“Waited way too long to visit this Gem! Food and service outstanding!“

“Friendly service and a delicious meal.

I enjoyed the pastor tacos, which have a crispy pork filling and great combination of sweet and savory flavor and pescado, one of the best fish taco. My partner got the chorizo burrito - big portion! Definitely going to a regular spot for us.“

“Agave Mexican Restaurant in Issaquah truly stands out for its exceptional dining experience. The customer service is prompt and attentive, making you feel welcomed from the moment you enter. The authenticity of the Mexican cuisine is impressive; each dish bursts with flavor and is clearly made with fresh ingredients. From traditional tacos to flavorful enchiladas, every bite reflects the rich culinary heritage of Mexico. The drinks are equally noteworthy, featuring a diverse selection of tequila and vibrant cocktails that perfectly complement the food. All of this comes at reasonable prices, making it an excellent value for such high-quality dining. Overall, I would highly recommend Agave for anyone craving authentic Mexican food in a friendly atmosphere. It's a gem in Issaquah that you won’t want to miss!“

“I am a local in Fall City, well just outside. And this is our go to has been for years. The people are awesome, the food is fantastic, I always go for the Macho Burrito Chicken and it has hit the spot everything. As a family we have gotten all sorts of dishes from here over the years and never been dissapointed. I always judge a restaurant first off by its Salsa and they have a good one there.

For value, its very good value for money, and they have managed to make and keep it affordable through all circumstances we face face beyond our control.

The people who run the restaurant day in day out are truly fantastic.

Keep up the great work, you deserve the recognition“

“Seriously the BEST chicken quesadillas I've ever had! Everything else has been delicious, as well, and we've ordered just about everything on the menu.“

“The food is exceptional. It is notably different than the Mexican fare typically found in restaurants here. I especially recommend that mole and guajillo sauces. We will be back!“

“Friendly folks and great nachos!!!“

“Las Margaritas staff are attentive, helpful, and fun. The portions are plentiful and the food is excellent. The cocktails are high quality and made well. Their original Margarita on the rocks is my favorite. This was the Mexican restaurant that taught me, many years ago, that I do love real Mexican food, Americano tacos no longer have a place in my life.“

“Love the new menu items and the great service every time.“

“I love this place! Reminds me of my home town, Champaign IL. Great Food & Great People!!!“

“Great food and a great atmosphere! The carne asada tortas were excellent — my husband kept talking about how good they were the whole time. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and the environment was welcoming and comfortable. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Taco time is so much better than the other guys in my opinion!

I’m a picky vegetarian with GI issues and several sensitivities which limit my options for fast food (let alone just trying to find quality fast food). I almost never eat out — partly because I’m a picky eater, and partly because most places leave me feeling weighed down or give me stomach aches. But Taco Time has been such a pleasant surprise! The quality of the food is consistently fresh and flavorful, and I actually feel good after eating here.

Even without a mock meat option yet (which I hope they’ll add in the future along with other veggie options), there are still plenty of vegetarian-friendly choices like crisp bean burritos, veggie tacos, bowls, and salads with fresh salsa and guacamole, etc. The portions are decent for the quality and price, and you really taste the difference in the ingredients compared to typical fast food.

The staff here are always friendly and efficient — my order is ready quickly, and they get it right every time. For a quick-service healthy spot, Taco Time really stands out in terms of quality, freshness, and customer care. It’s one of the only fast food places I actually trust.

Thanks for giving me a nice option when I don't have the time or energy to cook!“

“I have only been here two times as I moved to the area right before the government stole the freedom of Americans to move about freely... that being said, this visit - IN PERSON - was excellent! Matt, the bartender answered several questions and made a couple suggestions. I went with one of them (Carnitas and Scratch Margarita) and was pleasantly impressed with both! The crowd was fun, the staff was doing an excellent job (having been in the industry for 24 years myself) taking care of the business and caring for the clients. Thank you and I WILL be back again!“

“Amazing food, wonderful service and a lovely atmosphere! Nice place for romantic dinner or bring a group. I'll be back!“

“One of my favorite Taco Times in the area. I go here to eat and relax...and maybe hide from the people at home some times. I can neither confirm nor deny that last one. It's comfy, the food is always delicious and all the staff is always super nice...and I suspect I'm not the only one hiding out in there, as I see others reading and surfing on their phones �“

“The El Jefe Burger and all of the tacos are great! I am very sad they stopped serving the Braised Duck Taquitos. That was my favorite item on the menu. All of the salsas are fantastic. It is impossible to have a bad time here. Delicious every time I come in. Staff is great. Very helpful and knowledgeable.“

“Great food and a friendly crew. I eat here regularly, much better than fast food or chain restaurants.“

“While in the PNW from the East Coast, i needed my Taco Time fix in Silverdale. I forgot my wallet with cash & credit cards in it on the counter and I didn't catch her name, but one of the employees turned it in with everything in it. I am so grateful and so happy to know there are still good honest people out there!! May God bless her and the other employees there!!🥰“

“Great food, friendly employees, reasonable prices“

“Been coming here for over fifteen years and decided to leave a review. Service is consistently efficient and friendly, and the flavors are always fresh. Wayyyy more options than Chipotle and the protein options have more flavor than Chipotle. Honestly the best tortilla soup I’ve had, even when including “proper” mexican restaurants. Highly recommend the Cholula chicken for whatever entree you’re getting. Such amazing flavor.“

“I’ve always loved Taco Bell. The food is consistently delicious, and the combo meals are a great deal. It’s one of my favorite go-to spots for a quick bite. That said, I do wish there was more awareness around how items are fried. Frying things like chicken nuggets and fries in the same oil can be a concern for people with allergies or dietary restrictions. It would be amazing if there were clearer information or separate fryers to help avoid cross-contamination. Still a big fan, just hoping for a bit more care in this area.“
