I have to be brutally honest. The setting was pleasant and the people were nice but this was the blandest Mexican food I've ever had in the east bay. I don't know why I expected better from Alamo, but this menu could use freshness and flavor. Also the margaritas are made with sweat and sour mix. Do not recommend. read more

I'm upgrading my rating because the staff here is so great and provides awesome service. We've taken to eating here a bit more because they're extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about gluten free requirements. One of our family members is gf and he's never gotten sick here. They can make most items gf and they take proper precautions to avoid cross contamination. The decor and furniture has all been updated recently and the ambiance is better as a result. Coming back to waitstaff, everyone is so nice and helpful. They greet you immediately and check in appropriately throughout the meal. Drinks and food are quick to arrive, even when it seems busy. They have a full bar. Plenty of parking out front, and outdoor seating available. Handicap friendly. Highly recommend this place for casual dining. read more

Outstanding food and service. We are from the South Bay where Mexican food is everywhere, but after trying the fake so-called Mexican food served in Danville, San Ramon, and Dublin it's great to see that here in the Danville/Alamo area we have a restaurant like Maguey to enjoy. read more

We enjoy the food and the service. Food is fresh and they have the best roasted vegetables. I often substitute the rice and beans with the vegetables to lighten my meal. I love the fajitas and the burritos. The margaritas are great too. read more

Love the food. Especially the flautas. Service is friendly. Nice dining room. Great margaritas. Will keep going back.

The food was great ! Cold beer , good food and good service with a great vibe. What more can you ask for ?!

This is literally the best food I have ever had in my 60 year life. Best salsa ever, I always get a pint. I dedicate life to the shredded chicken chimichanga and is an out of body experience. If I was on death row, this would be my choice of my final meal. The waiters are super kind and give a friendly vibe. read more

Food is always fresh and very good. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Always great service and great food!

This place is a total gem of a find. I was in town for a work event so stopped here to grab some food beforehand. I walked in and the place was pretty cold so I mentioned it to the server on staff. He quickly turned the heat up in the restaurant for me--I'm not used to such a quick response. Major brownie points there! I ended up switching tables a couple times as the group I invited to join me continued to grow before they arrived. The server helped me move each time which I was super grateful for. While waiting, he brought out their complementary chips and salsa. I usually do not indulge in chips though made an exception that day. They were amazing! The chips are thin and crispy, and the salsa is very flavorful with a solid kick. We all ended up getting the burrito bowl with black beans. It not only looked amazing, it tasted amazing too! I highly recommend this place, don't let its location in a strip mall fool you. The restaurant, and its bathrooms, are kept very well and clean. read more

This place is fabulous. We love the carne asada plate and the chili relleno plate, but ask for extra sauce on the relleno, It is well worth it. Deliciously out of this world! read more

We started coming going here about 3 years ago and have been happy with it. It is family Owned and operated. A great place for drinks and food. The fajitas and grilled chicken salad are excellent. The service is so fast you can barely eat many tortilla chips and salsa - also very good. read more

Nice remodel. My wife is Mexican and we eat here a lot because the food is excellent and it is hard to find good Mexican food in the area. The staff (mainly family of the owner) also makes the experience great. They are friendly, tentative and quick. It also is the best value in town (whether Alamo or Danville). The well stocked full bar is a plus too and I hear it will be remodeled soon also. A true asset to the community. read more

This was my second time here, in over a year, and Magueys is still a solid place to grab some authentic, delicious and well priced Mexican food. If it wasn't for Yelp, id never would of knew this place existed, as it's tucked in a small shopping center right off the freeway with no visible signage. Food: 1. Shrimp quesadilla {4/5 stars, $14} - Delicious sautéed shrimps with caramelized veggies, pico de gallo, and guacamole. Shrimp cooked perfectly and very tasty. 2. Chicken Enchiladas green sauce {4/5 stars,$14} - Two yummy enchiladas with a spicy green chili sauce. Could you more sauce though. Served with beans and rice, both are delicious. 3. Carne Asada {4/5 stars, $16} - Large flat iron streak with beans, rice, pico de gallo, and guacamole. Really good. Streak was well seasoned and charred. Was cooked medium well though... wish was more rare. Still very delicious. Service: Friendly and prompt. Overall: A hidden gem of a restaurant that serves quality food, large portions, and delicious food. If nearby, a great place to visit! read more

Having been here several times I have to say that the food is consistently good, but they are short staffed so service is a little slow and inattentive. There is a sign that has been posted at the restaurant for over a year that says they are short staffed and please be patient. After this long, they should have been able to hire some help. Hopefully they read this review and address the problem. read more

Excepted food and service! I have never had a bad meal here. Parking and seating is abundant.

