    Christmas morning, my mom, my daughter, and I decided to try brunch at Casa Maguey, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in, the festive atmosphere and warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The highlight for us was their bottomless mimosas! Not only could you choose from classic orange, but they also offered sangria as an alternative, which was a unique and delicious twist. The drinks flowed freely and added a celebratory touch to our meal. The Mexican buffet was nothing short of amazing. The spread was full of authentic dishes that tasted homemade. From tamales to pozole, everything was flavorful and satisfying. They even had dessert options that left us tempted for seconds! The staff was attentive, keeping our glasses full and the buffet refreshed, even though it was a busy holiday morning. Overall, Casa Maguey provided a perfect blend of delicious food, great drinks, and warm ambiance. It was a memorable Christmas brunch for the three of us, and we’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend!

    It was our first time, and we enjoyed our experience. We tried the nachos, which were great, loaded with cheese and toppings, as well as a 3-item combo (2 cheese enchiladas and 1 potato taco). The enchiladas and rice were great; the potato filling in the taco and the beans were slightly under seasoned. Service was prompt and attentive (we went on a Saturday, at 5:30). Ambience is nice and we would return again.

    Great experience overall! We came on a Sunday for brunch and there was a live band playing for the entire time we were there. The ambiance was fun. Foods were amazing and service was excellent. Its just that the band was playing so it’s pretty loud and hard to actually talk to each other. But of course if you come to enjoy the band, you will definitely have a good time

    The food was amazing. Rib eye enchiladas were so good! The rib eye melts in your mouth and it's full of flavor with that chimichurri. It was my wife's first time and she loved it! I definitely will be back for more date nights.

    They were kind enough to put out chips instead of chicharones. The enchilada suiza was really yummy, and the margaritas were delicious too!
