Sometimes restaurants here can get tired of their own customers during the summer tourist season (if you've ever been to a restaurant here on a Friday or Saturday night in the summer you know!), but not so at Agaves. Within a few seconds of seating ourselves, the waiter brought chips and salsa to our table and then came back a minute or two later and took our drink order. The indoor dining space is nice, bright, and clean. The salsa was fresh. The drinks came out really quickly and the man serving us was very good--he didn't need to write down our orders and even remembered the changes we made. I had fajitas and my husband had two taco entrees. It was a generous amount of food and very delicious! The place had a very welcoming vibe. We will definitely return!

The fresh made guacamole is hands down the best of any other I've had in Massachusetts, and the specialty margaritas are amazing. The ambiance is fantastic! The restaurant itself is very cozy, and the decor is bright and welcoming. I most often sit out on their patio with my dog, and the views of the surrounding area are so beautiful and relaxing. Lastly, the service here is first rate. The staff here are such sweet and friendly people, and they love my dog, so it doesn't get any better than that! Edel is one of the standout staff. He is always warm and friendly, very attentive, and a pleasure have as a server. In short, I really like this place, and it is always a pleasure dining here, from start to finish. Highly recommended, for sure!

Not too salty or acidic, but rather, savory, rich and creamy, and a veritable meal unto itself. I got three tacos with shrimp, carne, and fried cod. Super high quality ingredients. The carne was a little dry but easily remedied with the green tomato salsa. The food at the other tables was equally impressive. Especially the grilled octopus. I saw many remnants from Hanks, the previous restaurant, but it was lighter and more colorful and festive, with hanging banners, and friendly upbeat bar tenders and hosts, who were genuinely hospitable and attentive.

As soon as we entered we were greeted by a wonderful aroma - as well as by a super friendly young woman named Louisa. The restaurant was not busy - only one other couple- and Louisa said we could sit anywhere. She gave us menus and after a few minutes took our drink order. After bringing the drinks she took our food order. I got a grilled chicken burrito and my wife ordered a veggie burrito- with added mole (a chocolatey sauce). Our food arrived timely and smelled absolutely wonderful. The burritos were packed with filling and were quite scrumptious! The grilled chicken in mine was spiced rather uniquely and was absolutely terrific. My wife's burrito had a great variety of veggies and my wife loved it. We highly recommend this eatery and know you will not be disappointed if you give it a try. It is located down a side street and easy to miss but it is definitely worth your effort to locate it.

I think what I can't get over is the prices of the food and how it was just ok. Not bad, but not excellent. Some stuff I get if it's a little on the pricey side. If you're serving up a homemade mole that took hours to make I get it, but some other stuff, like the carnitas taquitos (they had another name I can't remember) 18 bucks for 5 of em with rice and beans, yikes! I think the plus side though is that they tasted very fresh, these beans didn't come out of a can so I appreciated that. We ordered aguas frescas and they were not authentic. It was pretty much a concentrated syrup that you add water to. There was some stuff on the menu where I couldn't believe the price point, 13 bucks for some chips with guac, why? Service was ok, it just seemed like the waiter's mind was elsewhere. Again, not bad, but not amazing, expect it to be a pricey bill.

You can feel and taste the love they put into the food. The service was beyond and above what we expected. We were checked on constantly and made sure we were happy.

But they were more than kind switching it out with olive oil and butter for every dish we ordered and were meticulous about changing us from refried to black beans to avoid even pre-made Canola-laden food. Kennedy was a caring young man serving us, and his mom, Adrianna, backed him up to assure our complete satisfaction. This is a family place. I asked if the kitchen crew were also their family. Adrianna smiled and said, "Different family, but yes, family." We enjoyed a top sirloin steak with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled (olive oil) onions. So delicious. And my birthday hubby had Cameron (shrimp) al mojo (garlic sauce), which was wonderful to his last spoonful of mojo sauce. We topped off a perfect dinner with the best flan ever, swimming in caramel and generous and so beautiful. We shall return.
