    I have returned after many visits over the years. I simply can't avoid it when traveling in/out of BWI.... Muy authentico! So tasty! Located in a strip mall with a small, (six table), dining room, the place has changed it's way of providing full service. You go mid-way back along the wall and place you order through a plexiglass panel. They will then deliver the food to your table along with plastic ware. Will we EVER be free from these Covid measures that keep me scratching my noggin'?!

    Tacos, order of 3

    Great, great, great place for tacos and tortas!!! When it comes to a Mexican food, I get very picky and demanding. We ordered to go, had tacos, tortas and a slice of tres leches cake. The tacos were king, did not disappoint. It came with the works (chopped onion and cilantro with a side of radish, cucumber, lime and green onion), just the way we eat it at least in Mexico city The sopes comes in a order of 3, choose your poison of meat , even though stull needs some improvements, it was a good dish and great size seving. The torta... well another amazing delicuos surprise. We got al pastor (pork marinated meat). The bread was perfect and so was everything they add to it. If you really would like to know how it's done, this is the place to try an authentic Mexican torta. Only downfall was... the tres leches, I was open to the idea to be surprised but they let me down with it. I was expecting a real delicious slice and it was only a piece of cake soaked in a mix of milk and condensed milk. Not the best pice I have tried, but will definitely come back to get some more tacos and tortas.

    I HATE myself for waiting 3 years to try this place. I live right up the road and whenever I was in the mood for authentic Mexican food, I went elsewhere, bigger chain places in Glen Burnie. BIG MISTAKE. I've been too intimidated by everything written in Spanish outside their doors to try and make the effort to place an order here and I did one night through Grubhub since it was easier to navigate. Everything was DELICIOUS. I ate so slowly to savor this meal longer. I loved it to much, I placed another order for dinner the next week. AND I NEVER EAT OUT. I try to avoid take out as much as possible to save money, but I didn't care. My second visit, I went inside to place my order using a trifold menu at the counter and I just waited at one of the tables. I will come back here again and again!

    Food was sub par at best. I enjoyed the horchata and tres leches but the carne asada torta was bland and the queso had a weird after taste. The fact that the food cost me almost $70 because they have no prices listed anywhere is also upsetting. I feel they overcharged for mediocre food. Probably won't be back

    After moving from California 2 years ago I can finally say I found authentic Mexican food. The tacos were flavorful. The fact it came with lime and radishes and grilled onions made my day. The quesadilla was so big and delicious that my daughter was only able to eat half of it. Definitely adding this to the must go to once a month spots.

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.
