Great Mexican restaurant. Girls night out so we split a pitcher of strawberry margaritas. We all ordered something different and everyone was pleased with their food. I highly suggest the tacos al pastor, although I was disappointed that the carne asada tacos were in flour tortillas. Overall good (mostly) authentic Mexican food for a good price. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Hey, I liked it. We were looking for some good Mexican food in the area where we were staying, and this place fit the bill. The food was excellent and the service was spot on. Cheap margaritas and wine too. Good place. read more

OMG....We had the best meal here. It was the first Mexican restaurant in the StL area that has impressed us. The food tasted authentic, the decor was fun, and the service was awesome! We literally have zero complaints. Carne Asada Tacos we perfect when we asked for cilantro and onions. Enchiladas were amazing. And the margaritas were tasty!! We will be back! read more

My new favorite Mexican restaurant, we almost didn't stop at... Searching for an open restaurant on day 1 of the 3 day ice-pocalypse in stl, NOTHING seemed to be open then we spotted this place tucked into a strip mall with the lights on, after some deliberation we decided to try it, and I couldn't be more thankful! Hands down some of the best I have ever, ever had. I had I has Enchalada Suizas, my husband had the Yolanda's! Staff was sweet and attentive! Top of their game!!! read more

I would have given a 5 star because food is always outstanding and service is very quick. However, due to Covid-19 the prices have been passed to the customers at rates of 3 plus dollars per entree (chicken). It is no longer affordable to spend 15 plus dollars for a chicken entree with one side when others restaurants have not inflated their prices by that much. Bill with tip was $45.00 for two entrees with two ice teas. So additional amount in cost of up to 9 dollars for with increase with tip and tax. read more

Friendly service, beef and chicken taquitos are crispy and tasty. Fried rice could have been seasoned more, but the vegetables were fresh and portions were just right. read more

Stopped by on a whim. Turned out to be fantastic. I had the #2 lunch special and it sure was special. We both had lunch and adult beverages and total was only $22. read more

Service was less than awful. A child asked me if I was ready to pay, because I was ignored so long at my table that I went to the register. I had to ask a bus boy to refill my drink. Um, I won't be back. I even left a nice tip that I really regret. read more

I went in there to get bottled water and the employe said ok and continue to be on the tablet for 5 mins. Never looked my way. Very rude.

Loved the place! Wait staff is friendly and they'll keep your drinks filled like clockwork! My go-to meal is their cheese dip and the Burrito California with shredded chicken. read more

We quit going a long time ago and started going to San Jose for reasons having to do with the manager. We decided to give it another try and are really happy that we switched back!!!! The food has so much more flavor than any place on the area. Great food! The Molchahete Ranchero is phenomenal! Tacos de pollo asada- muah! (Grilled chicken tacos) Tacos de carne asada!!! Muey bueno! (Grilled steak tacos). Everything is pretty tasty with the exception of the empanadas. Eh- read more

Great soups - they are a must eat. Nightly specials and are amazing, check out the prices on Margaritas.

I really love this place. I work in this plaza and I go here often. They constantly have food and drink specials. The staff is super friendly. Only complaints I've ever had are that sometimes the servers English is so choppy that you can't understand them and that the service has been slow. read more

Drove by on a Sunday morning around 11am. Barely saw the open sign lit so I stopped. Was seated immediately. Order was taken right away. Chips were room temperature and just meh. Salsa tasted like bland watery salsa. Asked for something a little hotter. Had to ask a different waiter for hotter salsa since my waiter decided to help others first. Overall not a bad place. Good tasting food. Just received my bill. $8.99 for a medium sized mediocre margarita. Just lost a star read more

Very good for cheap Mexican. Super fast and friendly service. Food is solid. Prices fair. They happily and correctly accommodate one child's detailed alteration request. We live nearby and go at least monthly, and plan on continuing to do so. read more

I try to save my 5 stars for restaurants that might literally blow me out of the water so take that rating for what you will. The skinny: I'm completely satsified and will be back. The rest: I have such a soft spot for non tex mex local food it's not even funny. Moving out of downtown St. Louis, I've been hunting (bow) to find a good greasy home cooked mexican meal. Growing up (technically) in Collinsville, IL I've always been fond of the Carsillos (The ol' rancherito) and forever comparing new spots to it. I've shot posers down using such lingo of, "not greasy enough" "too clean" "the grease didn't squirt out when I bit into my burrito" obviously my qualifications are superior. El Agave did not disappoint. Here I type with a full belly of chihuahua cheese and house made margaritas. The portion was huge, and the price was just right. I've checked out the local competition to El Agave, and I'm happy to report I've found my new Margarita Monday spot. With great happy hours, an impressively polite waitstaff, and some impeccable mild salsa I'm so happy I took a chance on El Agave. read more

Good service and good prices. The chips and salsa to start were great. I had the chile Colorado burrito and it was ok. Meat was a bit tough. But the sauce was tasty. My wife thought the chile verde was very good. And the michelada definitely hit the spot. read more

The Carnitas are very good, and the Beef Fajita Quesadillas are great. Good service, reasonable prices, and a pleasant casual ambience. A good place for lunch or a casual dinner. read more

This place is your typical Mexican restaurant, it's nothing extraordinary. The positives are that the dining area is very clean and well maintained. The staff are also very friendly and attentive. The negative would be the food. I ordered enchiladas but they lacked in flavor. My friend got a taco salad and he was also unimpressed. My first impression is that this place is very family oriented. There was a group of misbehaved children near us that made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, if you want a place to grab some quick grub, it's not so bad. But there are certainly better options out there. read more

