Pretty decent Mexican food in Altoona. The space is good after a nice remodel but it is very loud in there. There was a birthday party and a TV playing loud music while we dined. The service is good and we had a quick turn around from ordering, but we went at an off hour. I had the steak, chicken, shrimp quesadilla with rice. It was good and the portions are enormous.
Hands down the very best Mexican food Iowa has to offer. The chips are crispy, warm, and fresh. The cheese dip is flavorful and not watered down. The food is well prepared and I appreciate that it seems to take a few more minutes than the typical fast food speed at other similar restaurants. The service is attentive and feels genuine. Good people. Great food.
**Casa Agave - Good food, mixed results** The dining areas offer vast open rooms with lots of light and plenty of space for big parties. Our experience at Casa Agave was a bit of a mixed bag. The service was excellent, and our host was friendly and attentive. The Texas fajitas were cooked perfectly and the shrimp was delicious. The birria tacos were a delicious surprise. The pitcher of margaritas was refreshing, though very light on the alcohol. They were really pushing their $16 margaritas... Unfortunately, the chips were a disappointment - some were fresh and crispy, while others were stale. The salsa was also very mild, lacking in flavor. Overall, the food was good, but not exceptional. Would return for the fajitas and tacos, but would probably notify the staff about the stale chips next time.
This place has been open more than a month. The food is good, but the service is still problematic. My wife arrived before I did today. She asked for 2 waters. She was brought 1 glass of water and 2 straws. She asked someone else for another water. Only after I showed up and she asked again did they bring out another water. Then we ordered. She ordered a cheese enchilada and a side of rice. I ordered my "usual," which is a vegetable fajita with chicken added (I like the vegetables). Someone had to come out and confirm or clarify my order. I've probably ordered this dish at this restaurant 3 of the last 4 Friday nights. I repeated exactly the same order I gave the waiter and that seemed to be good enough. Then the food came out, and we had absolutely no complaints about the taste, texture, or presentation. However, once we were done we were in for a wait. After waiting more than 15 minutes after the dishes were cleared, we still had no bill and the waiter had not come back to the table. While we were waiting, I kept watching the other waiters going back and forth to the tables they were working. I also noticed some distinctive glasses on the bar from a couple that paid and left at least half an hour earlier. I couldn't help noticing that another couple at the table next to us was also having an issue. One of their entrees was brought to the table, but the other was not. Enough time passed that the person who didn't receive his food decided to cancel his order. At that point, we decided to go to the cash register to pay. The person working the cash register could not find our bill in the system until our waiter eventually came over to help find it. We have eaten here at least half a dozen times (probably more than that) because my wife loves the food. Every time we've eaten here, the food has been delicious but there has been some kind of issue with the service. Today she told me we don't have to go back.
The best Mexican place in Altoona - new location and the staff is incredibly friendly and sweet. Our service is amazing, and we judge highly the salsa and chips. It is incredibly and their queso speaks for itself. The food is delicious and we've been back many times, it's lovely the amount of space they have for seating and that it is spread out, allowing me to be able to hear my date and the large windows make for great people watching. I highly recommend everyone tries out Casa Agave!!!
Service was top notch, food fast & fresh, drinks = tipsy. First time but definitely not the last. I know there are a lot of Mexican options and a lot are the "same" but sometimes "one" just stands out.
Please be advised that they use soy protein in their "ground beef." TVP is reconstituted soy protein that you add water to. TVP looks like extremely fine ground beef, much too fine to be a real meat product. I was wondering why my beef taco was leaking water and enchilada had no flavor. I'm highly allergic to soy & this almost landed me in the hospital with extreme digestive issues. Apparently this TVP is common in restaurants here. It's the texture of Alpo canned dog food. Hope this saves someone a lot of grief.

We've been looking for a New Mexican place. I feel many just opened in our area so have Casa Agave a try. This place is usually busy, but quick and attentive. There's a bar you can sit it or tables. Mexican music is on the radio and TVs. They bring chips and salsa and we ordered the queso dip. Always delicious and huge. My son got the seafood and rice. It's a lot but he can eat it. I think I'll get the pineapple fajitas every time. Made two more meals for me as leftovers. So good and delicious. I'll be back and you should too!!! read more
Service was excellent, went on a Saturday for lunch. Salsa is delicious with a hint of some actual spice as opposed to tomatoes in a bowl. I've seen some complaints about the chips on Yelp- I can say our chips were perfect and crispy. Could have used a little more salt but that's why you have salt on your table. Got the taco platter- see photo for taco types. Tacos were excellent and portion size was impressive for the price. Cheese dip was good. Could have used more heat, but that is a personal preference. I think most will find it perfect. I think there was some sort of a party going on while we were there but we didn't notice the extra noise. House margaritas were okay, light on the tequila, but good for the price. Two meals, cheese dip and a pitcher of margs was around $60. Will defiantly be back. read more

Really good food - I had the fajita quesadilla, and it was delicious! They had no problem substituting ground beef for the chicken in my husband's enchiladas - he really enjoyed them. The service was excellent! Sad to see Claxxons go, but I'm glad another good restaurant took its place read more
