El Agave Grill & Bar - They have a salsa bar!!! The service is AMAZING! They are very attentive! Drinks are WONDERFUL! The food is so delicious and flavorful! - Mexican Near Me - Oxford, Alabama

Used to be amazing but has went down hill. Margaritas used to be amazing but last time it tasted like dish water.

Crazy good food. They have a fresh salsa bar which I havent seen since San Diego. At least six different salsas. Two of which I've never had before that were mind blowing. Birria is better than Los Arcos. They have sopes and huraches. This place is authentic. I'm going to have to lower my stars on the other Mexican places because this one just slaps them into oblivion. read more

New to this area and read reviews of this place, so we decided to try it for lunch on Saturday Nov. 5th. I wish now I had taken pictures of the food but we were hungry and I can tell you that it not only looked delicious and definitely smelled delicious...it was absolutely Delicious!!!!! The place is not big, but was so clean and spotless, and the whole staff was friendly! Definitely recommend!!!! read more

Great place to eat all around. Food , people, Atmosphere, Service. You're not going to leave hungry.

Stopped by on an Alabama road trip during the CoronaVirus pandemic so it was take out only. The service was awesome. Not the easiest thing in the situation. I got chicken quesadillas -- they were great. My wife got beef burritos -- she thought they were solid. The rub here is she is allergic to tomatoes so the fish is cooked different then ordinary. We also got white cheese dip. Very good. Wife thought a little soupy but I prefer that to a huge clump of cheese in a bowl that breaks the chips. read more

El Agave Grill & Bar - Outside El Agave - Mexican Near Me - Oxford, Alabama

Their food is amazing. They have very good Mexican food and they're very friendly. I would recommend this to my friends and family.

When you're in a small town on business and you find a good place for lunch, why not do it twice. Oxford has few options near the location of our meetings. However, reviews for this place were good, so we gave it a try. We lunched here both yesterday and today because the food is solid and the service is quick. I had chicken tacos both days - I like anything with a street food feel. My lunch buddies ordered shrimp quesadillas, enchiladas, taco salads, and beans&rice. Each person said their food was delicious. Both days we had our orders within in minutes, which is appreciated during lunch time. We noted they had huge waves of locals eating in and picking up to go orders, yet the servers never appeared frazzled. That's a good sign. If you're ever in this remote area of AL put this place on your list to visit. read more

El Agave Grill & Bar - Chicken tacos. I added onion and cilantro from their salsa bar at the back of the restuarant. - Mexican Near Me - Oxford, Alabama

Love the tacos and salsa bar! Beer and service are good too. Nice people. Chips are a little thick for our liking.

Very god food with nice servers and the prices at the grill and the prices are reasonably. Yea l

I've eaten here a couple of times so I thought it was time to write my review. It's just ok, nothing special, your typical Mexican fair not to mention the atmosphere is very drab. But hey, my meal was good and the service was fine. read more

This is the best place for queso and guac! The chips are amazing and the food is good also. Make sure you order the table side guacamole, it costs extra but it's worth it! The service is a little slow and could be better but the food is always worth the wait. The margaritas are giant and delicious! read more

This is the most authentic mexican food in this area. I loved the tacos I ordered (and the chimchangas were decent, also). The BEST was the six different kinds of salsa and all the taco toppings you want (onions, cilantro, lime etc.) On the salsa bar. WE WILL BE BACK! See ya there. read more

I have been living in Oxford for 2.5 years after living in Birmingham all of my life. I have never been to such a good Mexican restaurant before or since El Agave in Oxford. The staff is always courteous and efficient, and the order is always correct. Thanks for such a great dining experience, and will see you again soon! read more

I've visited this location a couple of times as it is very close to my house. The staff is nice, but does not check back with their tables very often as I've noticed. It is not the nicest building in the world. The food is good, I haven't had anything terrible. Overall, it's just "okay". read more

The service is always fast and food is always fresh! We have always got the fajitas and it is the perfect portion size to share.

Great food! Forgot to take pics, but prices are great, service was great. Would definitely go back again.

Very good food and service. Had the Chicken California Burrito and would highly recommend it. They have a salsa bar available as well. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch. It was recommend to me by a coworker who told me that the reason for the outstanding food is because the owner is here working everyday. read more

Okay so this is about the 5th time eating here and the first 3 times were great but the last 2 times were awful. Last Saturday and then last night, Friday night tee hey were both bad experiences. Not sure what is going on but I thought we had found our new favorite Mexican restaurant to go to but as of now I dont care to go back. We even picked up our food last night and I had the basic chimichanga but the chicken was so dried out I couldn't eat it. I really dont like giving bad reviews but with this being the 2nd time within a week and feeling like I've just thrown away the money because I couldn't even eat it I had to. Enough already. No desire anytime soon to go back. read more

If you like Mexican food you want this, you need this. Your life is only a dismal haze until you experience the food here. If God made anything better he kept it for himself. read more

A friend and I went for some food and margaritas. We were not disappointed. She got a chicken quesadilla and I got chicken chimichanga. Both meals were served hot and crispy! The margaritas were very tasty - we bought a pitcher. The staff was attentive. Too bad I didn't try this restaurant earlier as its so close to home. read more

Great restaurant with authentic Mexican flavor. The folks here treat you well and very attentive to service. Prices are very good and atmosphere is friendly. It's a little further from town but well worth the trip. read more
