    Al pastor for the win!
    Christopher S.

    The al pastor is mouth watering and a delicious treat absent of pretentiousness. The food is the star. If you want authentic food, you need to visit this great team of real people making comfort food. The ambiance is not fancy but take this to the park or to-go and pair it with a cold beer.

    This place has the best taco in Baltimore. Do yourself a favor and come here for the el pastor. It is cooked the right way, on a spit, and then crisped up on the flat top with pineapple. And it's only $3.

    Taco al pastor

    I'm quite sad having lived so close to Taqueria Vargas for 6 years and barely trying it for the first time now. I ordered take out and although it did take much longer than quoted I was able to watch a very talented woman cook in the open kitchen preparing my order. I'm so glad Yelp steered me to try Picaditas with meat because they were absolutely divine and I had never heard of these before. 3 come in one order which is very generous. I also tried lengua and Al pastor tacos, the latter which were super juicy and perfect with the added pineapple. I am from a border city in Texas and think this place is very authentic. Definitely the best Mexican food I've had in Baltimore. Looking forward to trying other menu items!

    Queso fundido
    Insia Z.

    Started with the queso fundido, so delicious and bubbly, truly an experience. I had the huevos rancheros with chicken for lunch and it was super yummy and flavorful with a lot of spices and the right amount of spicy -- the only problem was that I forgot to specify no pork and it came with pork, but that was my fault. Will just clarify next time. My friend got a variety of 5 tacos and he liked all of them! I would totally return.

    Grilled Pollo & grilled carne asada burrito

    If you're craving something warm, filling, and totally satisfying try their incredible Very tasty burrito. Despite the language differences service was great. I will definitely be back to try more on the menu.

    Really yummy, authentic mexican food. We've tried multiple items off the menu on different occasions. It's spicy and delicious everytime. Fast and warm service.

    Tacos de campechanos, lengua, y un taco árabe
    Joshua B.

    The menu is just right, basics and a few specialties, not a novel. Prices appropriate. The taco árabe is fantastic and unique in the city. Highly recommended. Kid friendly.

    Beef Tongue and carne asada taco

    I never leave reviews but I ordered this on uber eats and it was so good I had to leave a review! Excuse the pics because I had already started eating before I took the pictures. The guacamole was super fresh, loved it. I got a carne and beef tongue taco which were also amazing and came with lime and salsa verde. My favorite thing by far was the picaditas! I've never had them before but they were sooooo good. Overall we had an amazing experience and you should definitely give them a try! Super authentic very good food and super inexpensive!

    Chicken enchiladas - delicious
    Lynn C.

    Not ashamed to admit that I crave their cheese enchiladas. Their food is just so good!

    This is what we paid for 4 people. Great prices!!
    Adrian G.

    Highly recommend!! It takes a little longer to get your food because everything is made fresh and by hand. The portions are a good size and the prices are very reasonable for the Baltimore area. I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family!

    5 for $10 taco deal
    Galen S.

    We heard about the MTW 5 tortilla pequeñas for $10 deal so we had to stop by. Went in on a early Wednesday afternoon for a great meal. We ordered the queso fundido as an appetizer and it was fantastic. Came out sizzling and bubbling. It tasted as great as it looked. The 5 tortilla pequeñas for $10 also did not disappoint. It was a great way to sample all of the tacos without breaking the bank. I had the al pastor, campechanos, chorizo, asada, and carnitas tacos. There was a great red and green salsa to pair as well.

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!

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.

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.

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.