In an otherwise fairly desolate area of St Louis where restaurants are concerned, this place is good. Affordable food, huge portions, great service and ambience. We got the veggie fajitas for 2 and they were really tasty. And plenty of leftovers! The chips and salsa are great, too; their table salsa is fresh but not spicy-- if you like a little kick, ask for the tomatillo salsa. Margaritas weren't especially strong, but were a great deal at $6 for a small pitcher. The fajitas come with flour tortillas, by the way; you have to ask for corn. We'll be back. read more

I am in town for work and happy I found this place! I had the chicken chimichanga it was great and filling!!! I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!! read more

Very clean restaurant. Food and service were really good. The garden vegetable quesadilla with added shrimp was very tasty and I highly recommend it! read more

This place is great! If you are looking for good Mexican food please look no further. My husband and I go here all the time and the service is super fast and friendly. We always have a good time and never have to wait too long for our food. Plus it is cheap. So if you are looking for a cheap place to eat with good food. Go to El Agave! : ) read more

Don't know how I overlooked this place so close to home! So glad I discovered it now! Great drink specials all week! And good American Mexican food, even for picky hubby. Friendly staff and speedy service. They aim to please. Will come here often now. read more

This is a really nice place and the people were all nice. However, the prices were completely different when we got our bill. I got a water, Shrimp Nacho and queso dip for $30. On the menu the nacho shrimp was $11! I hope the water was free and if Queso is $19 then Rethink ordering this! read more

The food was great. Also, thank you for pissing off my sister, she deserves some bad service after flinging stuff across the room.

Clean restaurant, great staff, and really good food!!! I don't have one negative thing to say. Definitely my top pick for mexican from here on out!!! read more

Polished off a great mixed fajitas plate with the better half. Relaxed and enjoyable but you need to stay on the wait staff. Daughter ordered chicken tacos and got beef. After she ate one they promptly replaced them all with chicken. read more

Do not go to this restaurant. I asked for a table, away from people as much as possible and the hostess laughed in my face. She told me that we are busy and don't have any tables. I explained to her I need something away from a lot of people because my husband has PTSD, which we had his service dog with us, and has problems at times. She told me that I could eat outside. It was windy and chilly. I told her I don't need a smartass comment back and she started talking crap about me and my family to the next customer behind us. read more

I heart this place. Been numerous times at lunch and dinner. The food is straightforward and good. The chips and salsa are just right and usually a basket of dust by the time the food arrives. The margaritas seem fine; I'm not really the person to ask. I am delighted to report that they pour a very stiff vodka and Diet Coke. Waitstaff is always attentive and quick; never had a bad experience. As many cocktails as I've had there, they are seemingly very tolerant of boisterous ladies' nights. I would recommend this place to anyone in search of a no-frills Mexican food experience. It's not fancy, but the restaurant is always spotless and they always have seating. Two enthusiastic thumbs-up for El Agave! read more

Salsa was decent. Enchiladas are huge and they give you 3!! Go for the molcajete ranchero tho. Tastes like fajita beef stew. That's the only way to describe it. read more

Have been here a couple of times with the family, and it's been solid each time. Family friendly and reasonably priced. Last night I had the Arroz El Agave, and it was outstanding. Also, so much food that I'll be having it again today. read more

I ordered takeout from here on Tues. and they were so wonderful! The order was ready in minutes. The veggie fajitas had lots of great veggies in them like broccoli n mushrooms. The guacamole was sensational as well as the chicken tacos. Def. one of the best mexican places I've been to in St. Louis! read more

My family has been coming here since they opened. Very clean, friendly environment. The staff is very friendly as well, they always accommodate big groups and are very attentive. I love this restaurant!!! Margaritas are wonderful, food is amazing, always comes out hot an sizzling!!! read more

The food was excellent and excellently priced. We enjoyed a pitcher of Margaritas with our lunch and were not disappointed. It's super clean and waiters are very nice. read more

This is our fast and friendly "go to" Mexican restraurant. I live in Kirkwood and I appreciate the inexpensive menu and good service. Chip and Salsa are always plentiful. Check out the drink specials. There is always margarita's or a beer draft on sale. If you don't have to have the rice and beans then always order ala carte at this venue. You get the same food but not as pricey. Also, share a sopapilla for desert. My wife and I have been going here for many years. We've only had bad service one time and the food is very consistent Mexican/American. read more

We come here for good, fast, cheap Mexican! Margaritas are good and they are on special a lot. I also like their guac! We went on a busy Friday night but got seated quickly and the service was great. Great spot for a Mexican fix! read more

I'm not sure how this place has 4 stars. I'm generous giving it two! The food was beyond bland! The chicken was just boiled with no seasoning and the ground beef was mush. I tried a top shelf and house margarita and they were terrible. The top shelf was drinkable but had too much juice in it! I took one sip of the house and it was basically a glass of sour mix. Yuck! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else read more

I can always count on El Agave for good, quick food and friendly service. This restaurant is always clean and is dependable for quality. We often come here on Monday nights and can order and eat in about 45 minutes, however, the margaritas often make us linger a little longer! read more

My husband and I go here often...we usually get the steak, shrimp and chicken fajitas....always fresh and delicious. Sometimes I get the grilled chicken salad which is great too...I don't think we ever had anything we didn't like there. The help has always been great and has always filled our drinks and been very attentive. Margaritas are awesome & Hubby says the beer is always ice cold too!! You can not beat the prices & We also love how they never RUSH you out of there no matter how busy they get. Its one of our GO TO SPOTS! read more
