    Combo plate - Cheese Enchilada & Chile Relleno
    Talisha R.

    Great service, good food and a clean restaurant. It's the 4th Friday of lent so I went to get fish tacos. The owners are super sweet and remind me of family. Like you know it's going to be good food because Grandma is running the shop with her apron on. Get an enchilada, you won't regret it!

    Nachos and wings
    Johnny F.

    I ordered off the happy hour menu. I had the Nachos with Asada and Wings. The portions were nice. I was full with just the Nachos and took the wings home. The service was great. Look at all the meat on the Nachos. The wings are huge.

    This was the delicious appetizer taquitos. Yum yum.

    This review is coming from someone who could not pause long enough to take a photo of the food. Delicious Mexican food, a warm welcome, and a great atmosphere. The only picture I have is an empty plate, which says more than words ever could. I will be back for sure. Definitely recommended. Zero regrets. Did I mention chips and salsa for days? Coca Cola from a large glass bottle?

    Beef Enchilada

    This spot is a gem! Had the hard chicken tacos and they were perfect (they don't skimp out on the food). The service was quick and they even changed the channel so I could watch the Seahawks game on one of the TVs. The location is very clean and welcoming and the staff was extremely polite. The pricing is great this a new go to for sure.

    The food was delicious. Chips and salsa served when you first sit. The staff is friendly. Restaurant was clean.

    Chili Relleno  and chicken enchilada.

    Not sure what the brown stuff is the chili relleno, but it tasted rancid!!! BTW- worked a 13 hour shift, so i ate around it.

    Chips and Salsa
    Willy T.

    This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in this area. The food and their service are remarkable. This restaurant is tucked into a small plaza and is cool, quite, chill, and peaceful. They gave complimentary chips and salsa and then asked my if I wanted more after I finished. The owner was very nice and helped explain the differences between the 3 tortas that were on the menu (Milaneza, Cubana, and Talia). I ended up ordering a Torta Talia since it has everything that the Milaneza has but with additional chorizo and carnitas. The torta arrived in 8 minutes and was the freshest tasting torta that I ever had. The bread is not excessively thick and each slice was toasted on both sides. Everything worked in a symphony. Nothing was overly salty or greasy. This torta has beans, potatoes, white onions, avocado, mayo, and pickled peppers. One half was enough to make me full even on an empty stomach. I really enjoyed the sandwich and the hospitality of the staff.

    The food was fabulous. Our waitress was friendly and patient explaining some items lol. It's not to big but I like the cozy living room vibe. And did I say the food was fabulous

    Always good food and good service These carnitas are always so good and soft and the rice and beans are great. (Nothing like a home cooked mean)when u eat here that's the feeling!

The restaurant felt more like a banquet hall and not a restaurant. We asked for chips and salsa when we arrived and never got them, I guess they don't serve any. The carpet was stained and dirty, it didn't feel clean as we ate our food. We went on a Sunday which we didn't know they had brunch and live mariachi. We tried the fish and shrimp tacos which were absolutely delicious and over stuffed. The shrimp agua chiles were also delicious. The campechana cocktail was also great but hard to enjoy as it was filled to the top, couldn't mix it after adding chile, lemon etc. Also, I had to ask for a spoon, never had it with a fork before lol. The michelada was plain, needed more spices didn't finish it. It took a long time to get our waters and michelada but over 45 minutes to get our food, slow service. Waitress said it was due to the brunch food being cooked and refilled. We'll probably be back on a different day for the regular food on the menu or try their Sunday brunch for faster service. Mixed feelings about this restaurant, hopefully the 2nd time we have a better experience.

First off, the space itself is legit. Big, open, modern Mexican vibe with high ceilings, warm lighting, and a mix of rustic wood + polished finishes. There's a long bar that feels like it's always ready for pre-game action, TVs scattered throughout (CLUTCH for keeping an eye on sports), and some nice design touches, think agave-themed accents, textured walls, and a slightly upscale lounge feel without being stuffy. It looks like a place where you want to post up, grab a marg, and ease into the night. Now... here's where things got a little sideways. We rolled in at 5:30 before a Los Angeles Kings game, and were told we couldn't sit until our full party arrived. Mind you... the place was maybe half full at best. That's a tough one. You're basically telling a ready-to-spend group they can't order drinks yet. That's an easy extra round (or two) left on the table. #ANNOYING That said... once we got past the front door situation, the night rebounded nicely. Shoutout to server, 'Zagid C' and the rest of the staff, they were on point. Attentive, friendly, and kept things moving, which is key when you've got a game clock looming. Big difference-maker. They even brought out a fun little birthday firework moment at the table, nice touch. Happy B-Day, Dan. Food-wise, it delivered. My wife is OBSESSED with the warm beans that come with the complimentary chips, like, borderline fighting-over-the-last-scoop status. YUM. I'm a creature of habit here and went with the 4-street taco combo (steak, chicken, carnitas, shrimp). Solid across the board, good flavor, hits the spot every time. Big portion of food. And yes... I absolutely appreciate the TVs. There's something comforting about being able to track pre-game coverage while you're knocking back tacos and a cocktail. Priorities. Net-net: Sol Agave worked its way back into my good graces on this visit. Strong service, good food, great pre-event energy. But that "entire party must be present" seating rule? BOOOOOOOOO.
