“The food was pretty good.“

“Bartenders are amazing! The Hard Kampucha is to die for! And the tacos are spot on!“

“The chips and salsa were amazing. Both the shrimp salad and rice bowl definitely had room for improvement(tiny shrimp). Both of us were pretty disappointed in our dishes, but would be curious to try other things given the salsa and drinks. The beverages were delicious and fresh.“

“Visited this place with my bf!! Very good food!! Was greeted by a lovely host who gave us a menu to order being that we were ordering to go!! Then we ended up placing our order with the very nice bartender behind the counter. Not even 5mins he acknowledged us so we just ended up placing our order with him. Food came out fast and correct as well. Will be returning!!!! With or without my bf lol !!!“

“I frequent Charleston, and this is always my first stop. To start, the chips are actually fried and delicious, and pair perfectly with the house made salsa. I have tried most of the menu items, but once I discovered the camarones a la Diabla, have never looked back. It is the most delicious sauce for this common dish that I have ever tried. I have dreams about it. The space is fun and the vibes are immaculate.“

“Great staff and great food“

Don't let the location scare you off: this is some genuine Mexican cuisine with all the flavors. Victor took care of us and was super nice and very accommodating.

“The first time we came we ordered Tlayudas de asada and they were delicious! I have been looking for a place (North and South Carolina) that has Tlayudas with the flavor and crunchy that I remember when a classmate invited me to eat a homemade Tlayuda. We stopped again and ordered a Carnitas one and it did not disappoint us! my husband also wanted a torta which again was so delicious!! My brother and I can never agree on the flavor and quality food from many restaurants or food trucks. However, he said he really enjoys the food from Mi Lindo Oaxaca too.“

“I didn’t even eat here. I was having a tough time with a boot on my car outside, and an employee named Finn came out to help me. He was incredibly supportive, all while I was having an anxiety attack. No one made him do that. but if this restaurant employ as a kid like that, then they’re five stars in my book. Unlike that wine store next-door.“

“Great neighborhood restaurant for locals - no tourists there when we had lunch. Beautifully presented meals, hot, tasty and the price was right. Professional service - couldn't ask for more. We were told they were a member of Toast!Rewards but haven't seen our points yet.“

“Highly recommend for Mexican cuisine, best in town! Every dish is delicious and the tequila espresso martini is amazing!!“

“This is the absolute BEST in CHARLESTON! 🌺 🌊 Me and my family love this place! Great service, food, and environment! It was so great there, I thought the check was going to come back so EXPENSIVE!! But NO, the payment was so quick and small! (No extra fees either) My small family of 3 ate HUGE meals for $30! And it was so good! We HAD TO tip them $40 for all of the good work they did 👏! I was so impressed by their food and service, that I HAD to visit Charleston AGAIN Becuase I loved their food 🍱! RECOMMEND 💯! 1000/10“

But someone else eventually came along and brought us our check.“

“We wanted to have lunch so we went to Agaves Cantina. The local recommended it, and they greeted us at the door and got us settled at a table. The ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful.

Fernando was our server, and he brought out the menus. After talking with him, we decided on the Pollo A La Creme, Quesadilla Fajita, and Nachos Fajita.

The server bought out some chips and salsa, which was a great start to our lunch. Both the chips and salsa were delicious, and everyone in our group enjoyed them.

The server brought us out all our dishes, and they were all really well-made, delicious, and perfect lunch options. There was definitely enough food to go around for everyone in our group.

Agaves Cantina is a beautiful restaurant with delicious and high-quality food.“
