Since the passing away of Poncho's years ago, many people have sat in the dark wondering when the Mexican buffet will return. I'm going to let you in on a little secret. There are only a couple of Mexican buffets out there now days, and the top honor definitely goes to El Magey.
El Magey is sort of a hidden treasure located just past the Tenseltown overpass on Siegen. This place is awesome, featuring great Mexican dishes that always taste fresh and delicious. The place stays busy with Latinos, authenticating its food. The buffet is not the biggest one in Baton Rouge by far, but on it you will find soups, salad, steak fajitas, chicken fajitas, quesadillas, and my favorite the barbecue chicken.
Today I went with just about everything. I started with a ton of barbecue chicken (did I mention how much I love this stuff), steak fajitas, quesadillas, and some Spanish rice topped with beans and cheese. I cleaned my plate and had no bad thoughts toward any of the food on it. The steak was so tender an d well seasoned. The quesadillas are always stuffed with chicken and cheese and stay fresh and soft. The rice and topping where delicious and do i even have to talk about the barbecue chicken. I want more now!
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Cervezas
Service
The service is pretty good here. Everyone is friendly and works hard to serve you. The food stays fresh and I have never seen them run out of food that wasn't refilled in less than a couple minutes.

Atmosphere
The only slightly negative rating I can give is the atmosphere, and it snot really bad. It’s clean and open, but it doesn't have the flare that most Mexican places offer. It’s kind of quiet and boring to tell the truth. Let's fiesta it up people!
