Came in for lunch on Sunday at 12:30. Seated right away and immediately brought chips, salsa and water. Offered specials on drinks - which we took them up on. Our food was brought out quickly and everything was VERY TASTY. Overall, I had a very good experience. I woukd like a little better explanation of the food specials than I recieved...more than just 'it's got beef in it', but our server was friendly and attentive. Parking was ample. Will definitely be back for dinner. read more

El Agave - Burrito frito and chile relleno poblano - Mexican Near Me - Wentzville, Missouri

El Agave has completely lost the plot. Ordered 8 tacos , 4 soft and 4 crunchy. Both tasted days old. The meat was dry like sawdust, and severely under seasoned with the traditional taco taste nowhere to be found. Also, it was 30 dollars. Waaaay too many other options to patron in the area to give this gouging group any business. read more

Literally just needed to use the restroom and got yelled at for it, food is buns too.

As a Mexican American I try all local Mexican restaurants in the area. El Agave was a disappointment. The chips were stale. The salsa was more like a pizza sauce instead of a salsa. The food was bland and my burrito had little meat. My wife's arroz con pollo was runny. But the tea was okay. The service was okay and the ambiance was good. Bottom line I'm sorry to say I won't return to this restaurant. read more

Too expensive charge me extra for what I ordered they put like $30 dollars extra into my receipt the tip was separate!! read more

El Agave - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Wentzville, Missouri

Summary: An inviting atmosphere, a large and varied menu with fair prices, and satisfying though not exceptional food. El Agave is larger on the inside than it looks from the street and has an outside patio dining area. Complementary chips and salsa arrived quickly. Neither tasted particularly fresh but were satisfactory. Every table had a QR scan to bring up the menu on your phone. It opened a nine page selection of apps, fajitas, burritos, steaks, combinations, lunch specials and more. All I wanted was a better-than-Taco Bell taco--not really a high bar. With a choice of beef or chicken I split the three tacos between a beef and two chicken. I wasn't given an option for soft or crispy shells and all arrived with crispy. The ground beef didn't pass the Taco Bell test. It lacked seasoning and tasted simply like cooked ground beef. The moist chicken taco used breast meat and was far superior. Fortunately, I needed no additional service after my meal was dropped off because the server never checked on me. Would I return? Maybe. More likely, I'd give another local Mexican spot a try. read more

See all

I normally don't do less than 5 star reviews, this place just wasn't that good. The nachos weren't that great. For some people this place is wonderful and that's great. read more

FOOD IS MIRACULOUS. SO DELICIOUS. I got the Kelley special. My sister got the tacos el pastor and the sauce is a lil funky but I like it!!! Chips are fire. Staff friendly. Food came out in good time! Love the ambiance!!! I'll be back next time I'm out this way! read more

First time coming here and I can say that I will definitely be back again. Went with my two friends Tuesday evening right before the dinner rush. We had a great server, probably one of the best servers I've ever had at a Mexican Restaurant. Tex-Mex restaurants are one of my favorite to go to, I have this particular entree that I like to order called Quesadilla Mexicana that I happen to find at almost any Tex-Mex restaurant. This time I decided to order a "Quesadilla Special" which instead of chicken or beef, it's a cheese quesadilla with chorizo, Mexican sausage. It was flavorful, and the sides of lettuce tomato and guacamole were all fresh. We received our food at a decent time. We also ordered their special small pitcher of lime margaritas. Great experience! read more

El Agave - Mexican Near Me - Wentzville, Missouri

Horrible service!!! Tried to make a takeout order and the gentleman answering the phone was incredibly unprofessional and just kept hanging up the phone. We had a party of 15 people looking to order sad to see them miss out on a $200+ tab just because their employees wanted to be immature. For the mediocre food they serve here we definitely won't be coming back here plenty of other great restaurants in the area that actually respect the community they serve. No wonder no one goes here anymore. read more

Everything was very good, service was great and owner was friendly. Glad my fiancée found a good spot outside our backyard after a movie at the B&B12. We will definitely be back! read more

Food was good until I found hair not just 1 but 2 in my veggie burrito... My Daughter loved it. Didnt want to make a big deal. I just pushed my food to the side. I even tipped well as it wasn't the waiters fault. read more

Can't believe I haven't left a review for this el Agave a "little slice of heaven!" I am from Texas so I LOOOVE Tex Mex. In my opinion it's rare to find good Mexican food down in the deep south but to find a Tex Mex restaurant is even more rare. I stumbled across this restaurant looking for a different Mexican restaurant. When I saw this said Tex Mex I let my husband know we needed to go ASAP. The food looked good and like Tex Mex. The salsa is to DIE for!!! Reminds me of my favorite Tex Mex restaurant in Austin called El Borrego de Oro. I mean this is exactly what I have been looking for. Their poncho and Nuevo Laredo nachos, fajitas, enchiladas de chorizo, their drinks, etc have all been AMAZING. Give this place a try and I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

