El Maguey Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Sappington

Met family for early dinner and drinks here one night.

Chips and salsa are provided for the table. The chips were always hot and fresh and amazing! The salsa was good but not my favorite - it has like a tomato sauce texture/taste. Hubby ordered guac to go with the chips and it was good. The texture was amazing - very creamy and it had a nice kick that I liked.

For my meal I ordered shrimp nachos - they were so generous with the queso and shrimp!!! WIN! Hubby ordered a fajita mix and added chorizo. He also requested corn tortillas. Those could be better if they were toasted... they were a bit pale and chewy.

After watching multiple fried ice creams go by I decided I couldn't do without. I am currently eating gluten free and inquired the ingredients. Happy to say it is made with corn flakes and they were able to make it without the flour tortilla bowl to accommodate my request. They also added whipped cream per my request and it was phenomenal!

Family had quite a few drinks and we ended up spending a couple hours here. The service was amazing and they stayed on top of my water refills even though I wasn't ordering other drinks. The staff seemed to know a lot of the regular customers - it was a very...

I used to eat here at least once a week and have never had a bad experience until today. I placed a order for pickup, upon arrival I was greeted by one of the male waiters that asked for the name on my order. I gave him my name he took a look at an order that was sitting on the shelf behind him (my order) and said I'll go check on your order. 10 minutes pass by I'm waiting at the counter with no update. When I turn around the same waiter that is supposedly "checking on my order" was in the corner talking to another worker. Finally a nice woman who works there walks up and asks me what the name on my order is, and hands me the food that's now been sitting on the shelf for god know how long. She was very apologetic and nice about everything. But things only got worse when I got home and tried to eat the rice dishes we ordered (4). The rice is spoiled to the point it made me gag. The food was so bad that we had to toss the entire order. That's $60 worth of food in the trash. MY DOG REFUSED TO EAT IT... AND HE EATS...

I ordered a specialty fajita. Steak, chicken, shrimp, and bacon with cheese and jalapeños. Sounded delicious.

Menu stated that the fajitas did come with vegetables in it as well. I was thinking this one may not since it stated the cheese and jalapeños instead, but didn't care either way.

When the order came out, it had onions, no big deal. Until I started eating, the whole thing tasted like pure onion. I started picking them out. Over half the dish, not exaggerating, was onion. My friend was joking that they put an entire onion in my food. For reference, her dish didn't have any, so she took some I picked out. Then complained she put too much in her food (she picked back out)... she didn't put a fourth of them in!

I was fine with a few, but to have over half the food be onions and then, due to so many and being cooked with them, the entire thing tasting like only onion.. was very disappointing! There also wasn't any other vegetables, except the few jalapeños. Just tons and tons of...
