Ok tried this spot out finally after passing by for a few years. I'll be honest i thought after reading some on the reviews i was in for a horrible time. No way this place was great!! Got a seat outside fast and it was Friday night 630-7pm. Had great fast friendly service and the food was bomb! I had bacon wrapped shrimp Delicious!! My wife had beef enchiladas Delicious!! My daughter had the 3 Seafood cocktail Delicious!! Mixed Drinks we're great and all my beers were ice cold!! Never went inside so can't say. Great experience for me and my family. Well return soon. For for those mad about opening so fast after the accident think about the bills this place has to pay plus after a year and a half of the Covid bs.

I come here on Fridays. I have the same waitress every time. She is always making sure I have what I need. She's fast and prompt. I order a regular burrito. It's grilled on both sides which gives it a nice crisp. There chips and salsa is pretty good and there beer is always really cold. Good place.

I came here with my parents because they had a gift certificate/voucher. I'll be honest it is not the typical place they like to eat. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. When we arrived they had a live band with a singer performing. Later in the evening they opened the dance floor and people were dancing. Even later a large mariachi band arrived and played (they may have been there for a celebration by a particular table). The portions were huge. The food arrived steaming hot. Everything was well prepared. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful. If you are looking for a quiet place where you can easily speak with the other members in your party this is not the place. But if you want to have fun and enjoy some great Mexican food I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

If you call yourself an "adventurous" person, come here! Otherwise, go home and collect $200 (Monopoly). j/k lol :p This place is borderline "divey" to "TJ" (Tijuana) like clubs that might be a rude awakening for a few of you . You'd have to appreciate Mariachi bands to Mexican culture and their music. I happen to love it. In fact, I had a few people that asked me if I enjoyed this kind of music considering I was the only "Asian" dude in this whole joint. I find this works well for me. They think I'm exotic. I think! I came here for a birthday. I have always wanted to come here as I heard their comedy nights on Tuesday's here is the bomb. I have yet to see that and will return just for the show but for the Thursday night clubbing here, it was sardine packed with everyone having an awesome time. I enjoy seeing people simply enjoying their moment and truly having the best time of their lives. Agave gave me a sense of welcoming patrons. They embraced me right away. I had lots of high fives from complete strangers. Not to mention some curvy beautiful women that makes the doggy drool home with his tongue hanging out! If you're looking to having a great time with your friends for a birthday or a celebration, come here. They can RSVP your large group, cater to you and make sure you have a great time. Also, they have two dance floors. One with live music including live Mariachi band. The other is a modern take "Spanish" hip-hop! I have not dined here, but will give that a try too. All in all, we had fun, and at the very end of the night, that's all that matters! PS - parking fills up quick here but we parked at the empty lot of the "Grocery Outlet" not far from Agave.
