1rst time eating @ this El maguey lunch menu prices posted online for this el maguey are much less than what the actual price chgd #1 speedy Gonzales 450 chrgd 5.95

They have always been very inexpensive to me, especially margarita Mondays! Menu price that I saw was 5.75, a little different than your 5.95... maybe some third party site got it wrong? http://www.elmagueystl.com/menu

Love this place!!

This is the only El Maguey I will dine at.the margaritas are phenomenal. You can even mix the flavors (see frozen peach/strawberry pictured). The food has been consistently good each time I've visited. The service can be pretty slow. We waited around 20/25 mins before we got our drinks which were ordered as we sat down. They took our food order right as we got our drinks so we were there for a while, this last time. The decor is very vibrant and festive. Always very clean. I've always avoided the El Maguey chain due to bad experiences. This one really is worth giving a shot though!

It's reliably good Mexican with the standard American influences. The "street tacos" are really good and authentically Mexican.

Enjoyed the food and service was good but we had a large party and were squeezed into a room too small for our group. Didn't have a room bigger than 14 people.

Food was amazing. The service was quick, arrived about an hour before closing and you could not tell. Nothing was compromised with our arrival, the food was hot and delicious, the servers pleasant and attentive. Went to another location and was treated the same.

I've been here a couple times and I really enjoy the vibe here. I'm from CA so they had to take my ID to a back room to make sure my ID wasn't fake. They have a great selection of beers (and I got a 32 oz. Blue Moon for only $4.99!). The food was good the last time I was there - this time I ordered a burrito that I didn't enjoy terribly but definitely could have just been my own tastes - no fault of the restaurant itself. Great service and a lively, ethnic atmosphere

So... it tasted good. The service wasn’t awesome. The waiter never asked how everything was and it took us forever to get refills. The lettuce didn’t look too fresh. Tasted ok, but some of the pieces looked a little old. It was satisfying overall for dinner.

We went here for a get together with 7 rowdy ladies, for my friend Corey's birthday. We had a total blast their margarita's were amazing and the food was just as impressive. Shout out to our server Dylan for putting up with our drunkeness!

The food is okay, but the service is always lacking. The place will fill up very quickly during lunch and dinner. However, getting the attention of your waiter/waitress can be a challenge at times.

Great margs. good food, a neat bar area, and a nice patio with umbrellas. The service can be slower at times and there can be a wait at times. The patio is very nice, the waitstaff is very polite and the decor is great. They have a nice fountain just off the patio as well.

The pork and onions of my carnitas were very tender and tasty but I would have preferred grilled jalapenos with the dish rather than the pickled / out-of-a-jar version that were served. $3.50 draft of Modelo hit the spot. My son had street tacos with tilapia for the filling and enjoyed them a lot.

I would say this place is overlooked, but it is always full, although any fajita there is going to be incredible. What is overlooked are the Caldos, (soups), I love them year round but in the winter they totally rock! The final part of this place is the staff, they are always friendly and even in the busiest time seem to be present when you want them. I've been to others but the Ballwin /Manchester one shines for quality, service, and atmosphere. ( the bar is great too!!)

We came in for dinner in a Tuesday and they have a "kids eat free" promotion and great beer specials. We have been here a few dozen times over the years. The staff is friendly and the management is exceptional. A couple of surprises this evening. I don't normally think of this as a healthy eating option, but I ordered tonight was absolutely fantastic and perfect for someone trying to eat a little better.The Special Guadalajara was fresh tilapia, grilled shrimp and grilled veggies over rice bed. Pictures attached. My wife ordered a steak quesadilla that was absolutely outstanding. Pictures also attached. The prices are extremely reasonable and they are fast and consistent.I would give them two strong thumbs up and did give them a 5-star review!
