And the Tacos al Carbon were amazing!! Literally the best we've ever had - including at some of the best NY restaurants. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that it took almost an hour to get our food. We came New Year's eve for lunch so it became busy, but I wish the management had planned better and not just had one server (later they added a second). Def eat here!

It was right when they had opened so that's the main reason for the little traffic. The decorations were nice and colorful and the music was perfect. It was a good mix of classical and modern day music. Everything was very clean. The food was fresh and delicious. My wife liked the idea that the lengua was cooked then grilled. The ceviche was very fresh. The cheese stayed melted and the "cheese pull" was a 9 out of 10. The steak was perfectly seasoned and super tender. The burrito filling was a good balance and stuffed with meat. This restaurant ensures that the protein out-weighs the veggies and not too many places do that. This was highly awesome and, not to mention, filling. We had a couple of cervesas but they didn't have it in a draft; bottle only. I also ordered the margarita w/ cononita and a passion fruit Mojito. The mojito was freshly made and strong . Just gotta drink it fast because of the paper straw . Overall, I will definitely be coming back for the amazing food... AND THE DRINKS!

We got there ariund 4pm on a Saturday. It was 4th of July, but we were able to find street parking. And because it was a holiday, we didn't have to pay for parking! When we walked in, the bar was prettyfull, but there were plenty of high tops by the bar that were open. They have 3 TVs set up in the bar area, playing the soccer games. We got there at the perfect time. Our server came and took our drink orders. I went with a classic guava margarita, which I really enjoyed. We ordered tacos, carne and birria and the mixed pupusas. Everything was really good with great flavor. I was very impressed. We stayed for most of the game, and it got pretty busy. They also have a dining area in the back, which also has tvs set up. I would definitely come back and try other options on the menu. This will be a go to in Frederick for sure! Great place for food, drinks, and to watch the games.

They're good, strong, and very reasonably priced. They also run a lot of specials -- both drink specials and food specials -- which is always nice if you're looking for variety or a good deal. Service can vary a little depending on who you get. They seem to have a rotating group of staff, and some servers are more knowledgeable than others, but everyone has always been attentive and friendly. Overall, it's a steady neighborhood spot if you want affordable drinks, a laid-back atmosphere, and a place to hang out without breaking the bank.

A good size and great heat and flavor. 2) The chips and salsa they bring out were good. The salsa was a little thin and not much flavor, but still enjoyable. 3) The regual guacamole (not the fresh one) was very onion heavy. Almost too overpowering. 4) The chicken Tamale and Enchilada were fantastic. 5) The rice was great. Soft and flavorful. 6) The refried beans were bland and needed salt. 7) Birria Tacos were good, but the consumme (dipping birria juice) was also bland. 8) The carne tacos were fantastic. But the best part was how friendly the service was. They were so nice and attentive. I would go back, but I may take my own hot sauce with me.

They make their salsa fresh and it comes unlimited with hot crisp chips prior to your meal. I ordered the chicken flautas for appetizer and the chicken quesadilla and supreme fajita burrito (chicken, shrimp and steak) for the entrees. I was stuffed and had leftovers which was still so tasty the next day. It's a very small and understated space. But even though our server was the only one facing the customers, he was very attentive and checked in on our table several times during our meal. This was good experience and I would've given it five stars if they did something more with the decor. Good food and good service always deserves props.

The ambience is nice and homely, nothing too complicated but more than enough space for a family dinner. Beautiful decorations inside that celebrate El Salvador. Everyone who works there is super sweet and make sure all your needs are met and explain the menu very well. The pupusas are nuts and huge, stuffed to the brim overflowing with cheese and whatever topping you picked. They are so hot and fresh they could sear your lips off genuinely. You watch them cook it fresh on a large stove/ grill and bring it to you in baskets. The cheese they use is salty and delicious and we reallly enjoy the lorroco, jalapeños, and spinach add ins. Don't skip on the sides, their yuca fries are super crispy and thick and I love the crema and plantains. The plantains are almost caramelized and have a decadent sweetness to them that goes so well with the crema. The refried beans are also amazing! Definitely best pupusa spot in Frederick and they are so generous with the stuffing.

From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with their friendly, attentive service. The bartenders were fantastic, crafting delicious drinks and making the happy hour experience even more enjoyable. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Whether you're stopping by for appetizers and cocktails or sitting down for a full meal, you won't be disappointed. I also loved the outdoor patio seating, which is pet-friendly, making it the perfect place to bring your four-legged companion while enjoying the beautiful weather. The indoor dining area is equally impressive--clean, comfortable, and inviting. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that consistently delivers excellent food, outstanding drinks, exceptional customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Agave has definitely earned my recommendation, and I'll be returning again soon. If you're looking for a great local restaurant in Frederick, this is a must-visit! #AgaveFrederick #FrederickMD #SupportLocal #EatLocalFrederick #HappyHourFavorites #PetFriendlyPatio #FrederickEats #CommunityStrong

Well, we were sorely disappointed in what arrived. Including a picture of my Lengua taco. I asked for no onions but keep the cilantro and add cheese and tomato's. Instead, they gave me a horribly tiny portion of meat and nothing else [smh]. My husband was excited to get a breakfast plate. It did not have 1/2 of what was described (no cheese, no avocado, and only a mouthful of rice!). Additionally the eggs were supposed to have "peppers, onions and tomatoes" in them. The peppers were JALAPEÑOS! Loaded. Almost an inedible joke. And, they forgot to send the pupusa I ordered.... Again, very sad. Never again. I can't justify a second chance based on what they served. No pride in what they sent out tonight.
