    The best thing is my food came out super fast. The service towards the end was slow. Food was good. Also most dishes do not come with rice and beans. You will have to order that separately

    I wouldn’t advise you ordering online from this restaurant. They can not read simple notes or allergens and when asked about it in the store. The employee states out the exact information listed in your notes. But when you get home, twenty minutes away you realized you have been lied to. Secondly tacos where extremely bland. Portions inside the store are bigger than any online purchase. I personally didn’t like the experience the first time I went inside to eat, due to everyone looking at me from the kitchen while I tried there food.

    Went to try it again bc the girls at work ordered lunch from here. Terrible all over again!! They forgot multiple items and then we had to have someone argue with them in Spanish bc they wouldn’t listen to us flan was burnt over done with no caramel sauce chili relleno was battered in this thick hard batter and you could not cut through the pepper at all. The chips and salsa were decent I guess

    I went to get a DoorDash order from here and they weren't busy at all, maybe 4-5 tables with at least 3 or 4 servers that I saw, a manager and I seen 3 cooks, but I still waited almost 30 mins for the DoorDash order!! I SO wasn't happy AT ALL and made me decide I won't be going back for any reason, especially personal

    The service was slow but the server was nice. Food was just ok at best. My burrito tasted like it had tomato soup poured on it and the meat inside was very dry. Chips tasted almost stale. Overall a very disappointing meal

    #ElMagueyMexicanRestaurant was a great find after a very long drive. We found it close to our hotel. The restaurant happened to be busy, a good sign, but we were seated right away. The menu is substantial many choices to consider, but in the end The Restaurant had the Mexican dish I was craving. #PolloEnCrema chicken with a cream sauce. This one had something new, besides the mushrooms, green peppers and onions it had #broccoli yes, Not what you think as Mexican food ingredient, But it totally worked with the dish. They grill the veg and chicken which made the dish richer. The dish also came with Mexican rice, lettuce, and pico de gallo. I ordered a jumbo #margarita and enjoyed it very much. Buzzing. My husband ordered the #CaldoDePollo Chicken soup with chunks of chicken, rice, pico de gallo, tortillas. It was yummy. He enjoyed it and so did I. The soup was very comforting. In typical Mexican restaurant expectation the restaurant had complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were warm from being recently fried. The #salsa was mild but it allowed you to add heat from a bottle of #habaneroSauce I was so glad to find El Maguey Mexican Restaurant we found the place easily and they had great food and friendly service. I would visit again when in town. #kansasCity #RayTown

    I did a to go order and put on there no onions or pico due to allergens. And the lady specifically said it when she handed me bag. We got home and there was onions in the meat. When I called they said they’d remake and to bring it back. Then they were extremely rude!!. Claims there’s onions cooked in all the meat, but the meat’s pink and not cooked all the way.

    I ordered the Nacho Supreme. I got home , less than 5 minutes away. I had no napkins, no eating utensils, the food looked like a plate of garbage, I had to hunt for the nachos which were soggy and very few. Because I was tired and hungry, I attempted to eat it anyway. As I'm writing this review my stomach is very upset 😡 and making a lot of noise. This is my second time tryjng this place, never again.

    Update: Stark difference from pick up to delivery. I called because I accidentally ordered pick-up. Pretty much told me it was not their problem. Multiple missing items after I picked it up and got it home. I called to let them know, and they argued with me about it. I wasn't trying to get a refund or replacement, just letting them know. It will be a while, if ever, I order from there again. I love their food!! I order delivery from there often! It is always perfect!

    My my my the food was delicious!!! Chips and salsa to start are a win all the time! I hate I didn’t take any pics but the enchiladas are a must have! Any style!!!! 🤤 😋

    If your looking for authentic Mexican food this is not the place to go. Everything we ordered had zero taste to it as if they didn’t put any seasonings on anything. My grandma would love this place. You can tell they cater to the white people crowd by the unseasoned boiled chicken. And plain tasteless beef. Service was awesome I will say. Very fast and friendly and beautiful looking inside. The food just is tasteless.

    Been coming here for several years and just recently went after not having been for a while. Food was good- my quesadillas were crispy and not soggy like some places, and my Dad's enchiladas were tasty too. I ordered a side of rice and got a pretty good sized plate of it. The queso was kinda watery though. My mango margarita was good too. Service was guick and our server was really nice and attentive. Really my biggest quirk is the new seating! I loved the old seating/booths they had. The new ones aren't as comfortable or homey.

    Awesome food, spicy salsa was so good but very 🔥🔥🔥, loved the burn, El maguey fajitas were bomb! Great atmosphere and quality service!

    The El Toriado is my go to.. it has all the best stuff! Chicken, bacon, beef, shrimp, rice, and cheese sauce. Soo delicious, eat it like that or make into tacos. Quick, attentive staff.

    I was with a large party. When I ordered my food I asked for sour,cheese & cilantro on the side. I never got it... my cousin sitting next me asked for a refill on water 3 different times, she never got it. We're not sure what the issue was. The waiter never asked anyone at our table was there anything else he could get us. I've eaten at this restaurant many times and always had good service. Maybe the waiter was having a bad day.

    We have been eating at El Maguey for years and years. One of our favorite restaurants in the city. Service is always fast and friendly, food is so good we don't talk and the atmosphere is relaxing.

    I stood there for about 3 minutes before anyone greeted me. Then I had to wait a long time for my food. I had to also pay extra just because I wanted it to go.

  • 5/5 Brittany Crawford (. 1 year ago on Google
    El Maguey is a Raytown classic and one of my all-time favorites! I always get the fajita nacho mix with an extra helping of their cheese sauce. I swear, I love that sauce so much, I could drink it! The food is amazing and the taste hasn't changed a bit since they've been around. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this WONDERFUL place. 10/10 would recommend!

    Came here after a horrible day at work. Instantly greeted with smiles and seated less than 2 minutes coming in the door. Placed our order and was brought chips and salsa. I had the chicken fajitas... delicious. Date had a meal that came with pork, but he doesn't eat pork so the meat was substituted with no issues. I had the jumbo margarita and he had the monster. With drinks and entrees our meal came out to about 57.00.

    Very good mexican. I like the taquitos, but the enchilada sauce is pretty solid, cheese enchiladas and rewardingly thick, and salsa (hot and regular) are good. Portions are generous as well, and prices are extremely reasonable.

  • 1/5 Tori Y. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the 4th time my order has been messed up, I ordered 3 soft tacos only meat an cheese. And I received tacos with all the works. This is the 4 time our order and been messed up! I will be calling tomorrow so you can compensate for all the disgusting mistakes you Restaurant's made. I'm Appalled you cant get a single take out order correct

  • 2/5 Mike M. 1 year ago on Google
    For the love of God, don't get the combo meals. I had a number 11 and there must've been a pound of un seasoned hamburger in there. It was basically a can of enchilada sauce poured over tortillas and hamburger meat. Judging from what I saw other people getting, I think I just ordered the wrong thing.

  • 5/5 Chelli T. 1 year ago on Google
    Super attentive and welcoming service. The chicken in my enchiladas tasted like it had been chopped and grilled in my mother's kitchen. If you like spice, I recommend mixing one of the bottled sauces into the house salsa. While tasty, it's very mild.

    After a day at Arrowhead stadium we consoled ourselves with a couple of wonderful margaritas. These are medium size globes and were really nice. Great prices, very good service, and really good quality food! We would definitely come back
