The interior is very spacious and can host both large family/parties and smaller intimate diners. We shared a ceviche for an appetizer and it was fresh and the right amount of spicy. I ended up getting the chicken mole for my main and it was so deeply flavored and delicious. My boyfriend also enjoyed his vegetarian tamale which was served with a spicy roja sauce. Sterling our server was very sweet and attentive. They were so nice and brought out birthday dessert flan for me, candle and all. Would absolutely recommend La Calle in Fells Point to anyone looking for a nice intimate dinner or booking out a big party.

The house margaritas and El Diablo cocktails were fantastic. We split a few dishes: the queso fundido, which was fantastic, and the salmon ceviche was so soft and delicious. For my entree, I absolutely loved the enchiladas verdes, and my husband had the enchiladas rojas and loved them, too! Our friends had the soup and the quesadillas and had nothing but good things to say about them. Can't wait to come back!

Super cute spot offering scrumptious tacos and mouth-watering drinks…read more I came in wanting to get take-out and decided to order the ribeye tacos with a side of pina salsa. The service was a bit slow, but there was only one person doing bar and taking orders, so she was getting everyone as fast as she could. Since I got takeout I didn't get to try their drink selection, but they looked absolutely divine. The tacos had an amazing flavor and the onions were caramelized to perfection, but overall it was a bit dry. There was a crema on top, but it didn't help to add moisture. The pina salsa was incredible though-- you can tell they use fresh pineapple instead of canned, and it wasn't spicy at all. The to-go order even came with a really cute branded bag! I would definitely recommend this spot. However next time I go, I would get some extra sauce on the side to make up for the dryness.

I truly…read moreenjoyed how vibrant the ambiance is, as it is decorated with live plants, bamboo finishes, and bright colors. The tacos are clearly made with love! Each taco is extremely fresh and I can tell that it was crafted meticulously in the kitchen. Be mindful that each taco is priced separately and you get a single taco ranging from $10.00 - 15.00. The guacamole is fresh and garnished with strawberries. Personally, I typically go for a spicier and more flavorful guac, but if you opt for a fresh and simple dish, then it certainly checks the box. The queso is thick, cheesy, and topped with peppers. I personally could appreciate a creamier queso, but I will say the dish looks and smells amazing. The oysters are rather small in size but they're extremely fresh and come topped with a jalapeño. My expectations for the drinks were a bit higher than what they delivered. Drinks tasted a bit watery and the flavor wasn't as potent (this says a lot for someone like myself who is pretty light weight). Service was fairly accommodating, however, keep in mind that they enforce a rule of having half of your party there prior to seating you. Also be mindful that their menu changes to dinner at 5:00PM, and seating at the outside bar may be closed depending on when you arrive. My favorite of all the dishes was the was the Al Pastor taco! I'd like to give this place another try because just based off of the aesthetic alone it has sooo much potential to be absolutely amazing!

Mmmmmm! Good ole' comfort food in the form of tacos and home-cooked chips. We wanted some tacos…read moreand this spot was close, rated high on Yelp, and that's all we needed to know. Don't let the outside deceive you. Once you walk in you'll smell the fresh cilantro and chile. It took a bit to translate the menu, but you'll figure it out. There are plenty of options. The server helped us figure it out and we were set. I ordered the El pastor tacos, beans & rice, and tortilla chips. The tacos were theeee best! What I loved the most is that the corn tortillas didn't fall apart!!! I hate it when I go to eat a taco and it falls apart. They cooked the tortillas enough so they held up, but were still soft. Did I already say how good the tacos were?! Along with the meat is cilantro, some onions, and you can top it with some green chili sauce. Sooooo good! The pico de Gallo was some of the best I've ever had. I know what you're thinking. How could you go wrong with pico de Gallo? Yeah, I wonder the same thing, but this pico was FRESH with just the right ratio of tomato, onion, cilantro, etc. Next time I'll order two of them. The chips are restaurant-made. That was our first indicator that the food was going to be ALL that we hoped it would be. AND it was. The beans were pinto beans. Memories from home and the ultimate comfort food. The were cooked perfectly with just enough seasoning. The rice was perfectly cooked too. This is the taco spot you need to try.

Health: A menu with wide variety and genuine Hispanic cuisine is more than appreciated. Rice,…read moresalad, meat, soups. It's there and cooked without oil immersion or the awful trap of terrible portioning. Here, the nutrients shine. And that is healthy. Price: Decent. Very Decent. Everything I bought there was roughly over 45 dollars (before the tipping) and keep in mind, the condiments and sauces were complimentary. For this quality and quantity? I definitely got my money's worth. Experience: Wonderful server. Even in a busy dinner cycle, she came over and literally started to hand me a menu almost right as I sat down. Even gave me a great recommendation for the Enchilada platter and brought the holster of extras over to the table as well. The food was delivered quickly, and the small details (utensils, cleanliness, chair organization etc.) were great. Taste: Honestly this place is a standout for seasoning. It's flavorful, unique, and skewed towards spices over oil. Tasteful impact, without the baggage. A gem. Even among so many other restaurants serving this cuisine in the area I've tried, this is a standout. I'll come eat here again. You should too. It's right next to Patterson park with so many parking spaces nearby. I'm gonna run here. Soon.

Both were good but, the oaxcaca and packed a flavor punch. It complimented the pico with the chips. For my main, I ordered the seared Ahi tacos. Nicely prepared. Cooked but, still had that fresh pink color. Nicely seasoned and awesome portion sized for pricing. I did add a little guac and pico taco for added flavor. To wash it down, I sipped a peach Palmer. Think Baltimore half and half with added peach flavor and Vodka. A refreshingly boozy good time. Our server Diana was a pro with our table of 10. I'd recommend this spot for big groups. Just be forewarned they don't multiple cards on a large tab. Would definitely come back again and again.

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.
