We had enchiladas, rellenos, two kinds of tacos...so I felt like we had a pretty good sampling of Mexican food. All of it was great and the service was wonderful too. Salsa good and plenty of chips. They made fresh coffee for the grandpa with us and he was thrilled. We would drive back to eat here. read more

Great local find. Want a solid Mexican meal this is the spot. Ordered the smooth red burrito enchilada style!

I had a beef tamale and ground beef encillada. The beef in the encillada was flavorless. Tamale was similar, even withe sauce. My friend had a birra stew which she enjoyed and she said was very good. read more

The food was good and waitress was friendly/cute. The food was definitely American Mexican food and geared towards people that pronounce the "l" in rellenó. It's hard to get 5 stars with authentic México flavors nearby. I will go back occasionally. read more

Quintessential Mexican Restaurant. Service good. Beer and booze...no wine. Food portions very generous. Food itself rather ordinary. read more

Driving cross country and my gf and I don't eat at fast food restaurants anymore, so when it was time to stop for lunch, we found Bensen Arizona and nosed around. We actually found Magaly's while searching for another Yelp 4 star nearby. Clue #1: The parking lot was full. Clue #2: Authentic Mexican music playing inside. Clue #3: no burgers and fries on the Menu like so many "Mexican" places trying to be all things to all people. All homemade, big plates, reasonable prices and friendly prompt service. Who could ask for anything more? I had the Daily Special (enchilada, tamale and taco plate); braised beef was juicy and spiced just right for my taste. GF had Chipotle Chicken plate; she is a chipotle afficianado and she loved it. Added Rice and Beans are a meal in themselves! I don't give many 5 stars but Magaly's is terrific. read more

The food was plain but very expensive. We would have had better Mexican food at Taco Bell for less than 1/2 the cost (and more food). The fried ice cream, however, was awesome. read more

We live near Benson and this is our favorite local restaurant. The food is good and consistent and the portions are generous. Since we eat here often the selections become a bit monotonous but overall this is a very good place to eat when you are in Benson. Now if you were going to choose between eating here or eating at one of the better Mexican restaurants in Tucson, I'd much rather to to Tucson. read more

Been there dozens of times. Simple place with great Mexican food. Fast service. Clean.

I like what Dolores G. said about the place, so we went there. We were down in Benson for the Bluegrass festival and stayed the night and went to Magaly's. It was good, and Dolores was right about the Tortilla Soup; it was good and the salsa was good too. read more

I have been here on several occasions and every time the food has been great! The service has been great! I love the homemade salsa that is made too, even bought a huge tub of it for a low price to take with. It is usually a full house too, showing that this place is not some fly by night Mexican restaurant. The owner has come out often to make sure your food is to your liking. It is a real personable place and need I say more, go eat here! read more

The food was average, service was good... Their spicy is bland to me but I live in Texas. I think we probably should have stopped at Taco Bell. read more

You must try the chile relleno. I don't care what you order you must add a chile relleno to your order or you'll feel stupid while you watch everybody eat delicious chile rellenos. I'm traveling from Texas to San Diego and I'm so glad we stopped here for dinner. read more

Coming back from a Kartchner Caverns Tour, we found this little gem of a Mexican restaurant for a late lunch. The service was terrific and the food was quite good. Chips and two types of house made salsas were free and free flowing. We ended up ordering the daily special Chimichangas which were filled with tummies green and red chili Colorado. A solid place to stop along I-10. read more

Clean spot with good food. We had the tostadas and the meat was well seasoned and the toppings were fresh. Salsa was thin but tasty.

Excellent food & very good service. Prices are average, A little noisy, Very casual! I would recommend this for anyone.

We loved the red enchilada sauce! I agree with some other reviewers. The menu was confusing and the salsa was okay. The service was okay. I got really worried when I noticed that a nearby table that ordered just when we were seated waited a long time for their dinners. Even though we ordered 10 minutes after them, our food came about 2 minutes later than theirs. We were visiting from out of town and noticed the big crowd and had to check it out. It is definitely a favorite with locals. I strongly recommend trying the enchiladas! read more

Very Good Dependable Food, priced Commensurate with Quality. The Only Detriment is when all the Damn Snowbirds come and crowd the place. We live here 12 months out of the Year and dislike it when we have to share with these unwashed foreigners that wouldn't know good Mexican Food if it hit them in the face. If you can't understand the menu, you should head to Mickey D's. read more

Loved the food so much we bought dinner take out as we finished lunch. Sauces including the enchilada sauce some of the best I've ever had including some from very expensive places. read more

This was a wonderful restaurant my family visited today. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends. Great staff, great food, great prices. Thanks Magaly's! read more

We had to come to Benson for some business and had never been here before. The food was wonderful and the service was outstanding!!! I'm allergic to wheat and they were very careful. To make sure that everything was not contaminated. We will be making the trip back just to come here for dinner read more

The atmosphere and price were not five-star but the food was - beef tamales and chicken enchiladas.

