El Maguey Mexican Grill & Cantina

I see that the cartel that operates the El Maguey restaurants has expanded its territory, with the opening of a new restaurant in Bixby. El Maguey Prime is the name for that location. Their online menu looks flashy and fancy. Enticing! I have been to the Claremore restaurant twice. That location goes by the name of just, El Maguey Mexican Food. Slightly different menu than Bixby and Bartlesville. Simpler. The food and service is good, and I recommend it. Check that review. What about El Maguey Mexican Grill and Cantina in Bartlesville. I have driven by the pinkish orange building on highway 75 many, many times purposely ignoring it; my car navigation destination locked in on chips and salsas elsewhere. Today, it is the destination. Ok, so you already know what color the outside of the b

It was OK. We were excited to see an el maguey in town because we love the one in claremore. I had a tamale, chicken taco, and beef enchilada with rice and steamed veggies. I wanted to try a variety to compare and it just wasn't the same. The tamale was very very dry but the flavor was decent, the chicken taco on the other hand was so juicy that my shell was falling apart, and the enchilada was just your average Mexican restaurant enchilada. Our server was nice enough but did not check on us but one time which I thought was weird because she checked on the other 2 tables frequently. The inside of the restaurant was really pretty actually, I loved the large light fixture in the dining area, it was giving sophisticated and fun. Pricing was pretty average, I can't remember what my fiancé got

Amazing food and wonderful service!

We lived here four years ago and ate here and we loved it then… coming home we were blown away when we came back! Their new cook and the food presentation is incredible! This time we got the Fajitas El Maguey and they were literally bursting with flavor! Every bite was delectable! The time before this, we got tacos and they were just as amazing! Customer service was impeccable both times and we absolutely love the ambience. Whatever you are doing…. Whoever is working in your kitchen…. KEEP THEM, APPRECIATE THEM, and KEEP DOING IT! I am a Culinarian and I can’t tell you enough how refreshing it is to come home to such amazing Mexican Cuisine! We have traveled to many states and OK has some of the best and you are definitely among my top 3 choices!

It's not the best Mexican food ever, but the service was great. Food served fresh and hot. Tortillas appear to be store bought. That's not good. Only homemade flour tortillas for me. They serve Mexican beer with a dressed frozen mug. Outstanding! Queso is on point. Salsa is just okay. While I like the look of this place and service was sufficient, I doubt I'll be back...well, I might come back to drink the Mexican beers!
