El Maguey — Restaurant in Delaware

A very honest review:

We've been coming here for the weekend nightlife; the bar and dance floor, DJ - it's all great! They always have a great music Latin music selection. The bar is always great with their drinks. I would rate their nightlife/club/bar a 4.5 ⭐

Today we decided to come out for Mother's Day @ 6:30pm, and on Sundays they offer seafood @ half-off. Their food service is a 1-star ⭐ I'm sorry but c'mon Maguey! How about ya hire actual people that have experience with serving/waiting tables, especially when it comes to handling a table of 10+ people. Our drinks came out in plastic cups, not how they're shown on the menu (for the nightlife I understand plastic cups, but lunch/dinner be more presentable). Our waitress looked stressed/overwhelmed, she missed taking someone's order from our party 👎🏽 We placed our orders around 6:45/50, it felt like an eternity waiting for our food - it was 8:10 and still no food. Not once did our waitress ask how we're doing, no update, not asking us if we needed refills or another drink. Eventually the food started to come out.... Mi mujer was still waiting on her food while everyone else had theirs, we asked our waitress where her plate was and she was like, "oh... What did you order again?" Wait what?!? She didn't just forget one order, she forgot someone else's order of tacos that we just said leave them alone. She wasn't picking up the done plates to make room on the table, we had to tell her what to take. Didn't come around asking if we needed refills, more napkins, NOTHING. The food was delicious, don't get me wrong on that part, but THEIR FOOD SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! Our check even came out wrong after she had already taken our card to run it, she comes back with another total; and too top it off, we had placed a to-go order mid eating our food; we finished our plates, we were ready to go, asked where the to-go order was, our waitress told us it'll be out in a few. 10min passed, no food. 15min pass, no food, 30min passed, no food. Our table started to clear out and STILL NO TO-GO ORDER! Someone from our party had to go to the bar, request an update on the to-go order, and kept telling her, "it'll be out soon." What about an update, why's the food taking so long; did ya forget?!? That's ridiculous, an HOUR for a to-go order....... NEVER again! Save your time and money people, just go here for the nightlife and NOT FOR A FAMILY LUNCH/DINNER.

Food service: 1-star Food: 4-stars Music: 5-stars Weekend nightlife: 5-stars

We'll just stick to coming out on the weekends at night for the dancing, not to have...

Tacos are delicious. Came here on Tuesday and that taco was hitting. The drinks were great but the service was not it. Our girl came twice wasn’t friendly. On a good night me and my girls droop money. We are servers and know how hard and how underpaid that job is and unfortunately because our waitress lacked the attention we weren’t able to drink the way we do. When the check came we were over charged for two different types of drinks. When we talked to the manager they told us that the prices change after a certain time but no where in the menu did it state that. Everywhere else there is a change in the prices and I get it it’s business and it wasn’t about the money but more of the advertising. My girls and I were trying to make it our spot but unfortunately that won’t be a thing. Take out yes. Dine in probably never again. Until they get better staff and update their Menus accordingly I don’t recommend you dine in. Take it home and...

The young lady as the bartender was the saving grace. When I first walked in, there was no sign asking people to wait or sit or a hostess stand, nothing. The two waitress standing at the bar never even turned around. Finally the bartender signaled me to sit down anywhere I wanted The bartender also came around and served and waited on me. The restaurant was not at all busy with only 4 tables at all with people at them. Later 3 other employees with their name are the restaurant on their shirts sat at the table and drank. I asked the bartender for a daiquiri. She did not know how to make one but I showed her online and she did a very good job for her 1st one. The food was good. The beans were a little runny but other than that, pretty good food. Waitstaff stayed at the bar the entire time helping some tables here and there. Mostly they sat at the bar and ate or drank. Visually not the best look for...
