    Complimentary chips and salsa
    Desi-Rae S.

    Trying this place for the first time and it was everything I hoped it would be! Augusta NEEDED an authentic Mexican family-style place and El Agave delivers. My daughter and I made the "choose your own combo." We we're both excited to see pork tamales on the menu. She matched hers with a crunchy taco and I paired mine with a shredded beef burrito. The place was hopping and I was worried the food would take a long time. Nope. The food came out hot, fresh and fast. Accompanied by creamy, perfectly spiced refried beans topped with gooey melted cheese, I could eat my weight in the beans alone. The tamale was moist, filled with tender seasoned pork covered in the perfect red sauce, it was everything my tastebuds wanted! I could go on forever about the shredded beef burrito. The meat was melt in your mouth tender, seasoned to perfection. The portion was just the right size for me. My daughter wolfed down her taco in three bites practically! She loved it! The meal started off with complimentary chips and homemade salsa. The salsa was tomatoey, garlicky, not too spicy and served chilled on the side with individual dipping bowls. The chips were warm, crispy, and salted. We had to pace ourselves so we saved room for our dinner. The restaurant itself is in a former chain establishment but you'd never know it by the warm decor, fun atmosphere and fast friendly service. Maine's Capitol city needed a place like this. When you're in the mood for authentic Mexican food check this place out!

    My husband and I stopped in to the new Mexican restaurant today. They fixed the Ruby Tuesday's up beautiful and we were immediately greeted and taken to a wonderful table for our dinner. My husband ordered the chicken quesadilla and I ordered the steak agave. We also ordered the queso fundida with delish chorizo! Sooo good with fresh made chips! Service is good.. drinks are flowing! Great restaurant and a great addition to Augusta!

    Free chips & yummy salsa!

    This place was hopping on a Sat. night - were quoted a 30 min. wait, but we're seated in about 20-25 min. They text you when your table is ready, so you can wait outside or in your car. Staff were all very friendly and reasonably attentive - I.e. they didn't bug you every 3 min. to check on you, but checked in a few times, and were easy to flag down when I forgot to ask for hot sauce :) Generous w/the free chips and flavorful salsa. The cheese dip was delicious! Their Spanish rice - yummy! I ordered the enchiladas Popeyes - it was bursting with so much authentic flavor! (I've had Mexican food from Cozumel, Costa Maya, a hole in the wall in Tijuana, San Diego, FL... El Agave's is legit!) The tortilla's are not some store bought "Mission" crap - they are freshly made from scratch! Hubby ordered the El Agave Burrito w/shrimp - he raved at how good it was, I had a bite - yea, awesome!! All around from service, to quality of food, to flavor, timeliness, reasonably priced... A+ SOOOOO excited they are in my town!!!!

    This place is brand new. It just opened this week and the timing couldn't be better because I've been craving tamales for weeks. Normally new restaurants can be a bit chaotic but they clearly know what they're doing. They're organized and quick. It was the height of lunch on a Saturday, and the place is packed, but we only waited maybe 10 minutes for our entrees! Quick service! Everything was incredible. I ordered the build-your-own combo with a pork tamale and a beef taco. It was delicious! So much flavor packed into that plate. My bf ordered the lunch quesadilla. I've literally never seen him eat retried beans or rice when we go to a Mexican restaurant but he completely cleaned his plate. He normally wastes them completely but he finished his and half of mine too lol.. The house Margarita is really good, strong and not too sweet. I'll definitely be back and I can't wait.

    I've only ever gotten takeout from this place but the wife and I decided to eat in and boy I'm glad…read morewe did. The service was wonderful our waitress was very helpful when it came to any questions we had about the menu I got the honey garlic Mac burrito and the wife got rotary garage burrito see the pictures just as we were leaving live music started up.

    We recently picked up takeout here and were very impressed!…read more The kitchen sink fries are a win! The honey garlic fried chicken and housemade ranch were phenomenal! Such a delicious combo! And the addition of the mac and cheese really rounded out this savory, delightful dish. My one critique is that the fries themselves were not my preference, slightly crisp but definitely not hand cut. They were tossed with a sweet fry seasoning, which made the dish a little too sweet for my taste. The honey garlic fried chicken sandwich was also delicious! The fried chicken was topped with the sauce instead of coated (unlike the chicken in the kitchen sink fries), but it was still good. The sauce was delicious and the chicken was high quality and well balanced with all the toppings. We also got grilled haddock tacos, which were amazing! They were huge and looked a bit like a take on "white people taco night" but that would be wrong because the flavor was there! The haddock was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The tortillas were fine, nothing special, but the sauces and toppings were fresh and flavorful. Overall, this place offers delicious food and has friendly staff. We'll definitely be back for some mac and cheese, haddock tacos, and honey garlic chicken!

    We have had good experiences with our take out orders. They…read moreare a very busy restaurant, given they are really the only Mexican restaurant in Waterville. They are so busy, at times, they do not accept take out orders. We ordered take out and there was a line right to the door waiting to be seated. The tables were full and it was not even 5pm on Saturday. The waiting area is decent, but can get crowded in the front hallways section. The restaurant is a bit dark, in fact, we had a hard time reading the receipt in the waiting area to complete it. Plenting of seating, a lot of booths. Very clean. LOL The staff members were definitely hustling - moving quickly to serve and clear tables and address people getting take out (us). The food tastes fresh and not overly seasoned. I was surprised at how mild, almost dull some of the meats were, with the exception of the delicious chorizo chimichanga. The pulled pork and the chicken, definitely needed the sauces and salsas that come with it. Warning, if you are not fan of cilantro, you may want to ask before ordering, as some of the items have it automatically added and cooked with it. There is plenty of food with every order, including chips and salsa to go. We definitely will be back and hope to have dinner at the restaurant sometime.

    Went in this past Saturday for an early Mother's Day lunch. Seated promptly, ordered frozen…read moremargaritas. Given a basket of cold chips and salsa. Drinks came some time later and for the first time in my adult life - I sent mine back. No hint of lime nor tequila. It was like a flavorless snow cone. Food finally came and the food wasn't what we ordered. Close enough. Blandest "authentic Mexican" food you'll ever eat. Service was sporadic, building needs a paint job, but the waitress was nice. Probably won't go back.
