    Fish tacos, with a side of guacamole
    Jannet C.

    Ive been there a couple of times, and they were both good experiences. I like it that they are conveniently located close to my work in Arbutus and close to the UMBC area. The staff are friendly and the food is good. The first time I went there, I got fish tacos. It came with 2 tacos for 6$. I liked it, bc the fish was cooked to order, it came out fresh, hot and tasty. The only thing is that I would have liked it better if the fish was left whole pieces and not chopped up to crumbs. The second time I went there, was for taco Tuesday, when you can get beef, pork, or chicken tacos for only 1.25$. That is an excellent price. However, I felt that the chicken and pork were a bit dry, and did not taste freshly made. It tasted like it was made ahead of time and put into shells when ordered. Still, they were flavorful and were a good value. They have a lot of other scrumptious looking items on their menu, like fajitas, quesadillas, flautas, chimichangas, and other Tex Amex specialties that I'm looking forward to try, so I'll definite be back for my next Mexican lunch.

    The grease is on us, Happy Cinco de Mayo!
    Danielle H.

    It's a dreary, rainy Cinco de Mayo so I decided to stay close to home. I figured I'd see what kinda deals they had at a non-chain restaurant. Since I'd been here in the past and it was decent, I stopped in. It was dinner time, but nobody was inside, all the chairs were put up, etc. No surprise at all because the weather was horrible out. I'm a pretty plain eater and there weren't many specials, but they did have a 3 taco deal for $5. I tried to order 3 beef tacos, but was told the special was only for 1 beef, 1 pork, and 1 roasted chicken taco. Oooo-k, I still went ahead and ordered all beef tacos. No pico, just taco sauce on the side. When my order came, there was only 1 taco sauce, but they gave me another one when I asked. I noticed there was barely enough cheese for 1 taco spread across all 3 tacos so I asked for more. They told me it would be 25 cents more. Look at the pic and read my last sentence again. No, ur eyes aren't deceiving you. Maybe they were trying to recoup their losses due to bad Cinco de Mayo weather I told them to forget it and took the tacos as is. And that was before I noticed the nice sized pool of grease in the corner of my container. This place has definitely gone down since the last time I was here. Then, only the customer service was lacking. That wasn't so great this time either. The poor quality of the food added this time leaves me no choice but to give it 1 star...and that's being generous.

    Chips & Guacamole
    Ian A.

    If you like good Mexican food this is the place for you. I've been here twice the first was a pickup and yesterday we went in to eat. I got the shrimp burrito with all the fixings with guacamole inside my first eating from there. It was delicious! It had lettuce, tomato black beans, rice , marinated shrimp and guacamole. It comes with the option of hot or mild salsa on the side and of course I chose hot. Yesterday we decided to go and get a burrito and decided to sit down and eat instead. The lady who took our order was very nice and because I did not know what I wanted after looking at the menu. I saw that they had churros but they didn't have them yesterday so I was sad so next time I go I will get one. As I said before this is my second time eating from here and the shrimp burrito was my go-to. It was a nice flow of coming in and out while there. I also ordered chips and guacamole and a funnel cake to go. The chips were nice and crunchy and the guacamole was creamy and well flavored. However I did not get to eat the funnel cake because my boyfriend got to it first and he said it was really good LOL.

    Steak fajitas
    Karen Y.

    I had high hopes after reading all the positive reviews on this place and I wanted to support the local business nearby. First off, they no longer serve rotisserie chicken. I should've left when I found that out. Instead I got the steak fajitas, yucca fries and pork sopes. The yucca fries are not cut pieces of real yucca. They're like weird sweet dough mixed with yucca flavor fries. The fajitas was overly salted and the sopes were lacking in flavor despite the fact it was so heavily topped. Generally speaking it was oily, salty, and not very flavorful as I hoped. I will not be coming back, I would rather drive out instead.

    New to the area and wanted some tacos so i found this place on yelp. Decided to get SOPAS (pictured). Got it with beef and the whole meal was kinda greasy. Only could stomach half of one. wasn't really any flavor even after adding pico de gallo on both of them for 50 cents extra. I would go back and try something else. There were no take out menus. I asked for one, then 2 guys came in after me and asked the same and walked out.

All of which, in my experience, adds up to a blinking neon "GOOD EATIN'" sign. And it is. The house salsa is fresh and flavorful, the chips are warm, the entree portions are filling and flavorful. Fajitas-- good; burrito-- good; guac-- good; salsas-- good; enchiladas-- good; churros-- good; esquites-- good; ribeye-- good. Their black beans in particular are delightful-- I would buy a pint or two to take home if I could. When I suggest Mexican, my wife's first question is always "El Agave??" And I'm almost always happy to assent. We've been here dozens of times; this review is long-overdue. If you are looking for San Diego-class Mexican, where every part of every dish is on the verge of collapsing under the weight of its own flavor, you're in the wrong place. Normally I'd give 4 stars. But El Agave earns its 5th just by being *comfortable*. It's reliable, no-miss, well-portioned, well-priced, quite tasty, nearby, and it's served promptly with a smile. You won't go wrong here-- and like the Terminator, you'll be back.

The exterior looks worn down and unassuming. The interior is small but was able to accommodate our party. The service was good, with both bartenders taking turns serving our table. I ordered happy hour chips and queso, and the queso felt very unfresh and can-like. They only offer one basket of chips & salsa complimentary per the menu but we were a party of 5 and received two. My happy hour app was rung up as regular price. The hard shell bean tacos I ordered had very little beans in them and only beans, no other toppings. There was lettuce, tomato, and cheese on the plate on the side, so I had to dress my own tacos. They tasted okay, not great, not bad. The $6 Monday margaritas are for the 12 oz and are made strong. It's a $1 more for a flavor and $1 more for a larger size (16 oz). The men's bathroom is small and had two urinals that are right next to the bathroom door. I will probably stick with my usual spot in Laurel, called Chido's.

Each reservation is for 2 hrs. You get to order as much as you want from their brunch menu. Servings are tapas style. The style reminds me of the old cava brunch style. While here I had the following: French toast- nicely cooked. Loved the flavor and blueberry and whipped toppings. Steak and eggs- evenly cooked and prepped to perfection. I loved the chimi sauce on top of the steak. Chicken taquitos- packs a punch. Crisp and deelish. Birria Quesadilla-meaty and adequately cooked. Loved the serving size. Spicy Bloody Maria- very boozy and did not disappoint. Would've loved some horseradish in it as well. Our server Taylor was awesome. She was on top of service and had a great personality. The manager Dixon came over to greet our table. He let us know that in addition to the upstairs, they have a barcade speakeasy in the basement. We checked that out on this visit as well.
