Cheese dip, ACP Texacano, quesadillas, enchiladas they are all good. I come here over and over again. Not sure how authentic it is but it is delicious.
We enjoy The Guacamole and the chargrilled shrimp salad, however on our last visit, the shrimp were more steamed than grilled and not as good as normally. Bring back the char grill shrimp, please!
YUMMY YUMMY FOOD!!!!!!!! great place to hang out with friends and family!! their food is delicious and comes out fast!
After a long day, husband and I were too tired to figure out something to cook for dinner, so we decided to go next door to El Maguey. We had two baskets of warm chips with salsa on the table before we could finish getting in the booth and two large margaritas moments later. Service was excellent and very attentive, and everything we ordered came out very quickly. The super dip was really tasty, and husband very much enjoyed the street corn. I normally get the ACP Texana (which is large enough for at least two meals) but tonight i decided to get the taquitos, which were also tasty. The food here is solid Americanized Mexican, very consistent, and the service is always great.
I heard from a friend that this place has great and authentic Mexican food. It was really busy on a Friday night. My friend and I got a table pretty quickly and both of us ordered the street tacos. Four tacos: chorizo, chicken, steak, and another meat. They contain the cilantro onion and radish as one would expect. There is a half lime and a small bowl of a green sauce. The tacos are pretty tasty but not particularly traditional. The sauce is as hot as ketchup, which is probably ideal for most of the customers. It has a nice flavor, sort of like a creamy tomatillo. I did ask for some hot sauce and the waiter brought a small bowl of something red. It was hot but not unbearable. There were chips and salsa on the table, pretty standard. The waiter was bustling, but he came by the table at least once every five minutes. No issues. The inside of El Maguey is normal for a Mexican restaurant in North Carolina. If you've seen one, you've almost seen them all. Overall, what I had was good, but I would say it's fairly Americanized. Worth trying!
Who doesn't love some delicious street tacos? What about amazing Sopes? Always friendly and polite service! To go orders are quick, fresh and hot! Definitely a popular Mexican food restaurant of mine!
Today was my first visit to this spot ( though I have eaten at Palaenque in Kernersville, and numerous times at Kiosco in Greensboro - common ownership apparently). This interior is a bit on the upscale side - bright & attractive, soft lighting , with colorful paintings on the softly painted walls. Untypical Mexican music was softly playing in the background, almost a classical sound, nice! I came especially to try their version of Huevos Rancheros - a simple comfort food dish often turned into "food messed about" in this country, by both Mexican and non-Mexican restaurants alike. For the non-Mexican places the dish has become a fad brunch item, lending itself to even further wild variations! I was quickly seated, handed the substantial menu, and my beer order was taken - Dos Equis Lager, the large (25 oz) for $4.99! I ordered the dinner portion of Huevos Rancheros (3 over easy eggs rather than 2 - the over easy description is from their menu) with sides of rice and refried beans, and corn tortillas (looked like flour to me) as well as a side of black beans (portion was huge!) - gonna being taking some home for sure! The order was out in just at 10 minutes. The Huevos Rancheros was prepared pretty much in the traditional format - just fried eggs and a spicy rancheros sauce - no onion, no cilantro, no cheese, no sour cream, no avocado, no pico - nothing wrong with these items if you like them, but each moves it further from the traditional version. Unfortunately the eggs were not over easy and they were not resting on crispy tortillas! Only the overcooking of the eggs and the amazing lack of the tortillas were missteps, albeit rather large ones, for me anyway. The 3 eggs were cooked together and then folded over before the sauce was added - the yolks were cooked solid - part of the inherent pleasure of this dish is the mingling of the runny yolk with the still soft white and the spicy sauce - was denied that aspect as well as the missing texture of the tortillas! Overall this was a good tasting dish, but overcooking the eggs & the missing tortillas took it down a notch or two. The sides were tasty as well, much more than just starch fillers - beans were combo of whole and mashed. The service was exceptional, both my server and the manager checked to see if I was satisfied, if I needed anything. I will almost certainly return, though not for this dish - too much missing! But I'm convinced there is much that is good here - service. value, ambiance. Dish was a 3, all else a five, thus the four.
Wife and I come here often. Staff is wonderful. Always smiling. Drinks are potent. Always a good time.
Food was pretty good. I ordered takeout and got a CHEESE ENCHILADA and BEEF TACO with RICE. I also ordered a QUESADILLA. I had requested shredded beef in the taco but ended up with ground beef. Wasn't to happy about that, but it was still alright and seasoned well. They included some free CHIPS and SALSA and the chips were fresh and so was the salsa! Wish the salsa had more of a kick, but still enjoyed it. The enchilada was probably the best I've had since moving from California. I'm starting to accept that Mexican food just isn't the same here. I think I tasted some queso in there, which bummed me out, but it was still good. The quesadilla didn't include sour cream or guac but I loved it! Had my own sour cream at home so was good to go, but heads up that they don't come with anything.
