Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Reviewed 23 April 2023 via mobile

Went in on Saturday around 12;00 noon was seated quickly and server was quick for drinks and chips/salsa. Everything was ok except the tortillas, they looked like white corn and had texture like corn and ripped / split when you rolled them up to make...fajitas. Server said they were floor but sure didn’t look/feel like any I’ve ate before. The cheese sauce with chorizo was good but my fajitas we’re lacking, others said their meal was good. Nice parking lot and restaurant was clean.More

First time back in a year. Always a dependable place to eat in Sand Springs. Clean, well kept, good service and food. Today we stopped in for a late lunch around 2:15. Greeted and shown to a booth. Not crowded at all. Server was Jorge,...who was attentive, pleasant and anticipated when refills were needed. We each ordered the Lunch Avocado Chicken Enchilada ($8.35) which came with rice and beans. We both ended up with refried beans because I forgot to ask for Charro beans. Complimentary chips and individual salsa was provided. The salsa had a little kick to it (very good). The Chicken Enchilada was loaded with chicken, so much so it was kinda hard to cut with your fork. She had iced tea ($2.25) and I had a draft Dos Equis Amber beer ($5.99). Sanitizer was available at the host stand. No staff wore masks. We were the only customers who had masks. I conversed with Jorge a little in Spanish. He was very pleasant. Sand Springs as some other good Mexican restaurants (El Patron, Mi Pueblo) but El Maguey is our favorite.More

Hard to believe it's been over 3 years since my last review, in part because there are two other very good Mexican restaurants in Sand Springs: El Patron and Mi Pueblo. We usually eat out in Tulsa. Today we got to El Maguey about 2pm...and as expected it wasn't crowded at all. Immediately greeted at the door and shown to the first booth in the hallway right in front of the door. The booth next to it was being used by staff who were conversing amongst themselves and preparing what looked like take-out sacks. We were quickly brought chips and a nice spicy salsa but no napkins. 7 or 8 minutes later our waiter brought out some napkins and individual forks in a paper bag. I got a Dos Equis Amber draft ($5.49) and my wife got Dr. Pepper ($2.25). We both ordered a lunch special (served until 3pm), Lunch Avocado Chicken Enchilada with rice and charro beans ($8.10 apiece). It came out quickly. Staff were all wearing masks and it appeared very clean. They gave us menus, but the menu can also be scanned from each table's QRC code. My wife's Dr. Pepper ran out and I had to put my mask on and track down our waiter for a refill. He was very pleasant but a little inattentive. The meal, including tax came to $26.08 ($23.94 before tax). I tipped him $10. All in all it was a pleasant meal.More

My son and I dined at El Maguey last night. We have been there before, but usually take the food to-go and eat at home. It is a converted Burger King, so they have a drive-thru for call in order pick-up. They close at 9:30...p.m. on weekends, and we got there about 9 p.m. The restaurant was still busy with most tables occupied. We we sat at a booth and our drink order was taken. Chips & salsa were brought with our drinks. Their house-made salsa is very good. Just the right amount of spice. I had the Quesadilla Loca. It is massive. Steak, Chicken, Shrimp, Bacon. It is really delicious. My son had the 4 Cheese enchiladas and 2 soft tacos. We often get the street tacos to take home. Everything we have had has been really good. Prices are moderate. Good service & friendly atmosphere.More

Have eaten here many times since they opened in Sand Springs quite a few years ago, and they moved to their current location about 2 years ago. (?) Casual with booths and tables. Outside seating patio area available. Clean bathrooms. Bright decor & pleasing to...the eye. Quick service, friendly faces. They can usually accomodate larger families with little problem. The place can get noisy but it's a happy kind of noisy. Bar area with big screen TVS which usually have some type of a sport on. Great margaritas. Good food, chips and salsa are included, plus their guacamole is always great! I love their chicken tortilla soup, it has such a fresh taste! Many of their other dishes are good too, along with some kid plates and American dishes, lots to choose from so everyone can get something they will like. Give them a try, i think you will enjoy it!More
