Ate here because it was within walking distance of our hotel. We were so glad we did! Excellent service, great food, and good value.

The food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. My go-to favorites are the Texas Dip and their smooth, freshly made guacamole. For my entrée, I typically order the House Special (Texas style), which never disappoints. Service is prompt and efficient--you're not left waiting long for your meal. The food is always fresh, and the quality remains consistent with each visit. The ambiance is welcoming and thoughtfully decorated to reflect the current season or holiday, which adds a nice touch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, making the overall dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. read more

It was my family's first time here! We stopped by for a quick lunch the service was excellent thanks to the waiter LUZ P. !! The food was very flavorful, to include the homemade guacamole with the fresh tortilla chips. When we walked in the music was loud enough to rock your hips as you enjoy the tasty adult beverages... The Fajitas came out piping hot! You will see in the photos- it's definitely a shareable size as well. The shrimp enchiladas were tasty , Thanks to the chef I will recommend this spot to those that are looking for An authentic Mexican meal! read more

This is the 2nd time the wife and I have been here. The 1st time was just ok but that was a few years ago. Today we went for Cinco de Mayo and we give them 5 stars. Everything was delicious and the Margaritas were outstanding. She had the shrimp fajita quesadillas and I had the brisket tacos. Very, very tasty. The service was extremely nice, courteous and helpful. Also, the restaurant is extremely clean on the inside. I strongly recommend checking them out! read more

Me and my big sis decided to come here for lunch. Although I forgot to get a picture of our food ‍ it was delicious. I had the Steak Burrito Verde and my sister had the Salmon Tacos ( which also my sister said were good and they looked delicious. The drinks were pretty much basic. Our Cadillac Margaritas were ok and had a ton of ice so after 3-4 sips the drink was done. Tequila Sunrise had more OJ than tequila lol. The spot was a cool vibe just would have loved better drinks. read more

I was in town for Import Alliance and decided to walk here because I heard so much great things about this place. We were seated right away. Plenty of dining area to eat. I ordered the Combination Dinner with included 2 Beef Enchiladas, Hard Beef Taco, and Mexican Rice. It was super tasty compared to the Panda Express I had earlier. The complimentary chips and salsa was great. Service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend this place if your in town or just want some great Mexican food. I can't wait to come back again!! read more

Dined here for a friends birthday and the service was disappointing. She was very nonchalant and the food and drink were mediocre. Manager was very friendly and accommodating. read more

This is a nice, family owned place we found on our way home from Florida. McDonough is a little town between Macon and Atlanta and this was one of the recommended places to eat...so we did. The salsa they serve, with chips, is thin, but spicy and tasty. We also had the guacamole...I highly recommend it...was house made and wonderful. I had the the El Agave Special. Aside from the not "sizzling" (as advertised) it was very good. The thing that struck me was that the meat, etc, was served on a bed of onions. That sounds odd, but they didn't really have an overpowering onion taste. The onions tasted like the fajita seasoning...weirdly awesome. My wife had, what can only be described as a small aquarium, of Sangria. Not super boozy, but quite tasty. So, if you find yourself on I75, somewhere between Atlanta and Macon...and need a siesta, find this place...you will enjoy it. read more

Something has improved! Not that I didn't have decent service before, but I had exceptional service for the past few visits. I order veggie options and everything was perfect. They remember my order and how I like my skinny margaritas. read more

El Agave Mexican Restaurant - a night scene - Mexican Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

You are greeted with chips and salsa. The food is authentic, very good and the service was great.

First time here. Our waiter, Brain was GREAT! He was respectful, prompt, and honest about the alcohol drinks lol. He gave us awesome service (and he was working multiple tables by himself) and we didn't have any complaints of feeling forgotten about. The food was good and they have outside sitting ( be we stayed inside because of outside was too crowded). I would definitely video again when im out and about in the area. con: the boots seating are comfortable:( my legs, butt, and back bothered me the whole time we sat there) we didn't asked to move because the chairs at the table were also uncomfortable. You're sitting on real wood. read more

The food was pretty good once we actually got it and it was correct. The shrimp tacos have mango according to the description, but upon arrival there were 2 small pieces of mango on each taco. When I asked for extra, I was told it would be .99. Our service sucked during the lunch hour. It took a while to get seated. Once we ordered it took a while to get our food, and then one order was wrong. Since the food took so long we asked for the checks when the food came out and specified for them to be split. When she brought the corrected plate, she had no checks. A storm came with heavy wind so she helped us transition inside. Once inside, we still didn't get our check. After completing our meal without a water refill or a check on the satisfaction with food, we again asked for the checkS. She returned with A check! This was my first visit and it may very well be my last! read more

I have been here couple of weeks back and had a great time. El Agave Mexican Restaurant serves the best Mexican food in Mc Donough, GA. El Agave offers fresh, authentic Mexican food in a family and friendly environment. The quality of taste that El Agave strives for is best. They use the freshest ingredients to prepare all of their dishes and all of their dishes are prepared daily. It's really crowded in the weekends sometimes so make sure to have a reservation couple of hours early if you are going in a group. I have enjoyed the great food, drinks, and they have superior serving staff. They have Margarita nights Wednesday thru Thursday Grande $5.99. They have other locations in the area, one in Hampton, GA and other in Eagles Landing, GA area. Their Lunch Specials are $5.99 which includes a soft drink. Their Happy Hour prices from selection of drinks of Any Size, Any Margarita $2 off. House Chiquita Margarita for only $1.99. 12 ounce Draft Beer for only $1.50. They have a fully stocked bar. If you're in the mood to sit outside, they have a great patio. The shrimp combo was just okay. If you're going get a regular Mexican inspired dish don't venture off and make the mistake of getting pasta. Enjoyed their chips and salsa. Margaritas were excellent. They have ample free parking in front of the restaurant. Good portion of meal for the right reasonable prices. read more

