El Agave - a drink in a glass with a straw - Mexican Near Me - Rangely, Colorado

The business is shuttered and the building is for sale. Disappointing because the menu looked promising.

Great Nachos, and the tomatillo sauce had just the right spicy. Tacos were very tasty. Highly recommend for a quick stop for some awesome TexMex. Look for the blue trailer by the lawn & garde store next to the Conoco. read more

Me, and for my friend stopped in here after a long motorcycle ride. We had lunch and drinks. All the food was excellent, and I had probably the best Birra tacos I've ever had. read more

El Agave - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Rangely, Colorado

It's only a food truck now. But it's food is still pretty good. Mostly parked near the True Value Hardware stores garden center. I love their Gordita's! read more

We stopped in while traveling. The sign at the door says wait to be seated. About 30 seconds later a gal pokes her head around the corner and sees us then sits down with her back to us folding silverware. After several minutes of standing there we got in our car and left. I can't believe someone makes contact then ignores us.. read more

Home made, terrific corn chips with superb homemade salsa, gratis. Beef fajitas sizzling as good as any in San Antonio. Almost didn't notice store bought flour and corn tortillas, but, it just didn't matter. So good. Rivaling any tex mex restaurant in San Antonio. Coming back through here on various trips just to get more. read more

Stopover in Rangely for the night and the wife and I needed to eat. I believe there are currently three restaurants open in this small town. All had some questionable reviews, but the only knock against El Agave was two recent reviews griping about a price increase. In case nobody has noticed, the price of everything has gone up. It's reality and it costs $$ to get new menus printed, so I can understand why the prices in El Agave's menu are a couple of bucks lower than the final bill. I can also understand the credit card surcharge (4%). The credit card companies charge the restaurant a fee and El Agave is just passing that fee on to the customer. Again, understandable for a small restaurant in a tiny town like Rangely. And if you do the math on the 4%, it's a couple of bucks and a small price to pay to keep local businesses of this caliber open. The food was really good. t was tasty, authentic Tex Mex. Not overly spicy, but well seasoned with really good flavor. The complementary chips and salsa were fresh and house made. The margarita wasn't the strongest I've ever had, but it clearly had fresh lime in it and wasn't made with a mix. Nice and tart with a hint of sweet. I had the tacos al carbon. It came with beans, rice, and guacamole. There were four tacos on corn tortillas. The beef was tender, properly seasoned, and plentiful. Quite satisfying. My only complaint really isn't a complaint, but is more of an observation. There was a group of customers (three 20-something guys and the wife of one along with a toddler) at a table who'd had their fill of drinks. Loud, borderline obnoxious, talking across the room to another table, and pretty free with their language. I can hold my own when it comes to profanity, but I understand that there's a time and place for it and a restaurant with small kids in it isn't the place for it. But as I said, small town, everyone knows each other so that sort of thing is going to be tolerated. These people clearly work hard (from their conversation, they're oil workers) and that's going to carry over into their free time. Was it a distraction? Yes. Did it ruin my meal? No. Bottom line... Food is really good and worth the price. Get over the price increase and the credit card surcharge. You'll pay twice as much at a similar place in a big town for food that's probably not as good. read more

Holy Cows-I wish we were there now--margaritas and food top notch. Food seems prepared with fresh ingredients and us tasty. Margaritas: they seem to know their tequilas. Staff: smart and friendly. read more

El Agave - Top shelf margarita - Mexican Near Me - Rangely, Colorado

Get a margarita! Seriously their drinks are huge and for under $8?! A great way to start the meal. This place was busy, so it took some time for food to come, but if you have a margarita with your chips, it'll be fine. I ordered the carnitas in a burrito covered with green chile with rice and beans. The burrito wasn't bad. The green chile was pretty good and helped out the carnitas, the carnitas were a little dried out. There wasn't too much cheese and the rice was fine. I am not crazy over rice at mexican restaurants. The servers were friendly and this place has good dinner in Rangely. read more

