Nothing outstanding to recommend on the menu but if you and the family are in the mood you can get something to please everyone who likes Mexican. All of them are the same when it comes to menu and decor. Notice the hand-carved benches and ask where they got them if you want to buy one for out or indoor... More

if you are looking for inexpensive, basic Mexican food, then this is your place. I've never lived in Texas or Mexico, so I don't know about perfect Tex-Mex or perfect Mexican, but for a midwesterner looking for our perception of Mexican food, then this is the place. And the price is very reasonable. The decor looks just like 99% of... More

I have lived in Texas for the last 30 years this is the worst food I have ever had. I was very disappointed and sad that I wasn't going to be able to find adequate Mexican food in this area. I have found it just not at El Maguey, this place is just bad.

People of St. Charles county, this is not REAL Mexican food, it's tex-mex. it's average at best. The beef enchiladas are very bland and have no seasoning. Most of the dishes are average and taste like they were frozen then thawed and reheated before serving. The margaritas are very good and the waitstaff is very nice. I've live most of... More

Each El Maguey is slightly different in decor, but the menus are all very similar (not exact). The Caldo de Pollo is a wonderful home-made chicken soup that I swear is a cure for whatever is ailing you! Other favorites include the carnitas and anything in an enchilada. Very casual, affordable beer and margaritas, relaxed environment for families and friends.... More

Nice variety of Mexican food. Have enjoyed everything we have tried. Quick service and the chips and salsa are nice to much on while waiting for order.

This place was suggested by the front desk clerk at our hotel. It was a great suggestion. I had a great burrito with steal tips, and my daughter had a cheese enchilada. The food was served quick and hot. Great value, and our waitress was great.

People of St. Charles County just don't know what good mexican food is and sorry to say never will. I lived 3 years in CA and married into a Mexican family, been to some great places and experience great home cooked mexican food. I can say that El Maguey (and no place in st. charles county I have found) is... More
