    An assortment of tacos.
    Sebastian H.

    Read the many great reviews and just had to add Maya to the list. It was the last of 3 stops. Empty is always a slight red flag for me. But not a deterrent. We pressed on. Sat down and got a bunch of tacos to try the variety of flavors. We got almost one of each kind. Overall....hmmm....how to word this respectfully.... The horchata and agua de jamaica were both delicious. I felt the flavors mixed the mark and the meat was on the dry side. 2.75 ENJOY!!!

    Pozole with 6  the 2 bean + cheese thing comes with the soup.

    I had a craving for legit Mexican food so I risked being carjacked by coming to Passaic for lunch. I intended to go to the Mex. Deli but they had a long wait so I settled for here. I am glad I stop here for lunch. Because the tacos are really good. I liked how the tortilla was semi fried and stuffed well with filling. I ordered the pozole soup, 2 chorizo, 2 carnita, and 2 Al pastor tacos. I always forget that pozole always comes with a couple of bean hard shell tacos. Didn't matter I ate everything except for the free chips and salsa. I should've ordered a horchata to wash everything down. The Mex. Coke was not enough.

    Orden de Tacos de Bistec

    I usually go to Mexico Deli but it's an hour round trip away, it's cold...and I was feeling lazy. I found this place and they deliver to my house!! Ordered: Tacos de bistec - they are huge and the meat is so flavorful. Bonus points for all the lime they included and the grilled jalapeño. The price is reasonable. Flautas - liked but accidentally got queso ones instead of pollo. Will try pollo next time instead. Enchiladas verdes - haven't had time to try but I'm told they were spicy and good. Chips - not usually a fan of thin chips but these are homemade, crispy, and yum. Agua de Horchata - cold and delicious. Enough said. Overall, this place is solid and I think I may have found a new favorite.

    I order from this restaurant every week! I literally can't get enough of their delicious food. Their quality is consistent, my orders are always correct & packaged very well... they never disappoint! I highly recommend you give them a try because you will be nothing less than satisfied. The food is refreshingly light & doesn't make you feel like you've over done it. There are 5 tacos in each order which is the perfect amount in my opinion. I always order the same sides: quesillo, crema, & salsa verde. Their portions are very generous, they don't skimp on ANYthing. They give you an ample amount of cucumbers, limes, & radishes to go with your order. Even the grilled veggies (peppers, green onions) that come with the order are super tasty & compliment the dish very well.

    This place is underrated, Tacos at 1.25$ mi genteee....We order here frequently as a Mexican I have to say it's become on of my fav casual mexican spots... they have Aguachiles, the Tinga Tostadas are amazing (Chicken slow cooked in Tomato and Chipotle sauce), Tacos Al Pastor (pork) and Bistec (steak), and I ordered a side of nopales(grilled cactus) to complete the order. The place is family run and I love it feels like I'm home. Horchata is good not overly sugary and they have jarritos all the Mexican sodas...if you're looking for something authentic this is the spot dont forget to ask for both salsa Roja and verde!

    Guacamole, so good.

    came here with a couple friends. loved the vibe of them putting throwback music videos on the…read morescreen. they were playing some good early 2000s music. loved the ambience. i didn't have the food but my frozen margarita was great. i need to come back and try things on the menu.

    I'm really not the one to give a 1 star review but I had to…read more I came in to agave for Valentine's Day with my lady and we had a reservation which first off we weren't on the list but got seated anyways. We were then told which I believe should've been the owner or manager we had to move to a different table and he'll give us a free margarita on the house. Our waiter arrived to wipe down the table because the table we were changed to was dirty and we put in a order for drinks and a appetizer and asked if she can come back in 5 minutes to take our main dish order. It took over 20 minutes to get our drink and our waiter quickly rushed away and this was the last interaction we had and got checked up on from this point. Keep in mind we got seated at 8:15 PM and we got our drinks around 8:45. From this point no one came up to us to put in our entree order and me and my date were starving and our waiter was serving others around us but was completely ignoring us and rushing away. Finally after 9:30 PM after more than 1 hour of not receiving our appetizer we put or nor our waiter putting in our main dish I asked for the check for the 2 drinks I ordered and left. Never have I ever gotten up from a restaurant table and left because of bad service and I been here at this spot couple times and even on holidays and never received this treatment. The manager then gave us complimentary appetizer and dessert but at this point I wanted to leave and did not even touch it. I shouldn't have to complain and ask for my check for you guys to finally give what I wanted. On top of that we never got the free drinks we were promised. Thanks agave for messing up my valentines date night, we ended up eating Wendy's 10 piece chicken nuggets and fries that were given to us in 2 minutes.

    Passed by randomly and decided to stop by with my laptop during the day and do some work…read more Turned out it was happy hour and the food options were incredible. I sat by the bar for convenience and the bartender Aisha was a gem. She gave some great recommendation and even better drinks. Happy I found the place, will def be going back.

    Unfortunately, Viva Margarita has gone completely downhill…read more My friends and I ordered drinks that were genuinely undrinkable they tasted like motor oil. They were, without exaggeration, the worst drinks we've ever been served. We politely asked if they could be remade and explained how bad they tasted. The waiter told us they could make new drinks but would still charge us for both the disgusting drinks and the replacements. He said he'd speak to the bartender, then disappeared and only returned when our food arrived, clearly trying to avoid the issue. When I asked if he spoke to the bartender, he casually said, "That's how the drinks are made," and that nothing could be done. At that point, we accepted the overpriced drinks and didn't even drink them. It was Taco Tuesday, which somehow made things worse. The tacos didn't meet even Taco Bell standards. To make matters unacceptable, I bit into a taco and pulled out a hair from my mouth. Based on how dismissive the waiter had already been, I hesitated to say anything and unfortunately, my instinct was right. When my friends told him about the hair, he laughed and said it was my hair, then claimed the chef is bald so it must be mine. I'm not sure how my hair would end up inside a taco, but he outright accused us of planting it there. After that, we were ignored for the rest of the night. The restaurant was practically empty, yet the service was hostile, dismissive, and unprofessional. The atmosphere felt dead and uncomfortable. This used to be a nice place, but that experience is completely gone. Between the awful drinks, low-quality food, and shockingly rude service, this was an all-around terrible experience. We won't be returning.
