    We loved our server, Pricilla - she is an excellent asset to Mago. She is friendly, efficient and prompt. The loved the salsas , the steak was succulent and it was a lovely and relaxing atmosphere. We never had to ask for anything - all was great!

    The food is always amazing here! On this trip and we had the absolute best service! Our waitress took her time making sure we were ordering the best selections for us! She even brought us out a mole sampler to try since we had never had it. Great food, great service… We will be back

    Their location is good, very good food but watery drinks and by far the worst service I've had in a long time. Absolutely horrible service.

    Took my 3 boys to celebrate my youngest 21st birthday, and from start of getting us sit on time as the reservation was, until the end of the night when my son got a birthday dessert with a happy birthday hat and son, everything was great. Drinks and food in overall were exceptional, will be going back definitely
