Side for the fajitas
Kathy F.

We stopped for a quick bite and we're delighted. I ordered the chicken fajitas and my partner had the chimichanga. They both were good....mine was the best!! The meat and veggies were charred just right! The service was good. Fast and friendly. And the interior was cute. All in all it was good.

Street tacos
Denise H.

Decided to grab some lunch on the go, so I picked some El Meson for my son and I. My son had the fajitas and thought it tasted authentic and the chicken was tender. I tried both the street tacos and the Americanized version. They were ok. I will say the beans and rice were tasty, probably my favorite among the chain restaurants. The cheese dip was just the right thickness and had a lot of flavor. Satisfying lunch.

Margarita sampler and a beer
Jade G.

Loved the waiter! He was very friendly and personable with all his customers. The tables and chairs were fun to look at. The portions of food were a good size for the price. I forgot to take pictures of my food which I was very happy about. I also got the margarita sampler and a beer.

Slow time. Good time to come!

My husband and I met here mid-week for an event dinner. There was only one other table and a couple guys at the bar. That was fine with me because we ordered and had our drinks fairly quickly after we arrived. Our sever was kind and helpful when we asked about certain dishes on the menu. The chips and salsa were free and delicious. Our meals arrived quickly and we were both pleased with our choices. I got a veggie burrito (it came with two) and it was good! I got the cheese on the side and my dish came just as I ordered it. I think the quality of food is good for the price. I wouldn't say it's my absolute favorite but it ranks top ten. I'd definitely go back!

Solid brick cheese

I should have known better than to try Mexican food outside of Texas. This food had Mexican flavor but not well done. My fajitas were all vegetables. The guacamole was slimy looking and had too much pico in it. My daughters cheese enchiladas had hard unmelted cheese throughout and the machaca meat that was supposed to be on it was not available. Instead of telling us they had no meat when we ordered they brought it out and said sorry we are out of meat. "You want taco meat instead?" Not even the chips and dips were good. Not going back.oh and service was bad. Slow and had to ask for everything and got it piece by piece.

My wife and I tried it. It was worse than average. It wasn't very expensive so that was a plus.

Agave and Rye was an absolute standout. The menu is packed with so many creative, over-the-top taco…read moreoptions that choosing just a few felt almost impossible in the best way. I ended up going with the taco flight and selected two Crown Jewel tacos -- the truffle mac and cheese with lobster -- along with one Island Banger, featuring coconut shrimp and mango salsa. Every single taco was phenomenal. The flavors were bold, layered, and genuinely exciting. What really sets them apart is their signature double-tortilla approach: a fried hard shell tucked inside a soft tortilla. It creates the perfect contrast of crunch and softness in every bite and holds up incredibly well to the generous fillings. Between the inventive combinations, fun menu, and the unbelievable execution, this was a top-tier taco experience from start to finish.

The food is very good in this trendy, downtown eatery. Creative Tex-Mex. Be sure to try the side…read moredish Elote - excellent. BUT, our service was abysmal. I can't speak to the other wait staff, but our guy clearly had other things on his mind. Every part of our visit took way longer than it should have. We were done about 30 minutes before we ever managed to get our checks and pay. So, I'd make sure to pay for a couple of hours of parking. I'm going to attribute all that to this particular waiter, and judge the place on its other merits. The person you get might be quick and attentive. All in all, this place wasn't my cup of tea, to be charitable. The decor was pretty over the top. Young adult is obviously their demographic. I'm 65, so take that into account. Taste, of course is an individual thing. Therefore, I'm giving the food about a 7, the ambiance a 2, and hope I'm never served by our waiter again .

My family was staying at a nearby hotel and decided to try this place for dinner after a concierge…read moresuggested it. So happy we did! It was delicious. We enjoyed strawberry margaritas, queso, Mayan fajitas, steak tacos and kids Mac & cheese. Service was great & the restaurant was very clean. Would definitely go back if we're in Chattanooga.

The bathrooms are always clean, which I appreciate. Paid street parking is usually easy to find, though during busy hours it can take a little more time. The veggie fajitas are an absolute treat and full of flavor. The guacamole is fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the salsa is truly top notch. One of the most delightful surprises is that the churros are vegan, and they are unforgettable. The Papillón dish is especially meaningful. It can be made vegan and comes from the owner's grandmother's recipe in Guatemala. That personal touch really shines through and makes the menu feel inspired and unique. There used to be a young blonde male bartender who was hands down one of the best servers I have ever had. He was personable and somehow remembered both your order and your conversations even months later. That level of hospitality really stood out. Prices are not cheap, and the ingredients are not explicitly organic, but the quality, flavor, and thoughtful menu make it well worth it. Highly recommend if you are looking for consistently great food and a standout dining experience in Chattanooga.
