Taqueria Los Magueyes

I was here on a Friday evening, the wait was about 30 mins. but didnt seem long. The food portions are huge. The food was pretty good too. I had the red snapper which was very good. The place is a little smoky from the grill and makes you smell like a grill when you leave. The drinks are fantastic! I enjoyed this place minus smoky atmosphere.

Luv this place… my coworkers & I have been here a few times after work! Delicious food. great drinks & great service. Adding this place to my fav’s list!

Long wait time on Sunday evening for obvious reasons. Expect 45 – 1 hr wait time on busy times, which usually would be weekends. They are known as the Michelada Place, they have all sorts and all flavors. Specialty Mariscos are plenty as well. I ordered the typical Camarones a la Diabla. The hot sauce, is hot (habanero hot) but it is very good. My parents ordered Tampiqueña, style skirt steak which was grilled over carbon as well the tortillas. Everything was delicious and reasonably place. I want to come back here to try the rest of the seafood options.

No flavor it all and they did not give me silverware a PLASTIC FORK !!! not going back

I loved their Micheladas!!! Is so worth the drive! I’m a Cali girl and me coming from all the way over to try this was so worth it!

I just had dinner at this place I thought that I would be safe to order breaded shrimp it’s simple but I was wrong my shrimp was over cooked, my rice had no flavor and was mushy, no good! The service wasn’t any better

Worth the wait!!! Food was great & staff so attentive. Luis & Jose have got to be the best bus boys. Gentlemen & positive energy with a full house. Can’t wait to come back!

This place has really gone downhill.
My husband and I had gone to this restaurant a few times and were VERY SATISFIED so when the craving of seafood came back, so did we. As expected we waited about 30 minutes for a table and got a text when a seat was ready.
Once we sat down, the waiter was expecting us to know exactly what we wanted before we even opened our menus and was rushing us to make a decision. My husband and I got our food and had to wait an additional 10 minutes for an order of NACHOS for my son, which the waiter forgot about… Our food was slightly cold, but we ate it anyway, the nachos that took about half hour turned out to be tortilla chips with shredded cheese MICROWAVED with a steaming hot plate that my son ended up burning his fingers
I’m really upset how horrible this place has gotten and unfortunately will not be returning.

We had the half tray of langostinos and a taco. We each had a michelada and while I was drinking mine and I felt something hard in my drink so I spat it out and it was a piece of glass. I had to go to the waitresses to tell them because they just kept walking by while I was trying to flag one of them down. And she just took it and said thanks and then another one came to the table and asked if I wanted another and said no thanks but not to charge me for that one. When my husband went to pay, they only gave him his copy of the paid bill but it didn’t say what they charged us for. So I’m pretty sure we won’t be returning to this restaurant.

Los magueyes is a great spot for mariscos, as far as the drink sections goes it’s out of this world! You must try the shrimp cocktail with beer bottles in them!!!

This place was an excellent find. Everyone is friendly, the food is absolutely delicious & authentic. Fresh ingredients. The marinade used to season the meats are all exquisite & kudos to them using a char broiler for steak dishes. It didn’t go unnoticed. I loved it

Great seafood
Takes a bit longer but worth the wait.
Hard to find a table
Loud music. I felt very comfortable taking over music like everyone :).
I would definitely come back here

After watching our beloved Chicago Fire WHOMP Seattle… we were ravenous and happened upon this joint right across from Toyota Park. We were expecting a ton of soccer fan traffic but… this place was already packed to the gills and still on a 20 minute wait at 10 at night. Basically, we had the post game munchies and waited for a table. This place was rocking. Crazy drinks here and there… platters of craw daddies and tacos galore. For our «snack» the 4 of us ordered a round of drinks, an order of guacamole, a steak taco meal and a plato of the langostinos. WOW!!! We ate everything! Licking fingers, even as we walked out the door. Even now…4 hours later, I am craving the flavor of the langostines with the red onion and the delightful sauce they were smothered in.
The service was not great.
We attempted to get our server’s attention a few times and she was on her cell phone behind a bar like area. A busboy of sorts gave us better service throughout the meal.
The food was really very good. The service could improve. We will definitely go here again for the food and hope to have a different experience than the one we had tonight. We realize that we arrived right before they were closing (at 10:15 when they close at midnight), but the restrooms were disgusting… and the dining room floors were so so bad… you literally had to skate across them to get out of the place. It was filthy dirty. With drinks and our snack and purchasing a mix tape CD from an in house peddler, and the extra $ 5 we had to tip a busboy to bribe him for a small cup of their salsa to-​go (their salsa is amazing)…it was about $ 75!!!
A very extravagant snack but wonderful food. We are always excited to try new things :)

Had a large shrimp cocktail, served with lines and tostadas. I also asked for a side of Mexican rice. The Cocktail was flavorful and full of shrimp. Had a bit of a kick to it which I enjoyed. The large was the perfect size for me along with the rice.

