Take the stars in context. This is an American Mexican restaurant. It is not traditional, it is not…read moreTex-Mex, and it is not Taco Bell. What it is is a damn fine representation of what it is trying to do. The complementary chips and salsa are surprisingly good, with the chips served warm and the salsa having a nice little bit of heat. The mains were unexpectedly good. Honestly, my bar was pretty low for Mexican food in WV. My Acapulco Cheesesteak was a gooey, sloppy delicious mess of grilled steak and onions swimming in a lagoon of lightly spiced queso sauce. The refried beans were excellent and may very well have been scratch-made. The Carne Asada was similar to the cheesesteak, just minus the cheese. The guac that came with wasn't bad at all. They serve Texas margaritas and I've seen smaller soup bowls. The regular size was more than enough and plenty strong. The staff is friendly and the restaurant looks like it might have once been a Chili's/Shoney's/Friday's etc. Plenty of parking, though, and a very short walk from the nearby motels.

It's hard to really come up with bad things to talk about when it comes to Los Agaves without honestly sounding a bit petty. I will warn that they get fairly busy around lunch time, for good reason, so it gets a bit loud. If you're a person that cannot deal with crowds or a bit of chatter from your fellow patrons then you may want to hold off and pick a less busy time for a well deserved visit.

Clash of Two Towns -- Comparing South Charleston's Los Agaves to Montgomery's El Jalisco…read moreI'm a big fan of Jalisco Pasta and Jalisco Dip from El Jalisco. Those are two of my go-tos. I haven't been to Los Agaves in years. Honestly, the last time might have been while I was still with my ex, and that's been a hot minute! I noticed some similarities in the menus and that's how I came up with the idea to compare the two. Los Agaves has a Los Agaves Dip with steak, chicken, and shrimp. Sound familiar? Yes, it is almost identical to Jalisco Dip. However, it is a tad cheaper and a tad better, honestly. It is $10.95 at Los Agaves and $11.95 in Montgomery. It's a tight race but Los Agaves would win in a dip challenge. Next up was the pasta. I ordered the Pasta Bowl. The difference between this pasta and El Jalisco are the noodles. Los Agaves uses penne while El Jalisco uses fettuccine. Jalisco Pasta will run you around $13.95 for the chicken and shrimp. Los Agaves gives you the option of steak ($11.25), chicken ($10.95), or shrimp ($12.25). This is where El Jalisco blew Los Agaves out of the water. There was zero comparison here. Los Agaves Pasta Bowl was dry as heck. I searched desperately for the queso sauce which had coagulated to the bottom of the bowl. It was so dry that I poured the rest of my dip on the penne noodles to make it palatable. That is seriously the only way I could eat it, and I still couldn't finish it. It was so yucky that I gave the leftovers to David and HE wouldn't even eat it. And you know my kid is like Mikey -- he'll eat anything. I DID like comparing these two places and I would DEFINITELY eat some more of that Dip though!

The things I liked: Queso dip - this was nice and thin, hot…read moreand had the peppers to add a tiny bite. Dripping this on the chips and my Mexican rice was my favorite part of the meal, Guacamole - the fresh diced tomatoes and red onion added crunch and flavor which I really enjoyed. Salsa - I'm a little torn on this. The salsa was fresh and flavorful but there is a different flavor here that I can't put my finger on that tasted different from other Charleston area Mexican restaurants of tried when in town. I also ordered the combination taco plate with Birria taco and chicken tinga. I wasn't expecting sour cream in the chicken tinga taco so I couldn't finish that. I tried to eat around to get the chicken but the sauce was not very good. This didn't taste like chicken tonga and I wouldn't order it again. The Birria taco also did not taste like Birria that I've had. This was more like beef roast on a taco with toppings. It wasn't bad and it wasn't good but it also didn't come with consume which was disappointing. The sides were rice and beans and while they were ok, I was expecting more flavor and authentic Mexican cheese instead of the plain shredded cheese on top. This was very, very Americanized Mexican food but I think they know their audience. Whatever you do, don't order a Margherita from here. I should've learned my lesson about Charleston area Mexican restaurants the last time I was in town but unfortunately I thought it was just the other restaurant down the block. I'm convinced they use grain alcohol or some other very cheap liquor in these in some of the Mexican restaurants in the area. The flavor was way off and was definitely not tequila. I only had this drink on a full stomach and it gave me a headache and nausea the next day.

I wasn't overly impressed as it tasted like your standard Mexican flare. The second visit I ordered the shrimp fajitas and they were fantastic. I would order that again, however the service is poor and the bathrooms are so filthy. Not sure I would go back after seeing how dirty the bathrooms were. Makes me wonder how clean the kitchen is when preparing the food for their patrons. I would say that the gentlemen who takes the order and serves the food is friendly. It's the women staff that are extremely rude.

Just your usual chain Mexican restaurant with lots of space inside. We were seated instantly and there was no wait on the chips and salsa (the best part). Our server was attentive and friendly.

Restaurant is huge and even though it was quite busy, we were immediately seated. I had assumed it might be a bit slow since they were so busy. Not at all-I've never seen so many servers hustling so hard. Our chips and salsa were quickly dropped off while we studied the menu. Chips were warm and fresh and the salsa had a nice taste to it. We both opted for fajitas-one steak and one chicken. Both the steak and chicken were excellent in my opinion. Vegetables and meats had a nice tasting "simmer sauce" which produced great flavors. As I had mentioned the excellent service, drinks were never left empty. Also, this has never happened to me in a Mexican restaurant - the manager or owner was active on the floor and stopped by to insure or meal was good. It was better than good. A nice surprise finding Las Trancas.
