Editorial Review for El Maguey – by Christy Buena
In Short
Authentic food and affordable prices draw locals into the no frills, hole in the wall eatery that serves home style meals without the Mexican decorations. Offering a large selection of burritos, the family-friendly eatery features daily lunch specials for $4.75 including 11 combination platters. Notable menu items include the burrito fajita with your choice of chicken or beef for $6.75 and the burritos supremos consists of one chicken burrito and beef burrito combined topped with lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream for $7.25. The margaritas and traditional dishes keep locals coming back.

I have been going to El Maguey since I was a baby.. starting out at the one in Columbia, MO and now various ones in St. Louis, especially the Chippewa one. My family and I have always loved it. Their food is great, and we've never had bad service. They have larger portions and are very fast. Even in large groups, we've never had to wait more than 20 minutes. Which is considerablly less then anywhere else we have tried to eat. Their prices are also very reasonable. My mom and I can go for lunch OR dinner (with sodas, tax, and tip included) and spend no more than $20-25. I recommend it if you enjoy good food, nice people, and a fun enviorment.
Pros: Food, Price, Service
Cons: Small

I thought this place was gross. I grew in up in a small town where "hole in the wall" type places is mostly what you get. But this place was just dirty. And beyond run down. Although the food wasn't horrible, I was almost too disgusted to eat. And I'm not a clean freak. The table was clean, but food bits and pieces littered the floors, our booth was from 1970 and looked like it hadn't been cleaned since then. Maybe its a local spot some enjoy but I don't think I can stomach to go back!
Pros: you get what you pay for
Cons: dirty!
