    Chicken and steak fajitas
    Alaina S.

    Went here around 9:30 on a week-night. Pleasantly surprised that it was open. The margarita was good but the fajitas were amazing! Both the chicken and steak had amazing flavor. Even the veggies were super good. There was just the right amount of char from the skillet. The chips and salsa were also very tasty. The staff was super attentive and friendly even when they were starting to get ready to close. We will be back here the next time we are in Merced.

    Food delicious as always, service was excellent, and the ambiance was fantastic. They always seem to have a game on from college to pro sports. I recommend you try el molcajete mix.

    Burrito Mojado - wet burrito

    Not a bad choice at all. We like going here. This place is, I guess an upscale Mexican restaurant.?. It's very clean, the employees wear a uniform, everything looks nice. Once seated they bring you chips, salsa and beans. How cool is it that? They bring beans! It's smart too because beans are cheap and you only get a little tiny portion of them. If you're a bean lover like me, you are going to mow through the first (free) bowl and ask for a refill, and that's where they get ya. It's $2 for a refill. Smart! Give out that first hit for free and then rake in refill money. The food is really good and large portions. This last visit I got the Burrito Mojado with grilled chicken, delicious. I can never finish half in one sitting. Definitely check this place out for some upscale Mexican dining. Except to spend $25+ a person. It's worth it, but not budget friendly.

    We met friends on Sunday for brunch just before Noon. Service was quick. Food was ok. Portion size was great. Music was blaring loud so we couldn't hear each other without yelling - I asked about turning the music down and the service complied. Ringer on the telephone was too loud - very distracting for a social atmosphere.

    Great food and even better dessert. I have not had deep fried ice cream in a long time and it really hit the spot. The only reason I did not give full 5 stars is because service was a tad slower than usual and had to ask different individuals for refills and order dessert. Otherwise would have gotten full five stars.

    Found this restaurant on Yelp while in Merced for a conference. Came in and the servers were so kind and friendly. They made sure to check in with us multiple times, got every thing we needed, and took care of our little one. We ordered chicken nuggets & fries, Machaca, and Chilaquiles. The food was yummy! The people were amazing and the food matched. Wish we lived closer to come back sooner. Until next time!

    I've gotten lunch here a few times but always to go. This time, we got dinner and sat in. We beat the dinner rush. We were seated fairly quickly and served with chips, salsa, and beans. We ordered and food came out fairly quickly. Portions are very big and shareable. It was enough for us to take home. Food was delicious. My boyfriend would not stop talking about it. We've gone back and will continue to do so. Can't wait to see them open across the plaza at their bigger location.

    While in Merced, our niece invited us to her favorite Mexican restaurant, @Agaves Mexican Grill. She's young so, I didn't give it much thought. Well.... First of all, ALL the staff were great!! Super nice, very accommodating, even though we were the only people outside, they were constantly checking on us. It was great!! The food came out quick, it was very hot and very good. I really wanted to post about Agaves because the staff was incredible!!! Seriously. The food was very good too. I truly suggest that you stop by Agaves Mexican Grill if you're in the area, as I know you won't be disappointed.

    chile relleno (ala carte)
    corina l.

    hi! visited this restaurant once before few years ago. visited recent a week ago. had lunch i ordered alacarte because it was a very warm day and i had a long drive back home... i asked for a side salad the waitress never mentioned my alacarte ' Relleno! came with a side salad n sliced orange. so although my lunch was good and only like to give honest positive reviews i have to be honest with customer service for a bit of improvement! next time i order lunch alacarte i would like to be told my Chile relleno comes with a salad versus a big side salad that costs just as much as my "1" relleno i would have ordered the plate for the total cost. i didn't eat my side salad took it to go! lots of waitresses and friendly service but as much attn to our table i would of preferred less interruption while eating and more efficient communication with the order taker abt what items on menu come with. clean restaurant fast service and relleno was good it's a favorite of mine and i like to try at different places. sauce was similar to enchilada sauce. tasty but not the usual sauce on top of relleno that we have in my city. thank you for the pleasant and cleanliness & service. i plan to come back again i should probably ask waitress more questions next time and not so rushed would of been nice. regards, ty!

    5 mini tacos. Carne asada and Al pastor
    Rosie M.

    Today it is 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside, and my nephew wanted Mexican. So we drove to Agaves Mexican Grill. On a Sunday afternoon, we arrived at noon, and there were several open parking spaces close to the restaurant, which was great because it was lunchtime and there are several other restaurants located close in the area. We walked in and were seated right away. Unfortunately, it was so busy that it took them over 45 minutes before we were able to place our order, which was not really fun when we had a super hungry toddler and we were trying to keep him occupied. I ordered the five mini tacos with three of the tacos being carne Asada and two of the tacos being Al Pastor with all the toppings on the side so that my toddler can choose what he wants to eat. The tacos were OK because I ordered different animal meats. The tacos were not set at the combo price. They were set at the price of individual tacos. I would return only if I had to come back with family. I would choose giving this restaurant 3.5 stars but that's not an option so I'm giving four stars since my nephew liked it.

    Wet Burrito

    Great Mexican restaurant! We were driving through the area after a day of hiking in Yosemite, looking for a delicious and filling meal, and they didn't disappoint. We were seated right away, despite it being pretty busy for a Wednesday night. Our waitress brought over chips, salsa, and refried bean dip immediately and took our drink order. The menu is full of classic favorite dishes, as well as a few more unique ones and seafood. I ordered the grilled chicken wet burrito with green sauce. I really enjoyed it! It was giant and packed full of chicken chunks, beans, and rice. On top was melted cheese and a smothering of sweet green sauce. I could only eat half of it since it was so large and filling, so I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. For the amount of food and the tasty quality, the price was also very reasonable.

    I came here solely for Chilaquiles. My in-laws mentioned how delicious they were and I had to come…read moretry them. We walked in and even though it's small, most of the tables were full. You know the food's gonna be good when there are Mexican grandmas eating breakfast there. We were brought chips with three different types of salsa. All were good but just different. The chips were amazing. Warm and crunchy. Our meals came out quickly and the chilaquiles were perfect: great sauce, the toppings were just right, the chips were still crunchy and not soggy. The beans were good. I do not speak on rice because I just don't love any Spanish rice. Overall, an excellent meal. We will be back.

    Order: Shrimp Burrito with Carne Asada it came with chips and 3 different salsas…read more This was an outstanding burrito! I cannot express how good everything really was from top to bottom on the burrito. Carne asada was light, not chewy, seasoned well enough. Shrimp tasted like it was just freshly cooked. Tortilla was super thin and light, but held surprisingly well. Rice, which I often hate, was excellent. The Smokey chipotle sauce that comes with it was outstanding! On top of that all of their chips are VERY good. Salas had to of been made that day. They were spicy and exactly what I had hoped for in a salsa. Service was solid, my burrito was piping hot. I'd consider this place to be much more like a hole in the wall type business. They aren't big on the thrills, but man they deliver on the food. Burrito: 8.6/10 DEFINITELY will be back!
