El Maguey Mexican Restaurant

Delicious food and friendly service. Nice ambience too. The Irene’s steak adobada special is really good.

This is one of the best restaurants in town. There are so many delicious choices on the menu and the staff is very attentive to your needs. You feel like your sitting in that great Mexican grandmas house that is excited for you to try her amazing cooking.

Perfect location for tasty Mexican Food. Clean and relaxing place to have a bite while watching your favorite sport on tv's. I liked the new raw and organic "Pitaya Dragon fruit" drink and the Enchiladas Mole I ordered. I only suggest to lower the salt on the shredded beef that they put in the enchiladas. They were a little over salty. The shredded chicken was good and the servers were excellente.

Prices are decent but the selling points are that it has good authentic Mexican food; great abondigas, taquitos, enchiladas and a big serving of delicious chips and guacamole to every table. You won't be sorry you stopped here.

Food was excellent. Roof was leaky, and water was dripping on our table.

Friendly attractive and cozy restaurant although we sat out on the lovely patio. Mexican food well seasoned and delicious. Coke products were just right not watery. The Cafe adjacent has 8 flavors of Lapperts Ice Cream. It's a premium Ice cream with tropical flavors. Enjoyed ourselves immensely. Highly recommend this place.

Delicious dishes, special happy ambiance, courteous and friendly service. Fun place to have a good dinner.

I like this venue a lot. there is a unique ambiance. The kitcen is tasty. the service is dynamic and the personel is friendly. The pay is reasonable. truly recommend.

Needed dinner and fuel while driving home from Disneyland. Pulled off in San Juan Capistrano and found this awesome place across the street from the mission. Extensive menu, the biggest margarita I've ever seen, great service. Really a terrific find.

Great authentic Mexican food. The fish tacos are excellent, as well as the carnitas. Chili relleno is great. The pozole soup is excellent. Service is good and friendly at this family owned restaurant.

Nice food

Plentiful selection of classic Mexican cuisine. A little loud, but that's what happens when your fans come to eat some of the best food around. Relax and enjoy!

Let me just say I haven't had Chile Colorado this good since I was a teenager! This place is small but has ALOT to offer !! I would definitely come here again and recommend the Chile colorado. Everyone loved their food.

This is a great place for anything Mexican. Make sure you try the posole...amazing

The food was great! Service was excellent. Was insanely impressed with ceviche and their chocolate ice cream was delicious. Not one complaint!

Located just stone throwaway from San Juan Capistrano mission this place offers excellent authentic Mexican dishes. The gringo breakfast with patties, potatoes, eggs and Mexican bread is absolutely gorgeous. The decor is rustic, outdoor seating is available, service is great. But only hiccup is the waiters will offer you appetizers, which is gucamole with chips, please find the price before ordering. The waiters may sound as if the appetizers are free but they aren't.

Walked here after visiting ZooMars. Nice little restaurant with many options. Clean tables. Friendly staff. I left my wallet in the card and they were kind enough to let me use Samsung Pay. Ordered a shrimp tostada that was a big serving. Chips and salsa were complementary which helped satisfy us before our food came. Kids meal had a generous portion. Definately will be back qhen in the area. Highly recommended if you're craving mexican food.

Family Favorite, we love this restaurant, the food, the servers, the friendly owners, and authentic Mexican food. And it's totally worth ordering the home made flan dessert 💜. Ps. The vegetable quesadilla is Awesome!

Good Mexican food just beer & wine, & fake margaritas. It's was busy so must be good
