This restaurant is for locals who don't want to drive anywhere. That's a real thing and I hope locals keep enjoying El Agave. If you're driving through St Peter and stop here, you'll likely be disappointed. Cute atmosphere, decent service, food was mid and $$$. Chips and salsa included, and the salsa is fine. Nothing special but we definitely ate it all! Tiny salsa cup. They will casually ask if you want rice and beans and depending on what you've ordered, it'll be an additional $7.50. One of our meals had the house specialty spicy sauce. It was fine. One of our meals had a house dipping sauce. None of us liked it. The cake was especially disappointing. read more

The food is good. Nothing spectacular, but decent portions, and well made. Jacky was the only server, and she did a great job of taking care of all her customers. The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. I would not hesitate to eat here again. read more

The food is always fresh, flavorful and the atmosphere is fun and modernized! The staff is always super friendly!

I ordered the Pollo Asado and it's the best I've EVER had. So juicy. So tender. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. I've been eating chicken my entire life and I've never had it this delicious. THIS enchilada was life changing! We ordered the steak fajitas (which were also epic) and the carne street tacos also tasty as tasty can be. WOW! It was a joy eating here. I love the vibes. It's a fun atmosphere. It's bright and colorful with festive music and WONDERFUL service! The food was ready ultra quick too. PERFECT dining experience! read more

Tall, thin Waiter brought wrong food, took 30 minutes to get the check; we finally had to go to the cashier to pay,salsa was blended tomato juice and bland. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant. read more

I have been here many times and the food has always been excellent. Tonight I had the burrito California, which I do recommend. There is a large menu with lots of options. Staff is friendly, the food is usually pretty fast and reasonably priced. They do sometimes get very busy so be aware of that. read more

The service was wonderful and we had a nice time. I had the top shelf margarita and was very disappointed in the flavor and was watered down. Ordered the three enchilada platter and thought it was okay. The red sauce is very smoky (more authentic which some Might like) and the green sauce lacked flavor. Will not return. read more

I'm writing this review as a tip to vegetarians - their rice and beans are not vegetarian friendly. Though, they do have this listed in the vegetarian section. The rice has chicken broth and the beans have pork of some kind. Service was great, quick and friendly. Ambiance is a cool vibe. read more

What a cute place. So colorful and fun. They had dishes on the menu I haven't seen in other Mexican restaurants, and for once I tried something different and wasn't let down! It was so delicious! Service is always great in these establishments. Quick, polite, efficient. You know you can have a quick meal or stick around for a margarita....or 3 read more

El Agave - a restaurant with colorful booths and tables - Mexican Near Me - Saint Peter, Minnesota

The food was average. The tacos did not have much flavor but the rice and beans were pretty good. The Our sever was nice but the person running food was a little snarky. The restaurant is a little crowded, but homey. They first messed up one of the orders but made up for it with free fried ice cream. read more

It was very packed and the food was good. My friends and I enjoyed what we got, I got beef tacos and it was good.

Hit or miss. Monday's and Tuesday's their claim to fame is $2 margaritas, but beware that when it is busy the food quality and waitstaff attentiveness goes down the drain. I try not to order food when I come in for the marg deals, because I've left disappointed on more than one occasion. That being said, the margs are delicious and keep me coming back. I do love the fajitas, because I know they will be steaming hot. If I order anything else, it usually comes out cold or underwhelming. A fun place to come with a group for some drinks for a birthday celebration, but I'd think twice before coming here for dinner. read more

Prompt, friendly service! The food is delicious and authentic. I had Lunch #7 and was exactly what I hoped. Simple, perfectly grilled quesadilla with chicken and cheese and ground beef enchilada with plenty of flavor and a touch of sweet spice in the red sauce. read more

El Agave - #Lunch No. 7 - Mexican Near Me - Saint Peter, Minnesota

This is my go to Mex restaurant off 169. Some of these reviews and ratings make me think they are about a different restaurant? Staff is excellent, service prompt, great food and drinks. Love it. Don't hesitate to come in and enjoy this great spot in St Peter. read more

The food was average. Mushrooms do not belong in fajitas, however. The service was good. Selection was limited to nothing more than a fast food menu. Prices were on the higher end. The restaurant was not busy, and the restaurant was clean. read more

Love this place! Good food - super fast and great service! Our family loves the arroz con Mariscos. Definitely worth a stop if your in St. Peter. read more

Delicious food, Monday afternoon we had $2.25 12oz margaritas!! The most colorful restaurant I've ever been in. Friendly quick service. I had the Bandera, 3 different enchiladas with a salad that had guacamole on it. Hubby had the individual combo with a chili relleno and tostada with rice and beans. We loved it. If you need more spice, there are 4 hot sauces at the table! Wish I'd taken a pic of our food, but we dove in b4 I thought of it. read more

Just got takeout from here and it was fantastic! Their guacamole tastes amazing and fresh. Their chips are addicting; I regret not asking for extra when I ordered. My boyfriend's first choice isn't usually Mexican food, but he LOVED the chicken fajitas. And our order was ready so fast! I definitely look forward to dining in once this quarantine lifts so I can try their margaritas too. read more

We had a large group 20+. They were able to accommodate us, it was a little crowded but we were comfortable. The waitress was really nice. She had many tables and still kept up with the needs of our group. Everyone said their food was warm and had great flavor. This can be a challenge when you have so many orders to be out at the same time. We have been here numerous times. We are never disappointed. The prices are fair and make it well worth giving them a try if you are in the area. read more

This place is delicious! Well spaced tables, great service, and the food is some of my all time favorite! Keep up the great work.

