    One of my favorite places to visit. Love the arcade games. The area is always clean. I got a chicken burrito and a side of their famous salsa. Do not sleep on this food. Made to order and comes out hot! The service could be a bit faster. They should have more than one bartender at night. It gets really packed. But the service is always polite and accommodating. You can bring your kids here to play the arcade games if you choose. They have a few state of the art games including a zombie game. I'm always coming back.

    Well this is a vibe ..... came for a private party this place is spacious. Kid friendly but definitely in the basement it gives a bar feel. We had the taco bar for the event and they were ok. The servers were late with keeping of refilled but good nonetheless. Lots of arcade games ping pong tables and bar games. The highlight for me was the bar wheel. $6 spin the wheel and you have to drink whatever it lands on. Now that was fun. Parking is confusing . I parked across the street in the shopping center. Bathroom was decent. Overall worth stopping in.

    Super cute interior with great murals

    Really enjoyed a quick bite here! The tacos were all very good, but of course we were stuffed after eating the complimentary chips and salsa, and our app queso with chorizo, both of which were delicious. Our bartender was really nice, steered us in the right direction while we were deciding on menu items and cocktails. The music and interior were really nice, the murals on the walls were so pretty.

    We had so much fun here as adults!! I loved the basketball game and air hockey the most. I recommend only using 1 card, because you can't combine them. We ended up with 3 cards for 2 people, with extra unused tokens.

    French Toast

    My daughter and I went here for Sunday brunch! They have an all you eat & bottomless drink special that is really worth it. The service was a little slow but they were busy and short staffed so It was fine. The stand outs were the shrimp & grits, french toast and the steak taco! The mimosas were ok, and honestly for the price I have no complaints!

    This is a chill bar/restaurant! I've been a few times now, and I was sure I had written a review but here we go. They have decent happy hour specials. My last visit here was for brunch a few months ago. On a Sunday, it wasn't super packed. We had a fairly big group, and they seemed to be short on servers. They offer a bottomless option with unlimited small plates. For the price it's so worth it but the issue was with the service. The manager had to step in to assist but things already went left. The server who was nice in the beginning now had an attitude. Some were waiting for over an hour for items. It got to the point where some people wanted to just leave, but they were told no separate checks. I know at many places, this can be an issue dining out with large groups but in this day and age, it shouldn't be this difficult. The manager agreed to adjust the bill and apologized for the chaos. I said I would give them another chance and I plan to go back in the near future. Lisa at the bar was very sweet.

    Great atmosphere! Tacos and margaritas are delicious! Highly recommend spicy marg and queso and chips! Fun spot for trivia also!

    Whew. Where to begin? I should've known it was going to be an interesting experience when I walked in and the hostess appeared to hate her job. After asking a few questions, my friend and I placed our orders. Weirdly enough, the appetizer (loaded yuca fries) and one entree (3 tacos) came out. No drinks; second entree missing. Nonetheless, we continued our conversation and started munching on the fries. After a few minutes, we asked about the drinks and were told they would be out shortly. The second entree finally comes out and lo & behold, everything is wrong. My friend had specifically asked for corn tortillas, the server doubled confirmed yet 3 tacos on flour tortillas came out. The Maryland crab taco had beans added, when I ordered the same thing and received no beans. We asked about the addition of the beans and was told "that's how it comes". When we tried to refute given my order, we were again told "that's how it is..the toppings are all mixed together." She was then offered two tacos, again on flour tortillas, with nothing but the meat on there. At this point, she requested to just have the street tacos. The drinks finally arrived and the coronita that I ordered came to the table disassembled. When I asked why the Corona was not in the margarita, I was told "that's for you to do. I didn't want to add it in there and it spill over, that's your experience to have." We literally went a good hour without being checked on. To the point that we had to obnoxiously gather our belongings to show that we were ready to do before a server returned to our table so we could ask for the check. The icing on the cake was the automatic 20% gratuity PLUS the 3% surcharge because I used a card. Make my already ridiculously $49 bill a total of $60. Not to mention that the items that my friend ordered street tacos + a margarita flight were not clearly priced on the menu + there were clear discrepancies between what she was charged and what was listed. So when she got her check, she was genuinely surprised. So many other random "wow" moments happened over the course of the evening that just made this a "I'll never be back experience".

