El Maguey Mexican Restaurant

Reviews & Tips

  There are not many great  Mexican places in Anderson, but this is probably one of the better ones. The food is good, and the spicy dishes can make you sweat. It has the cheesy decor that I've come to expect in midwestern Mexican restaurants.  So it gets a solid 3 stars as best among the average.  I'm planning to go back so we'll see if this place grows on me...

  Never had a meal I didn't like. I frequent at least twice a month.
  
  Definitely a great (sometimes awkwardly) quiet alternative to Real Hacienda/Riviera Maya. Staff is always friendly and very timely. Lunch seating is almost immediate. Never have had to wait for table.
  
  Especially love the Pico de Gallo. And when mixed with the salsa, look out!
  
  Perfect for large groups during the lunch hour.

  Move over, Real Ha, this is Anderson's best Mexican. Scratch that, this is my favorite Mexican restaurant of all the 4 cities I've lived in. Great food, big portions, and the wonderful queso smothered Mexican that Midwesterners and South easterners enjoy. For some reason, AU students gravitate to Real Hacienda, so El Maguey is the best kept secret in town. Quiet, never very crowded, but excellent.

  Restaurant is family owned, staff is very friendly. The food was excellent, loved the Arroz con pollo! The margaritas were refreshing and hit the spot.

  Was a very clean place to enjoy lunch. Service was very friendly and fast. Food was fresh and fast. Not to mention the food was right on. The chips and salsa was fresh and hot. If you want it hot and spicy ask them.  All the way to the Fried Ice Cream for desert... Priced very well.  Thank you Luis for the fabulous dining!
