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. read more

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. read more

Bad food. All is a big joke. What a deception. Who knows what oil they use for their chips, their cheap meat. It has been our first time eating their food and is not even close to what you see in the pictures posted on social media, like on Instagram. Fake fake fake and poor quality, the steam vegetables seemed like they came from a microwave bag, the broccoli didn't even have the florets, the steak was more gristle than meat. How can they still be in business? Why to lie! Poor quality and expensive. read more

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. read more

Agaves Cantina - Carne Asada - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Service was great and food was good. The only issue we had was that we ordered a queso fundito that was pretty expensive and was absolutely a bowl of soup that had a lil meat in the bottom that we had to literally hold a plate under your chin to keep from it running all over your clothes. We asked the server and she said it was correct, which anyone who has had it knows better:-) would go back but skip the soup read more

Restaurant had great food, fast service & fun place. Outside bar was really cool .

Agaves Cantina - Chimichanga and Treasure of Agaves Margarita - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Excellent food. Tacos are delicious and husband a a big salad which looked great. Lot is options on the menu and everything tasted fresh.

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

Agaves Cantina - Dinner outside on the patio - Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Food is good, staff is amazing. Our waitress Dalila is quite possibly the best waitress I have ever experienced at any restaurant. Super attentive! The only negative are the frozen margaritas. They should invest in a machine instead of a blender. read more

So good! Service was great and everything came out quick. Started off the chips and salsa which was good, followed by their queso (cheese dip) and that was so good! Got the street and gringo tacos, with chicken, carnitas, and beef. Everything was fresh and just really good! read more

I had been to the Daniel Island location once before, but this one is way better! Brand new modern interior, and a large, super nice staff. Prices are very reasonable and this place will fill you up for sure. We like to get the fajitas for 1 and share it between the two of us; it's more than enough! Margaritas are good too read more

I've been here a few times now--service is always excellent and the food never disappoints. The Pepe's burrito is an all-time favorite of mine! read more

Beautiful renovation of the space and fantastic theming. From the parking lot to the bathrooms they really did a number on what came before Agaves. There is ample patio seating and beautiful clay pots with fresh landscape to buffer the roadway and parking that transform the area to a tropical/Spanish influenced hideaway. The reclaimed wooden ceiling beams and the cute agave plants that light up the doorway, the hand painted stoneware and the painted ceramic tiles of the bathroom walls. Care went into decorating this space. There is ample bar space-- the inside opens up to the outside as they share the bar and the walls roll up to serve guests outside, making for an open space. read more

Fantastic! The street tacos (steak and chorizo) were amazing and the seafood enchiladas were excellent too! The beans and rice were done correctly and the margaritas are delicious and pack a punch. Even my kids finished their entire plates. The ambiance is nice too. Decent service. What more could you want? read more

If you want authentic Mexican, this isn't it! Place looks cute and inviting but the food is basic at best. Very disappointing so was the mango margarita! Very sad experience read more

Stopped in for a lunch while on vacation. The service was on point, friendly and attentive. Food was average, the street tacos didn't have a lot of flavor. The fajita quesadilla had fresh vegetables and good guacamole. It was a pretty busy scene for lunch, people eating inside and outside. Upbeat ambiance. Would I come back? Probably not. read more

Salsa was not great-we ordered queso which was not hot so that makes it hard to dip chips in. Shrimp tacos were not good either they need flavor. read more

Pretty much everything you want in your local Mexican restaurant- the menu, the food, the service are all good, they're not trying to do anything more than offer a pleasant, family Mexican food experience and it delivers. Great staff and they did a good job on the design and vibe. read more

The ambiance was beautiful. All the details like the blue tiles in the center of the table, the garage door open in front of the bar, the lighting, very clean, and great music! The food was DELICIOUS, free chips and salsa AND the chips were definitely in-house made, fresh and hot. Our waitress was so sweet and made the experience that much better. Very attentive without being overly so. I think she had glasses on I wish I got her name! Anyway we will definitely be back soon!!!! read more

GREAT quesadilla! Service was good too. Sat at the bar area on the outside part of it. I live nearby and haven't had a bad meal yet.

We tried this restaurant for the first time after we couldn't get on the Shim Creek because of the overwhelming traffic when we walked in, it was so noisy. I asked if we could sit outside at the bar and we did. The waitress took our order I had to draft beer my wife had a margarita. They were fine. Ordered the tilapia ceviche appetizer combination for dinner my wife ordered I believe fish tacos when the bartender or the waiter brought the ceviche. It was shrimp ceviche not what I make shrimp ceviche all the time Before the ceviche but we ate the ceviche first I almost sent that back to because cold ceviche was served on a hot plate the states the plates are hot because they're clean. I explained them you can't serve cold food on a hot plate out of the dishwasher. Warm ceviche was not appetizing, but it was tasty. The dishes were fine you think after a mistake they may have bought us a drink or something like that. With all the other Mexican restaurants in Mount Pleasant I don't know how soon I'd be return. read more

They opened a new location in Summerville SC - it was awful. I can't write a review for this location because they don't have a website and yelp doesn't have this location listed. I've lived in Mexico so I know the joy of eating various Mexican dishes that are full of flavor with spices that come together and puts a smile on your face. This location in Summerville is not such a place. My wife ordered a margarita that had no tequila and no salt on the glass rim (which she specifically asked for). She ordered shrimp in garlic sauce - no garlic in it - not a trace. I ordered steak fajitas with corn tortillas - absolutely no flavor - none and the steak was tough - and my tortillas were flour. We ordered shrimp ceviche to start - no flavor - not even hit of lime no salt...(and it was brought to the table at the same time as the "hot" food), dinner for two was $87 - a wasteof money and and a lost opportunity for the new Agave location in Summerville to build a word of mouth following. If you want in Mexican look fir a "taco truck" - really! read more

They left out the flour tortillas but delivered them to our door. The food was amazing and they more than made up for the error. Keith read more

The food has gotten progressively worse! Makes me so sad because I loved riding my bike here. The beans were all runny and like dog food. I took one bite of my chicken taco and said it wasn't good. The bartender did not seem surprised. We have been there a few times and it's just NOT good. read more

Read a lot of the reviews for this place and was really not wanting to try it based on what I read here...I was wrong. First off, Ciro, our server, was one of the best most attentive, friendly servers we have ever had. He was gracious and prompt and explained all the options. My daughter and I Shared the Fajita texanas... (shrimp, chicken and beef). The serving size for one was HUGE! The taste was good, not spectacular, but good. The shrimp were the winner though... cooked were the size of silver dollars. Wife had the street tacos of chicken, with the green sauce...very good. The black beans were like my mom's..very flavorful. Last daughter had the the chimichanga chicken and you get two! Again Good size and servings. The queso was bland and needed salt and the salsa was pretty thick but good flavor. No alcohol, but other tables were talking about good margarita. Over all Large portions and if get Ciro, you are in for a treat read more
