I was torn between 3 and 4 stars, the food itself I would say is a little over average. There are sure better Mexican restaurants, but a couple of things stood out. They have a pretty extensive ala carte menu. You can also order a chimichanga without the beans and rice which is what I got. I don't eat that much anymore and I'm sick of paying for food I'm not going to eat. Our price for 2 of us dining out was less than 30 dollars, a definite positive. That's less than we pay to eat breakfast at Jimmy's egg. We were very pleased with this. Overall a decent place to eat dinner on a Sunday night. read more

The food was delicious, the service was great. My only complaint would be that the chips and salsa wasn't great. I had the fajitas and it was all really good! My friend had the burrito in the lunch menu and no complaints there either! We would def go again! read more

Good place to eat. The food is not expensive and service is good. It's not gourmet cuisine but it's good and you can feed the family without breaking the bank. read more

Probably the worst Mexican food experience in a very long time. Waited forever on the food which was very mediocre and there were flies swarming everywhere. The workers had fly swatters that they were using! My food came with cheese dip that I didn't order. The burrito was so tasteless that I then asked for cheese dip and they charged me an extra $5. Won't go back!!! read more

When we arrived the waiting area and vestibule were full to bursting. Despite this, we were sat in a mere 20 mins. Even though every table was full the wait staff were attentive and friendly. I ordered the Chile Verde which was so flavorful and certainly had a bite to it. I also tried the Pollo a la Crema which was absolutely outstanding. I can't wait to return to try their tacos, tamales, and enchiladas! read more

Love the food, the front of the house experience is very poor. Walk in the door, no welcome greeting just a pissed off facial expression. The waitress was no better, asked for water twice and never received. Very disappointed, a little customer service would be welcome. The last several times it has not been any better. They act like they are the only food option in town. We are going to try the East location next time and see what it is like. read more

The food was so-so, kind of on the expensive side. I got the fajitas but the beef was kind of lackluster in my opinion, something you could make at home. The service was good and ofc the ambiance but the food, eh. Probably won't be back read more

We have given this place three tries Rude and act like they could care less. Even when we sit at the bar we were ignored and seemed pretty obvious they were talking about us (complaining) in Spanish, even though we were appreciative and polite and respectful. Chips have no taste and the food was very bland as well. Margarita taste like margarita mix. Will not be back! read more

Service was fast and friendly, beers cold as were the pint glasses the beer was served in, chips hot and salsa plentiful. However, the bar height is TOO HIGH. Maybe get taller chairs. I felt like a little kid, my chin just a few inches above the bar. Weird and uncomfortable. Maybe next time, will try a table but we usually prefer sitting at the bar. read more

Yeah. That's right. I did it. I bumped these dudes up to 5 stars. I just had the fajitas carnitas and straight up ran to yelp for a review! Here's a little bit about the carnitas. 1. They were made on the surface of the sun. Super hot!!! Like really hot. Not spicy hot. You're gonna go to the ER if you don't slow down hot. 2. It's hard to eat them slowly because they were absolutely amazing!! Could just be that I don't have taste buds anymore but I'm pretty sure they were good. Maybe the best carnitas I've ever had. They were pretty busy, always are. We waited about 10-15 minutes and once we ordered we got our food pretty quick. At least impressively fast for the round trip to the sun and back. Salsa is pretty good too. read more

El agave... where do I begin. Sometimes I forget we don't actually live there, we are just guests. Yet still, the staff is our family. The service and food is impeccable. Everytime. From the spicy Dr Pepper to the brilliant combination of flavor in the tacos al pastor. The fan favorite in our house though? The chori pollo. Each meal that we enjoy at el agave is better than the last. The ambiance is truly unmatched. Thank you El Agave. Thank you. read more

This is our family's favorite place to eat! The service is amazing and the food is always consistently good. Try the shrimp cocktail!

First off I only rated 3 stars because the food was LEVELS above the service... our server named "Eduardo" was one of the worst that my family and I have ever experienced. We had to ask for almost all of our refills, asked another server to have our server come take our food order after waiting 15-20 mins to take our drink order and then 15 mins to GET the drinks. Food was actually pretty great but I'm too impatient to wait almost 30 mins for it. Definitely won't be back to this location.. read more

Our experience at El Agave was stellar. The food was fresh, hot and absolutely delicious. Our waitress Jocelyn was prompt, courteous and the service was on point. The ambiance was pleasant. read more

Definitely recommend going somewhere else. I ordered the tacos. They came out with hardly any meat and burnt. The manager didn't acknowledge the mistake. Will not be returning. read more

El Agave - Burnt Carne Asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

Very disappointed but decided we'd give them one more chance. We got there around 6:30. There were roughly 8 people ahead of us (maybe three groups). There were two open tables at the time that had been cleared. We decided to sit at the bar. There were four seats open at the bar but none had been cleaned. We sat there roughly 7 minutes and the person behind the bar didn't even look at us or acknowledge. We left and won't be back. Went to Mexico Viejo and within five minutes we were seated and had been served our chips and salsa and received our drinks. read more

It was bad, got sick immediately. Bathrooms were bad, towel dispenser didn't work. Girlfriend got sick immediately barely made it home in time to throw up out of both ends I kid you not. Will not go back. read more

Ordered online and had to call the restaurant for confirmation as I wanted carry out not delivery Confusion about Grubhub account or if order was already paid for. No way to communicate online. Didn't get my burrito or pico de gallo but otherwise the food was good. read more

The rice is amazing! Definitely get the cheese dip! Go early tho cause they get busy!

