This is excellent food. Good atmosphere. Friendly service. Great prices. We are from Las Vegas and would definitely go to this often if it were in our neck of the woods
New to the area, I was told to try the “other” Mexican restaurant first… and honestly, it didn’t live up to the hype. So I decided to give this place a try — and OMG, what a difference!
They had my favorite dish, Tierra y Mar, and it was absolutely incredible. The flavors were fresh, perfectly balanced, and beautifully prepared. The homemade chips? Hands down the best I’ve ever had — warm, crisp, and dangerously addictive. And the texas margarita made with fresh...read full review

El Agave in Highlands Plaza offers excellent food and great service in a comfortable and chillable atmosphere. The staff is friendly and welcoming, providing great service. The chips are fresh and made in-house, served with fresh, flavorful salsa that is not too spicy, and a delicious hot sauce that is a little bit sweet. The house made tortillas are unreal.
Specific dishes receive high praise, including the seafood nachos with shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, and squash, the Sope De Pollo, the best chicken quesadilla, and very meaty street tacos. The rice is also noted as really good. For drinks, the margaritas are delicious and excellent, with specific mention of a fair-priced pina colada margarita. The bar is well stocked.
The overall experience is highly recommended, with great prices and reasonable bills. The seating is comfortable and there are big screen TVs, creating a definite place to return to.
