This was the second time I've eaten at El Agave. I took my daughter and a granddaughter to dinner. They both agreed with me. This is a fantastic place to get Mexican food. Not only does the food taste wonderful, but it is beautifully plated. I especially wanted my girls to sample a desert. We each ordered a different item, and after the first bite, each said it was the best they had ever tasted. My granddaughter called her husband to tell him about El Agave. "They have the same thing we usually get at the other place and it's two dollars cheaper," I heard her say. The mixed drinks are well made (you can taste the main ingredient). You owe it to yourself to check El Agave out.

Really good food and crazy inexpensive! All the employees were very sweet. Best mild salsa, delicious chicken taco and enchilada, and the food took maybe 6 minutes to come out after ordering. Will definitely be going back again! :)

We've consistently had good meals at El Agave. It's not a big place but it's right on Main street in Pickens. During cooler weather it is nice to sit outside at one of their two tables. We both ordered from the El Agave Specials on their menu. The first picture is their homemade flan. Huge portion to be shared by two and no, we didn't do dessert first. The middle picture is their La Superior dish. That is a burrito and a chili pepper which is actually a poblano. Both stuffed with ground beef and topped with ranchero sauce and served with refried beans and rice. Very tasty. The last dish are their fried chimichangas served with sour cream, tomato and guacamole salad. The burritos were to be made with beef tips but these were made el pastor (pork) in error and were fantastic. They do start you with chips and salsa but have a good selection of appetizers. BTW the people working here are friendly and attentive.

I enjoyed lunch at El Agave today, I ordered the grilled chicken salad and I was not disappointed with the food at all. The manager greeted us at the door and a waitress seated us promptly. The dining area was very clean and the staff was friendly and attentive to the guests.

We just got done hiking turtle back falls and actually passed by. We decided that was dinner, so we turned around. They seated us right away. The menu had a lot of amazing sounding options. The salsa was sweet compared to most restaurants i have been to. But was still great. Drinks came fast and the food came really fast. I think we were seated about 15 minutes and had our full order. The agave burrito was amazing. My wife and son’s food were awesome as well. And the bill was about average for most of the same restaurants.