Always delicious-go on Wednesday or Thursday evenings for their margarita specials and don't forget to order queso with your chips! My husband and I usually split the fajitas but I love their spinach enchiladas if you like a vegetarian option. Fast, friendly service, too! read more

waitress was completely rude. Service was terrible. Id always been ungreeted and never got shown any respect every time i come here. Treated poorly and everyone acts very confused and disrespectful read more

I came to town for my grandmother's funeral. After the viewing we made reservations for 40, on a Sunday night. They had plenty of notice that we were coming. We showed up and they directed us to a room that would hold 30, saying they had tables set right outside for the last 10. Well, we had the 40 show up, and they had ONE waiter available to take care of us. And that poor man worked his butt off. However, it is hard and time consuming for one person to manage a group that size. There were no food expeditors, or anything. Just one man. We were there for over two hours, the rest of the restaurant had cleared out and we are all waiting to check out. It finally became enough and everyone just went to the bar to gather checks and pay. Again, they knew we were coming for DAYS and were not prepared. I do not blame the waiter, that is management. As for the food, it was pretty good for the price. I ordered the fish tacos, the texture was good, the tortillas were good, but their special house sauce is just sour cream. read more

Value was incredible for what we ordered and our server was amazing!! The host, however was not courteous or kind. El Agave is dependable, well done Mexican food. Oddly enough, pay special attention to the sour cream. Best I've ever had! 3 stars for the rough start with the sup-par host and nothing that puts them "over the top" minus portion size on the fajitas we ordered and sour cream. read more

El Agave - El Agave Especial Fajitas for 2 - Mexican Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

I have eaten in several times and each time found the experience enjoyable. Recently I tried their special dinner to go. Living about 5 miles from their Maize location had me wondering if my food would be hot when I got home. My sack held two styrofoam plates,loaded with delicious fair. Shredded pork tamale,chicken enchilada,spicy beef taco a tostada and to check my taste buds a Chile relleno, and of course rice and pinto beans. Al Agave's signature tortilla chips were crisp and helped me scoop up the leftovers. Honestly it was to much for one setting,so I finished it off as a late night snack. I was very satisfied and will definitely do it again. read more

Ambience is nice, not too loud. The waiter was helpful and even brought me a sample before I ordered. However, the tacos were fairly mediocre and presentation was lacking. I will say that the chips and salsa are good. read more

The food was ok it took forever for it to come out and the service was ok the but our waiter was nice but the food was ok

We had noticed El Agave signage about 2 months ago and about a month ago we called their Wichita location and asked whent to expect them to open. We were told thatit would probably be in another 2 weeks. At that time we had review the Wichita location's Menu. Since it's so convenient to my Husband's Chiropractor -- we wanted to try it. I have to agree with 'Kassandra W's Review -- the Food was quite good but the Service was challenged. It seemed like they were either Overwhelmed or Understaffed -- either way it was an interesting experience. I teetered between a 3 and a 4 on this Review, but our Server was running @ and trying hard. When we 1st arrived the Hostess said that it would be a moment. Then a Server walked by a few minutes later and said the same thing. A somewhat Snarly Hostess came back and sat us at a Table with Chairs and gave us menus. The Hispanic Gentlemen behind us were given a Booth. Both my Husband and I noticed it. Our Server, Miguel, came by for our Drink Order (which was Margaritas on the Rocks). I forgot to ask for a glass of Water, as well. Someone came by and slapped down a Basket of Chips and Salsa. It took a long time to get our Drinks, but it appeared that our Server had to make our Margaritas. When he brought our Drinks -- I asked for a glass of Water and we both ordered Tacos Al Pastor. I did ask to change our plates to Refried Beans instead of Charro Beans. And one plate with Corn Tortillas and the other with Flour Tortillas. Miguel kind of ran by and threw my Water on the Table. My Husband was commenting on how bland the Salsa was and I suggested adding some Salt.. It took a while to receive our meals. But when they did arrive -- our meals were quite good. The Refried Beans were DELICIOUS and the Al Pastor Salsa was deliciously spicy! We ate, we chatted and we waited and we waited for our Server. We needed a box to take home our Leftovers and our Bill. Finally, my Husband kind flagged down another Server and told him that we needed our Bill. Miguel showed up with a Box and our Bill. He processed our Biil quickly. I sm sure that they needed the Table! While sitting there -- I decided that they need a Full Time Busboy on the Weekends. We are going to try this Restaurant when 'the Dust Settles' . i think that they may just get Overwhelmed on the Weekend! read more

