Reviews for El Maguey in Jackson Heights, NY
As a Mexican.. this restaurant is disgusting and a disappointment. The quesadilla is soggy, the nachos are just chips and steak... thrown on with lettuce. Do not come here for good Mexican food. Read more
Went for cinco de mayo, very very busy. Drinks were tasty but food had a few issues, may give it a second try to see if they can... do a better job. Read more
Super poor quality of food, I don't know if they changed owners but it is definitely not the same quality or taste of years ago.... From the gucamole to the carnitas they were horrible, rancid taste. I will never go back and I would never recommend it. 0starts This is the replay: Apparently you are confusing me, it seems that I am not the only person who complains about thefood. We never complained about the tip, you included it in check( 30% gratitud), which was close to $200 dollars. We neverhad a fight with the waitress, on the contrary she was kind. And it wasn't dinner, we arrived around 3 pm. No one wassatisfied with the food, not recommended. It is seen how you cannot manage a restaurant as a manager or owner , you do not knowcustomer service and manners and you replay by lying. Read more
Music too loud, portions really small, prices aren't cheap or fare, servers are ok is not their fault, management should think... about making changes. Defenetly not a good portion to share, to make it up an only because my wife complaint we were offered acomplementary 4 shrimps. be more honest with the prices for the food you serve. Read more
Totally loved the atmosphere and loved how the interior looked. The food was good but the drinks were way too strong. A few of... them tasted like it wasn't mixed properly. All in all not a bad spot for a date night. Read more
If I could give you zero stars this would be the case. because the experience on this place has been the worst. starting with... the service at the table that they sat me, they had not cleaned it from the previous clients and they never cleaned the dirtyglasses to see that we were there. but they did include the obligatory tip. Another thing the guacamole was black is because itwas old and not to mention the hookah that did not work and when I told them that it did not work they did not do anything butthey charged it with the excuse that there was no manager to do something. or they gave me the option to give me a dessert butplease a dessert of $ 25 does not make sense the case was that I felt stolen because I had to pay something that I could neversmoked.

Beware, This place puts a tip on your bill automatically, even when it's a small $50 bill of a few drinks with appetizers for... only two people. I didn't realize this and I added 20% on to a bill that already had a %15 tip applied. I feel this isunnecessary for a restaurant to do when it's not a big party. I'm not opposed to the idea of a mandatory tip so much, I alwaysgive 20% no matter what - but the issue specifically is that receipt that was on top just had the total and a blank line for the tip - so if you didn't look at the itemized receipt underneath it, you wouldn't see that a tip was already added and you'dbe putting %20 on top of a total that already had 15% on it.
