Agaves Mexican Grill

The pozole rojo is outstanding. As was the al pastor tacos. Our favorites. Lemonade is excellent too

Probably the best burrito around

Good music and great food

Tried this restaurant for the first time on a date night. Definitely a higher volume place but we were able to tuck against a wall and had no trouble hearing each other and yet still felt like we could have a private conversation. The food. was. so. good. We got two of the specials and shared. Flavors were amazing, everything was so fresh and the meat had clearly been slow cooked for a long time in a sauce that probably had a half dozen ingredients I’ve never heard of. We ordered non-alcoholic versions of a jalapeño margarita and a berry shrub spritzer - these was such a refreshing and tasty treat! If you enjoy authentic, well done Mexican cuisine, I highly recommend Agaves.

Overall good, the atmosphere was a chill though strange that they were playing saf music. VERY offput by the server standing over you while you check out and pick tip and having to specifically ask for the reciept before checking out.

I must say I’ve been to a lot of restaurants in the city of Boston. I was out here for work for a few weeks and this is a hidden gem for great Mexican food !

Not only was the food good But the service was top-tier from the moment I walked in the door I was greeted and seated quickly , my food and drinks were out in record time . I must say I have never been to a restaurant that has had this great of service before. I will definitely be back again.

This place hit the spot!

The best thing about my experience here was the margarita. But it also cost more than my burrito, which was tasteless. I was also charged $2 each for a side of sour cream and a side of salsa. A small cup of salsa came free with the complimentary tortilla chips but if you want more, expect to pay for it. I paid online using the QR code on my receipt and was then asked to show proof as I was leaving, which shouldn’t be necessary if they set it up correctly. There was also something very generic about the whole place - it lacks character. I won’t be going back.

Been there a few times, food has always been pretty good, but services has consistently been poor. They aren’t very polite, they make you feel rushed, they don’t check in on you or refill water. Again, food is pretty good, atmosphere is nice, just not very polite or good service. I hope they strive to do better.

Kid-friendliness: They are somewhat intolerant of kids being kids.

Gave this the quasi Jonathan Gold (famous LA food critic) treatment, going 2x to form a solid opinion before even thinking of a review. Sadly the Berkshires is poor on the Mexican food front - and this restaurant shows why. The menu is overly complicated, allowing a diner options for ‘steak’ and ‘chicken’ with slight cost differentials based merely on the protein - not the flavor profile, difficulty in cooking or other meaningful criteria. Worse, the interesting meats (or vegetable offerings) like carnitas, carne asada and any other offering even a mediocre California mexican restaurant might have are virtual unknowns. In Tucson AZ - a chimichanga is a UNESCO world heritage food. In Lee MA it is heavy, leaden, nearly 70% refried beans and smothered in a rojia sauce that is like the blandest marinara. The staff are friendly and over eager to clear plates - wanting to clear the salsa and chip plate for instance 3x during our meal … when there was plenty of food left. Who doesn’t want to pay for food only to have it taken away to be thrown out in the trash? It is unfortunate that this corner of the Berkshires can be populated by people coming off the turnpike exit for a quick meal never to return and they either won’t pass by again or the weak food offerings will just fade in the background when the weekenders are gone. Lee itself had a failed Oxacan restaurant in the historic train station that closed post pandemic. It also has another Mexican place Avocado Cafe which - while itself far from perfect, does at least have mild, medium and quite good green and red salsas (you have to ask and politely turn down the sugary bland Berkshire variety) and actually quite good mole enchiladas - harder to find off the municipal parking lot but 2-3 times better. Lastly, the wordy phrases on the walls and bathrooms mirrors reminds one of some kind of instagram purgatory - their pointless meaning forever connected with some kind of mid tier business school business plan. I know this review seems a little harsh - but with inflation and dullness everywhere these days - perhaps one could and should avoid this establishment in favor of other offerings. I mean if you’re going to serve food this non ethnic - you would be better getting off in Chicopee or going to Northampton / Florence whose two Mexican leaning places (Bueno Y Sana and Masa Mexicano) offer far more value and intrigue. It could get better at Agaves but I doubt it will improve enough to entice locals and hilltown regulars to make the trip. The Posole is the best offering by far.

Vegetarian options: Portobello tacos, squash, onions.

What a gem! After the holidays, we were on a drive and stumbled upon Agaves. Needed something other than "New American" fare and this was perfect.

Didn't expect good Mexican food in the East Coast (usually El Salvadorean, Peruvian, Columbian, Cuban and Puerto Rican) and this place delivered. We were hungry so no pics but the shrimp tacos (you get 3!), wet empanadas and the nachos were amazing! Don't live in the area so don't know when I will be back but having been telling all my friends and acquaintances to go when they go skiing near the area.

The bar had Clase Azul and decent tequila at pretty much every price point (Milagro, Espalon, Herradura, Don Julio, etc) and the service was impeccable. Friendly, efficient and perfect.