Stopped in for lunch Wednesday. Reasonable priced lunch menu. Food was brought out SUPER QUICK. I ordered the Speedy Gonzalez it was great and still good when I warmed it up for breakfast the next morning. I like to add salsa to my entrees so I ask for extra that they bring out with chips. The server said she could do it but would have to charge for it. I appreciate the fact that she mentioned it!! Next time I'm passing through St Peter I will definitely stop back!! Thanks El Agave!! read more

Holy heavens this place is to die for! Just passing by on a road trip, decided to stop (with a group of 6) We all LOVED our meals! Authentic flavorful Mexican! The best I've had in years. Still dreaming about it. Yum!!! read more

Prices are good, food was great. We had good service, free chips and salsa. I had the California burrito and my wife had the pollo al chipotle chicken. Flavored were great. Every thing blended well. We'll definitely be back. read more

Great selection. Not bland at all. Not sure what that other reviewer ordered, but the chili rellenos was spicy and good

We ate at El Agave a few times before they moved, so we checked out the new location about a week after it opened. The food quality is the same, everything is tasty but Mexican food purists may not be fans of the dishes covered in various sauces. Stick to the specialty items and you'll be just fine. El Agave lost my fifth star due to a lack of staffing. While we acknowledge the slowness in getting seated was due to everyone in town wanting to check out El Agave's new digs, it was clear that the waitstaff were overwhelmed by the volume. I don't blame our waiter for the fact that it took longer than necessary to get drinks, or more chips, or the hot salsa for those chips (which is delicious), or even to get our order in; I could see that he and nearly everyone else running tables were getting slammed. That's poor management and the owners should bring in a few more servers on the busiest nights. That said, the drinks are strong and the spice is real so we'll be back. read more

When an eatery begins to skimp on portions and the quality slips it is the literal kiss of death and a good sign that the establishment is headed down hill. I live in this town and have been to this place numerous times, and it ain't what it used to be. I have downgraded it from a must visit to a Meh. read more

I love this place they have fast service amazing food they have beautiful decor and the staff is so friendly

Delicious food and service was quick and friendly. Ordered the Arroz con pollo and the philly cheese steak burrito. Yummy and and a lot of left overs. Noticed they charge for extra chips and salsa. Luckily was just my husband and I so didn't matter...but if you come here with a family, will go fast. Overall great food and atmosphere. read more

I'm always on the search for good Mexican food. Skip this place. Greasy and flavorless. Good service was about the only positive.

Nice variety of Mexican food with soft and thin slices of beef. It's my favorite restaurant in town. Fajitas is the must-try

I come up to MN to visit family about once a year and this is a place I make sure is a place I stop at least once if not twice. Great service goes along with great food. I have eaten Mexican food many different places throughout the United States and this place has the best steak chimichangas I've ever had. Tonight I tried the Steak California Burrito and I was even more impressed...you will just have to have a huge appetite. Thanks for the great food! read more

Probably one of the worst Mexican food experiences I've ever had. For starters, they didn't have the courtesy of telling us that they do not offer free beverage refills, and continued to refill our sodas, several times. Be careful, at $2 or more for each glass. Adds up quickly with a large table. I had ordered enchiladas, and in all of my travels throughout Mexico or the Southwest, I've never had them served with a thick white alfredo-like jarred sauce. At the very least, put it on the menu, or give your customers a choice of traditional red or green and offer the white as the exception. The majority of folks would expect red. The sauce tasted like it was canned/jarred and had way too much flour in it. Tasteless, thick and bland. The fajitas had way too much oil and zero taste and overcooked. The cook needs to learn how to season the food. It's quite clear the owners are not familiar with Mexican food. It's unfortunate, as we drove a long way to check it out. Far too many other restaurants to visit, than waste your money on this place. read more

Service was great but the food was bland and the beef was mushy. Food came out in a short time but after the first bite of every different thing on my plate I noticed none of it had flavor. Safe to say it was a waste of $16 and I feel bad for the people that live here cause they must've never eaten good Mexican food. read more

Love this place! Great service, generous portions and some of the best margaritas I've ever had. The decor is a bit over the top but it is awesome and I will continue to go there for years to come. read more

Wow, very surprised by this place! Came on a Sunday for lunch, had excellent service and a fun, clean, atmosphere. My husband had a burrito with chicken (California) which was huge and very tasty! I had the pollo al chipotle and absolutely LOVED it! Food was so flavorful and even the sides were great (a lot of times you get dried out beans or rice, not here). Ambience, service, and flavor lacked absolutely nothing--we will be coming back! read more

Was average... I found it odd that with 4 of us dining we received 1 basket of chips and they charged for extra... Seriously?? One of us asked to switch from shredded chicken to grilled on tacos and it was 6 bucks extra for the change... Sorry 3 tacos with grilled chicken alacarte should not cost 13 dollars! Won't be back read more

The food is amazing and help is spectacular the food is a good price and just amazing

Our waiter barely had time to wait on us! His buddies were talking Spanish loudly in the booth next to us! He couldn't miss it! Food was fine! But the employees were having more fun than us! read more

The entire experience was absolutely awful and the bill reflected no correction despite incorrect food deliveries and many other issues throughout the evening. Kept hearing, "Not my fault." When we asked for the correct food to be delivered, the server said the kitchen told her the corrected dish would be delivered after EVERYONE else's in the restaurant was done. ??? Attempted to speak to a manager about the issues and they didn't see the problems with our experience. The server then walked by and called one of us "rude" good and loud, and later when we attempted to correct whatever message the manager delivered to our server about the conversation. The server called one of us a "bitch" in front of the manager. The manager said, "I'll speak to her." We thought she should be fired for that word exchange. Both employees were clearly in the wrong role for a service-based business. In my job, our informal motto is 'there is nothing more important than a customer.' We do whatever we can to ensure clients are retained, have a great experience with our services and business grows. This "team" needs a reality check on their priorities and approach. read more
