What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
El Maguey Mexican Restaurant receives praise for its generous portions, particularly the large and tasty burritos, and creative dishes with unique presentations. Diners also appreciate the good margaritas and friendly service. However, some find the food bland, portions overpriced, or have experienced order inaccuracies.
"Stopped in on our way back to Nashville from Louisville. The food was much better than average, and the service was good. Restaurant was clean with a well done, although typical, Mexican restaurant atmosphere. Would eat here again if ever in the area again. Huge (and tasty) burritos."
Russell Church
"Food is fresh and always delicious. The presentation is the best compared to other Mexican food restaurants. Good Top Shelf margaritas. Good place for kids, too. They treat our three kids wonderfully when we go. We've had great service from all the servers, and the owner is a cool guy to talk with, too."

"I really enjoyed the atmosphere, customer service, and creative dishes. I ordered the Maguey Burrito 🌯 which is a 12” burrito filled with rice, beans, guacamole 🥑, sour cream, pico de gallo, with ground beef or shredded chicken. I did the grilled chicken upgrade for $2 topped with cilantro, queso, red and green sauce. I look forward to trying other dishes 👍 but I’m still on a quest to find sopes in Kentucky. So far, this is strike 2 for sopes."