Considering we are in the NW corner of Colorado and I'm from South TX, this is good Mexican food. They're obviously from south of the border and their food is more Guadalajara style than most Mexican food this far north. Chili toreado!!! The Agave burrito was delish and the serving sizes are large. White queso instead of the typical government cheese dips served elsewhere. Drinks are reasonably priced and they have TVs for sporting events. read more

Yelp was not wrong! Reasonably priced margaritas and good burritos made for a pleasant dinner. The chubby burrito with a crisp Chilean relleno was very tasty. Don't be put off by the slightly seedy exterior, the food is good and the locals know it! read more

Just down the main drag of a sleepy little town, not far from the Moosehead Inn (also great) is this awesome Mexican restaurant. Skip Vail and Aspen and all that basic Colorado stuff and get off the beaten path. Order the Suiza enchiladas with shredded beef and you won't regret it. 5$ margs on Mondays and they're huge. No dinosaurs on this side but everything else is great. read more

The food was delicious and the staff treated our family as if we personally mattered to them. The environment is relaxed and welcoming; very family friendly. Next time I'm in northwestern Colorado I'll go out of my way if necessary to eat here again. read more

This place is perfect after a long day of exhausting work. There are a ton of good-looking menu options - I personally experienced enchiladas rancheras (GENIUS) and asada tacos (quite good for a simple meal). Beware the tomatillo sauce, which can vary in hotness from day to day. read more

Everything we got was excellent! Loved the enchiladas rancheros, nachos, and shrimp wrapped in bacon. Very fast and friendly service.

Great food, service, and happy hour margaritas!! Perfect stop when traveling on the road. Server was very nice and food came out super fast. Would definitely stop here again. Highly recommend! read more

This place has fantastic food and their mojitos are awesome. Their service is always great. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone in or going through Rangely. read more

El Agave - Mexican Near Me - Rangely, Colorado

As Nacho Librea says...." it's the best!" If you're in Rangely try this for good Mexican food!

Friendly service, delicious house margaritas. Shrimp a la Diablo, chili relleno, and chimichangas - all solid.

Fresh chips and salsa, good guacamole and friendly service. The chicken tacos were delicious and the horchata cold. What a nice lunch!

Service was great, the place was clean, But their enchiladas were gross. I also tried a chile relleno and it mostly a crispy carnival-like fried goo. read more

I have been sampling Mexican food for 45 years, everywhere from Laredo to Los Angeles and Tucson to Two Dot. Generally the best indicator of a good Mexican restaurant is its chili verde. El Agave has the best chili verde I have ever eaten bar none. I would readily drive the 38 mile round trip from U.S. Highway 40 and back just to dine there. read more

I had the Tacos de Asada and they were killer. I would have given Agave a 4 star review but they need to do a better job of keeping the restrooms clean. read more

They've got amazing food & tons of choices! One of my favorite places in town to go eat at.

Great food ,great service and a family owned business we eat here often never had a bad experience

Good food. Generous portions. Friendly staff! I had the steak tacos which were very good. Big beers on draft.

Great food for a great price. The service was also quite spectacular. I would recommend this place to anyone passing through who wants good food. read more

My family and I stopped here in July 2016 during a 3 week road trip. We are from Texas - I am a 48 year Texan. I know my Tex-Mex. Rarely do you find Tex-Mex even good outside Texas - it is usually poor outside Texas. The food at El Agave was EXCELLENT. The staff was warm, friendly and courteous. Dont judge a book by its cover though because this in an old building. Furniture is old. It just feels old and worn. We almost did not enter because of this. But when we did enter we found it old sure enough, but clean and friendly. We felt better. When the food arrived, YUMMM! We were so happy to have found a great place to eat at with some of the best Tex-Mex we've ever eaten. And as the staff was so warm and friendly from the get go, the experience was just wonderful. Dont visit here for luxurious or even mid-range furnishings - you'll be sorely disappointed. But if you want excellent Tex-Mex with warm and friendly people in a clean restaurant, then I highly recommend this place. read more
