As far as my experience with Mexican food goes I've always had real home cooked Mexican food that co workers have given me.
El Maguey is a cozy space, but comfortable. You're seat isn't smushed up against the person behind you. The service is friendly and helpful. And the food is awesome. I ordered the Adobo Rojo. The waitress gave me a look like I was crazy, and then she warned me that it's a very hot dish and offerred to let me taste the sauce before ordering. I actually found it to be pretty mild, but then again I like eating whole jalapenos as a snack. The pork was nice, very tender, a little fatty but I just trimmed it off. The rice, beans and tortilla were great. The flan is out of this world. And I loved that they had the large glass bottles of pepsi.
Pros: Great Food, Inexpensive, Comfy atmosphere
