    Burrito!
    Tanzeela M.

    I would say Barbacoa Agave & Seafood is worth a try when you're in the Oaklawn area. They've got several options to choose from on the menu and it's moderately priced. I visited this location for lunch with a five dollar Restaurant.com voucher and had a delicious burrito and tried a barbacoa taco which was very good. Unfortunately they didn't have the cactus salad. I tried one of the churros but can't say I was particularly impressed compared to those I have had in Mexico and other Dallas area restaurants. Like I said before they've got a wonderful menu and I look forward to trying out other items soon. They've even got a small selection of Mexican sweets.

    Chicken burrito lunch special
    Hashem D.

    This place is good! The place itself may be simple, with music blaring to some extent (although not loud enough that you can't comfortably talk to and hear each other), but the food is pretty delicious and inexpensive! We came here for lunch and directly sat down and ordered. The lunch specials are really cheap (on average $6.99): i got the chicken burrito platter (see picture) and it was delicious, and came with rice and beans as well as small "salad" on the side. My friends got the half pound of lamb barbacoa (which comes out in this huge platter that keeps it moist and hot while you dole out portions to eat) and the steak fajita platter (which was a bit on the small side, meat-wise), which they both liked a lot. At the end, we all felt satisfied and full but not having over-eaten, or over-spent for that matter. We got some churros to go, chocolate and strawberry ones, and they were pretty tasty, especially with some coffee on the side (we got coffee at work and at there, YUM)! Good place to grab lunch if you're at work, a satisfying, tasty meal that doesn't break the bank!

    Chilaquiles con barbacoa y salsa verde.
    James S.

    Yo comí chilaquiles con barbacoa para desayuno y lo fue rico! Pretty authentic if you ask me and the ambiance definitely reminds me of MX. Tortilla chips are made fresh on site and they were noticeably better than the tex mex places around here.

    I was excited for the menudo and I was super disappointed. It tasted watered down.

Our server, John, was friendly and offered to answer any questions we had. He offered honest reviews and suggestions which were very helpful. We went in search of oysters and they did not disappoint.

Paloma had fresh grapefruit and martini was shaken to the point of chipped ice and just the right amount of flavor profile. Started with the crab & artichoke dip with fresh chips. Chips were fresh and crispy. The dip was good, but was expecting a bit more flavor and/or crab/artichokes. Moved on to the mains. We asked for a wine to be paired and our server paired a nice red for each of us. We had the redfish, which came with creamed potatoes and asparagus. All was very tasty. Also had the seared tuna with fries. The fries with thin and hot. Ask for the spicy aoli for the fries. The seared tuna was very nicely done. Service was great. This is a happening place, so be sure to get a reservation. They do have a bar, but it was always full during the time we were there.

