Great drinks and super flavorful food. I don’t remember being as impressed when they first opened but I am really glad we came back! The barbacoa and chicken tinga are amazing
Very cozy spot for great Mexican food! Girls night out was a hit with the margarita flights! The tacos, flautas, and steak dinners were all very flavorful, tasted even better the next day as left overs! I'll be back if I. the area.
We absolutely love El Gran Agave! The food is always amazing—especially the flautas/taquitos, they’re our favorite and so delicious every time. We’ve enjoyed meals there as a family and with a group, and the experience has always been fantastic. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is great. We’ve also had their food that was catered for events we have attended, and it was just as tasty and fresh as dining in. Highly recommend whether you’re looking for a night out or planning a special gathering!
Great food, great service and great atmosphere. The best nachos and mole. Family owned and operated. Come support your local business. Thank you Angelina for your hospitality!
I had a fantastic dinner at El Gran Agave recently. The place has a warm, inviting atmosphere with colorful Mexican decor that sets the perfect mood. The menu offers a great selection of authentic dishes. Our dinner was delicious with bold, well-balanced flavors. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly. Their house margaritas were a nice touch, perfectly refreshing. If you’re looking for tasty Mexican food in a lively setting, El Gran Agave is well worth a visit. I’m already planning my next trip!
My hubby and I LOVE LOVE this local place! They greet you like old friends and the food is top notch. The ingredients are high quality. Try the Pina al Pastor (pork served in a pineapple) or something as simple as Chicken and Rice Dish with a side salad! If you are into cocktails and spirits, the beverage list has something for everyone. The Senorita Bonita or the white blend wine is refreshing!
