    This was a great spot. My cousin recommended we come as it's one of her usual spots and we had a great time! The food was delicious and had huge portions for great prices!

    It's a 3 since it's not great not horrible. They did a great job with the atmosphere. Huge outdoor bar and lots of tables. One Pet peeve for me is to have an outdoor space with no atmosphere and this did have that. Dog friendly too! Ok, so free chips and salsa. Definitely meh. Salsa watery- chips thick. Anyway, service was actually good so maybe all those negative reviews had them change. I got a street tsci and a fish taco. Both were fine. Rather stuffed so not skimpy. The "steak" was remnant bits if other steak items usually a good real steak would be little cut up pieces or cubed. Nope. My husband got the trio enchilafs. He loves mole - this was ok. So overall, not running back but if set come back we know to set the bar lower. The only decent Mexican place was in downtown chs and I think they closed.

    Delicious food, wonderful service, fun ambiance! We have enjoyed dinner at Agaves Cantina a few times now. It is such a fun, friendly place. Staff are so welcoming and the food is abundant. I always order the Carne Asada, which is awesome! Ample parking too.

    Delicious food! Waiter was fast and attentive. We sat outside and the vibe was immaculate!

    Agaves Cantina Mexican cuisine | Mt. Pleasant, Sc 320 W Coleman Blvd unit p, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 Agaves Cantina - Mt. Pleasant, SC 3.9 out of 5 stars Agaves Cantina is one of those spots that immediately feels welcoming the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly, seating was quick, and the overall vibe makes it an easy choice when you're hungry and don't want to wait around. The menu offers a solid selection of classic Mexican-style dishes, and the atmosphere has that upbeat, casual energy that works well for lunch or an easy dinner stop. Now, here's where things got a little interesting. I went the healthier route and ordered a salad--which, let's be honest, isn't exactly what Mexican restaurants are known for. While they did offer a few good dressing options, the salad itself felt more like fajita meat and peppers tossed onto a bed of lettuce. Tasty? Yes. A little strange and not quite what I was expecting? Also yes. Points were definitely lost there. The chips and salsa were another mild letdown--perfectly fine, but bland and nothing you'd be telling your friends about later. Bottom line: Agaves Cantina is a solid choice for a quick lunch with good service, a relaxed atmosphere, and dependable Mexican flavors. Just maybe stick to the tacos or fajitas and leave the salad expectations at the door. Tik tok @we_stayed_there Online: www.westayedthere.com

    It was time to eat somewhere close to the hotel and I found myself enjoying the most delicious steak fajita quesadilla you'll find anywhere. Friendly service, cold beer while I enjoyed delicious chips and salsa while I waited for the entree. Curb appeal is on point and the two-sided bar was built for days like this. Comfortable room with plenty of sunlight and TVs at the bar. Food came quickly and I left completely satusfied and will be back again...maybe before I head back home on Thursday.

    Stopped in around 2pm on a Sunday for a late brunch. We were sat immediately and given fresh chips and salsa. The chips were warm and crispy! We both ordered a margarita which we loved. The mango one is pretty sweet but I really liked the regular lime margarita. Our server was awesome! We ordered the pork fajitas and my bf got the queso fundito with chorizo and the carne asada. Our food was so tasty and we had soo much leftover to take home! Next time we will be back for happy hour and will have to sit on the patio!

    Eh just a casual Mexican restaurant, nothing special. Mediocre service, non observant waitress appearing with no desire to be there. Food was okay but very greasy also forgot my tortillas with my fajitas and the waitress never came back till we were finished with our food. Honestly wouldn't come back or recommend.

    Carne verde amazing
    Craig D.

    Agave was a wonderful surprise! The service was exceptional both at the bar and with our server at the table, Wilbert. After a short wait, we got a table and were promptly seen. A manager checked in on us during the meal. The margaritas were made from scratch (not premade) and were delightful - At a $12 price point, it was exceptional value. A wide selection of beer on tap including all of the main Mexican brands. Wines were limited in selection and quality, but fine (wife doesn't like Rita's or beer). Chips and house salsa were delivered to the table. We had fresh guacamole and queso. The chicken enchiladas were served hot, moist and flavorful. The carnitas verde served with rice and beans was exceptional - great flavor profile, generous helping and moist. Our server, Wilbert, was wonderful. He offered suggestion and had a great sense of humor. Overall, Agave was a solid choice and some of the best Mexican in the area. The new restaurant is vibrant in color with open spaces and a modern decor. The agave harvest tools adorn one wall. TVs with sports at the bar. Outdoor seating and a garage opening. The service was excellent. The value was equally exceptional. It deserves a solid 5 stars.

    Fajitas+ mixings, marg pitcher, single taco

    Solid 3.5 What a perfect little bar date night especially for HH. Loved the indoor/outdoor option at the bar with plenty of TVs to watch the game. We got a skinny margarita and a spicy one. The spicy came with a delicious rim that added to the favor. We were asked if we wanted free chips and salsa which came quickly, nothing to write home about but they would always give us more when we asked. Great place for sharing a pitcher of margs, some chips and a taco or 2. Solid food, average service, cute vibe

    Large interior dining area!
    Wendy F.

