    Chicken street tacos!
    Mark V.

    Amazing little gem in downtown Freehold Boro across from Rita's Ice. Very authentic and delicious Mexican food! The menu is so extensive! I can't believe I've missed this place for so long! You must go here if you're in the area, there's several other Mexican places that are all good also in the same town, but this one is a must try! You'll love the ambience. Once you step inside, really cute, colorful decorations, everywhere! The menu was great. You could first of all order almost any side. You can imagine including cheese. The food here though is over-the-top incredible! Any of the street tacos are gonna be incredible! I love the complementary chips and salsa, they bring three other sauces on the side as well. You're gonna be blown away here! The beef tatadas were fantastic! So were the chicken street tacos! I need to go back and try some of their burritos, and all their other food too! You could see all the reviews are five stars here so I wouldn't hesitate get this on your list and make sure you come! Highly recommended if you're in the Freehold area for top-notch, authentic Mexican food!

    I was in Freehold where there is no shortage of Mexican restaurants. I thought I would give this place a try. It is brightly decorated, with two large screen TV's playing Mexican music videos. A lot to choose from on their menu. We were given a small portion of chips with 3 sauces which were all good. We were seated and served promptly. I ordered the fajita Street tacos which were tasty. Hubby ordered El Borracho which was grilled angus beef short ribs. It was presented very nicely and he loved it!

    El Agave is a fantastic Mexican restaurant worth visiting in downtown Freehold. It has caught my eyes several times driving by and I was so happy to finally have had the opportunity to dine there this weekend! The interior decor is very nice with a colorful Mexican theme and upbeat music. We split the nachos as a starter. It was . The fresh chips and ingredients definitely came through. I had the tacos dorados and my husband had the agave chimichanga. All the food was so delicious and the side of chipotle crema took it to a whole other level. The service was a great and the food was plentiful. I will absolutely be back and will be bringing other friends who love good Mexican food.

    Steak chimichanga! Fresh, colorful & delicious.

    The most amazing/fresh & delicious Mexican food we've had! Complimentary chips and salsas - tasty!

    The customer service is great, I came here since it was a new store, I got the carnitas tacos and they were delicious and flavorful definitely authentic. I absolutely loved the horchata as an avid horchata lover, the decoration was beautiful

    We came to celebrate a belated 50th for my cousin and boy were we not disappointed, Besides the food being absolutely terrific, they went above and beyond for her. You figure a candle in a cake and maybe the bd song, but no, they made it so special for her tears were flowing. Now by now, we all know their food it top notch. My son and DIL are major foodies and they were blown away. My son said the Tres Leche cake was better then Sophie's in NY, and that's saying a lot. Their homemade mole...WOW!!!

    I've never had a go-to Mexican place... until now. El Agave is everything I've been searching for - it packs the flavor and heat (if you like it) in every bite. We've ordered delivery and dined in and both are divine! From the crispy chips to the delectable sauces/salsas, we have enjoyed everything we've tried here so far. The price point is so reasonable, portions are good - not too big or too small, and service was great. We came with our baby and were worried about timing but the food came out really quick so we were able to enjoy it without rushing! The agave burrito and nachos were our favorite with the enchiladas trailing close behind. We're excited to come back and try some more from their extensive menu!

    Burrito birria

    The decor in the restaurant is colorful and fun, the food is delicious and some of the best tasting I've had since moving from the west to the east. The waitress was attentive and the food came quickly. Fantastic place!

    Complimentary chips and dip very good!
    Jennifer T.

    Hidden gem in Freehold! The Mexican food is authentic and delicious! I highly recommend anything that's topped with Chipotle cream sauce or green sauce. They start you with complimentary chips with salsa and a green dip. The best burrito I ever had in my life is the Burrito Agave! The creamy chipotle sauce it's covered in is to die for! It was nice and cheesy inside too! I also had the Enchiladas Enmoladas and the Burrito Bandera. Both were also delicious! The green sauce that's topped on half of the Burrito Bamdera is amazing as well! The ranchera side was good, but not my personal favorite sauce here. I had the rice pudding chimichanga for dessert. It was good, but not something I'd order again. I want to try the Mexican flan or tres leches next time. The menu is huge here. There are so many more dishes to try. I highly recommend El Agave in Freehold!

    My wife has some food allergies, will she be able to communicate easily in english with the staff?

    I don't see why not. The wait staff are bilingual as far as I recall.

Every time I eat here, I always say it myself that this place has the freshest best tasting grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, seasoned vegetables, salsa, and food! I don't know how they do it, but it's so delicious and served perfectly hot every time! Actually, this is one of my two go to restaurants and favorite spots that I use all the time! It's not uncommon for me to go here every weekend for even eight weeks in a row. While the service is excellent. the food is cooked to order. So you may wait a little longer than you're used to for your food, but that's the reason why it's so delicious and so perfectly served! If you'd rather be served faster there's plenty of other options to go. You still get served fast enough though and they do put a nice bowl of chips and salsa on your table while you wait. I am sort of stubborn so every time I go I get the grilled chicken and shrimp fajitas with corn tortillas. You could also get regular tortillas. This meal is so perfect for me. I'm never gonna change but oh my goodness they have one heck of a menu. Also, this place is absolutely beautifully decorated, and you feel like you're in Mexico City! I guess it's time to let the secret out, you'll really be happy you went here!

    It was good, not wowed though…read more We had to go to raceway mall so I was looking forward to finding a good authentic Mexican restaurant. Parking behind the shops was convenient, even better it was free on Sunday when we were there. Even more convenient El Meson has a path / entrance in the far corner to the parking lot off the railroad tracks. Staff was pleasant but not sure how much any language barriers was an issue or just inexperienced service. They offer indoor and outdoor seating and are a BYOB restaurant. A dos xx would have been nice. My wife got the steak soft tacos and I got the chimmi with lamb. Both plates were $21 each. We both got ample potions of meat in our dishes, her steak was more flavorful than my lamb though and overall my dish was a bit bland, ie not wowed. Rice portion was a bit small but then a good helping of sour cream. They charge for bottled water but don't give you a heads up or choice for tap. I also had to asked for the check twice and when I asked if there is a service charge for using credit. I was told no but then the check came back with a 3% service charge. Again maybe something got lost in translation. Feel free to comment with your suggestions for a really good Mexican restaurant in the area. If they have mole' sauce that would be a plus.
