Taqueria - Warren Park

Its crazy how many times I felt like I've seen this same menu lol. So its like the matrix has a glitch when I try a new Mexican restaurant. This is not the same El Maguey that I'm used to and I'm not sure if they have any affiliation. But this one was better than my usual one. The Texas chimichanga was so big and delicious. It had steak, chicken, and shrimp in it. I may have gotten a full 7 bites in. The rest had to come home in a to go box. My girlfriend ordered the Mar y tierra. She loved it. Neither one of us had Spanish rice that good in a long time. We could barely eat our food for loving on the rice. The service was pretty good despite the language barrier. There was someone interpreting back to our waitress. And she continued to check on us and make sure our drinks were filled through out the night. From what I heard the patrons weren't speaking English either. Music was going and there was a Spanish version of family feud that I honestly couldn't turn away from. We were the center of attention for the first few moments unintentionally. But after a while the hard stares stopped. Overall the food was SOOO fresh. Fast. Seasoned. Spot on. This clearly the superior El Maguey lol

Tacos didn't have any flavor. Their homemade taco shells were not my cup of tea. Prices on Yelp were not correct.

Authentic Mexican food, have been coming for several years. It is always a lively place. However, I cannot comment on any dishes other than the Tres Marias enchiladas... están riquísimasss. I believe they hand make the tortillas here and have a pretty good selection of aguas frescas along with bottled and fountain drinks.

Update 9/29/21: I have tacos cabeza and they were perfect! The tortillas are authentically hand made white corn maiz Blanca. My girlfriend had the caldo de res. She said it was absolutely delicious !

I had heard of this place but just got a chance to try this out for myself. The menu was non stop full of deliciousness. Started off with the taco's beef and spicy pork that were fantastic. Didn't leave me much room for the empanadas but my daughter loved them and I did enjoy a bite or two. Highly recommended
