    Everything was pretty good. The only big issue was at the beginning. It took the server over 5 minutes to come to our table and then it took over 10 minutes to get our first drink.

    Mago is a great place for a special celebration. It is so festive with sparklers and sombreros for a birthday celebration.

    Not your ordinary Mexican restaurant. The guacamole is made at your table to your preferred level of spiciness. The margs are to notch, and the food is fresh and delicious. Service was also very good.

    Fri 6pm reservation seated promptly. Busy & extremely Loud! Food & service ok. Ridiculous 3% surcharge included on every check. Didn’t notice until after we paid and left. Buried at bottom of the check in Small print. Won’t be returning

    Always very attentive staff- only hesitation every time we come is how loud the restaurant is for people that want to talk and hear each other. Music always way too loud.

    Great Service! Elizabeth was one of the best servers we have ever had, since we they opened. Food was good as usual, but unfortunately my medallion were a bit past my liking. But they made up for it. Flight of Margaritas always a great choice! Love this place, they have nothing to worry about with Ancho and Agave opening up. Still a Great spot for Birthdays and get togethers . 🥰