TRIED TO CHARGE FOR HOT SALSA. After spending a decent amount of money. I offered to take the regular sauce OUT AND JUST REPLACE IT without me touching anything of course. Smh sheesh STL come onnnn read more

I am by no means a good judge of Mexican food quality, but this is the best Mexican food I've had in my life. Okay, I've probably only had Mexican five other places, and most of those were El Maguey restaurants. My family dislikes Mexican food, so I never had anything even nominally Mexican beyond cinnamon twists from Taco Bell until college. Typically, I only eat Mexican when someone else wants it. Last Memorial Day I spent the day out going to cemeteries and shopping. I was famished by afternoon, but every restaurant from O'Fallon to Wentzville at which I felt like eating was closed. Driving along Wentzville Parkway, I was delighted to see El Agave, a restaurant of which I had no prior knowledge, was open. I ordered the same dish today as on my first visit: 3 cheese enchiladas. It was as slow today, or slower, than it was on Memorial Day. There were 5 or 6 employees standing around with no customers in sight at 11:20. The food arrived VERY quickly - not even 10 minutes after we ordered. The cheese enchilada is going to be my usual at El Agave. The cheese is so soft and gooey and the enchilada sauce is delicious. I was pleased to take the final 1/3 of it home for dinner. My companion ordered tamales and has enough for probably two more meals. By the way, the companion was one of my Mexican-disliking parents, who now likes Mexican food if it's from El Agave. For dessert, we split a fried ice cream, which was a first for her. While not a huge fan of ice cream in general, she thought it was quite tasty, and remarked that it looked like a birthday sundae with all of its colorful sprinkles. The restrooms are clean and smell clean. I love that in a restaurant. Finally: while we were eating, a man walked over to the bar with a cigarette. The bartender politely told him that starting August 1 (today), there would be no smoking in the restaurant. The man went outside and put his cigarette out without fuss. Thank you, El Agave, for going smoke-free. I like ya even more now. read more

Based on other reviews we dropped in for lunch in anticipation of some authentic Mexican. As much as I was hoping for a five star, authentic meal I can't say we were impressed. Food wasn't bad but there was nothing that made us feel it was any better than the other average Mexican restaurants in the area. In fact, I would say this place lacks any kind of authentic meal option at all The menu consists of your average tacos, burritos and fajita options. All with the usual beans or rice although they don't even offer black beans. Again, the food wasn't bad. I gave it 3 stars but would disagree with other reviews claiming the authentic flavors. Average, typical maybe read more

El Agave - Blue Margarita's! - Mexican Near Me - Wentzville, Missouri

No flavor. We were passing through and chose this because of the high reviews. We ordered the nacho supreme and beef tacos. Zero seasoning. We almost asked if they accidentally forgot to add it. It's just bland, tasteless food. Sorry to be rude but highly disappointed. read more

We just moved here from Texas and have been spoiled with Tex-Mex. We were hoping to get our fix and they did not disappoint. It was really pretty good. read more

The food that we actually got was actually good but how they handled a simple mistake was inexcusable. 6 people ordered food and drinks. 40 minutes later, 5 plates came out. No big deal. We waited 20 minutes and no additional service came to the table. We eventually got the attention of the waiter and he said that they noticed that forgot the order and that's I'd be out in a few minutes. 20 minutes later - no 6th meal. We asked to speak to a manager, he came to the table and before explaining he said he'd take care it... came out 30 seconds later with the food but with no apology and mentioned that they forgot about it twice. He also refused to comp the meal that they screwed up on while also refusing to talk to anyone at our table about it except the young lady who ordered the food... finally after requesting our check he brought back the cold meal and comped it. Hopefully if you come here you get better service because the food was good. read more

Been here a handful of times over the years. Recently went back the other night for dinner with the family. I must say, not super impressed. I thought the food was okay. Really it was like any other Mexican food that I could get in St. Charles County. There was nothing super special about the meal. The thing that was different were the names of the dishes and the combinations of the food. But the flavors were all the same. I got some chicken dish with the salsa verde on it and it was a little too hot for my taste. The flavor was alright, but nothing major. The did have a good deal on their margarita that night. So I got one, and it tasted good. I did request sugar used instead of salt and still got salt. But again, tasted like a lot of the other margs in the county. Finally, the atmosphere was meh. It looked like a restaurant that didn't know if what it wanted to be. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference from other places except for the fact that it has a few Mexican decorations and ads hanging up. Honestly, I don't plan to be back. It's not a slam on the place. Food was decent and service was good. It's just a bit of a drive for similar food closer to home. read more

