Stopped in on our way elsewhere. Glad we did! We were greeted and seated quickly at around 2:30 on a Friday afternoon. Cristobal was very nice and on point. Orders taken quickly and food delivered fast and hot. Her chicken soup was hot and delicious with what appeared to be a whole chicken breast in it. My Speedy Gonzalez was very good as well. Crispy beef taco, fluffy yellow rice and a chicken enchilada with mole sauce. This place has the good stuff. Quaint atmosphere reminiscent of some Mexican restaurants. We would likely drive 30 minutes out of our way to return. (Dang it, I was so excited by my food I again forgot to take a pic!)

Tried for the first time, and it was average. I had fajitas, and they looked and smelled pretty good, but not a lot of flavor. Tortillas, rice and beans were sorta 'grocery store'. Same deal with the chips, kind of a plain taste, salsa was fresh but no strong flavors or spice. The food quality is ok, it was cooked right and not stale or anything. It just doesn't have a ton of seasoning. It's better than what most people can make at home, but not as good as some of the chains I've tried like El Tio or Guapo's. Service was good and friendly, no long wait. Decor is cute, and booth seating is ok. But the lights are all too low and bright, with cold white light that feels very sterile. It doesn't feel comfortable or welcoming. They would really improve the vibe of this place by just using dimmer, more warm lights that aren't right in your face, maybe some of those little fake candles on the table.

Standard Mexican type diner, everything was delicious. Very quiet at lunchtime.

Pretty solid Mexican food. Everything is fresh and made in house. You won't be disappointed. Their cocktails are great and they do not skimp on the liquor.

I've been going to this restaurant since I was a kid! I have memories of an evening at El Agave followed by a trip to the Blockbusters next door, if that gives you any sense of how long this place has been a part of this community. The service is always friendly and quick, and in my opinion, it has remained the best place for Mexican food in town since it opened many years ago.

We went there in a group of 10. The servers were all nice and friendly, and everything we had was delicious. We especially liked ceviche and guacamole! Will definitely go back for a casual Mexican dinner.

Very disappointed. The meal was bland. Have dined at other locations and was pleased, but will not be returning to this one.

I would not be visiting this restaurant again. The food was OK but nothing special. The service was horrible. We had to ask for napkins and silverware. And, the food took forever to come. It was a less than positive experience.
Food was really good......
