Why El Agave's Mexican Restaurant

Portions are generous for the price, and the room fills up with folks who know what they're after.

  • Quesabirria ranks among the best around
  • Fiesta skillets nail portion sizes and value
  • Staff remembers you, stays accommodating

Menu

What to order

Start with the fried pork belly if you want something beyond the usual. The quesabirria is worth a trip on its own. Fiesta skillets work if you're feeding a crew and want everything at once. Pork chicharon hits hard. The beef is solid, though the shredded chicken gets mixed reviews. Generous portions mean you'll likely have leftovers.
