This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Mount Airy. Probably the only Mexican restaurant left that has real horchata. I wish they had more hot sauce options but otherwise I always have a good meal when I go there. read more

Fast delicious food. I had the Mt Airy Special and it was wonderful and plentiful. I had enough to take home for at least another meal. Busy at lunch but I was still in and out in about 35 mins. read more

Tbh a MAJOR surprise. When you see this place from the outside it is so unassuming - tucked away in the middle of a typical small town shopping center. Inside - it's a party. We went on a Wednesday night and surprisingly every booth was filled and it was poppin !! The menu is huge and the quality of the food was very authentic and hit the spot. Huge portions. Now I'm not picky about Mexican food but I gotta say - this place is perfect for satisfying those cravings for super filling enchiladas :) very on par with Mexican restaurants in Texas! (I'm from houston) In short - highly recommend for Mexican and def a stand out in small-town Mount Airy!! read more

El Agavero - Enchiladas Mexicanas - Mexican Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Excellent take out and place. Food is wonderful . We love soup, everything and awesome guacamole

The food was ok The Standard Margaritas were terrible - the mix - lime had a very bad taste - we told the waiter but he did not remove a full margarita that we returned Overall - simply not happy read more

I have to say that El Agavero was pretty on point. They had my favorite dish Chori Polo, by the way, it was fantastic! I was disappointed they didn't have a large Texas Margarita, only a small and medium. However, I made due. The food was delicious, and the service was on point. I am coming back here next time I am in town. read more

Man, Ole Man! This has got to be the best Mexican Restaurant we've been to! I have no idea if their tortillas are homemade, but they sure taste like it! The drinks are good, and the service usually pretty good if it's not overwhelmingly busy. I also enjoyed the free dessert at the end of our meal! That was a nice little surprise. 10/10 recommend!! read more

El Agavero is the best Mexican you'll find in Mt Airy. Everything comes out hot and fresh! I always get the salsa verde. The staff is some of the friendliest and most helpful. If there's not something in the menu they're willing to make it and will allow you to modify your dish. read more

The best Mexican in town. Try the super dip and split an El Matador. Dinner for two under $20 read more

We thought we'd try it out based on the reviews. We were not disappointed! The food is great and seems very fresh. ALL the staff are very attentive and friendly. It's kind of hidden in the Rose's mall, but well worth seeking out. I know we'll be back. read more

I have never left a comment on anything, but my girlfriend and I went here and service was terrible, food did not meet expectations, I ordered a margarita, it tasted like peach and had no alcohol. I questioned it the waiter bet a hundred dollars it was like, I took his bet and asked for a hand made margarita, I offered to pay extra..He brought me water. read more

They claim to have the best margaritas in town. I don't think that is a customer opinion, it must be their own. We got two margaritas ( a strawberry and lime). The lime came with no salt on the rim and tasted guava or something else. Said it was not lime and sent it back. They gave us another which tasted exactly like the first. Both of them had a chemical after taste. I think they use a powdered mix and it has an artificial sweetener in it. Disgusting. And I think their customers no it because I didn't see one order for a margarita come out while we were there. We only ordered the drinks because they advertise they have white wine but they really don't. Service is pretty bad also. I ordered guacamole as an appetizer and black beans with my dinner. Neither came even with the dinner until I asked for them after hey came with dinner. I think my three star is a generous rating in hind sight. read more

my best friend and i have never had a bad plate from this restaurant! and staff is standard friendly. definitely one of the favorites though. read more

Absolutely my new favorite restaurant. Service was incredibly fast, food got out before we had put down half of the chips. The waiter was INCREDIBLY nice and speedy- which is fantastic with a full restaurant. Definitely exceeded my expectations by far. Extraordinary food and extraordinary service. Will be back! read more

This town has a few different Mexican restaurants. This restaurant has THE BEST SERVICE and the food is amazing as well. If you are a fan of salsa verde, you just ask for them to bring you some out. Spicy, vibrant flavor and it taste super fresh! They also have a sweet little bar set up and good drink specials all throughout the week. Definitely a must try if you're a Mexican food lover. read more

El Agavero - Shrimp burrito with rice and beans. Can't go wrong and full of flavor! - Mexican Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

This has to be me and my families favorite restaurant to eat at in Mt. AIRY. The food is a bit above average tasting for a local Mexican restaurant and the customer service is top-notch. The environment is authentic, and not too overboard. I defiantly suggest you try this place if you have not. read more

El Agavero - Ask for the free desert, not too bad! - Mexican Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Excellent food! Good salsa, fresh chips and good service. We are traveling thru the area and always rely on Yelp to guide us, never disappointed! Grew up in Cali with good Latin food. This did not disappoint me, very good hot salsa. Try it on your way thru the area. read more

