Margaritas made from scratch!!
Lorna L.

I am always looking for a mexican restaurant that can compare to the ones I go to in Southern California. This place did not disappoint. The margarita was made from scratch, which is always a good sign. The chips, light and the salsa made fresh as well. My first dish was the pork with Adobe sauce. The pork was tender and moist, sauce had a great flavor with a bit of a kick, which I always like. On my second visit, I had the chicken fajitas, which were delicious, with so much flavor. My last visit I had the shrimp quesadilla. This was not just a couple of shrimp popped into a tortilla with cheese, it was a burst of flavor which complemented the shrimp and cheese. I don't know what was in the sauce that seasoned this dish, but I would definitely come back for it again.

Stopped here before a show at the Bijou theater. Nice big place with great music playing on the TouchTunes Juke box. Ordered the Horchata, which was sweet and yummy. Had the Camerones al Mojo y ajo (Shrimp with Garlic) which came with some delicious arroz con maize. The garlic sauce was perfectly seasoned and with the shrimp and rice, I practically licked the plate clean. The Bistec con Cebolla (Steak with Onions) was great too

Let's begin a rainy day review!…read more So Blue Agave came up on my Activity Feed after an Elite I had met at a previous event had reviewed it themselves, and I had been kind of wanting to give Blue Agave a try ever since. Actually, if not for Southern Classic Daiquiri Factory which opened much closer to the station, I would have come here last month. Better late than never I suppose? So anywho, I made my way over on the way home from an in-service training at work. Honestly, other than having to cross a gas station across the street from it, this was pretty straightforward to get to. Like the same reviewer I had learned about this place from, I too was at first confused upon arrival. In my case, it was because the right side had their lights on, making me wonder if it was two places with one being closed. Turns out, they're both part of the same location! So I went inside. Now, because I was kind of in a hurry, I had to do take-out, and thankfully, service obliged without complaint. It was easy to pick up a menu and make clear what I had wanted to order. This is something in which this place succeeded at where another Mexican restaurant just walking distance from my apartment back home was completely failed. That way, when I finally made my order, I knew what was getting. I went with the nachos chorizo, and they gave me all the works (without the tomatoes of course because I don't put tomatoes in my orders if I can help it). I also got the fruit punch soda in a glass bottle. I will say, if you get soda like this, make sure you have a bottle opener. I used my handheld blade kit that had a bottle opener as one of the tools and used that when I made it all the way home. The drink was good (definitely drink this cold if possible), and so were the nachos. Actually, the chorizo nachos would be perfect for those who prefer a little spice in their foods. These definitely had a decent kick to them, and the jalapeños only accentuated this. The chorizo is juicy, and the cheese is tasty. You can see some onion, avocado, and I think there might be refried bean in there too? Either way, this comes together quite well I must say. I would say Blue Agave is off to a pretty good start here. I'm gonna hold off on a 5 for now, but I'll gladly give it a 4. I'd be more than happy to try out a few more items here in the future and get a better look around the place next time.

After passing by here from driving my daughter around town, I had to try! Told my bf to come here…read morewith me for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. At first I thought they were closed, but their light was just off awaiting a customer, so don't be discouraged to walk in if you see the light off. They been open for 3 months now. We ordered several tacos of chicken, chorizo (very spicy), and mixto that comes with lengua, steak, and al pastor. My favorite was the steak. Everything was seasoned well with good portions. Only complaint is that the chicken could have been juicier. Inside they sell hand crafted items. My man bought the boot shot glass and I got the clay salt and pepper shakers. So if you're passing around, I suggest you give them a try and support this family businesses.

What a wonderful surprise! A plethora of gluten-free options, delicious dishes (the pulpo was…read moreexcellent!) and the 80s music gave a happening vibe. It was low-key, and our waiter was very attentive. How did we not know about this hidden gem? We will be back!

I visited here after searching for the best nachos and decided on Lantina Cantina based on YELP…read morereviews. I arrived on a Sunday afternoon and there were no cars in parking lot so I was unsure if they were open. They were. I entered and it took some time before I was acknowledged and I almost left...but after waiting at front I was told to sit wherever I chose; the place was empty and I decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was gracious, friendly, and accomodating. Super guy. I ordered a margarita and nachos with steak. Both were delivered quickly. Tortilla chips were said to be made in house, but these were not. They were multi.colored and not made in house. Nacho cheese from a can, not cheddar as advertised. Like the cheese you get at a 7 11 or gas station. Yuck. I was not impressed at all by nachos or steak and at $18 would never order again. Service was top notch and friendly, and the place was clean, inclluding the restrooms. Great Happy Hour deals daily so may return for that but cannot recommend the nachos.
