“My family and I visited this restaurant on our travels through the area, and we are so happy we did! The food was absolutely delicious!! We tried the chicken quesadilla, barbacoa torta, beef soup, and a variety of tacos. Everything was amazing. My son loved the soup so much that he drank every drop of the broth. Absolutely recommend this restaurant.“

“There isn't enough stars on here too even rate this place. I give this Burrito Express a 50 STAR RATING!!!! I'm totally in love with their food. Its extremely hard to impress me with food and this spot truly over achieved my expectations. My top favorite place to eat from here on out. I'm most definitely telling everyone I can about this Burrito spot

I GIVE IT A 50 STAR RATING!!!“

“If you don't get the fries that are $14 you are losing. Food better than 99% of sit in Mexican places and it's in a gas station. Only rated service 3 stars because they missed my sandwich on the call in and had to wait for them to make it. It took half the time getting a burger at hardees in swansea so can't complain I changed to 5 stars after further contemplation. Place is always busy so figured we would try it tonight. We'll definitely be back for fries and a cubano. Wife had a steak and a shrimp street taco and said both were great but shrimp with guacamole and cilantro were the winner. A+ 5 🌟“

“San Jose in the Red Bank area is serving serious taco magic. The tripa tacos had that perfect textural contrast — crisp edges with a rich, tender center — layered on warm, fresh tortillas. Add the bright cilantro, sharp onion, squeeze of lime, and their salsa, and every bite was balanced, bold, and deeply satisfying.

The horchata was silky and refreshing with just the right sweetness, cutting through the richness of the tacos beautifully. Great service and a genuinely welcoming manager made the experience feel personal, not just transactional.

This is the kind of spot taco lovers search for. Authentic, flavorful, and unforgettable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌮🥤“

“We have searched for an authentic Mexican restaurant for several years. Agave Azul does not disappoint. Excellent customer service and delicious food. We are now regular customers and my 8 year old says he wants to see his "family". Keep up amazing work y'all do for every customer. FIVE stars for sure!!! 🫶🏼“

“We were regular San Jose customers, and while they are good, they were closed. We decided to try Chapala's again. A couple years back, we had gone and weren't too pleased. We were very glad we gave them another chance. Not sure what has changed, but the food was outstanding! The most tender chicken in the entrees and the guac was extra good! We are now regular customers. So, if you haven't been in a while, do yourself a favor and revisit!!“
