El Maguey - Kailua-Kona

This restaurant is a true gem, located off the beaten path. The portions are generous, and the food consistently tastes great. While it might take some time for your order to be ready, the staff is exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. They always greet me with a smile and treat me kindly. It's a fantastic spot for lunch, and they serve the best nachos around!

I absolutely love their Chile Verde! Since September 2022, it seems they have not been open on Wednesdays, even though their hours still indicate they are. It's a good idea to call ahead to confirm if they're open or to order takeout. Either way, definitely make a trip there—the food is amazing!

I have my shrimp tostada and my mother's fish salad too. Wonderful service.

Not sure who was working the night I went, my chicken tacos were really dry. It didn't come with any kind of sauce/salsa. I used to love coming here before. Maybe I should stick to the fish tacos. But then again, maybe the recipe changed on that one too.

Excellent service, cleanliness and food. The young woman waiting on us was very courteous and attentive. The food was more than we had anticipated, one of the combo plates was enough for two, my 3 taco combo had enough fillings for 6 tacos. We waited a short time for a very good meal, of course we kept it simple, 3combos and a couple of beers. Muchos Gracious.
