This was a quaint restaurant that our friends took us too and we loved it! Had amazing margaritas and a wide selection of food to choose from! We ordered a burrito and enchiladas, they did not disappoint. What really made us happy were the size options for the margaritas!

I am a huge fan of El Maguey, though this was my first time at this location. The ordering process over the phone was easy. The restaurant felt clean and comfortable as I waited for my made fresh order. Everything was beyond delicious as we got a combination plate, steak quesadillas and chicken quesadillas. Of course we got cheese dip and chips too. For take out they do charge a .75 take out fee per person, which is understandable. Definitely will be back for dine in and take out.

Our family's favorite restaurant! So good, I couldn't even take a pic of El Toreado before we started chomping on it. We get the same thing almost everytime, because it's just so good: El Toreado and street tacos. That's enough for the three of us and leftovers for lunch the next day. I've been to Guadalajara numerous times for work and the tacos compare favorably with what you might find for real in Mexico.

The menu is practically endless! It's great that I can always try out something new. The people are very friendly and accommodating. Parking is always available too! It's not like 100% authentic but it's still pretty good for a Mexican restaurant.
