Walked in on a Saturday afternoon and there were only three couples eating in the whole building, two of which left as we arrived. There was nothing to greet us but a sign to inform that all bills have an automatic 15% gratuity and that there is a 3.5% service charge on credit/debit cards. As we were reading a worker walked up but didn’t say anything. She later came back and asked “how many?” To which I responded two, my guy and I. She seats us in a booth, tosses the menus on the table and walked away. I immediately noticed one of the menus sitting in water left by a cup that had been sitting on the table. My guy informed her that the table needed to be wiped down to which she immediately rolled her eyes. I could not believe it! What did we do to deserve such horrible service after being in the building less than five minutes. I wanted to just go but my guy asked for the manager to which the rude, short pudgy lady replied that she was the manager. SAD! She proceeded to tell us to leave her establishment (which we were doing already) and even threatened to call the cops. It escalated quickly over nothing and we are still clueless on what caused her nasty attitude. Needless to say, you won’t catch me in there. This is what happens when establishments get comfortable with constant clientele. They stop trying…service is not a thought and fees are imposed as if they have no fear that the community would ever say no. Most don’t say no, most accept the poor service and increased fees (with no explanation) and wonder why the state of service in many restaurants is trash these days. We work hard for our money and should NEVER spend where we aren’t welcomed ir appreciated. Trash, trash, trash experience at this establishment!

Charges 15% Gratuity a NCA charge if you use a card, plus taxes. My item was 13.99 ended up spending 18.50 after all these charges. Absolutely not will be returning to this location I just wanted a cheap lunch. Then the waitress basically begged for high dollar tips after just okay service . Absolutely not.

Visiting and this was just a walk down from the our hotel. We enjoyed the service and the food. Their Birria tacos and chile rellenos were yummy!! Tasted just like my parent’s and family’s cooking so I was happy to eat here. They charged the tip ahead which is AWESOME! I support that all restaurants should do this or raise prices so that all workers can have reasonable wages!

Not from the area but I was visiting for the event. My Wife and I along with a friend of ours stopped in for food we were greeted and seated. Got our drinks right away we had chips and salsa with queso as well as chicken Nacho. The whole table shared. Then we had some BIRRIA TACOS that are only available on weekends. The tacos were great and it was a great experience. Seating is kind of tight but overall a great place to eat.

Out of all the El Maguey’s in the city of St. Louis I dislike this one the most. It doesn’t have the same inviting feeling as the one out on Natural Bridge Rd or the one down on S. Kingshighway. You would think since the menu is the same the food would be just as good..well no it’s ok..doesn’t leave you with that feeling of I can’t wait to come back here..It kinda make you wonder how they still open..oh wait I know the drinks..that’s the only reason I’d probably go back.

Outside dining at it’s best, this food at El Maguey in the Delmar Loop was so delicious I almost forgot that we were in a pandemic. We had a table outside even though the inside was available as well, but it was absolutely beautiful outside we couldn’t resist. The food was prepared with utmost excellence with a desire to take your mind away from the every day talk of the pandemic and to put your mind at ease through the satisfaction of every bite that goes into your mouth with the savory taste of the chicken, shrimp, beef, peppers, onions and flavorful seasonings, retried beans, the coolness of the lettuce, pico de Gallo and sour cream, “pure deliciousness” all set up to eat all you can, and just place the rest in the bags that were left with the food because they know you’ll have plenty left to take with you for later. The entire crowd in the Loop was wearing mask and remaining socially distant and enjoying they’re evening as well… Bravo StL

The BEST mexican restaurant in St.Louis! My husband and I took a road trip all the way from Denver, Co just to try this spot! We totally recommend “Mexican Taquitos” and the “Chicken Chimichanga smothered with cheese” you will not be disappointed!
