Agave Cocina & Cantina

Been here at least once before, maybe twice. Both times for Happy Hour and it was decent. Just had tortilla soup and although not life changing, it was clearly good enough for me to return. On this trip, I had a full meal. I had planned to get the Carne Asada, but chose to save $8 and try the Carnitas. It was a lot of food and I honestly just barely put it away, however, I've had much better. I tend to like fried carnitas, or the chunks that I can mash down with a fork. There were juicy and had some fat content, but my issue was the favor. They were slightly sweet. I don't care for sweet with my meet. I like a salty savory meat, even smokey when it comes to Mexican. This certainly wasn't the worse carnitas I've had, but I also wouldn't return for them. I'm finding sugar in too many places I don't expect it and I guess for those that can't handle heat, salt or spice it's an alternative, but as someone who have been to Mexico and all over the south, I've never had sweet carnitas, although I have heard of regions that so add sugar to their meats, I didn't care for it.

Food is so so. I found a huge bone in my taquitos. I sent them a message on facebook and they never bothered to respond. Customer Service is lacking.

Such friendly and attentive service with delicious food. Complimentary trio of salsas offered a wide variety of flavors and spice levels and was appreciated!

The food is probably the most bland of any Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten at. The waiters are like sales people trying to get you to buy their expensive drinks to pump up the bill, bot because they care about your experience. I gave this place three tries but as the saying goes, three strikes and your out. Not going back.

I have been here a few times and have always been pleased when Ty the food, service and ambiance. Flavorsome and hearty portions and courteous service. The place itself is very beautiful and visually appealing. I have nothing but good things to say. Definitely worth checking out!!

Came here for a business meeting. This was my first visit. I had carne asada with shrimp added. The steak was cooked well when I asked for medium rare. Besides that, the food tasted all right. Tortillas were store bought though instead of housemade. They weren't busy but took a long time to take drink orders. Then, the shrimp was missing from both of our orders and had to ask for that to come out. This arrived when we were both about halfway finished eating with a lot of talking. Had to ask for the check. Weren't asked if we wanted more tortillas.

I'd say YUM YUM to this hidden Gem that I drive by all the time. I love chips and salsa and they give you 4 salsas!!!! I went back 3 days in a row. Service was stellar as expected. Ambiance is normal with

Very good happy hour and great prices! Upon seating, they will serve you the house salsa and chips which were really delicious! Our server was very attentive and friendly. Quick service. The birria taco was a highlight for me! Would come again.

Enjoyed lunch at Agave Cocina & Cantina with family. Casual, comfortable Mexican decor and music, with accommodating, efficient staff. Moderately priced Mexican fare. I thought the chimichanga was especially good. They have an interesting breakfast/brunch menu too and a nice list of specialty drinks and beers. Recommended!

Stopped in for dinner and had a great meal.Servers were helpful and knowledgeable about the menu offering great suggestions. The atmosphere is cozy and pleasant, a good buzz about it, but not overwhelming. The dishes were delicious as were the cocktail and beer choices. My meal choice was the steak salad, cooked perfectly, quite a large portion too. Paired with a local Hazy IPA, double good!
