I have been coming here for years. One of the best burritos in the Bay Area. Super fresh and good portion sizes. The BEST salsa bar too. Dont forget to grab a cream filled churro.

Kindest family-owned business with excellent reasonably priced Mexican food. We’ve been coming here for 15 years and my kids are raised on their food. Unlike many places that up charge for chips and salsa, they have kept the salsa bar free — it’s so good that I would pay. I think there’s now 8 salsas with plenty of fresh radish, lime, and jalapeño. We never go anywhere else. Favorites: kids pollo asado plate, tacos/burritos, and chicken nachos. Excellent beans and rice and lovely trays for catering, too.

Amazing little taquería with authentic flavors. The tacos were fresh, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. The tortillas tasted homemade, and the salsas had the perfect❤️❤️❤️ kick. Service was friendly and fast, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when craving real tacos ❤️❤️❤️

At this Mexican spot, the food’s just okay,
The torta’s decent, but won’t blow you away,
The tacos, alas, are a different story,
Their tortillas are big, which dampens the glory.
The flavors aren’t bad, but nothing stands out,
And the service is average, without any clout,
But if you’re in the area and need a quick bite,
This place might suffice, though it’s not quite right.
The atmosphere’s pleasant, with a cozy vibe,
But the tacos are a miss, which I can’t abide,
And though the torta’s tasty, it’s not worth a trip,
Overall, this place doesn’t quite hit the hip.
So if you’re in the mood for Mexican fare,
There are better options out there, if you dare,
But if you find yourself in this spot by chance,
Order the torta, and give the tacos a pass.

The fish tacos and ceviche were great! Nice, cozy atmosphere and not too busy as well.

Fantastic authentic Mexican food. The chicken tacos are a solid and reliable choice. The salsa bar with unlimited tortilla chips is a great addition with an ample selection of salsas (including mango, my personal favorite).

Not sure why it took me this long to visit El Maguey. But the moment I walked in I was greeted by the friendly staff. The place is very inexpensive and the food is amazing. This is authentic Mexican food. I ordered some tacos and they were delicious, my wife ordered the shrimp fajitas and they were amazing. She couldn’t finish the whole plate. Also they have different variety of salsas and every single tasted amazing. This is a great place to get Mexican food around San carlos, and belmont. The only downside is the limited space to dine in. And the parking lot situation. But if you want great tacos, this is the place to go!

Excellent food. Very tasty, well priced. The place is a bit outdated. Good service.
Hands down the best burritos on the peninsula.

Super burrito and quesadilla (pollo asado) are both equally delicious! If I’m too lazy to bring a lunch for work, it’s my go-to. And every time the food is just as tasty as the last. Really friendly and fast service too. I love it.

Super burrito was great, filling, and only like 10 bucks. The contents got a little soggy and not as flavorful as I hoped but still satisfying af. Nothing a bunch of salsa can’t fix though! It’s really nice that chips and salsa are free. Overall, quick, cheap, filling, and tasty. It’s nice to grab it to go and then have a 1 minute walk over to the park next over to eat it outside.
