    Enchiladas Mexicanas
    Lori A.

    Feel like I need to update my review. Something has changed a bit. Prices for one, and they do now charge for use of credit card (but don't advertise this...At least not that I've seen). The last couple times we've been, the food has not been as good...undercooked rice, steak overdone/just not good, etc. I'm not sure if they have changed cooks/managers or are just trying to make ends meet. I do know most of the old servers have quit. But with overall inflation, I have to be cautious of where I spend my money as well and choose where I know we will enjoy.

    First time visiting.

    Seems to be a local favorite. Enjoyed the salsa, full of cilantro. Prices reasonable, food tasty. Televisions scattered about for sports lovers to watch the games. Enjoyed the corn tortillas with my chicken fajita lunch. Arroz con pollos average in taste. Worth a visit.

    Great food, great atmosphere, very clean restaurant. Very empty on a Monday night, probably because of the irrational fears over coronavirus. Staff was attentive. Got the Pollo Aubelo, Nachos Supremos, and Hawaiian Tacos. Honestly didn't have the highest expectations for this local restaurant but the other reviews convinced us to try it. Will definitely come back.

    Excellent food, huge potions, and reasonable prices! This authentic Mexican restaurant is so much better than the gentrified places that have overtaken the area. We'll definitely be back!

    Great food, great prices, great service. Sanitary score is good, a 97.5 here. This place is a good value.

    We were in town for an errand and it fit the bill nicely. Fajitas were good and salsa was excellent.

It's one thing to offer poor service, a bar that is fundamentally unable to fulfill its core purpose, and a queso so watered down and thin has dissolved into a watery lackluster reality. But to send a server to the table who literally cannot even take a simple food order is about as bad as it could possibly get. Fortunately there is a new gastro pub opening next door that will be offering a much better option than this, cheers!

    The burnt out sign and very few patrons should have been a red flag. After going to the Lake Myra…read morelights nearby, this was the first restaurant we came across and not being familiar with the area and assuming nothing else was open, we went in. That was a mistake. I like Mexican food as does our party of four. We each got a different meal, same ingredients remixed and same reaction. One overpowering ingredient - SALT. Perhaps the food was sitting all day or the cook was off for the night but it was really bad. Possibly the worst Mexican I have ever had. The ironic thing was a large group nearby all barely touched their food and one man I saw, when asked, declined a takeaway box. Salt should be a flavor enhancer. It is not a flavor in itself, unless the food was being preserved for a long time or something was being covered up. There was no natural flavors or juices present. It's hard to mess up rice and beans but unfortunately, Agave managed to master. I sampled some of my companions dishes and just nothing special. They have some work to do.

I let him know the food was great, home cooked and good portions. The one thing that ruined the evening was the RUDE waitress, he walked up to the table and before he could sit down she bought my drink out, she asked what will you have to drink, he's looking confused and responds still standing, well what do you have? She rambles all the options so fast I'm not sure he understood all but made a choice. Then he sat down. She came back and slid it on the table like a fly by.. Soon she bought a hush puppy basket they were cold, I dare not complain she was so nasty and distant. Next she came back, order book open and I was like it's his 1st time, she didn't say anything, she just looked out the window and waited, so we just knew we needed to order, so I named my meat before I could finish SIDES??then he simply asks did they have bone in chicken ( I didn't know he was going to ask or I would have told him beforehand) she says no we have , fried chicken breast tenders, sisco chicken etc, she named every chicken dish on the menu without taking a breath.. I can give her props for knowing that..we both were looking at her confused and she never looked at us it was always "looking out the window " He said just give me "Flounder " one piece or two??? He replies one, SIDES??? Like we needed to be on point. She took the menus and left. She asked the questions she needed but was mean, not engaging and just rude. The WAY she asked.. When our food came this waitress walked by and literally slid our food on the table in a way that was like HERE! And kept walking I don't even think she stopped when she put them on the table she may have slowed down. We had to reach towards the end of the table to slide our plates in front of us. We both looking at each other in agreement she just nasty! The next time she came back she walked by and sat down a half glass of refill for his drink, she hadn't asked she just did it, suppose he wanted a glass of water? When we put our forks down she came over to get his plate and bought me a to go box as I still had half my food on my plate and she left the ticket. She didn't say is there anything I can get you or anything the entire time. He put his pymt with the ticket and put it on the edge of the table, I hadn't been in a while so I forgot we would pay on the way out. She was cleaning the floor near us and slid our ticket/pymt farther on our table, as if it was in her way, again he's confused so he said this is ready and she let him know to pay up front. I have never experienced such a nasty waitress at this restaurant and because of this I probably will never go back. I don't like not feeling comfortable and welcomed in a place where my money and time is going into. I started to complain before I left but in reality I don't think it would have mattered, and we left a tip not as much as we would have if she was more pleasant. I don't know whether she was having a bad day, a long day or to take it personal but I can't deal with attitude like that and won't take a chance on it again. This man drove a hour to experience this was just unbelievable!!!!
