Dessert waitress didn't say it was a Mother's Day surprise
Kimetra B.

Recommend for the wine and spirits.. Food mediocre not really fulfilling. Service was ok waitress new she was getting 18% off top on party of 4 only came to the table to take order and when it was time to pay! Ambiance standard... Would I return probably not.. desert featured the waitress never said what it was. It was just a Mother's Day surprise.

Short Ribs (supposedly)

Ordered the new short ribs and received a big chunk of fatty greasy meat. Ordered chips and queso, queso was a cold block of cheese. Tekila needs to do better. The food i received tonight shows they blatantly do not care.

Toasted coconut crème brûlée
Steve Z.

First time here and I will certainly be back. This is high-end Mexican eats. Service was great but the food was better. From the chips and salsa, to the appetizers, to the entrees and finishing up with dessert. I was literally stuffed and continued to eat, as the flavors were popping off and I couldn't justify stopping. If you are in the area, do not miss out on this gem.

Pineapple martini

Saturday afternoon 4 guests and the place was jumping. The food was good but it's not consistent. I've had the seafood fajitas 3 times and its different everytime, good but different. Service is always good and bathrooms are always clean. The price point is a little on the higher end and food doesn't always match. Cocktails vary like bartenders but still good. The Tequila sampler was not my favorite but everyone loved the tacos and my sizzling seafood was good. I can taste the difference from when they first open til now. 3 cocktails, sampler, 3 tacos and seafood fajitas was $215 with tip

Flautas De Tinga
ashley p.

We've eaten here several times and it is an absolute fav! The food is incredible, tried several dishes and all have been outstanding. Service is top notch. Our server stayed on top of our drinks, was very nice, and made great recommendations. The drip burger is a must try, as is the cauliflower app. The flautas were amazing! It is so pretty and modern inside, down to the dessert platter presentation. Highly recommend!

Our server's name was AK, he was absolutely the best! He had several tables and disappeared but I didn't have any worries or concerns because he always seemed to return before I even knew I needed something. He told jokes, good sense of humor. He joked around but he was also efficient and despite the kitchen being busy and the bar busy, we still got good and drinks in a timely manner with excellent customer service. The establishment is very spacious, its 2 levels and outside eating on the ground floor along with upstairs. Everything is very modern and the food is Tex -Mexican but no complaints. Very flavorful, tender. Delicious just as expected

Lunch Steak Bowl

Stopped in for lunch. Service was great, everyone was very pleasant and attentive. The food was FABULOUS. When fast food can cost closer to $20 than $10, my meal was under $20. The food tasted great and the portion was more than enough. If you're a drinker, the pineapple maragita is a recommend.

Short rib melted in my mouth like butter! Potatoes were divine!

The atmosphere was amazing, our waiter CJ was on top of his game with the customer service and food recommendations. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing! 10/10! I cannot wait to return and sit on the beautiful patio

Sweet-Chili Salmon
Tommie W.

Great food, great service, salmon was delicious. Jumbo margarita was awesome. I love the color scheme of the restaurant also

Fajitas
Angie J.

This place is a favorite of mine and many others because they're always busy. Parking needs improvement. The lot isn't big enough for the crowds they draw. I'm sure you can park at the nearby shopping center so be mindful you may have to circle the lot a few times. I love the ambiance and service. I've never had a bad experience in that department. Our server this particular visit was extra attentive which was nice. Food is always good too. Haven't had anything I haven't liked. This place is on repeat for me. I can't even go to another Mexican restaurant right now!

I visited Agave Mexican Restaurant and overall had a good experience. My waitress, Taniyah, was…read moreincredibly kind, courteous, and polite. She did seem a bit busy and forgot about me a couple of times, but honestly, I didn't mind (this time)...I enjoyed the solo time to people-watch and savor my meal. I was seated near the kitchen alongside a group of younger waitresses, and the section filled with customers was mostly small groups and couples. Unfortunately, one young waitress (I'd guess around 18-20) was loudly using profanity, dropping F-bombs and openly saying she didn't care. It came across as rude and unprofessional, and I hope that kind of behavior doesn't become a reflection of the restaurant in the future. On a positive note, the lunch fajitas were delicious and a very generous portion. Despite the distraction in my seating area by the cussing, disgruntled young waitress, the food and my waitress's, Taniyah, friendly service stood out.

