Wow! So amazed at the service and amazing authentic tasting food. You have to try this place if you are visiting this area. Food here is so so good, very impressed. The maragaritas are so good too! Many options for everyone! Thank you El Maguey restaurant, I will definitely always recommend this place and come back again. If you get a chance to meet the owners Irene and Enrique they’ll make you feel at home.

We love El Maguey! The food is always super authentic and fresh. Whatever you order is excellent and they load the plates! The atmosphere has a good local atmosphere. It's the only real Mexican restaurant in the area that is open at 8 am for breakfast.

Sat on patio. Nice TV in the corner playing infomercials for old people. Put on something interesting not omega xl pain relief at lunch time. The younger lady that seated us and came by a few times was nice and had a smile. Not so much from the older lady. Food was ok. Was charged for guacamole even though we didn't order it. Asked for them to remove it. Gave a $10 tip which i guess wasn't enough for poor service since the lady had to make a comment about it. Wasn't even that busy on the patio.

If you want to enjoy food Spanish-flavored dishes in a completely native atmosphere, I recommend this restaurant. Good location, friendly staff, reasonable prices, and the shredded beef taco is highly recommended.

Stopped here on our way home from Rosarito. It was authentic and delicious!
I got the albóndigas with a michilada. Chefs kiss
If I lived closer I’d be a regular!
