Authentic Mexican Flavors That Stand Out

El Maguey is committed to bringing the true taste of Mexico to the heart of Saint Joseph. The restaurant’s extensive menu is designed to cater to a variety of tastes, from savory appetizers to hearty main courses. The standout dishes, like Chips & Salsa, Enchiladas Especiales, and Fajitas, are crafted with high-quality ingredients and traditional recipes that transport you straight to Mexico with every bite.

Chips & Salsa: The Perfect Start

No Mexican meal is complete without a serving of crispy Chips & Salsa, and El Maguey delivers on this classic. The homemade salsa is fresh, tangy, and full of flavor, paired with warm tortilla chips that are crunchy and light. This appetizer is a crowd favorite and a great way to start your meal while you sip on a refreshing margarita or cold beer.

Enchiladas Especiales: A Mexican Favorite

One of the signature dishes at El Maguey is the Enchiladas Especiales. These enchiladas are made with soft corn tortillas, filled with your choice of tender meats like chicken, beef, or pork, then smothered in a rich, flavorful sauce. Each bite offers the perfect balance of savory and spicy, creating a truly satisfying dish. Whether you're in the mood for a comforting meal or something packed with bold flavors, these enchiladas won't disappoint.

Fajitas: Sizzling Perfection

For those who love sizzling, flavorful dishes, Fajitas are an absolute must-try at El Maguey. The fajitas are served hot on a sizzling skillet, bringing together a colorful mix of peppers, onions, and your choice of protein, such as Fajitas Chicken, Fajitas Steak, or Fajitas El Maguey. Each serving is complemented by a side of rice, beans, and tortillas, allowing you to wrap the ingredients and savor the combination of textures and flavors.

El Maguey takes its fajitas to the next level with a variety of unique offerings. From the classic Fajitas Rancheras to the bold Fajitas Hawaii, there’s a version to suit every palate. You can enjoy Fajitas Chicken or Steak in either a 1-serving or 2-serving portion, making it a great choice for both solo diners and groups.

Fajitas Rancheras & Verdes: Bold and Flavorful

For those who appreciate bold flavors, the Fajitas Rancheras (available in both 1 and 2 servings) is a dish you won’t want to miss. This version features a rich, spicy ranchera sauce that adds depth and complexity to the fajitas. If you’re looking for a milder option, the Fajitas Verdes might be just what you need. This dish features a green sauce that is tangy yet slightly sweet, providing a different take on the traditional fajita.

Fajitas San Jose & Fajitas Hawaii: A Tropical Twist

If you’re in the mood for something a little more unique, the Fajitas San Jose and Fajitas Hawaii are fantastic choices. The Fajitas Hawaii combines the smoky flavor of grilled meat with the sweetness of pineapple, creating a delicious contrast that is both savory and tropical. Meanwhile, the Fajitas San Jose offers a more traditional fajita experience, with a savory and slightly spicy sauce that pairs perfectly with the tender meat.

A Welcoming Atmosphere for All

At El Maguey, it’s not just about the food – it’s about creating an unforgettable dining experience. The restaurant’s vibrant decor, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere make it a great place for families, friends, or even a casual night out.
