    Torta de Milanesa

    No recomiendo este lugar. Siempre que como aquí tengo una mala experiencia y nunca estoy satisfecha con la comida. Soy el tipo de persona que le da oportunidades a restaurantes como este pero después de tantas veces que vengo y trato un nuevo platillo es la peor experiencia. Es un 0/10 no se lo recomendaría a nadie. I DO NOT recommend this place. Every time I've visited this place I am left hungry and disappointed. I'm very optimistic so I always try to give restaurants like these many chances by trying a different plate each time. However, after so many opportunities it's time to review it. This place is definitely a 0/10!!! I cannot express how this last experience was HORRIBLE. I asked for a milanesa torta and this is what I got. Almost beef jerky at this point. This place is definitely not what San Antonio food represents please don't waste your time coming here.

    The Michelada was the best part. It was perfectly made with lots of chamoy and tanjin on the rim.

    The food came out really fast almost too fast. All preheated so a fast serve. The tortillas are not homemade. The nopales were good with great flavor. The rice is made with carrots and peas tasted good. The give a generous amount of guacamole on the plate with fresh lettuce and tomato. The chips were stale and the shell on the puffy taco was soggy not crispy. The place is large and can accommodate large groups. They have a DJ on Saturday nights.

    Would've taken a pic of the food but it didn't last long lol ;)

    Food is consistent and authentic, delicious and generous portions. Tortillas are homemade. Service is friendly and attentive, drive through is quick. Ambiance is pleasant :) I especially like their green white and red neon restroom sign and the painted murals of rural Mexico and the various decor. Agave is spacious with lots of booths and tables, always very clean. They even have karaoke on Fridays. Their Jamaica and horchata are delicious. 5 stars!

    Hard to tell but beneath the microwaved top of these refried beans is black-burnt bean.

    Agave gets at 2.5 for decor and atmosphere. Service was a bit lacking; not terrible but I wouldn't describe any of the three servers that brought us chips & dips, drinks, and food respectively as being "attentive." I ordered the Plato Mexicano (#5) which comes with three (unspecified, so expect cheese) enchiladas, rice, refried beans, and 1 crispy beef taco. The short version is this: There are only two things of the above that I SUSPECT were fresh: the taco shell and the rice. Read on for details... Firstly, a plate that is too hot too touch is a great indicator that your about to eat a microwaved meal and so with that being said: the enchiladas were covered in sauce and cheese, as one may expect, but underneath all that sauce and cheese were bland and reheated enchiladas. When you don't reheat a corn tortilla properly, it becomes grainy and a little hard; these were exactly that. The crispy taco was tolerable although the ground beef was very overcooked, just completely dried out. I decided to move on to my side dishes and was met with further microwaved disappointment. When you overcook or reheat beans, or even let cool after cooking, they dry out and develop a thin hard layer on top. Freshly made beans are easily salvageable which only further proves that these were OLD & REHEATED. I'd still have been willing to turn a blind eye (tongue?) to this but as I dug deep into the beans to hopefully find something edible I was met with burnt black refried beans staring back at me. Having already put the fork-full in my mouth, I was afforded the additional sensation of tasting the disgusting thing. The beans were carbonized, charcoal-y: BURNT. I tasted the rice just to complete my disappointing lap around the plate. To turn a phrase from RoboCop with all the dryness of my enchiladas: "I'd buy that for a dollar." The cherry on top was that when we went to pay and conveyed that our meal was disappointing, we were compensated with a DISCOUNT. (triggered now) A f@#$ing discount? Are you kidding me?! For inedible beans, boring enchiladas, and an overcooked taco? If I hadn't of been starving I wouldn't have even eaten the damn taco (I only ate 1 enchilada and the taco, for those of you keeping score.) The God#$^ nerve to even offer a discount with all the sincerity of a snake oil salesman. Everyone is entitled to second chances but your money is better spent at TAQUERIA LA TAPATIA.

Parking was easy and plentiful. There is a side street that you can park up and along the way as well just be sure to leave any driveways open as trucks and other vendors gotta get in and park too/unload. Inside it is super spacious! We came in on a Sunday when the Cowboys were playing during the day and there must have been at least 50+ people inside watching on the large big screens and cheering the 'Boys on. Plenty of high table tops and plenty of seating for you to hang with you and your crew inside. Outside was a whole other world! There was corn hole, oversized Jenga blocks, and tables and shade. All of the seating and tables were super sturdy and brightly colored too! I love that I saw a lot of smaller kids running around, playing games, and overall enjoying the outside atmosphere. Lots of good gravel and grass to help pave your way to your seat or table of choice. When we were here there were at least 4 vendors selling food from hamburgers to BBQ. I really loved that we had several options for food and didn't have to go far. From what I understand from the family, who are regulars, there is always at least 1 vendor selling food on any given day or night. Drinks and service was amazing! The beer specials were especially nice for me and my wallet. I also loved that Brooster's has their own specialty cocktails or mixed drinks they promote on their colorful dry erase boards. We tried their Broosters Backyard Punch that was less than $3! It was delicious. Be sure to ask the nice friendly bartenders what they recommend and what is on special! They are reliable and legit recommendations too! Excited to come back thru in December for the next market and enjoy some more punch under the afternoon sun at Brooster's. This is a nice hidden gem in Southside San Antonio.

Right off the bat, you get this very cool dive bar feel. And when you walk inside that vibe is definitely cemented. It is definitely one of those places you would want to go and hang out with your friends. Have a drink, maybe shoot a game of pool or just hang it out. On Friday and Saturday nights I guess it's ladies night, and from what I am told this place is usually packed with the fairer sex. So if you are single and in San Antonio this is the place you want to go mingle. I have a full bar so don't feel like you have to settle for just beer, I have heard their margaritas are top knotch, and they usually have a food truck outside in case you get a case of the munchies. Out back is a great seating area when weather permits, and they also have a stage and a live band playing on the weekends. Plus they have vendors out there so it almost has more of a country fair atmosphere. Bottom line? I will definitely be hanging out at this place whenever I am in the San Antonio area. You definitely have to go check this one out for yourself!

The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and full of character, which makes it easy to settle in, have conversations, and spend real time there.

They had sandwiches already made in an icebox. When ordered, the guy put them in a waffle iron before serving. I had the Cubano, and let me tell you- it was the best one I have ever had. It was so crispy and delicious. My only comment is that it could have used a bit more mustard. I also had an iced Americano with Como La Flor syrup. That was a blend of lavender and blueberry and was house-made. It sounded awesome and delivered awesomeness in every sip. I will definitely be back. I have to try the waffle pressed peanut butter and jelly!
