Reviews for El Agave's Mexican Restaurant in Augusta, ME
I might give this place a second chance but it wasn't the best experience. The place was warm and cozy, well lit, and decorated... in vibrant tex mex restaurant style. But my waitress was way over worked to pay attention to my table. I think she had 12 tablesat once, and she wore it on her face. Fajitas are the standard i judge all tex mex restuarants by and they failed me. Even worsethat the fajitas came to me not sizzling, they were luke warm and cold before i could finish. Train your wait staff, if thefajitas aren't sizzling on their way out the kitchen, you have already failed. I did not receive succulent, large peices ofmeat. I got tiny little crumbles of chicken and beef, like the bottom of some marinade bag. I finished every last bit of themeat and had plenty of room for beans and rice. The flavors were good though. The waitress errored on my check and i had to takemore time to fix it. All and all below my expectations. Read more
Finally found a decent Mexican restaurant in our part of Maine! Been 3 times in a few weeks and enjoyed it each time. The cheese... dip is great with the chips and salsa. Main dishes are very enjoyable and well sized so you?ll have some to take home. Serviceis good, restaurant is clean, food is tasty. We?ll be back again soon. Read more

I don't usually do reviews but I felt like it was needed on this. My wife and I went for lunch while out and about but this was... the first time at El Agave and we were not let down. Did not start out great because the salsa was very runny but the food madeup for it. I will be returning Read more
No reason to come here. They didn't have most of the things we tried to order from their menu. Speaking of the menu, it states... "ask your server about our gluten free options!" So I did. She said "We don't have any." FYI: If you make a gluten free food inthe same fryer as a gluten-containing food, it will become cross-contaminated. This is information for them. My food was toppedwith raw bacon. The people next to us ordered their food with the cheese on the side, but they brought it out with cheese allover it (so one of them couldn't eat it). Our server dropped our check on our table without even stopping. She just dropped itin front of my husband and walked away from the table. We ordered alcohol, and it didn't taste like they added any. I'm alightweight who never drinks, and this tasted like juice. There was so much more to this experience. Though the food was okay,it's not better than anywhere else. Just go to Margaritas. It's just another exit or two down the interstate! Read more
This is the first time I have visited this restaurant, I am extremely satisfied with the food and the service. The food is... exquisite and beautifully presented. The staff are so sweet natured. The place is decorated with many beautiful artisticdisplays. The photos attached are of the burrito mexicano, the taco bowl and the stake fries. The food has great flavor and thewait wasn?t that long. You also have a choice to have hot sauce added or given upon request. I love the atmosphere and theservers kindness. I definitely will be coming back here again very soon! This is the best Mexican restaurant I have been to andthe attention they have gotten from me and many others is well deserved! Read more
Had and AMAZING LUNCH and time at this very friendly and CLEAN restaurant. Very Impressed with the REAL chicken and steak... stuffed full in our burritos and chimichangas with the side of fresh veggies and delicious rice. The homemade salsa is AMAZING!We tried the skinny margarita for our drink and let me just say that this restaurant goes the extra mile with fresh squeezedoranges and limes making the margarita pure and honest but still fun. Last but not least...the servers/staff is always smilingand friendly making you feel welcomed. I had our server and another checking in on us along with a Manager that came by to seehow everything was. Super impressed and will be coming back time and time again!! Thank you El Agave's for having such standardsand not cutting corners in service or quality of food. Read more