WHERE SHOULD START AFTER AN HOUR WAIT Worst place to eat mexican seafood… Ordered a shrimp cocktail it tasted like the same mixture the micheladas were made of… Also ordered a michelada worst I’ve ever tasted it was like it was made wit celery tomatoe juice. Rather go to Islas Maria’s…
ALLL I COULD SAY LOOKS ARE DECEIVING NEVER AGAIN…

Let me start this review by saying-​I will not return to this restaurant.
My friend and I went on a Sunday night and it was packed. I thought-​okay that’s usually a good sign. We put our names down and was told 20 minutes or so. Not a problem-​we can chit chat for 20 minutes… well after you wait 20 minutes you think, «well I already waited 20 minutes. I can wait another 10 or so».that turned into a little over a hour to sit us and that was AFTER we complained to the guy at the front that he seated a couple that came after us-​his explanation didn’t make any sense at all.
Between watching what seems to look like delicious drinks (that we couldn’t drink until we were seated), the 2 female waitress’ talking to the cashier and the bus boys arguing with the male waiters in the dining area-​i was really ready to walk out-​but I mean I waited an hour already!
So we finally sit down and seriously the waitress really didn’t want to bother with us and we were so nice to her! LOL-​we order piña coladas and it took her about 20 minutes to give them to us after I saw them waiting for us (lol) by the counter. Actually, she only brought them to us because my friend asked her, «what about our drinks?» Seriously-​I never had such poor service.
We ordered guacamole-​it was okay but it was really only smashed avocados with a few tomatoes. I had Carne a la Tampiqueña that came with rice, beans more guacamole, and a cheese enchilada. I was good. But I have had way better and the meat was tender but it also had a lot of fat all around it. Not something I wanted to even look at!
Btw the drinks were $ 11.50 each! Honey, relax-you’re not a downtown restaurant to charge such high prices!

Came here due to family and friends constantly talking about this place we figured we would take my mother in law here for her birthday. it wasn’t worth the 1 hour wait. Prices are way over priced waiter took the wrong order. The bill came out to $ 500 not worth it. I had better seafood in the city at a better price
beware

My friend knows I love seafood so she sent me a text of their menu while I was at work. The food is well above three stars. However, the service is horrible and you may waste a trip coming here if you think you know their restaurant hours.
My friends and I arrive and we ordered our food. I had a craving for the pasta with shrimp, octopus, and scallops. My other friend ordered clams and langostinos. The pasta definitely filled me up. As we ordered our food, my friends tried their sangria and I just had water. My friends received their drinks and I patiently sat there waiting for my water. While we were eating, we noticed that the staff started putting chairs on top of the tables. We didn’t think anything of it. I’m about 15 minutes into my food and I still have not received the water that I asked for so a busboy had to give me my water. Our waitress clearly was not attentive.
Before we even arrived at the restaurant I asked my friend what time it closes on a Sunday. She looked on their website and it said 2am. Back to our negligent waitress. You would assume that the staff would notify you that the restaurant will close about 30 minutes to an hour as soon as you were seated. With that being said, we arrived at the restaurant about thirty minutes before it closed. I looked on Unilocal and the hours posted also said something different. It says the restaurant closes at 12am. In addition, the waitress did not tell us what time last call for the bar was. The table right next to us was able to get a last minute drink and of course we didn’t.
I’m a very respectable customer and I’m very understanding, but this is ludicrous. Please update your operation hours and maybe your staff.

Honest review: ok the food is not that good nothing special. Better mexican food in chicago ok i been here a couple of times one time i came n there was nobody here we ordered our food n we waited for more then an hour n we got up to see what was going on n the waiter forgot so we just left

I never used to believe in the bad ratings of Unilocalers, but this time they were right. This is one of the worst tasteless Mexican food. The music was too loud.
The Michelada was missing calmado, tajin and lime.
Our waiter was nice.
Las micheladas les faltaba Calamaro, Tajín y limón.
Nunca me había dejado llevar por los malos ratings de los Unilocalers pero ahora veo que tienen razón uno de los peores lugares para comer.
Aparte la música esta súper alto en volumen.
Nuestro mesero buen chico.