    Decided to have an anniversary lunch here. It was the perfect setting and time of day for a perfect…read morelunch. The staff and service is the reason I gave it 5 stars. I made a reservation and placed in the notes the occasion. The preparation and attention to detail was so appreciated. The food was good. In total transparency, the King crab was a bit over cooked. I believe this could be a one off situation because I have had crab here before that was perfect. Although I did not make a huge issue of it the brief mention of it I made to Dawn, my impeccable server, caused her to relay the dissatisfaction. Once the Manager, Deshon Ford, was made aware he truly went through great lengths to make sure I felt appreciated and the concern was addressed. Maggie was also a warm welcome and a delight to encounter. This is what was ordered: King crab: 7/10 the precut of the shell is very helpful. It did not have the natural sweetness I normally experience. The squeeze of lemon does wake up the flavor a little bit but the cook process did not afford the tender luxury as expected. The lemon butter sauce is good but could be great if using clarified butter with minced garlic and a hint of seasoning was considered. Crab fried rice: 7/10 the presentation and the way it was assembled is great. I also like the ingredients. I could not tell if there was crab throughout. I did see the pieces of shredded crab sprinkled on top. This would be a 10 if it was seasoned a bit more to wake up the palette and there was visible lump crab mixed in throughout along with brown butter. Meatball appetizer: 10/10 I could tell the quality of the meat is high. The ingredients and seasoning is on point. They were perfectly cooked. Still tender in the inside and a crisp on the outside. The sauce on top brought the flavor to a well rounded party in your mouth. Natural chicken: 12/10 I tried a few bites of this meal since it was not what I ordered and it was the best meal of all. The chicken was so tender, delectable and excellently cooked. The potato mixture and the capers are well paired and oh sooooo goood. Bread roll with fresh Parmesan:10/10 So fresh, fluffy, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The light and fluffy Parmesan sprinkled all over the top elevates the bread to the clouds. The fresh whipped butter is also a great element of flavor with every bite. Mediterranean salad: 8/10 I was thinking this sals did not come with lettuce. The crab, olives, feta, cherry tomatoes, and calamari are a great pairing. The calamari was a bit chewy. All of the other ingredients are good. I think the dressing could use more depth in flavor to help incorporate such good ingredients. Whalla: 10/10 this drink was so lovely and well balanced. A thoughtful mix of ingredients.Loved the smokey presentation.

    We considered it as a late night bite. That was our last dine-in meal in Texas. My wife continued…read moreher trip to Philadelphia, and I had to fly back to China next.day. We arrived there around 9:40PM, June 27, 2026, from AT&T stadium. I was glad it opened until 11PM because it was Saturday. My wife found this restaurant in Red Notes(Chinese social media). The menu even glowed by itself when I opened it. I chose the $59 three course menu, Little Gem Caesar Salad, 6OZ filet mignon, with side dishes, parmesan mashed potatoes, lemon-garlic butter, and dessert was Petit Key Lime Pie. Eric was the waitor, they even splitted the portion evenly, how thoughtful. Eric even said have a safe trip home. I also picked Expresso Martini, I was kind of cocktail lover, as driving in China, I was not allowed to have a bit of alcohol. They were not many customers on second floor, and all of them were party group or something. We ate no seafood in the seafood restaurant.

She brought great vibes and was nothing but sweet and attentive the whole dinner. 100/10 Let's jump into the food portion! ***Starters:*** Avocado dip - DELICIOUS! This had a lot more flavor than what we expected and the homemade chips made it the perfect appetizer. 10/10 Rainbow Sushi Roll - this was also great. The roll tasted fresh, but it is on the spicer side so don't order unless you can handle some heat. 9/10 ***Entrees:*** I got the Beverly salad and subbed my shrimp for seared ahi. According to our waitress, she said the receipt would reflect the Seared Tuna salad since there is an upcharge for the substitution but the food came out just like I ordered. My salad was fresh, bright and didn't leave me feeling heavy. 10/10 My cousin ordered the Maple Salmon. I believe the waitress said they now use gochujang sauce instead of maple. My cousin really enjoyed her meal and said she would definitely order it again. 10/10 The bachelorette ordered the steak frites, she ordered it to be cooked medium but it came out a bit more rare than she preferred. She still ate it as is and said it was tender and flavorful. 9/10 Lastly we ordered the lobster mac, this was sooooo good! The mac was runnier than I would like but the taste made up for it. I would order it again. 9.5/10

The mocktail was delicious. Our crab fingers appetizers were in a tasty sauce. The salad could've used more flavor to it and fresher lettuce, but i appreciated the amount of Parmesan cheese on top. I personally thought the presentation of the salmon was too much and a bit odd. I wish there was more sauce (or at least a side of sauce). The risotto was too bland, but the brussel sprouts were tasty and lemony. The salmon had a great crust, but it was too undercooked for me and wasn't the best salmon I've had. The filet mignon was ordered medium rare, but too us it seemed a lot more rare and wasn't seasoned well. The mashed potatoes were delicious. Our server was kind and helpful.