    Ease of parking, an energetic bar and a large, bright and inviting dining area did not save this mediocre experience. For me, when it comes down to it, it's really all about the food and service. A basket of room temperature, tasteless chips and a small dish of watery salsa were brought to our table immediately after we were seated and our server quickly arrived to take our drink order ... a skinny margarita for me and one of the drafts for my hub. The drinks came quickly. My marg was underwhelming. While large, it had no buzz, was neither ice cold, nor refreshing, but rather, disappointedly underwhelming. Our selections were simple ... no starters, a bowl of Chicken Tortilla Soup for me and the Tacos de Alambre for hub. The food arrived quickly. The taco dish placed in front of Joe was missing the meat, beans and rice that he was expecting. Huh? It was a plate with three tiny sized tacos, each topped with a spoonful of pico de gallo, a few slivers of nopale, some queso fresco and two slices of avocado. I called over our server, questioned what he was served and reiterated my husband's order (which she correctly repeated when the orders were taken). She disputed and said that he ordered the Nopales. I nicely told her that Nopales did not sound like Alambre. Clearly irritated, she picked up his plate and told him the Alambre would take about 15 minutes. OK. (I am not a 'shrinking violet' in these situations.) My soup was served barely lukewarm so Joe insisted that I start while he waited for his order. I did not want to send it back as it had lots of avocado and did not want to take a chance that they would just re-heat it and not remake it. Perhaps, a mistake on my part. The bowl had an ample amount of chicken and rice and yes, the photo is beautiful ... but, the watery broth was in no way the rich chicken broth I was expecting (as cited on the menu) and was void of seasoning. Oh, well. Joe's dish arrived, maybe 5 minutes later. Unlike the business photo, again, the topping on each tiny taco shell was a mere large spoonful (I know my photo is deceiving). And, what was described as grilled steak with bacon, chorizo, onions and peppers was actually the thinnest morsels of steak mixed with the meats and vegetables. The grease permeating the taco shell made it downright nasty when picking it up to eat. The rice was tasty, a decent portion ... and the beans were good, albeit, a portion that could have been larger, considering the amount of liquid in the small bowl. The server never asked if we wanted another round of beverages. The check arrived and to our dismay, the Nopales (as well as the Alambre) was included. When I took it up front to remove, they asked if we received it. I told them that the Nopales was not ordered and returned to the kitchen. Begrudgingly, it was removed and I was handed a revised check. It was not a good experience and in an area with many Mexican restaurants that do this cuisine well, we both had higher expectations.

    There are many local great options for Mexican food in the area. This is one of the newer ones. Busy during lunch and dinner hours with a clean environment. The food for us is a hit or miss depending on what you order. The beans and rice do not have much flavor. The tacos are the best thing here after trying several dishes. For the area the price point is probably about right, but Agaves is very pricey in my opinion. The menu is full of choices and great items, but plan to spend more than you would at other local Mexican food places.

    happy hour!! crowded beyond!!! lowcountry boil & frozen…read morearnold palmer to ring in the night!! service great. drinks great.

    Tonight I had a very distasteful and disturbing experience in Reds restaurant/bar. I was charged…read morefor drinks I did not order, and as I was closing out for the drinks I did not order, I was told I was being kicked out. Given no chance to explain that I did not order or receive any of the extra drinks on my tab, and no chance to reason with anyone who had the decency to listen. The story is as follows: I had accidentally left my credit card upstairs with the bartender after I opened a tab, and then moved downstairs for a table reservation. After dinner, I realized this had happened and asked the bouncer if I could go back upstairs to collect my card and close my tab (moving past a line to do so). I waited about 3 minutes to speak with the bartender upstairs, which is not an unreasonable amount of time, and as I was closing I was tapped on the shoulder by a bouncer and told I was "taking too long", and that I "had to go". Mind you I was still in good standing prior to this interaction. I was then escorted downstairs to where my family was sitting, and still nobody had the thought that maybe I was telling the truth and actually did have a table downstairs, even as it was right in front of them... Not only this, but Reds also does not have a working customer support email. It was such disturbing treatment of a paying and respectful customer. Both overcharging and removing my group without any explanation. Safe to say I won't be returning to this poorly run establishment.

    Tavern & Table was such a great experience! The interior decor was really well thought out -- even…read morethe ladies room was beautifully done. We sat inside late afternoon and loved the atmosphere. We started with the Pineapple Martini and the T&T Martini (olive oil washed vodka, vermouth & blue cheese stuffed olives). Both were completely different but equally delicious! For dinner, my sister had the Brisket Mac & Cheese and I ordered the Shrimp & Grits. Both dishes were absolutely awesome. Everything was so flavorful that no extra salt or pepper was needed. The shrimp & grits had the perfect spicy kick -- seriously delicious. We skipped dessert, but the highlight afterward was spotting a dolphin swimming through the channel. Such a perfect ending to a really enjoyable meal. Definitely recommend! Shout out to the ladies at Trader Joe's for the recommendation.

    Was there with 3 girlfriends to share some apps and dinner before a boat ride. Place was beautiful,…read morewe requested to sit over by windows, but was told there were reservations, though we had a reservation as well, it made no difference. The area we requested was empty our entire time there. Hostess tried to seat us outside in a crowded corner, we requested indoors, so we were seated next to the kitchen. Our waitress was friendly, brought our drinks quickly and took our orders. We specifically requested apps and dinner not be on top of each other. As we were finishing our apps a waiter/ busboy came with meals. I asked, "Could you clear these dirty plates?" " Not with my hands full" l was told. So our dirty plates, silverware, left over food and dirty table now also held our meals. Yuck! Food wise there were many nice choices and the restaurant was beautiful. Service wise l can do without a smug kid who doesn't understand how to do his job. The place was not busy and if our experience is typical of their service l can understand why.
