I had to use my wife’s Google to write this. The best Mexican in 50 mile radius. This is no exaggeration. So went in today and requested of the manager and waiter that the chips and salsa keep flowing, charge extra if necessary. Also asked for paella without the work. Don’t want to peel shrimp, don’t want to crush crab legs. Also can you add the 8 muscles dish to the paella so the muscles sauce can go over the rice. Also requested margaritas pitcher for my wife, and Bloody Mary for me. They delivered exceptionally on every aspect and gave us such the wonderful taste and experience. Love this place. Bloody Mary was wonderful. My wife’s carnitas plate was exceptional. Love this place and it’s a must go to.

They have some great food in here . Tatiana our server was great, she recommended us some menu items that were great . They have real Mexican food and a part of the menu is called “fake Mexican food” that refers to what often people mistake as Mexican food when it’s just Tex-Mex .

The atmosphere is welcoming the service on point. The food is absolutely delicious the drinks festive and dessert delish especially the flan, authentic all around. I highly recommend to stop and try it out for yourself.

Amazing food and fair prices. Nicely decorated but in a formal fast food location this is a worth while stop. I will be back.

Everything we got was absolutely delicious. The pork carnitas were moist and tender. The carne asada with chorizo was so flavorful. The ceviche was perfect! I can’t say enough about this place. Yoli took care of us and helped us pick out the best dishes!! Be sure to request Yoli!

Torta milenesa pollo is my favorite sandwich. A bit disappointed it didn’t come on bolillo bread, but the sandwich was on point! Never had it with pickled onions before it was really good I will definitely be back. The salsa was very very good. Definitely recommend

Great meal and friendly service. The guacamole was great but the portion for the price was even better. The service time was on par for the most part but we did have an extended wait getting our check after the meal, probably because the place was busy. Some items were pricy but the menu was so varied that anyone on any budget or diet could find something great to enjoy. We can’t wait to return in the future! Edit for May 2022: Agave is still great and getting better all the time.
