I got scrambled huevos rancheros with a side of bacon, it was delicious. The salsa and beans had so much flavor, the bacon was crispy. My breakfast really did have that homemade feeling. The service was great as well. I will definitely be coming back, I highly recommend.

Great litttle spot in oak cliff! Was going to get breakfast tacos Sunday next door at mixing bowl bakery(also fantastic!) but they were closed. Rolled the dice and Went next door to mago’s and glad I did! From the outside looks like a concrete adobe with painted menu on the outside and burglar bars, but inside was the friendliest and attentive service, along with great food. I had an omelette with potatoes and beans. Very delicious. Definitely going back.

Literally a hole in the wall, I knew it was going to be good. I had the caldo de res and it was great. Good customer service, I will be back if im in the area again.

The menudo here is fantastic. It’s served daily, so I don’t have to wait until the weekends to get some. The meat is not too soggy like other places. The flavor is excellent. I prefer it to have a bit more of a kick, but you can always add more jalapeños. Their barbacoa taco is good as well. Don’t be fool, the taco is bigger than other street tacos.On top of all that, the service is excellent. The waitress was very attentive and courteous. I’ll definitely will be back sooner than later

Great ambience. Very attentive servers. Best chile relleno I’ve ever had in my life! I should have taken a picture since I did not find any posted photos, but I couldn’t contain myself! One bite and I couldn’t put my fork down. Plate wasn’t spilling over the sides with big portions. I left my plate clean and it was enough. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy other dishes. Definitely a must visit eatery and it won’t put a big dent in your pocket book like almost all fast food chains. Try it out-you will not be disappointed.

Outstanding breakfast and lunch. Breakfast tacos are large portion. Variety of toppings to choose from, all freshly made to order.