New place just opened. Food was fresh and the salsa was awesome! Service was fast and they kept our drinks full. Ordered the carne asada, it was a little thin and I had to cut it myself, was a little tough, but everything else was fresh and had plenty of flavor. Guacamole was excellent as well! Definitely would eat here again. read more

One of the best Mexican Food places in Wichita. Fajita so good. Convenient West Side location

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Walked in and was told it would be a 10 minute wait which was fine. Waited 10 minutes and watched the boy sit 2 other parties that came in after us. He was so confused when I asked how much longer we were going to have to wait if he was sitting people walking in the door right away. His response was that he would have to check. Check what? You are running the front and sitting people!! If I could give ZERO STARS I WOULD!!! read more

Amazing restaurant! My family have been going for over 2 years! Amazing food, love it there! Comes in big portions, me and my family's-go-to when it comes down to Mexican restaurants in the area! Recommending to everybody who lives on the west side or in Maize. Amazing staff, greets with happy smiles and welcomes us in! Love it! read more

My husband and I love to eat at el agave. The food is always delicious and great service! I really love the vegetarian options as they are easy to convert to vegan. read more

Food is always delicious. The best margaritas in Wichita. Lots of tequilas to choose from. Service is great too. The only reason I'm giving 4, not 5 stars is due to the seating being very uncomfortable if you're not seated in a booth. The chairs are not comfy at all. Otherwise, it's a really good place to go! read more

Worst experiences at a restaurant at Algave on North Mazie road. Female staff seemed overwhelmed. Didn't know how to deal with there customers. Wait for a hour and still didn't get seated. Seen several places to be seated.But wasn't offered to us.After a hour I asked the young girl how much longer was the wait.She said she didn't know ,She said after all you came out of no where.Just what a new customer loves to hear. I don't plan on going back. read more

*Full disclosure, I enjoy their Rock Road location and I intend to update this review after they have a few more months under their belt at this new location. We went last night (Friday night around 8:30pm) for the first time. We are told they have been open for about three weeks at that point. After being seated I just sat back and watched the room the whole time we were there. My biggest takeaway was that it was nuts that it appeared that none of the familiar faces from the east side location were on hand to help get this location up and running. It honestly looked like rookie night and none of the staff appeared to have any kind of system for service. I'll start with the biggie in case you don't want to read further. Family sat down about 20 minutes after we arrived. They made comments about the AC that was definitely turned down way too low (I saw three different people go to their cars for jackets while we were there). They end up moving to a booth. Their food takes a long time to come out, which seemed par for the course for everyone. About five minutes after they start eating they call over the waitress who then calls over someone who appeared to be the bar manager. The dad of the family is holding something down on his plate with a fork at this point. We all watch as he reveals a live cricket that was in his food. They are disgusted but staff keeps trying to offer new food. It was pretty gross and three tables witnessed the whole scene. A couple sitting by us had clearly been waiting a long time and asked where their food was. Waitress finally brings out the woman's plate but they guy's plate doesn't arrive for another 5-10 minutes. Her food is getting cold at this point. They ask to pay for their beer and leave. Manager guys gets involved again but the couple is too bummed out to stay any longer. Waitresses didn't seem to have any organizational system as to who covered what area. They overlapped one another but drinks, chips and food still came out late or not at all without having to track down the third/fourth person to help. Waitresses seemed completely disinterested and wouldn't focus on customers while they ordered. One TV was off, one was on the Dish Network info channel, one behind the bar was on the programming guide and the other behind the bar was on CNN. Details are not only lacking, they don't seem to exist. The east side location is a good spot with some great staff. This location DESPERATELY needs veteran staff and management onsite ASAP to save this place before word of mouth wipes them out before they have a chance to find their footing. I want this place to succeed, I don't want to have to drive across town to get a fix. This is a completely repairable situation, they just need to tap into their existing staff/management to right the ship. read more

I was a bit hesitant to even try this place after reading some of the reviews. And the poor rating is well deserved. I ordered the seafood enchiladas and a house margarita. My plate was gigantic..with 3 tiny enchiladas in one corner and some lettuce in another and a lot of empty real estate in between. The tortillas were microwaved with some shrimp bits and one came with an unidentifiable piece of something off the grill along with the flavorless shrimp. The enchilada sauce was similar to the sauce in canned spaghetti I ate as a kid ..completely awful. The margarita was equally disappointing.. I won't even get into the lousy service as this establishment isn't worth anymore of my time . read more

We went to El Agave for the first time a couple of months ago. They have an amazing fajita plate for 2 that is exactly what you want and that could probably serve 4. You get steak, shrimp, chicken and chorizo with two very generous set-ups and a quesadilla on each. The food is fantastic! read more

Great food, good service. We have ate there at least 6 times since opening and always pleased!

The food was good and plentiful, margaritas were great. A little slow on delivering the food, but it was well worth the wait.
