    Food was decent. Margarita pitcher was horrible. I paid for a pitcher, it was super sour. I was told they couldn't remake it or provide alternative drink. Manager stated "it will taste that way today, tomorrow, and next year." Manager then proceeded to give us syrup to add to it ourselves. Waitress and bartender were nice. I will not be back. I paid for a pitcher, I did not drink and left.

    Walked in and was immediately impressed by the atmosphere. It was light and felt clean. All the staff was professionally dressed and very polite. We got a beer and a frozen Margarita, tacos, a bowl of chipotle cheese, the agave burrito, and tacos. The only thing that could have been better was the cheese. It was the consistency of water. I spooned it over my burrito and that worked fine. I was expecting like a thicker cheese that was more of a dip and less "broth" consistency. The waitress was polite, understood what we asked for, and had perfect timing. Not too lingering and not too distant. The food came out very quickly and tasted fresh. Will be back! Loved it!

    I visited this location while in town for business. I literally have no complaints. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the vibe was awesome! I ordered the guacamole as an appetizer and it was delivered to me in a beautiful hand painted bowl. For my meal, I ordered the build your own combo...I picked 3 items: Chicken quesadilla, beef enchilada, and taquito Mexicano.. All delicious, and served with rice and beans. I definitely recommend this place if you're in the Tuscaloosa area!

    I went two times thinking that the first experience was a fluke, but was met with equally horrendous service both times. Simple substitutions were not only not allowed, the server was quite rude when we asked for these simple things. The type of edits we were asking for are available for online orders and we were willing to pay any price difference, but this server rudely told us that what we wanted wasn’t on the menu and that I “can’t create a new menu item” when I asked to make a dish vegetarian (cheese instead of chicken in the enchilada, not a difficult substitution given the menu offers cheese enchiladas in another dish). Not to mention the soft drink that was brought to me with no ice and the water brought to my friend that had so much ice there was barely room for the water. I can understand a server having a bad day, but to receive service this poor on multiple occasions was ridiculous. Quite disappointed in the service given that the food was actually decent (although not what we were craving due to the lack of flexibility in substitutions). I will never be dining in here again, and it’s a shame given how excited we were for a new mexican spot to go to. Our server was Sheila and we were there at approximately 5 pm both days.

    We’re traveling through Tuscaloosa and I asked our hotel if they recommended a decent restaurant. Our desk clerk recommended El agave saying that the guacamole was really good and that their tortillas were handmade. I’ll give him that the guacamole was pretty good but other than that, we have very different ideas. We were greeted at the door by a very nice hostess. We asked to sit outside and were able to go around the long line of people who wanted to sit in the air-conditioning. our salsa came quickly and then it was crickets for a good 15 minutes. I waitress did take out guacamole order, and our cocktail order. However.she was very unsure of the menu and couldn’t answer any questions. She went to the bar to ask about our cocktail(We asked for a Moscow mule with vodka versus the one with tequila that is on their menu) and that whole process took about 45 minutes. In the meantime, our meal was served and we were done with our dinner by the time the cocktails arrived. And they were with tequila, not vodka but oh well. I do think the white staff is very limited on how they can order the food for you. If it’s not on the menu, it seems they don’t have any way to actually put it into the computer. We waited another 20 minutes or so to ask to get our bill. We finally got up and left the table and went to find her. They do not have the ability to take your credit card at the table. It’s still old school where they have to take your credit card go back into the restaurant, do the computer and bring the bill back to you to be signed. They seem to only have two computers that the wait staff can access to do that in a restaurant that has I would say 40 tables? Those are also the same computers they used to put their orders in (as far as I can tell(. The restaurant was very crowded and we were not the only guests standing at the computer so we could get our bill and leave. This is a chain restaurant I would think that they would have certain things smoothed out. Oh, and a virgin cocktail cost the same as a cocktail with alcohol. The manager told me that’s because I made a special request to have a virgin cocktail. That’s fine too. I did make a special request. However, I will not request to ever go back to this restaurant again. 💯🫪