Small portions, high prices. $27 for two small plates and an ice tea. They wanted $1.50 for a serving of sour cream. Food nothing out of the ordinary. read more

Having been a server myself, and in hospitality management now, I was appalled by the evident lack of concern these people had for customer relations and service. We had gotten an incorrect order; it wasn't a huge problem, but we wanted to call the manager and let her know that her staff needed to listen better when taking orders over the phone. When we called, we were told the manager was "too busy". When we called again a few minutes later, a different person answered the phone and said the manager was "gone". I pointed out that we had called not more than two minutes before. The manager appeared on the phone in record time. I mentioned to her what her staff had told me about her being "too busy" when my friend called, and she said, "Yeah, because I'm cooking". I don't know about anyone else, but I never affirm that I'm EVER too busy for a customer, even if I am. Lie if you have to and assure your client that you are never too busy to give them attention. Don't make excuses. Well, after that we were fed up and disgusted. The original problem with our order just wasn't worth the trouble of talking to these people. I confess that I expressed my frustration by telling the manager to never mind, and go back and hide in her kitchen. She said, "Thank you." read more

The Chicken Pipian is really good as well as the mole too. I would say best mexican food in Benson. The Tortilla soup deluxe is devine. Their food is just really good only reason not five stars is the beer & wine selection. read more

The food was excellent, I had the chicken fried mole and t was not bitter or to spicy! Great service! Wonderful fried ice cream!

I travel a lot on I-10 east of Tucson. Magaly's serves honest, good Mexican Food. Everything is good. I think it's better than average. The salsa is great. The cheese crisp with guacamole, cheese and chicken is a fantastic appetizer. Good service, plain surroundings read more

On a 2 wheel, 2-3 night ride, great food, great taste, decent decor. Recommended by motel desk a couple of doors down, easy on/off I 10. If in the area, will be back !! read more

We were not disappointed and the pricing was most reasonable. The place seems to be steadily busy but the staff had no problems turning tables. I'd go back again for sure! read more

This was the worst meal have had this entire winter. The wait staff was mediocre at best. We had to wait for a table when tables were available due to there being no one to bus the tables but the waitresses. We had to wait for drink refills as well. read more

Delicious food, very good service by friendly staff. On a 4 day vacation in Kartchner Caverns State Park my husband and I ate here twice. The decor is nicely done, with colorful walls hung with colorful Mexican ceramics. Somehow it avoided looking tacky, as can be the case. We had dinner one day, lunch another. Chilaquiles had a perfectly done soft egg on top, flavorful sauce and crispy tortilla strips. Chile rellenos were very good, except the sauce tasted more Italian. Posole had a red Chile broth with great flavor, and lots of tender meat- but not enough hominy for my taste. Eggs with chorizo served with beans was simple but good. Flour tortillas on the side were chewy and delicious. Chips crunchy and flavorful, served with two spicy salsas and Pico de gallo. read more

Driving back from San Diego and stopped for a quick meal. Food was very very good, the service was attentive. Price was good value for what we got. Enchiladas and tacos were good. read more

Excellent Mexican food. Fast, friendly service. Anything with the green chili is good. The cheese crisp with green chili is the perfect way to start the meal.... read more

I'm no stranger to good mexican food!! I can be a harsh critic sometimes. Me and my wife dined here this evening and had a 50/50 expierence. The atmosphere was quite alright. its one small dining room with a couple small and medium tables. I've never really liked eating somewhere where yuu can see the kitchen. It's a pet peeve of mine. It's a very plain layout, nothing too special, they great yuu with chips and salsa at the table. The salsa was mediocre at best. We ordered a 3 taco combo plate w/ beans and rice. 2 shredded beef and a chicken. The wifey had a chili relleno plate with the same. Everything was really fresh, and prepared real nice!! Tacos were pretty good. Meat was tender with good flavor for both! Nothing mind blowing. Beans and rice were good. Maybe just a little more would of been nice :) (small portions) the chili rellenos were on point to the T!! Actually a better plate than most around. It's really a 4 star review. I knocked off a star because the service wasn't too swell. Slow and we felt ignored alot. I would go back and try another dish. 2 combo plates and 2 sodas came out to $33.00 not.too pricy. Check it out.!! I recommend at least once. Guacamole was real nice too read more

Amazing service and really good mexican food! We were totally surprised at how quickly we were attended to after being seated. Beverages, chips, and salsa were in front of us immediately. The salsa was really yummy with just the right amount of spiciness. Our food order arrived quickly, was piping hot, and delicious!! Thank you Magaly's for a really good dining experience. read more

Enjoyed the food. Deliciuos chili rellenos and enchiladas. Yum yum. Wish i had room for the fried ice cream.

After a morning hiking through Kartchner Caverns, we stopped here for lunch. Service was friendly and good. I had burritos, and the other 3 in our party had various combination plates. We shared little bites of our plates all around. The food was tasty and plentiful, and, for the price, good. If you're expecting gourmet--no. But for a good, solid meal at a good price, this is a place I would come back to. read more

Really busy, but the staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. A Benson gem!!

Love eating here the food is great love the salsa! Staff really works hard to serve you. My favorite place to eat Mexican food.

Stopped in for lunch and was thrilled with the food and service! Both waitresses were attentive and made sure our orders were correct, served in a timely fashion and our drinks topped off. Our waitress, Samantha, was terrific!!! read more