    We had a really fun brunch in the El Guapo basement. My mother-in-law was visiting, so a drag bingo brunch seemed the obvious choice . . . . right? The breakfast food and tacos were great. There old video games around the room, but it seems they shut them off durring shows. My friends definitely were enjoying the mimosas, but since I was driving the mother-in-law around I stuck with coke and water. Sorry I didn't take any photos of the buffet. I was too busy giving the mother-in-law some bills. It's definitely a good time.

    Over cooked steak fajitas.

    I'm super disappointed by El Guapo recently. We've been there twice in the last 2 months, but today's trip really made me write this review. The good: our margaritas were delicious. And at $8, they were fairly priced. My wife had another mixed drink, Blue Jeep was not very sweet and was "mediocre" in her words. We also got the crab and corn dip, which I thought was delicious. It was a great blend of crab and Mexican flavors. My wife's dinner, chicken tacitos were flavorful and delicious. They had a good crunch and were a good portion for the price. The bad: both my mom and myself got the steak fajitas. He specifically had asked if they could make them medium, rare or medium, but they said they don't do that. They did say that they would not come out well done and that they should be pretty juicy. But we got were two stick fajitas where the steak was so incredibly overcooked it. It was like biting rubber. I took one bite and was done. although the server apologized, and offered to remake it, she didn't really seem to care otherwise. I said that I had lost my appetite, and she never followed up to see if I had changed my mind or if they could do anything to make it right. My daughter's chicken tenders were disappointing. They were prepackaged frozen tenders and were not even fully cooked. Again, super disappointed. This has been a place we've enjoyed for years but our recent trips have been disappointing.

    Cute decor

    Welllllll what can I say... it's $35 for all you can eat tapas and all you can drink. The drinks were delicious and strong. The food was below mid and every single dish we ordered came out cold except for the shrimp and grits which were surprisingly the best thing on the menu. Our server Sarah was delightful and very helpful. Also the restaurant is very cute and festive. It felt like I was on vacation. I would go back for the chips/salsa and drinks next time and skip the tapas.

All of which, in my experience, adds up to a blinking neon "GOOD EATIN'" sign. And it is. The house salsa is fresh and flavorful, the chips are warm, the entree portions are filling and flavorful. Fajitas-- good; burrito-- good; guac-- good; salsas-- good; enchiladas-- good; churros-- good; esquites-- good; ribeye-- good. Their black beans in particular are delightful-- I would buy a pint or two to take home if I could. When I suggest Mexican, my wife's first question is always "El Agave??" And I'm almost always happy to assent. We've been here dozens of times; this review is long-overdue. If you are looking for San Diego-class Mexican, where every part of every dish is on the verge of collapsing under the weight of its own flavor, you're in the wrong place. Normally I'd give 4 stars. But El Agave earns its 5th just by being *comfortable*. It's reliable, no-miss, well-portioned, well-priced, quite tasty, nearby, and it's served promptly with a smile. You won't go wrong here-- and like the Terminator, you'll be back.

The exterior looks worn down and unassuming. The interior is small but was able to accommodate our party. The service was good, with both bartenders taking turns serving our table. I ordered happy hour chips and queso, and the queso felt very unfresh and can-like. They only offer one basket of chips & salsa complimentary per the menu but we were a party of 5 and received two. My happy hour app was rung up as regular price. The hard shell bean tacos I ordered had very little beans in them and only beans, no other toppings. There was lettuce, tomato, and cheese on the plate on the side, so I had to dress my own tacos. They tasted okay, not great, not bad. The $6 Monday margaritas are for the 12 oz and are made strong. It's a $1 more for a flavor and $1 more for a larger size (16 oz). The men's bathroom is small and had two urinals that are right next to the bathroom door. I will probably stick with my usual spot in Laurel, called Chido's.
