This is a regular staple in our families diet but since COVID this place has gone down hill with their food. Today was the absolute worst experience I've had there. Don't order the fried chicken salad. Was Dyno bites cut up in lettuce, nothing else.
Ive got to say they didn't charge us for my meal and also let me order something different. But overall a disappointing dinner on a holiday weekend

We have been going to El Maguey since the 90’s. Consistently, hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in St. Louis. My normal go to is tostadas or chicken taco salad. Last night I tried something new, tamales. Delightful! Space is beautifully decorated and staff more than kind. ❤️
Man the food here is absolutely amazing... like I have no words. The pollo feliz was perfect and the chimi cheesecake was just omg! Eat here you will love it
This place is a gem of the area. One of the best Mexican restaurants in St.louis. If you have never been here you should. If no one has told you about this place its because there keeping for themselves... Thursday night they have excellent prices on Lime margaritas what better place to enjoy your margarita. The chips were served warm and not heavily salted. the salsa had been made fresh. My quesadilla was fully loaded with meat and cheese the way I like it! Very reasonably priced. I definitely will be back!
I got the callejeros tacos with shrimp and carne asada and it was very good - have always enjoyed what I have gotten here. Also ordered a jumbo frozen lime margarita - more than enough for me to drink! 😂 The jumbo is probably equivalent to two normal sized drinks.
They were also short staffed there today, and super busy, and still managed excellent service. It's a smaller location but just as solid as the bigger ones.
Amazing experience on my lunch break. Was served super fast, and the birria tacos were insane. Definitely going to be coming here more often for sure!
Me and my mother came to eat dinner, I had the El Toriado. I love this dish, and I can't find it everywhere. The flavor is on point, very delicious. It's fire 🔥 Chips and salsa we're also fresh and tasty 😋
The guy that took my order....all I'ma say keep doing you brother awesome job man!!! Took great care of me an went above an beyond very pleased with him an this place
Very nice people so friendly!! And the food was absolutely killer. Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting some good authentic hispanic food
The menu looked great, but when I saw burrito carne asada, I knew what I was ordering. I’ve had plenty of these in my life time and this was the best one ever. The steak was flavorful and really nice cuts.
The salsa and chips were okay - the salsa was moderately hot and a bit tart. Chips were standard.
Service at lunch was good and the food came out fast. I’ll be back.
