    Nachos Fajitas
    Nishant N.

    We wanted to have lunch so we went to Agaves Cantina. The local recommended it, and they greeted us at the door and got us settled at a table. The ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful. Fernando was our server, and he brought out the menus. After talking with him, we decided on the Pollo A La Creme, Quesadilla Fajita, and Nachos Fajita. The server bought out some chips and salsa, which was a great start to our lunch. Both the chips and salsa were delicious, and everyone in our group enjoyed them. The server brought us out all our dishes, and they were all really well-made, delicious, and perfect lunch options. There was definitely enough food to go around for everyone in our group. Agaves Cantina is a beautiful restaurant with delicious and high-quality food.

    We came across this place while we were in the area and decided to have dinner there before going back to the hotel. It wasn't busy on an early Sunday evening. We were seated outside right away and looked over the menu before our waiter came. The chips and salsa is a complimentary appetizer. We got a side of queso for an additional charge. The margarita was a nice kick to the meal. I got the combination plate and went with the two tacos filled with chicken and steak. It came with black beans and rice. Everything was flavorful and great. The service was quick and our friendly waiter made sure we had everything we wanted. We were able to enjoy our food and got refills when needed on the chips and drinks. I wouldn't mind coming here if I'm in the area again.

    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.

    Carne verde amazing

    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.

    Carne Asada

    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.

    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.

    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

    Fajita sides

    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.

    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.

    Fajitas+ mixings, marg pitcher, single taco
    Regina S.

    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

Our waitress was fantastic - sweet, attentive, and made the whole experience better. Overall, a reliable spot for seafood in the area. We'd come back, especially for the fries and friendly service!

The Mac and cheese was also not cheesy enough. It tasted like it came from a box unfortunately. The sweet potato fries were great.
