    Chris was marvelous; he was always in motion, but no matter how busy he was he found time to stop by our table several times to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our meals.

    Stopped in about 8 pm on a Sunday evening. First impression, not busy, apprehensive yet…read moreoptimistic. These are the same group who operated Cancun in Mason City prior to closing, moving, and rebranding under the name Plaza Morena. My husband and I were promptly greeted and seated. The booth we were seated at seemed to have been wiped down but was still filthy. Table clothes were in use and unfortunately ours had seen better days from previous patrons. We ordered a small queso, pollo a la crema, a pork tamale, and a chicken burrito. The burrito and pollo a la crema came with rice and beans as well. Food arrived in an appropriate amount of time. Queso was not hot but not cold, left a bit to be desired. Chips were standard fare, the house salsa was very sweet in my opinion, wish it would've been a bit less sweet. My husband enjoyed his tamale, especially the sauce that came with it. I had the pollo a la crema, it had good flavor, wished there was a bit more chicken but overall was pleased. We took the burrito home for lunch tomorrow. Unfortunately there were a few missteps in our dining; the dirty tablecloth accompanied by the less than appetizing brown color of the guacamole, and queso concerns made me feel more attention could be paid. Our bill was $33 prior to tip, no sodas or drinks. The service was good but don't know that we will rush back.

    Second visit within a few weeks. My group had delicious meals brought out quickly. We had a chicken…read morefajita burrito, chicken fajitas and huevos rancheros. Everyone had more than they could eat and thought it was very tasty!

    In a town full of local Mexican restaurants Agave Azul was a disappointment. The good- the house…read moremargaritas were tasty and if I'd only had a cocktail- I'd feel better about the restaurant. Unfortunately, we had dinner. I had the birria tacos and it was just not good food. It said the shredded beef came with corn tortillas. What arrived were three filled corn tortillas that had been deep fried. It was greasy and not at all what I had expected. The beans were spread out on the plate in a really unappetizing look. Three entrees and 2 margaritas came to over $60. At $20 per diner I just expect better food. There were about three total dining parties when we were there- so it's relatively quiet. There was only one server I saw and she did well providing service to the three parties. I will definitely not be going back. There are just too many better or cheaper Mexican restaurants in town.

    We were visiting from out of town and hungry for Mexican. We decided to try Agave Azul after…read morelooking through other reviews. The restaurant sits on a a corner so that is a good location. There is seating on the main floor but it looked like there was an upstairs. Service was prompt but we were the only ones in the restaurant at 5:30p on a Saturday. The restaurant was busier by the time we were done. We were greeted with a complimentary basket of chips and salsa, which was a nice touch. There was a good variety of options on the menu. The one downfall is the other couple we were with wanted the Carne Asada and they were told the restaurant was out of that. That was disappointing and other couple made a choice B and C, in case they were told again the restaurant was out of something. My husband got the chicken taquitos and I had the Birria tacos with rice and beans. The taquitos were a little different than anything we've had before, there was a sauce over the top so they were not as crispy as we are used too. The Birria tacos were decent. Not spicy, not overly flavorful though. The rice was really good (and I usually don't care for Mexican/Spanish rice) and the refried beans were ok. The other couple we were with really enjoyed their second choice for dinner. I can't remember what exactly they ordered but it was another steak dish. They were really happy with it. All in all, not a bad place to eat. I would go back but I would probably check out some of the other options in town before returning.
