I ordered Texas fajita nachos. Sorry not good at all barely had any cheese. Only had 3 shrimp. Exactly what you see in the picture is what I got. More tortilla chips then chicken or steak. Food looked under cooked. Not worth $16. I prefer Señor fiesta.

Excellent food. Great service! Highly recommend the Pollo Ranchero. I also got the monster margarita and it was delicious.

Unfortunately, it was far from a pleasant experience. We decided to try their fajitas and tacos, only to be disappointed by the quality. The veggies and meat lacked freshness and were undercooked, leaving us with an unsatisfying taste. The tacos, in particular, were simply inedible, drenched in excessive oil and unnervingly chewy. Adding to our frustration, the customer service was disappointingly slow, further dampening the overall experience. However, on a positive note, the one redeeming aspect was the presence of good music, which added a touch of enjoyment to an otherwise disappointing visit.

We bypass Senor Frog by Krogers to eat here where the food is fresher, taste better and the service is superb!! My husband love’s trying different dishes but my absolute favorite is the Sopa Azteca….best soup in Gainesville. It’s freshly made and I can’t get enough of it.

The service is absolutely terrible. The food is good. I recommend ordering take out and avoiding in house dining at this location.

Great! We are visiting family from out of town and they suggested El Maguey. Fairly busy but we got right in, service was great and food was even better! I wanted to try something new so I present to you This monster of a dish is called Molcajete. Beef, chicken, steak, shrimp, cheese, green onions, banana peppers and nopalas (prickly pear cactus) cooked and served fajita style in this Molcajete! Awesome!

Been going here since I was a child and now I bring my own kids! The food is always amazing(my husband LOVES the cancun burrito I prefer the paella) there’s plenty of kid options and the portions are very well sized. Great service every time. Just always a wonderful experience. It was about $80 After tip for 3 kids and 2 adults all getting a meal, drink, appetizer, cheese dip. Definitely worth it for a nice dinner out with family.
