Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

If you Like Mexican food that is middle of the road, not at all daring and definitely predictable, El Maguey will probably fit you to a tee. But if you LOVE Mexican food -- please don't expect to be dazzled at El Maguey. We have, over a period of a few years, been to the location on Noland Road 2 or 3 times with different friends who raved about the food and told us what they loved best. Hubby and I would try their suggestions when we ordered but mostly enjoyed the company we were with and privately thought the food was run-of-the-mill and a step above eating at Taco Bell. We each ordered slightly different combo plates but found out from tasting each others' selections that everything at El Maguey tastes pretty much the same as every other thing, no matter what it is! The sauce they use is okay but over powers any true differences in individual dishes. And many things are also smothered in too much cheese for my taste. So, for my taste buds sake, we've sworn off El Maguey and have not been back. I prefer to spend my time and my dollars at some of the other very good to down-right-exciting Mexican food places here in the K. C. area.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican, this is the place for it! Very tasty, flavorful food and good service. I had the Burrito Mexicana,, stuffed with shredded pork. The meat was flavorful, moist, and tender. The sauce on the top was very unique, and was a cross between picante sauce, and wing sauce. Very good! My husband had the Steak Tampiqueno, and it was very tender. It did come with a large portion of cooked onions on top, so you might have them hold the onions a bit. Otherwise, the value for the quality and service is excellent. We just moved to the area from TX, and had yet to find a good Mexican place to eat. I think this is our new favorite!

I'm going to go ahead and throw all my foodie cred out the window for a minute and admit to the guilty, guilty pleasure that is El Maguey. The origins of this massive chain are kind of mysterious; there are El Maguey restaurants with identical menus all over the midwest and southeast, and I've encountered several restaurants with different names, yet with identical menus and food all over the country. If ordering a "number eleven" gets you one taco, one burrito, and one enchilada--chances are you're either at El Maguey or one of the innumerable El Maguey Clones. That said, it's good stuff. Bland? Well, sure. This is an exotic Mexican adventure for that peculiar kind of suburban white people who think Wonder bread is a little on the spicy side. In other words, my parents. And that's totally ok with me, because for whatever reason, the lightly seasoned ground beef burrito is transformed into a totally awful/awesome hot mess by replacing the default red sauce with El Maguey's processed white cheese sauce. I like to call it jalapeño Velveeta. Yeah, pretty much everyone has it now, but back in the day I didn't know of anywhere else to get it. You could have poured it on just about anything and I'd have eaten it. S'truth. Granted, these days I'm more interested in huitlacoche than jalapeño Velveeta, and El Maguey's gringo-Mex food may not be the most flavorful or interesting. What it is, though, is one part nostalgia and one part good, old-fashioned comfort food.

great food, (chicken tacos and fried ice cream was delish!) good service, especially on a friday night (place was almost full). the Noland spot needs to expand a bit for more seating, since its one of the few decent mexican places in this area of Independence.

There are only 3 restaurants I crave from Kansas City now that I'm gone and El Maguey Mexican Restaurant is one of them! I absolutely love their Burrito Mexicano and their white cheese sauce and chips. Don't forget the cheese sauce, it's awesome!!! This is a great, quick, inexpensive place to eat. It's real Mexican and I know that can be intimidating to some but, the people are nice, it's clean and spacious and you can't get better Mexican food in the KC area! LoL Their portions are big and I usually have left-overs. Sometimes though, it's so good, I just keep eating until I'm grossly stuffed. LoL... not recommended. Next time I'm in KC, I'll see ya there!

This is a dumpy, hole-in-the-wall restaurant with awesome food! You can always find great coupons in KC Valumail or in the Entertainment coupon book. Their chips are wonderfully light, warm and delicious. Their salsa is just right. I like their combination platters, but they also do great shrimp dishes. The tamales are pretty tasty too. Not all El Magueys are created equal. The EM on Valley View Parkway by Costco is sooo gross (I've tried it several times and each time was a disappointment). The one in Raytown is actually surprisingly good! I love getting Burrito Jalisco there because they do an awesome job on the pork.

I eaten at this location many time, but recently the food has gotten better and the chips are always fresh. Great authentic Mexican food!

I've ate Mexican all over Texas, New Mexico, Colorado , and Southern California as well as the Midwest. The El Maguey on Noland Road is as good of a working class Tex Mex place as I've found. It aint pretty, but it is cheap and the food is plentiful. It is well seasoned (hotter if you ask for it), and fresh. The crowd tends to be blue class with several Spanish speakers on hand most evenings and lunch hours. If you like decor and high prices, skip this joint. Good food cheap, in a neighborhood restaurant is this place's specialty.
