El Maguey Mexican Restaurant by Katie P. at InsiderPages

El Maguey is about as authentic as it gets in Independence, Mo. The food is decent, the margaritas are good, they have great lunch specials, and it is all reasonably priced.

GOOD COMPARED TO MOST OTHERS

THERE ARE SEVERAL EL MAGUEY'S IN THE GREATER KCMO AREA. THE ONE IN LEE'S SUMMIT IS VERY GOOD. THEY KNOW HOW TO MAKE A TRADITIONAL MARGUERITA TOO!
