The service is amazing. It feels like family here. They make their own flavored tequila fresh in house. The salsa is great and the food is very fresh.

Great food and friendly service.

My fiancé and I both work as restaurant servers so when we go out to eat, we tip way over 20% because we know how difficult the job can be. We tip in cash because we know servers prefer cash. The servers here will hand you a tablet to pay on while the server is at the table, we tipped $0 on card and we told the server we will leave cash on the table for her. We leave it on the table because we don’t need a praise for our tip. So we put it on the table and then leave. But during this interaction the server gave us an attitude and was a little nasty to us as if she didn’t believe we would actually leave cash for her tip. We tipped her 100% of our bill and left the cash on the table. It was just a weird, uncomfortable feeling we were getting from our server when we were paying. Very odd but at least the food was good.

I do not typically leave negative reviews; however, this experience warrants a formal warning to others. Agavero Cantina demonstrated a complete disregard for customer safety, food allergies, and basic standards of service.

My cousin has a severe corn allergy. Prior to visiting, we called the restaurant in advance to confirm whether safe alternatives were available. We were explicitly reassured that accommodations could be made. Based on that confirmation, and our many positive experiences at other Mexican restaurants, we chose to dine here. That decision was a mistake. Despite clearly and repeatedly explaining the allergy, the staff served her rice containing corn, after we had asked multiple times whether the rice was corn-based. Once we reiterated that her food cannot come into contact with corn, the rice was removed.

The situation then escalated. The server returned with a plate of lettuce and beans, with guacamole served on a corn tortilla placed directly on top of the lettuce. This was an obvious and unacceptable case of cross-contamination. When we asked for it to be corrected, the server returned with the same plate of lettuce, even though the corn tortilla had already touched it.
At this point, my cousin requested French fries as a substitute for the rice. Given the repeated failures, we asked to speak with a manager because it was clear her allergy was not being taken seriously.

The manager’s response was shockingly dismissive:
“This is a Mexican restaurant. Everything has corn in it.”

He proceeded to minimize our concerns further and stated that the French fries were cooked in corn oil—information that was only provided after the order was placed. Thankfully, my cousin had not eaten them, as she no longer felt safe consuming anything from this establishment.

We have dined at numerous Mexican restaurants where staff were knowledgeable, transparent, and respectful of food allergies. Agavero Cantina is not one of them. Their lack of care, poor communication, and dismissive management attitude create a potentially dangerous environment for anyone with food allergies.
If you or someone in your party has a food allergy or dietary restrictions. This establishment is not equipped, nor willing, to prioritize customer safety.

Our server Hector did his job so well! Every time we needed something he got it for us in more than timely fashion. The food came out quickly and was hot and tasted amazing. The vibe in the restaurant was awesome for holidays and the staff were dressed up for the part as well. In all it’s tasty food that is worth what you pay and the atmosphere is fantastic. Will come back!!!