Our server was great, all the staff was kind and cordial. The food was hot, promptly served, and worth the price. However, at El Agavero one will find no shortage of flies, and if forgetting to swat in between hasty bites, may find a fly in their food, as did I. This is a common problem in the summer for any restaurant, but they do not appear to take any measures to reduce the fly population; even a simple fly tape in every corner would make a difference. I don't go out to have flies and food served together! read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Mt. Airy!!!! Staff Is always great. 10/10

Stopped in Mt. Airy on the way back to Southport, NC. Went for dinner here on a Sunday night. Great draft beer specials for $1.50 for a 12 oz Dos XX and several other choices. Mexican and domestic bottles were $1.99. Everyone here was really friendly from the host to the servers. Everyone here helped out to make sure the service was top notch. Our server was busy when we were seated and someone else took our drink order in the mean time. The manager/owner(?) checked in to make sure someone had taken our drink order even though we had only been seated a few minutes. We ordered the enchiladas rancheras and the quesadilla rojo. Both were good but not great. We are spoiled because we had great mexican restaurants on Ohio. Food was hot and came out really quick. The chips and salsa were good. The salsa isn't hot so if you want to spice it up ask for their homemade red or green sauce. That will do the trick. Good service makes this place worth a return visit. read more

Some of the best Mexican food in mount airy. Always packed but for a good reason the food is wonderful and very well priced. I will eat here as long as they are open read more

This place is in the shopping center as Rose's. I had a chicken taco salad, and my wife had the beef taco salad. Both were okay. Salsa and chips tasted just like all the other Mexican places I've been too. Service was good. read more

Stopped by for lunch before a movie at the Cinema across the street. The salsa was a little like chunky ketchup - the only reason for 4 stars. Enchiladas were incredible. The frozen margarita machine was broken so I had one on the rocks. It was tasty but definitely have had better. Nice decor and GREAT service from a friendly staff. I would definitely recommend overall. read more

I went to try the food since I asked a Mexican woman at Walmart and she suggested this place. Well to say the least I was disappointed. I asked for Tacos al Pastor and what was given to me was carne asada mixed with chorizo. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't what I was asking for. They did serve 3 very large size tacos and another plate of rice and beans. The salsas were good as well and the flan was really good. The service was decent for the rush they were getting as well. read more

Oh my word this food is good! So good that we ate here two times in two days. The wait staff is awesome and so nice. Where else can I get such a unique dish that has Nopal. I've never seen or had it before. It was good with the chorizo, steak and grilled chicken. I will drive the hour from my house just to eat here again. Soon! Very soon! read more

Awesome food! Just passing through and we stopped based on Yelp feedback. Tasty veggie fajitas and terrific quacamole with pico. Best service as well. Nice choice in Mt Airy read more

Ate here the other day and I had a great time. The menu had a nice variety of dishes, from slightly complex to simple but delicious. I had the Super ACP and it was great! You get your money's worth when it comes to food portions. The service was also a highlight of the stay. The waitresses were very eager to get whatever we asked for and the management checked up on us too. Definitely coming here again! read more

Food is usually good, but a couple of occasions I have ordered a favorite item for it to come out completely different. Ordered on Friday afternoon a shrimp quesadilla and was delicious. Wanted to try again today (on a Wednesday 4 days later. Ordered a shrimp Quesadilla and the waiter asked if I wanted salad or rice and beans. I told him I ordered it on Friday and they didn't ask. He rolled his eyes and and sighed that it came one way or the other. I told him the salad would be fine. When they brought it I noticed it was rolled instead of folded, but I ate it and it was still good. When the brought the check it was on the ticket for $11.03 vs $7.50 on the menu. The waiter wouldn't make his way back to the table (had an attitude the whole meal) so I asked the manager about it who was nearby. He said it was a Chimichanga and that I needed to say something when they brought it to the table, otherwise there was nothing he could do. I complained again while paying the check and he was insistent they wouldn't take the $3.53 off the ticket. The waiter never made his way back to the table because he saw me talking to the manager. We finally had to flag the manager again to take the check. Many times we've ate there with party of 15-20 people. Too bad they didn't want to make this right. It will cost them over the years from the business we usually bring that we will take elsewhere. read more

I live in Winston-Salem and just happen to be passing through Mnt Airy. I have eaten at many different Mexican restaurants in Winston, High Point and Greensboro. This is by far the best Mexican food I have had since I moved to North Carolina. I had the tacos and they were the real deal. Tasted just like the street tacos I had in Queretaro, Mexico. The salsa's were were the best That I have had in the United States. This place is a definite must visit. read more

This is the best Mexican Restaurant in town. The food is always great and we always have great service.

I have been coming here for years. The restaurant has changed names and management a few times but the food and the staff have always been excellent. The decor is serviceable but the dining area is always clean. El Agavero barely misses out on the title of best Mexican restaurant in Mt. Airy. I recommend the chicken fajitas or the fajita nachos. read more

I downloaded yelp just to say that this the best restaurant I've been to. Large portions, low prices, and great food and staff. I wish I could give this 6 stars. read more

The order did not match the menu description and the chips were stale. This is not a place I would recommend
