La Magdalena Wonderful Mexican Food

Let me just share that we have visited this location for about 20 years now...Not that we are old. My inlaws knew good food in the area when I initially moved..we have been since taking our kids. And now our son his daughter. The food is always consistent. We are frequent visitors to RockNWheels down the street and decide that our money is better spent on small businesses then Portillos. (Not that we do not love a good Portalimules visit..in the burbs it has become common). Their shredded chicken anything is freakin amaz. Burrito, tacos..I prefer mine with minimal filler so that I can taste the goodness...the food is brought out fast and fresh. The service however can be hit or miss. Let's just put it this way. There are some who enjoy their jobs and others who do not. We have had attentive service and another time just left sitting while the restaurant was closing and other chairs were being put on top of tables. I will say that we are super picky about the food that we choose to spend our cash on. When we express to the staff how much we enjoy and how consistent the food is, it is difficult to hear a generic sentence as Yes. Mexican food is good. This is taking into consideration the possibility of anxiety or communication barriers. The restaurant has not been overly busy. Generally we are among 5..maybe 6 other seated parties. Unfortunately this is the same person that left us sitting. Leaving me to believe that they are not the best staff for waiting on tables. We have a small biz in Addison, perhaps it's not what it seems..who knows? the last few interactions have been bummers...but back on to what is important..the food. We will just work around them next time and find management to take our payment. Margaritas are a good value, FUN and will leave you a bit happy. Soup can alter between salty and not..but this is not always a deal breaker. It's super hard to vary our selection beyond their shredded chickie. Their spicy hot sauce is the bomb. Perhaps one day we will explore beyond our comfort zones. They used to have a good steak..I just don't partake as much anymore. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Went here with some girlfriends for dinner. Server was very nice and checked in on us frequently getting us anything we needed. I ordered the steak fajitas, it was 24$. Most of my plate was green peppers and onions and small Amount of meat. For $24 I think they could spring for some red and yellow peppers. I honestly hate green peppers lol they just taste like they need more time to grow . My cousin got Chicken fajitas and her plate was the same. The flavor of the meat was good though, portion of rice and beans was small and just OK. Their chips and salsa and pretty decent too. Over all everything was good, not spectacular. Server was great though. I would go again, maybe try something else. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30

Excellent local Mexican food! The meal starts with mild and hot fresh salsa and chips. The empanadas were well stuffed, both the beef and chorizo were great! The Flautas were a great size, and cooked wonderfully. Their al pastor pork tacos were better than all in the area! I just want to take home a container of it. Long established, low-key and clean inside. The staff is professional, mature, and not pushy. Will definitely be back!

Excellent place. Food was great and the service was quick and friendly. This is the kind of place for authentic Mexican food and an atmosphere where you can hold a conversation at your table (music in the background wasn't to loud). Servers were attentive and friendly.