Sadly even though their burritos tasted great, food poisoning occurred. I just wanted to share but of course with any food poisoning, it can happen with even the best restaurants. Objectively other than that they had great refried beans and rice and overall felt like a blend between restaurant mex and taqueria mex. read more

The service was great, the food was good, and the restaurant was a beautiful design. However, the food was over priced in my opinion. Also, the flautas only came in one meat option (chicken). I was very disappointed because I was craving pork flautas for 2 days. read more

Went to Maguey's last week. The fajitas were excellent! In fact, they were the best fajitas I've ever had. Everything was so fresh and tasted wonderful. I had a top shelf margarita, which was five star The server was very attentive, and I gave him a five star as well. We had a great experience and will definitely be back soon. read more

Love Maguey, employees are very friendly and prompt. Food is always great and we have drained more than a few Cadillac margaritas. One of our go to places. Support local businesses!! read more

Maguey Mexican has a two page menu of familiar favorites, which makes selecting easy and satisfying. With every entrée having a home cooked vibe and a bar with a wide selection of drinks, the chips & salsa get you in the door, the salsa has a kick of cilantro, moderate sized portions and exceptional service will keep you here. Maguey cannot miss for the Mexican food fan in all of us. read more

This place took over from another long-time Mexican restaurant in a small strip mall in Alamo. Upon our arrival, we were promptly given chips and salsa for starters and we ordered a glass of wine and a margarita. Then we chose two combinations - the fish tacos which were excellent and cooked perfectly! The other combination was not as good as I ordered the crunchy taco and chile relleno. I enjoy a crispy taco which is newly fried and this taco was a pre store bought. The chile relleno was still frozen which tells me it is frozen to start with - not freshly prepared. They were gracious when I brought it to their attention and got a new one made. All in all, the service was good but they need to improve the food quality at least with their crispy tacos and chile relleno. read more

The atmosphere is like that if Don Jose's with a few upgrades. Overall solid restaurant and value is there. read more

This restaurant replaced an awful one a few years ago. Each time I visit, the food, service and ambiance improves. When customers sit down they receive a menu, excellent tortilla chips and mild and hot salsa. Order a pitcher of margaritas and they really put tequila, liquor and real lime juice. The server will advise you of the specials and answer your questions without acting annoyed. Always nice and prompt, they bring high quality meals; my wife loves their soups. Give the place a try; you'll enjoy it. read more

I found several vegetarian options and delivery was quick on a busy day. I had the nachos.

This place is doing it right! We popped in for a quick and easy lunch and Maguey delivered. We were seated outside, and it was nice and quiet in their little courtyard space. The chips and salsa were delcious. Our waitress was very courteous as we looked over the menu for the first time. The burrito was yummy. Nothing super crazy, but was a great filling meal before I got on the airplane to come home. If I lived in the area I would continue to support this cute little spot! Nice job! read more

Never had a bad meal and have tried all chicken and vegetarian entrees. It's delicious and fair price

Ok so I want to say the food is ok but it is not at all it tastes like absolute garbage from the dumpster. Another thing I would like to say is the service in fact it was so bad that the waiter did not come back we had to wait 25 minutes for him to come back this is really sad. The Ambiance of the restaurant felt like I. The ally way in a really sketchy place it was loud and ugly designs to. So before you come to this restaurant I hope you look at this entire review! read more

Where to start...margarita- 10- not too sweet- perfect! We followed this family owned restaurant from Pleasant Hill and hoped for the same great food. We were not disappointed. A fan favorite - shrimp quesadilla. The salsa provided with the chips is to die for. Burrito bowl- 10. Service- 10. We were there at 7:30 on a Saturday night when they close at 8:00 and it was packed. I think the only reason this gem does not have a bigger following is the location. It is a treasure for those who find it! Hopefully they gain enough business to open Sundays! read more

Ate there last night for dine-in and the food was absolutely delicious! I had the 2-item combo with Chx enchilada and chile relleno - they were so fresh tasting and had just the right amount of spice for me. Their chips and fire-roasted salsa was pretty spectacular too. Our masked waiters were very friendly and efficient, and the food came out very quickly. Can't wait to go back! read more

Drove 12 miles to this restaurant in search of authentic Mexican food with an outdoor seating option. While waiting to be seated I saw a sign that said "We are understaffed -- please be patient." And indeed, I wound up waiting almost 10 minutes just to be acknowledged. I was then told the patio wasn't open on this weeknight. I won't be returning. read more

Made a reservation for New Year Eve. Did not call me. They were closed . Terrible customer relations!
