    I loved this cute spot right in the heart of Mt Pleasant. We were seated immediately and the whole energy inside and at the bar was fun! We sat outside on the enclosed patio which had fans and enjoyed our whole experience! We received chips, salsa and queso immediately- all excellent and the servers were attentive and nice. I ordered the flautas which were great, rice was bland bit no big deal. The burrito was massive! And they surprised us with dessert , maybe due to Father's Day? Anyhow, definitely get the margaritas, they were very good most definitely stop by when in the area, was a great experience!

    This place was okay. The food was sorta "fast food" type Mexican fare. It was decent. The portion size was huge. My son had to get a box to take half of his California Burrito home. The drinks were good. The chips were okay but they came with free queso that was pretty good. The service wasn't what you usually get at a Mexican restaurant. Instead of a Mexican staff hustling to get you chips and salsa out quickly and your food out quickly you get a bunch of high school girls moving at their own pace. The place was clean. The restrooms were clean. The atmosphere was okay. It was hard to converse sometimes at the table. There was a projector shooting ESPN onto the wall over our table. The parking was convenient and plentiful.

    Absolutely LOVE this place! Stumbled upon it about 4 years ago- looking for cheese dip (LOL). This place has great food, great service, and won't hurt the bank either. LOCAL OWNED and managed! Hard to imagine, little town, always busy!! Take out is on-point! For bar drinkers- oh man! They are the best!

    Would prefer to give 3.5 stars, but I will round up. Service was really slow, but they were pretty busy. Portion sizes and presentation of the food were great. 3 tacos with a side of guacamole/pico de Gallo salad for 10$, heck yeah! It was really loud on the patio with music and other loud tables. I got excited when I saw the different margaritas you can get and thought they were going to be more "craft" but It was sweeter and tasted more like the pre-made stuff with chunks of fresh jalapeño and cucumbers added. It was also very weak on the tequila. Their 32 oz Dos Equis beer is quite the steal for 8$, so I recommend getting that instead. I had the carnitas and chicken street tacos, and while everything was fresh and flavorful the meat was a little dry. Pros: excellent portion sizes for the price, great drink prices, food and drink variety, FREE QUESO! Cons: meat was dry, service very slow, weak margaritas, loud environment

    I give this place 4 stars especially for it's location! Growing up in the area, and then living in Asheville, I dread coming home for the Holidays for more than one reason. I am a vegetarian, so Mt Pleasant used to only have What a Burger and Hardee's and a few little burger spots, nothing like this. A few friends recommended, I didn't have my hopes up. When I saw the menu, I was in utter shock, Mt Pleasant knows what a tofu taco is? But, does it taste good, we shall see... Omg yes it does!! The waitress was awesome, service was great, food was on point, and I've never had free cheese dip!?

    Chicken steak fajitas! So good!

    Fantastic food and service! We were a part of 8 and they slightly struggled but that's to be expected for the low price. Def recommend!

    The skinny strawberry margarita was one of the best I had in a very long time. Very delicious! I also LOVE that they have tofu as a vegetarian option!! You can easily ask for a customized meal if you are vegan which is what I did!

    I highly recommend!…read more From prompt and attentive service and fresh food! I highly recommend this beautifully decorated dining establishment. The Mexican culture and authenticity is beautiful. The murals are breathtaking. I enjoyed my small picture of señor margarita. This is a perfect date night spot or bring the whole family! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    My son and I went to this restaurant for lunch on the Tuesday after Mother's Day. It was actually…read moremy Mother's Day lunch. I picked the place because I'm trying to find a good Mexican Restaurant in my local area. The place was easy to find and parking is accessible because it's in a business park. There were specials on a board, outside the door. Upon going inside, we arrived to an almost empty restaurant. There was a lady with an elementary school aged girl eating across the aisle. We were the only two families there. The chops and drinks came right away. The chips tasted like they were store bought and the red salsa was decent. It was tasty and not spicy (I like spicy). The waiter came around twice to ask if we were ready to order. We needed mire time to peruse the menu - they have many menu items. We both ordered the brisket street tacos al vapor : an order that includes 4 tacos, with steamed taco shells, plus fixings (Spanish rice and refried beans.) The waiter brought a plate to each of us with 2 street tacos. I asked him if this were our entre because it wasn't as described in the menu. He just looked and smiled. I repeated that this was not my order, as he just stood there, looking and grinning. After an uncomfortable period of time, he acknowledged that this was not our order. So I asked if we could get what we ordered. He took the plates he brought back to the kitchen. I was totally underwhelmed by the look of the brisket tacos - they looked like boil in bag fare. I asked my son if he wanted to leave because to me, it looked like a good idea. We are used to the brisket tacos served in San Antonio, Texas. Brisket is cooked on the grill. The tacos served at this establishment didn't look like it had ever seen a grill. He brought the corrected order- we should have left. The brisket looked like it had been boiled and chopped. The tortillas were steamed to the point that they fell apart when handled. The meat was not seasoned and it was bland. No amount of salsa made it better because you couldn't get the tacos to your mouth without them falling apart. The tortilla should, at least, stand up to the filling. In my experience, Mexican restaurants that cook food from scratch really take pride in their Spanish rice and beans. The rice and beans were downright nasty and unappealing. The rice had no seasoning and seemed thin and watery. It had no taste- no seasoning, onion, garlic, cilantro, (olives). The beans were a tasteless congealed mess. I left both sides on the plate. To say I was underwhelmed was is the understatement of the year!! Señor Agave, you'd have to do much better to get my return business. I don't know if you were staffed in the kitchen - the restaurant was empty. If that's what your usual 2pm looks like, the food and lack of attentiveness/communication between the cooks & servers might explain it. I did ask to speak to a manager because I thought it was important to discuss our experience. The young man just stood there, squinting and shaking his head as acknowledgment. No feedback, no apologies, no nothing. I was extremely disappointed in the caliber of the food and the lack of communication from the lackadaisical staff. Do better!! Maybe food prices are driving this result - I don't know. I do know that you need to fix it if you want business. It costs a lot to eat out and you need to be accountable for food that doesn't meet the standard. Thumbs down
