    The place is too loud. Conversation at our table was nearly impossible. Food was very good. Table-side guacamole was great. Our server was very attentive.

    I have dined here a number of times and enjoy the elevated dishes. A group 6 of us dined at 8:00 pm on a Wednesday, so the restaurant was not crowded. We had the freshly prepared guacamole, which is always a winner! I had a taco salad, others had enchiladas, and two specials - one a shrimp dish, another that was a poblano stuffed with ground veal and cheese. Everything was delicious.

    We celebrate every Cinco de Mayo, which also happens to be my sister’s birthday, at Mago in Arlington Heights. We always enjoy ourselves there, and this year was no exception. After being seated, our server took our drink Orders and brought us thin, crispy chips accompanied by three delicious homemade salsas. Next we ordered guacamole, which was prepared table-side with tomatoes, onions, Chiles, cilantro, and just the right amount of heat. Our entrees included sumptuous chicken enchiladas in a tangy salsa verde, tender and juicy carne asada, and a flavorful shrimp dish served in a delicious buttery sauce. Dessert consisted of sweet crispy churros served in a miniature cart with two ice cream cups and two sauces. Everything was delicious, and was served up by friendly, attentive staff. The tradition continues and we are already looking forward to our next meal at Mago’s!
