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.

This restaurant used to be Los Tres Amigos, but went through a complete redo around April of 2012. I used to eat there when it was Los Tres, but the food went downhill and I found the other Mexican restaurant across the street to be better and more authentic. The employees at El Maguey were there from when it was Los Tres and I believe the same owner as well. They have always been very nice. So at the moment, the food is better and the atmosphere is much better. The bar is excellent and they have TVs so you can watch the game or whatever. I consider much of the food to be Amerexican, but I have to remember that this is Mississippi... I believe most people will find the food to be good to excellent depending how big of a Mexican snob you are. They have customized many dishes for me so I believe they can make it as authentic as you want. Like most ethnic restaurants in MS, they probably have to cater to a large crowd of taco bell and TV dinner eaters. I seem to get the same server every time I go and he is excellent and friendly. My recommendation is to give it a try. It is probably the nicest atmosphere and decor in the area in Mexican restaurants. The friendly people and cold beer in El Maguey win me over and keep me coming back.

Stopped here on the way to Gulfport. The food was delicious!! I had a chicken enchilada and a beef enchilada with rice and beans. The enchiladas were covered with a light cheese sauce and a savory chili sauce! It was so good that I considered stopping in on the way back as well! I will have to make the trip back from New Orleans one day!

Always great food and service. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant to go to in Hancock county. Fresh food and fast service.

El Maguey (pronounced by me: MAA GOO EEEE) , formerly Los Tres Amigos, is one of my go-to eateries here in Bay St. Louis. They offer quality Mexican dishes and at a VERY reasonable price. It would not be unusual for two to dine in for dinner, both with generous servings, for less than $25. My favorite dish is the macho quesadilla and I like to wash it down with their very tasty margaritas! BOTTOM LINE: El Maguey es muy bueno.

Terrible! Service was super slow. They were out of salsa (how is that possible in a Mexican restaurant?). When I did get my food after 45 minutes, my steak was burnt to a crisp. When I complained, the manager generously offered me 10% off my bill. I am not a complainer and you can look on here to see all of my positive reviews but...Avoid at all costs...

When El Maguey first opened, we were floored with how great the food and service was. We were eating here at least twice weekly, often more. Then it slowly started going downhill. Both food and service were sub par, and their clientele dwindled. We finally joined the crowd that was staying away. Fast forward a year or so, and we decided it was time to try it again. We had noticed there were more and more cars there for lunch and dinner. WOW! What a change! Management has stepped up and really turned this place around. While not quite back to their opening greatness, they are close and headed in the right direction. Service is wonderful, very cheerful and attentive (take THAT, La Chula). The food is very fresh, served hot, and good portions. The salsa is freshly made, nicely chunky, and full of fresh cilantro. The choriqueso dip is huge, easily enough for four people. The owner is posting regularly on Facebook, and touting how great his restaurant is. I agree, and am happy to see them promoting it again. This is easily the best Mexican restaurant along this portion of the Gulf coast. I just hope they can maintain it at this level, and even ramp up the food to what it was at opening. Especially, the Poblanos Rellenos. The version they cooked when they first opened were the best I had ever had, very large poblano peppers stuffed with chicken, beef, shrimp or any combination. Then topped with a scrumptious cheese dip. The ones served now are still very good, though much smaller and far less stuffing. In any case, this is a very, very good restaurant. Clean and pleasant, live music on Friday night. Just a wonderful place to relax and have a good meal. We are sooo happy to see that they have come back to life! Thank you, Mr. Owner and staff!

I had not ate at this place since it was Los Tres until recently for lunch. I was impressed by the attentive service and fresh food. My husband ordered the half order of nachos and it was enough for 3 people.

I had been here a few days ago and asked for carne asada and lengua tacos (not on the menu). They were nothing to write home about, but at least they were authentic. Tonight, I ordered off the menu. It was the worst Mexican food I've ever had in a restaurant. Let me start by telling you my background. My experience of authentic Mexican cuisine comes largely from Omaha, Nebraska. Yes, Omaha. Some from Texas, some from San Diego, a tiny bit from Mexico, and some at home from the Rick Bayless cookbooks, but mostly from Omaha, where there are thousands of Mexican (and Salvadoran and Honduran) immigrants, a four-block section of street where the sidewalks are decorated in Latino-themed tiled mosaic tile, and a great pile of Mexican and Latino grocers, carnicerias, panederias, taquerias, and full-menu Mexican restaurants that are authentic, excellent, and make everything from scratch. In short, I was spoiled. Tonight's visit to El Maguey was terribly disappointing. I ordered from the "build a meal" menu, a chile relleno, a cheese and onion quesadilla, and a tamal. The tamal was out of a can, covered in some brown sauce that also tasted like it was from a can, and topped off with watery nacho cheese that was absolutely from a can. The relleno was a poblano dressed in a thick, chewy batter that was more like a bread sock than any relleno batter I've ever had before (which should be a fluffy, thin, light affair made mostly of egg whites with a little yolk and flour in it), filled with what tasted like Mexican Velveeta and covered with that nasty canned nacho cheese. Then there was the quesadilla. I've occasionally, when traveling to small towns in places like Iowa or western Nebraska, run into a flour tortilla that gets crispy and hard when you heat it up on a griddle rather than softening. More like a Lebanese pita than a Mexican tortilla. And I find they taste terrible. That was what was wrapped around the quesadilla, which consisted of more Velveeta-like substance and thickly sliced barely cooked white onion. I managed to eat the canned tamal (I'll call it a "hot tamale") and the relleno (if nothing else, it had a poblano in it), but I couldn't make myself eat the quesadilla. No point in punishing myself that much even if I was still hungry. Someone else in one of the other unfathomably glowing reviews mentioned tv dinners. I had experience with having Mexican tv dinners forced on me by my parents when I was a kid. Most of them were at least as good if not better than my meal tonight. So here's what it boils down to: if you like real Mexican food, ask for the tacos. They have carne asada, lengua, and carnitas, I believe. No sopes, huaraches, gorditas, or tortas, but you take what you can get. And although the salsa's not bad, don't get excited about the chips, they taste like they're out of a bag too. Or they were made a week ago and left out. Or better yet, stay away. If pouring a can of nacho cheese over bagged chips or El Patio tv dinners are your idea of a great meal, order off the menu. You'll be fine.

My wife, my son and I decided at the last minute to come to El Maguey and were glad we did. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was clean and nice, and the food was delicious. As soon as you sit down they serve you chips and some tasty salsa. My wife and I had the fajitas for 2 and it was plenty for the two of us and my son with plenty leftover. It was really good.
