“Under new ownership. I ate there with my wife, and my son and his wife. The food and service are excellent, everyone at the table agreed. We all had different dinners, a lot of depth in the menu. The guacamole is absolutely great. I can’t wait to try their food with Margaritas as well, we had flavored tea in the interim. A lot of restaurants are noisy inside yet this was not the case here. Next time we will try eating outdoors.“

“We are originally from Oklahoma and Texas where authentic Mexican food is normal. We were told that real Mexican food didn't exist here. It does now.

Whether it's the authentic red sauce, the fabulous hot salsa, or the (off the menu) chillaquilles, if you don't want Midwest Mex, California Mex or Tex Mex, you will enjoy the food.“

“My husband and I tried Agave for the first time this past friday while doing some Christmas shopping. We were excited with all the good reviews however the service and food fell short. We were maybe 1 table of 6 with 3 servers on. Our food came out before our appetizer. My food was warm at best. My husband's looked like it had sat under a warming lamp. Our waiter never came to see how things were or ask about drinks. We then had to flag another waiter for our bill to find out we were charged dinner prices for lunch items. We just paid and left it was not worth the time. Also why is your restroom like a freezer? I could see my breath when I went in to use it!“

“The Richmond St. Taco John's is a landmark. So glad it's still there. But I have one criticism:
We go to Taco John's for nostalgia - tacos and 80s music! Where's the 80s? It can even be a mix of 80's and 90s, that's fine. Toss in a few modern tunes, that's cool, too.
But we want pop and rock music (emphasis on 80s) in our Taco John's! : )“

“Osorio's catered our wedding and it was one of the major highlights of the day. Guests are still talking about it weeks later! They made the food tasting a fun experience, there's so many great options for catering - we went with the taco buffet - you can customize however you'd like, and they're a wonderful, professional team. We were originally drawn in by the amazing food truck offerings, and they absolutely blew us away with the catering. Seriously delicious food!!!“
