    Chicken, rice and cheese
    Kaci F.

    This restaurant opened up about a year ago. The owner also owned the restaurant over in Quincy. I've been here a few times, but I took my son over this evening for his first time. He got the chicken, cheese, and rice. I got beef fajitas. That, drinks, and an extra side of rice came to around $32. Large portions. I had enough fajitas to take home, so I can make them for lunch again tomorrow. My son was very happy with his food. Very friendly and nice service. Couple tvs so you can watch while you wait. It's definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!

    Everything was good not great but it's an easy on and off the highway. Prices were very reasonable. I'll be back. Good service and friendly.

    The food & service are always great! The ambience is your typical Mexican restaurant. I love everything on the menu.

    service is always fast and correct. Large portions as well! One of the best Mexican restraunts in the kanawha valley!

    The things I liked: Queso dip - this was nice and thin, hot…read moreand had the peppers to add a tiny bite. Dripping this on the chips and my Mexican rice was my favorite part of the meal, Guacamole - the fresh diced tomatoes and red onion added crunch and flavor which I really enjoyed. Salsa - I'm a little torn on this. The salsa was fresh and flavorful but there is a different flavor here that I can't put my finger on that tasted different from other Charleston area Mexican restaurants of tried when in town. I also ordered the combination taco plate with Birria taco and chicken tinga. I wasn't expecting sour cream in the chicken tinga taco so I couldn't finish that. I tried to eat around to get the chicken but the sauce was not very good. This didn't taste like chicken tonga and I wouldn't order it again. The Birria taco also did not taste like Birria that I've had. This was more like beef roast on a taco with toppings. It wasn't bad and it wasn't good but it also didn't come with consume which was disappointing. The sides were rice and beans and while they were ok, I was expecting more flavor and authentic Mexican cheese instead of the plain shredded cheese on top. This was very, very Americanized Mexican food but I think they know their audience. Whatever you do, don't order a Margherita from here. I should've learned my lesson about Charleston area Mexican restaurants the last time I was in town but unfortunately I thought it was just the other restaurant down the block. I'm convinced they use grain alcohol or some other very cheap liquor in these in some of the Mexican restaurants in the area. The flavor was way off and was definitely not tequila. I only had this drink on a full stomach and it gave me a headache and nausea the next day.

    Clash of Two Towns -- Comparing South Charleston's Los Agaves to Montgomery's El Jalisco…read moreI'm a big fan of Jalisco Pasta and Jalisco Dip from El Jalisco. Those are two of my go-tos. I haven't been to Los Agaves in years. Honestly, the last time might have been while I was still with my ex, and that's been a hot minute! I noticed some similarities in the menus and that's how I came up with the idea to compare the two. Los Agaves has a Los Agaves Dip with steak, chicken, and shrimp. Sound familiar? Yes, it is almost identical to Jalisco Dip. However, it is a tad cheaper and a tad better, honestly. It is $10.95 at Los Agaves and $11.95 in Montgomery. It's a tight race but Los Agaves would win in a dip challenge. Next up was the pasta. I ordered the Pasta Bowl. The difference between this pasta and El Jalisco are the noodles. Los Agaves uses penne while El Jalisco uses fettuccine. Jalisco Pasta will run you around $13.95 for the chicken and shrimp. Los Agaves gives you the option of steak ($11.25), chicken ($10.95), or shrimp ($12.25). This is where El Jalisco blew Los Agaves out of the water. There was zero comparison here. Los Agaves Pasta Bowl was dry as heck. I searched desperately for the queso sauce which had coagulated to the bottom of the bowl. It was so dry that I poured the rest of my dip on the penne noodles to make it palatable. That is seriously the only way I could eat it, and I still couldn't finish it. It was so yucky that I gave the leftovers to David and HE wouldn't even eat it. And you know my kid is like Mikey -- he'll eat anything. I DID like comparing these two places and I would DEFINITELY eat some more of that Dip though!

    Food, service, prices, everything was excellent. I had the Carnitas, highly recommend.read more

    When you think of good Mexican food, usually Beaver, WV does not come to mind. However, I was…read morepleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the food! I grew up in Tucson, AZ and I have travelled to Mexico many times. When it comes to authentic Mexican food, most (but not all) restaurants that are not close to our Southern border cater to American tastes. Pro Tip #1: If you want authentic Mexican tacos, they should be using soft shell corn tortillas and be topped with cilantro and onions with lime wedges on the side to squeeze on top. Look for the terms "street tacos" or "authentic tacos" and make sure they are topped with cilantro and onions. Pro Tip #2: If you like hot salsa, most Mexican restaurants will have it, but you have to ask if they have any hot salsa in the back. I ordered the Tacos Al Pastor (which is pork with spices and pineapple). They come on soft shell corn tortillas and are topped with cilantro and onions and have lime wedges on the side. Yay! I also ordered a lime margarita on the rocks with salt. The tacos were very good! I would order them again! My waiter was friendly and called me "corazón," which was sweet. Unfortunately, I accidentally found myself in Beaver, WV after having to avoid the last toll on the WV Turnpike, so I likely won't be able to come back to this restaurant. However, if I ever find myself back in this small town again, I will absolutely come back to El Mariachi!
