Better to eat date and drink water then pray , you can have full meal after prayer . Maghrib is shortest time. So be careful. You can make wudu early to save more time.
JazakAllah khair

Salaam brother.
Excellent question. Every year at the masjid for Iftar, everyone would have about 5-10 minutes to eat/drink/wash hands/perform wudu and then Magrib prayer would start.
You have the whole night to eat, prayers should always come first.

there are many imams who would say the opposite. first eat...then pray...you have enough time to do both. how well can you concentrate on your prayer with all the delicious food on the table which you can finally consume...how many of us will then race the clock doing prayer as fast as you can so that you can sit and eat.
you will be full within 15 minutes anyway
you will be full within 15 minutes anyway

It's time to break fast, so you can have full meal or small meal if you want.
But if time period between Maghrib and Isha is short, like a little bit over an hour, I just eat small portion and drink water and then offer Maghrib salat.
You can also make dua upon breaking fast as this hadith says

exactly...some of us prefer to pray first so that they can eat in peace without rushing...and others need to eat first so that food is no longer a distraction while doing salaat...both are valid.
