El Agave Taqueria

I dined at El Agave with my wife a few months ago and want to share our experience. My wife and I have worked in the restaurant and service industry for most of our lives, and if you read my reviews, you'll see that I seldom give less than a 4-5 star review. On February 16th, 2024, we decided to try El Agave based on their reviews and pictures. The food looked amazing! When we arrived at the restaurant for dinner, most of the tables were open, and there were around 5-10 servers present, which seemed enough to handle the number of tables they had. We were greeted by a monotone waiter who was barely audible, which came off as rude. He didn't bring us any chips and salsa, which would have been okay if he hadn't brought chips to three other tables with more enthusiasm immediately after ours. We noticed several servers chatting but didn't think much of it. Another waitress dropped off our drinks and approached the following table, asking if they wanted chips without dropping off anything. This happened a few times, which again wasn't a big deal. After placing our order, two other tables were seated in our server's section and gave their orders after our drinks were put into the computer. After asking someone for chips, we patiently waited for our food. No one checked on us or asked if we wanted more chips or salsa when we finished ours. The other two tables received their food before us. It wasn't until after the other two tables finished that our food was brought to us. We guessed that our waiter had gone on break and didn't explain to the other waiter who took over his section that we were his table. Overall, the service was poor. Given the number of servers present, there should have been ample people to help out. Our drinks arrived on time, but our order was lost and took about 45 minutes to come out. Our waiter could have been more attentive, and the bussers could not provide amenities. On the bright side, the food was delicious. I ordered the fajitas burrito, which had a ton of meat inside and on top of it! Most burritos are easy for me to finish, but I needed help finishing this one. My wife had a wet super burrito and also had trouble finishing hers. It's a shame that the service was lacking because the food was fantastic, and the margaritas were great, too! We'll be back, but only take orders out to avoid another disappointing service experience.

Great food and service...

3rd time take out service very slow and not acknowledged

Do not let the good reviews fool you. Long drive from Oregon we decide to grab a bite to eat. Family of 4. We were greeted with an obvious attitude. The PORTIONS for all 4 meals were DISAPPOINTING. I wouldn't suggest take out or dine in for this location. HIGHLY SUGGEST A REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN RESTAURANT

Vegetarian options: Try it

Next time I will order one of those giant margaritas. Very delicious food.