One word: PATIENCE!!! Where do I begin?!?!? This was my first time coming to this restaurant. Never heard of it before. I came for a 6pm reservation for a birthday party. We got there at 6pm and they were still setting the tables up. Finally we all got seated and comfortable and were told we had to share menus just for the simple fact that there were of 10 of us. Ok, no problem. Literally we sat there until about 645 before the waitress came and took our drink orders. For that size party, personally I think they should have had two waitresses. But I digress. Then after ordering our drinks, we proceeded to wait about 30 minutes just to get our drinks. Then another 20 minutes to order our food!!!! After we ordered our food, we waited and I do mean WAITED to even receive it. The food came out one at a time which was frustrating as hell and some of the orders were wrong. So if the plate was sent back, you had to WAIT to receive it again. Finally the food came, we ate and just to even get a refill of water- took way too long. And I realized that our waitress was overwhelmed, I felt bad bc the manager was a few feet away and kept observing our table. At no time did she come over and check to see what could be assisted with. Finally, it was time to get our checks and LORD HAVE MERCY- even that took forever. And I do mean FOREVER. The main issue with this restaurant was the wait time. Waiting to be seated, waiting to be served, waiting to get our checks. What would have been a 2 hour dinner was 4 hours bc of the wait time. And for the record, I asked everyone at the table "what grade would you give this restaurant?" As for the taste, believe it or not- the taste was not bad. It was the seevi Everyone said "F". The experience was HIGHLY disappointing. My advice to the management- if you don't have the staff, then EVERYONE needs to pitch in. It is unacceptable that we waited as long as we did. Will not be back. Grade: F read more

While traveling through GA we stopped for the night and stayed at the Tru Hotel. This Mexican restaurant is within walking distance of the hotel and was recommended by the hotel staff. Good choice. There is ample parking, nice atmosphere, outdoor seating, excellent service and the food was good. My husband and I always split meals when dining out and we shared the special, which was steak and chicken fajitas covered in cheese.The dinner came with Spanish rice and refried beans, both of which were good. The steak and chicken along with peppers and onions were seasoned perfectly, and very tender. It came with tortillas and of course chips and salsa. We both drank water and with a 25% tip the entire meal was $20. And we both had ample food. I would recommend this dining establishment. We realized we had eaten there before when we had stayed at the Tru in McDonough before and will probably eat there again as we are traveling. Great location as well right off the interstate. read more

I've never had Chile Rellenos with meat in them... having said that, I would have them again. And the chunky guacamole was worth the flight from Canada... almost.

El Agave catered my daughter's college Graduation Fiesta on yesterday. They did not disappoint!! I ordered food for 60 people and Sandra/owner guaranteed that we would not run out of food. Sandra and her team delivered! Great experience from the ordering process to the pickup. I honestly recommend them for all your catering needs. Everyone was full and plenty of food was left over that everyone made to go plates. Thank you El Agave Mexican Restaurant for a wonderful experience! You have gained a customer for life. read more

Pros: I was seated immediately and our server was at our table in no time. I tried their guacamole for the first time. Very chunky and delicious, it tasted as if the cook took their time with preparing it. I got the Fajita Nachos! They we're absolutely delicious. That is probably my favorite item on their menu. The time I went, it wasn't that crowded however our waitress took a little longer to give us the bill. That would probably be the only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Highly recommend everyone give this place a try! read more

The food is delicious! The service is a bit lacking but not terrible. Overall we had a good experience and will definitely come back next time we are in McDonough and craving Mexican. Very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get and the quality. read more

Let me explain by saying this place has very very good food but the employees ruined the whole experience. The entire time the waitress failed to give us needed items such as plates, silverware, and fajita shells...for a very long time and after repeated requested. At the end we took our bill to the front desk to pay and my husband presented his United States Army ID card to the waitress because they stated they had a military discount. (Btw it would not have mattered if they honored the military discount...we would have have still ate there). The waitress messed up on the credit card and as she was trying to figure it out another male server came up to the register. He overheard the conversation with my husband and waitress and he looks at the waitress and with his back toward us says "I would have charged him more". So disrespectful to the military that provides his freedom. My husband told the manager and after she questioned him he said "no no I was talking about a table I served". The only problem with that is that he did not hear any of the conversation and automatically knew when asked "what did you say" that was his answer. My husband and I are both military and police officers. Sad day for the United States. read more

Came to this location for my sister in-laws birthday, there was 8 adults and 3 kids, the kids and my self were the last ones to get our food. I ordered a shrimp dish and my dish came 5 minutes after everyone else's dish, towards the end of my meal I noticed that poop vien in my shrimp was not cleaned out, so I ate everything but the tail and saved it to show the manager, I didn't want a discount just to bring to their attention what I encountered, she proceeded to argue with me about how I finished my meal then brought it to her attention, she got very irate with our group and made a huge scene.she would walk away and come back and start arguing again. Definitely don't recommend this location, due to poor customer service and the circumstances I encountered read more

I was shocked at how good and inexpensive this place was! I came with a group of friends on a Saturday night and we were immediately seated. I ordered the steak fajitas (~$13) and a medium strawberry margarita(~$10). It was all delicious! The fajitas came out sizzling hot and tender. It was more than enough to even have for lunch the next day. The atmosphere was a typical Mexican restaurant...lively and fun! read more