First, the service was excellent. We were greeted with friendly smiles and enthusiasm. The chips were warm and fresh. The salsa had good flavor. My sister got fajitas, sizzling, savory, and plentiful. Enough for leftovers. My brother got enchiladas, cooked perfectly. They had wonderful cheese drizzle over them. I got a grilled chicken salad and added sautéed mushrooms. It was great. It is my go to dish for Mexican, but this was fresh and the chicken was good. They have flavorful ide tea, and they are good with the refills. read more

The ONLY reason I'll give it any stars is that the place is clean and food is good. The service was the worst I've had in a very long time. The server have short answers to only 2 questions and offered 0 suggestions. Never smiled, gave his name, never returned to the table, never asked if we needed anything, didn't tell us to pay up front, nothing.NOTHING. I don't usually mind or need to be treated like royalty but it was embarrassing. They weren't even busy. Thank goodness the food came out fast. Didn't even sign the check so I could make sure the other servers didn't get called out for terrible service. He was more portly than the rest and I'll never recommend the place again. read more

Please see my review of El Maguey for more back story. I have a SD (service dog). We quit going to El Maguey in Lake Saint Louis (near the dam) because of how they treated us when I brought my new SD for the first time. The folks at El Agave were very warm and welcoming. Great service-terrific food. This will be our go-to place for mexican food now and I hope others will patronize these folks. Caring with acceptance and kindness goes a long, long way. read more

I love el agave, great food and fast polite service. I go here often and Thursday evening they usually have live music. Can't beat the prices either. read more

El Agave - Full of steak and covered with cheese dip - Mexican Near Me - Wentzville, Missouri

Love!! Love!!! Love!! Our favorite Mexican in town. The staff is super friendly and they are accommodating no matter what size our party. Quick service, amazing salsa and enjoy the outdoor patio when the weather warms up. read more

So bad. Chips and salsa were the best part. Really lacking in the service. Not friendly or attentive. Drinks were empty. Beans and rice were dry. The nachos were awful. Like they made those first, then the rest of the food, and so they'd been sitting a while. My sister got an enchilada, she didn't like it, and she is not picky. She ate about a third of it. It had a weird texture. My mom got a salad. It was so greasy. Their restrooms are gross. Like I wouldn't send my worst enemy here. read more

Excellent food / easy to stay on my diet while eating here - plenty to take home and GREAT prices and service! We will be back!

Food here is great, plently of taste! Service could have been better. This restaurant has the best tasting Mexican food in the Wentzville.

Nice and clean-it's new. The sauce was a bit bland but has a nice amount of cilantro in it so it tastes very good-they have bottles of habanero sauce on the table so I added a little to their sauce to give it a little more kick. They will bring out a bowl of their spicier hot sauce if you ask for it but i thought it tasted like spicy ketchup-it wasn't as flavorful as their regular sauce. My wife and I ordered the mixed fajitas and we both thought they were delicious! Ample portion sizes and comes with all the usual-tortillas, rice,and beans. Plus, they do give you guacamole too-which seems to be less normal these days (Chihuahua's!). Service was very good too. It's a very nice restaurant-like the full bar and the outside seating area is very nice. read more

We were eating at the restaurant the other night. Everything was average til we saw something very disgusting! They reused the SAME CHIPS given to a table and put them BACK into the chip machine to be used Again!!! Same goes with the SALSA!!! We are still in a PANDEMIC!!!! They need to be shut down for being UNSANITARY!!!! They should be ASHAMED!! read more

My wife and I have been here many times. The food and service is always great. Their fajitas are great.

Very good Mexican restaurant, but not much makes it different from the others in town. I will say that the steak in the food we ordered had crispy edges and that was great in my burrito. I would definatly go back. I still need a blue margarita :). read more

My family and I end up at El Agave close to once a week. We love everything from the staff/ service, drinks, and of course the food. Fun family atmosphere and I don't think they've ever gotten our order wrong. Oh and the place is always nice and clean. Be sure to ask for Angel! read more

My favorite chicken nachos in town. The servers are always nice and attentive. Great beer specials and margaritas. read more

If you know "real" Mexican food, steer clear of this restaurant. The food was not authentic, the Mexicans and the Americans at the table were unimpressed. If you think Taco Bell is Mexican you'll love this place. The kids eating at the restaurant liked it. Margaritas are from a pre-mix (per the manager they are from a jar)and are all mixer, no tequila. Waiter and manager were rude. When I mentioned to the waiter I was dis-satisfied with the margarita, the first thing he said was "what do you want me to do about it?", the manager approached the table with a combative demeanor.. read more