I have found this place to be pretty consistent in my experiences…read more Granted.... I have only eaten one item here myself. I have now had the wife and a kid come too. They agree with me on my point of view, so here we go. My first visit I was totally skeptical. I had read the reviews, which seemed overwhelmingly positive. This is other than the asshats who get mad when they spend 8 hours of their "hard earned pay", and the all time classic of they "ain't happy this time, after all these years, they pissed me off this time" two star reviews. Side note: Spread the love when you can, and write good reviews when you have good experiences. Don't wait and write a bad one after one bad visit. Ugh. You walk in and it's bright, loud, hectic, gringos everywhere! I knew from the drop, as soon as I walked through the door it's far from authentic Mexican food, but totally "Mississippian Top of the Sip Mex" ™. That's another new one, you can use that one, as long as you pay me. Contact me for details, we can work something out. My number is (662) 513-0796. Now that the legal stuff is out of the way. Resuming.... My first visit, when my completely American server walked up and greeted me I was offered a "MS TOTSM" gosh durn bible of concoctions consisting of the same thing repurposed to trick the high brow MS masses to believe they have choices. I had not realized El Agave and Tate Reeves had so much in common. Stay on track, Adam!! This is Yelp! One thing stuck out to me that you generally see in decent Tex Mex to real deal Mexican food where no one speaks English. Chile Verde!!! I asked her about it, told her how reluctant I was ordering it based on her and my current environment (that brought a look), and she all she just said was "try it", so reluctantly I did. Sometimes I just need a lady to take control and tell me what to do. I'm there eating chips and salsa all patient and stuff... Boom! What comes out looks like baby poo. We might be on to something here!!! Could it be? The pork tips were swimming in green salsa, which was promising. I take a chip and dunk it in the verde.... Here we go! It's tangy, punchy, sweet, and spicy!!! Now all I need is the pork to not suck.... Holy shit!! It doesn't suck! It's actually good!!! Everything else is an afterthought. Rice. Blah. Beans. Blah. They are fine I guess. Just the norm, but the salsa on the pork steals the show!!! I eat it all up! I've came four or five times solo on lunch shopping excursions to Tanger and my Verde has always been a winner! On the family visit, C had a taco and an enchilada. Kiddo had the famous P-10, or MS Mush as I call it. They both ate it up so it must be good. Kid even took the rest home and ate it later. I'll be back for my baby poo pork! You can guarantee that!!

The service staff were excellent. There needs to be an update on the taste of food and maybe update on the menu.

The restaurant is described as Latin/Mexican, though we noticed the kitchen staff didn't appear to be Latin or Hispanic, which stood out to us. One thing that surprised us was that chips and salsa are not complimentary. The menu itself is huge--burgers, quesadillas, bowls, fried fish, wings, and more--so it felt more like a mix of different cuisines than a traditional Mexican spot. We did order the chips and salsa, and honestly, that ended up being the best thing we had. For our entrées, I ordered the fried fish and my husband got the BBQ shrimp quesadilla. His quesadilla was extremely runny and messy, and the only flavor that really came through was the BBQ sauce it was heavily covered in. My fried fish portion was generous, but the flavor was just okay. I ended up eating only about two pieces. I also tried the blood orange margarita, which was decent but tasted like it barely had any alcohol in it. Overall, the service was pleasant, but the food and drinks didn't impress us enough to make us want to return.

We came in for dinner. I had been here once before several years ago and the place is totally…read moreremodeled since then. There is a full bar, but I just had an Arnold Palmer. It's kind of dark inside with dark ceilings and floors and paneling and it does make it slightly difficult to see the menu if you're gettin' up there in years! Not me of course. I'm young and spry. I had a mole de pollo which was quite good. The mole sauce was very good, it had a nice subtle heat. We had our chips and salsa refilled which was nice. Everyone was nice I've only got one real complaint and that is this - my son is 21 years old and has Down syndrome but he is perfectly capable of eating and drinking just like anyone else however when our beverages were brought over his beverage was put in a kids cup with a lid where's the rest of us got regular glasses. I'd prefer places presume competence and if I don't ask for a kids cup just put his beverage in a regular glass like the rest of us at the table got. If nothing else ask me if he is good with a regular cup.

I was hankering for some chips and salsa and Mexican food…read more For starters, the restaurant was DARK! Like, realllllly dark. Sure, it's true I'm in my 6th decade of life. So maybe my eyes aren't young eyes. But I shouldn't require a flashlight to read the danged menu! We ordered drinks. My son, who has disabilities, was served his drink in a lidded cup while everyone else got a regular open cup. He's 21!!!! If he needed a lid, we wouid have asked for it. I know it's a relatively small thing. I understand the waiter meant no harm. But it's a big pet peeve of mine. He's 21! The food was fine. It scratched my itch. I'm good for a while on the Mexican front.
