    Birria tacos
    Thiago D.

    Great little gem in Passaic for authentic Mexican food. Make sure to bring cash as they don't accept cards, but no worries if you forget because they do have an ATM inside. There is Mexican decor everywhere, so you really feel like you're in Mexico when you step inside! Servers are friendly and food comes out pretty quick. We went with the large guacamole and it was a good starter. Birria tacos are delicious and highly recommended. If you order the chicken quesadillas like I did you might not even need a starter because I was absolutely stuffed with the 3 pieces it came with. Tasty though!

    It's taco Tuesday! It's starting to feel a bit more like spring now a days so hubby and I went to try this spot that my friend Sheila recommended. Overall the place is beautiful. It's spacious and has all kinds of Mexican art on the walls. No one really greeted us upon entering so we went to where the bar area was and asked if we could just sit anywhere. We went straight to the bathrooms soon after sitting down and being given menus. I really appreciate a clean bathroom especially during these times and they had a Fabuloso clean smelling one ;) We came for the $1 tacos and the hype of how good they were. I ordered two steak and two chorizo. They were delicious! Definitely made my Mexican heart happy. My husband had two steak, two cabeza (tender cow head meat), and one chicken. He had me try the cabeza ones and they were so tender we had to take some to go. One thing I didn't really appreciate was that our server didn't really introduce herself. It would have been nice to know her name. Would of made the experience a bit more amicable. She never once asked how we were liking it or what we thought. Or if we needed anything else. She had about 5 or 6 tables so she seemed busy but still no excuse. I used to be a waitress but I learned that just communicating a bit more will go a very long way. It felt like we were telling her what to do next every step of the way until we left. Her attitude about that was not very good either she seemed annoyed by us. Overall I enjoyed the food and the space despite the lack of service. I will definitely be back and recommend to my friends and family. How can you beat the $1 tacos! We ended up getting 14 tacos all together and two drinks for $20. Very affordable.

    The best dollar taco I have ever tasted so far. I keep coming back! My fav taco to order are the chorizo and bistec ones. And you also have the option to order the taco with one tortilla since they normally come with two. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is that they only accept cash.

    Live music plus dollar tacos? You can't go wrong with either or. The tacos are truly worth the $1 dollar. They also have different Mexican drinks, where the cantarito is one of their best. It's a combination of juices with some light tequila, sprinkled with Mexican spicy candy on the edges. Definitely recommend visiting this place if you're around the area

    Tacos were good but the service was awful, I ordered over $100 in tacos since I was having a get together with my family, I asked for onions & nopales but the only thing I received was tacos no nopales & no onions.

    I'm really not the one to give a 1 star review but I had to…read more I came in to agave for Valentine's Day with my lady and we had a reservation which first off we weren't on the list but got seated anyways. We were then told which I believe should've been the owner or manager we had to move to a different table and he'll give us a free margarita on the house. Our waiter arrived to wipe down the table because the table we were changed to was dirty and we put in a order for drinks and a appetizer and asked if she can come back in 5 minutes to take our main dish order. It took over 20 minutes to get our drink and our waiter quickly rushed away and this was the last interaction we had and got checked up on from this point. Keep in mind we got seated at 8:15 PM and we got our drinks around 8:45. From this point no one came up to us to put in our entree order and me and my date were starving and our waiter was serving others around us but was completely ignoring us and rushing away. Finally after 9:30 PM after more than 1 hour of not receiving our appetizer we put or nor our waiter putting in our main dish I asked for the check for the 2 drinks I ordered and left. Never have I ever gotten up from a restaurant table and left because of bad service and I been here at this spot couple times and even on holidays and never received this treatment. The manager then gave us complimentary appetizer and dessert but at this point I wanted to leave and did not even touch it. I shouldn't have to complain and ask for my check for you guys to finally give what I wanted. On top of that we never got the free drinks we were promised. Thanks agave for messing up my valentines date night, we ended up eating Wendy's 10 piece chicken nuggets and fries that were given to us in 2 minutes.
