This place is my regular haunt in Lakeland. Best and most constant Mexican food coupled with a wide variety of comfort American. We order the chicken enchiladas, best toppings ever, their giant burrito, and amazing nachos. We order here at least twice a month.

I had the Guatemalan tamales, so good! They are bigger and better than the Mexican ones and wrapped in a banana leaf! Prices are awesome as well!

The food was great! We loved that they provide large cups for coffee. The customer service was good, and the food was delicious. The salsas were excellent, but I think they should serve the birria hotter and offer a salsa specifically for it. Overall, we loved it! And we love the fact they open at 6:00

Update december 21 2024

I regret to say that I can no longer recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. The chips and salsa, which were once complimentary, now come with a charge, and refills are not provided. Additionally, the coffee service is subpar; it’s brought out only when the food is nearly ready, likely to avoid refill requests. The menudo portion has decreased, and to make matters worse, mine was served cold. Another disappointing aspect was the nearly $5 fee for paying with a debit card, which I find unreasonable. Overall, this restaurant has lost the quality and experience it once offered.

Excellent tasting authentic food. I love the fact that I could order lengua here in addition to that it was still very reasonably priced. The perportion is generous. And they also give you complimentary chips and green chili while you wait for your food dining in. The t.v. screens are on to entertain you too. This will be my go to place for the variety of really good food at prices that my budget cab afford these days. Love it!

You have to try the tacos de tripas, make sure you tell them that you want them crunchy/well done. A tip from me to you, add lemon and salsa if you want to take it up a notch in flavor and spiciness. Thats the only way to eat them. I've had them at other places and even though I ask for them to be well done they are trash. So far los tacos de TRIPAS (BIEN DORADAS) at El Agave are hands down the BOMBA.....

So so SO good!

So far have had the lengua taco plate (with a side of beans and rice) and the potato flauta plate (with a side of beans and rice) and it has all been such good food. Glad to finally find a place with lengua around here! ?

Always passed by this place and kept meaning to check it out and glad to finally have time to check it out because it’s a hidden gem!

The staff are very friendly and welcoming too. It’s a small place and they recently made it a bit bigger with a bigger seating section but still on the small side. But good stuff to take to go and just as good at home as it is in the restaurant.

The prices are reasonable too, nothing too pricey.

Definitely recommend!

The ambiance is always great here it’s where you can bring your family for like a nice meal together. They have plenty of tables for small and bigger parties. Staff is very friendly very welcoming but service can be a bit better. There not super attentive once your seated. They take long periods to come and check in on you if there’s anything else you might like, if anythings missing or if everything is to our satisfaction. I waited 1hr for my quesadilla the last time I was here. They apologized they burned the first one apparently and had to remake it but they didn’t communicate that with me until I went up to them. I had to leave though because I had class starting soon so I had my sibling stay and it was switched to go instead of eating there. They make their tortillas from hand so it’s made fresh to order. I Can understand that and don’t mind the wait it’s just the lack of communication that bothered me. The food is great here though I would recommend there Gorditas the tripa, chicharrón, asada or pastor goes the same with their tacos. There birria is okay. There menudo is good too. There quesadillas are good as well.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have wheelchair accessible tables
