I ate here for the first time today and was highly impressed. The skinny margaritas had fresh squeezed juice in them and tasted great and not too sweet. The shrimp ceviche was really fresh and had the perfect amount of balance. The Mexican guac was fantastic and probably our favorite thing overall. We will definitely be back to try more.

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.

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.

Very friendly staff, quick service, good food! Especially like the salsa and their chicken soup is the BEST!! We have tried a variety of their menu options and haven’t been disappointed in any!

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.

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.

The food here is so delicious! I had the Carne Asada and my wife had the Fajitas Texanas (I only took a photo of the fajitas). Everything was perfectly cooked, and the steak in particular was flavorful and juicy. Fast, friendly service plus great food makes this one of our favorite places to eat in Pickens!

The wait staff was nice enough and we had no service complaints. The restaurant is a bit old, but it was relatively clean. Unfortunately, the food was not phenomenal. The chips are definitely not made in house and the house salsa was very watery. The rojo sauce was pretty bland and the stuffed chili pepper looked pretty black. Much of the food seems to be likely frozen and reheated at some point. The rice was the best part and we really liked it. The prices were pretty good, but they also charge a 4% fee if you use a credit card. Overall, this place is okay, but I would probably skip it.

We eat here all the time only because of the food not for service. The service is always terrible .The wattress always act like you are bothering them excuse me , but it is your job. If you don’t like your job fine a new one. They don’t even check on you or refill your water unless you flag them down same for salsa and chips.REMEMBER Without Customers You Have No Job! I None Of The Waitress Are Friendly At All. I don’t give Tips If You Don’t Give Good Customer Service. I hope this owner sees this review and fixes this because this type of Service is totally unacceptable. I am sure I am not the only Bad Review This Location Has Had.I Don’t Like Spending My Hard Earned Money We’re I Am Not Appreciated. Also Make sure To Put In Your Menu That You Can’t Take Home Salsa Or Chips That You Give Out With Your Food. This Is The Only Mexican Restaurant That Does That. Why Can’t I Take Home The Salsa That Has already Been Eaten From? You Are Just Going To Throw It Away. I Have Never Heard Of Such. Any Other Mexican Restaurant I Eat At Always Lets Us Take Home What We Don’t Eat. I Don’t Appreciate How I Was Treated From Your Waitress She Definitely Is Not A People Person. And Definitely Needs To Go Thru Customer Service Training..She Has Waited On Us Over the Years definitely No Personality. Description She Is Short Dark Long Hair with Red Bow in Her Hair.

Like every single Mexican restaurant (except Puerto in seneca) within an entire 80 mile radius of Salem SC (which is about 20 Mexican restaurants) they DO NOT HAVE REAL margaritas, and no one speaks English well. See Pic of what they call a mango margarita. Also, they don't even use any real fruit of any kind. Some places it's just a mix, ice and alcohol but they at least put one piece of mango in it... But my question is, why on earth would anyone own a Mexican restaurant and not have real margaritas. This place legit didn't even do any real mango or even ma go mix. It was a legit sour mix only. With ice and alcohol. Blended. It's YELLOW.... I will never go here again and while Puerto is the only place that makes them mostly real, the food there isn't great. Want to be rich, open a Mexican restaurant neqr salem SC (pickens or seneca as well) where people know basic English and the margaritas are real and you will put 100 places fully out of biz even If your food sucks. Tacos where gross too, old meat... see pics.

I paid 13.50 for fajita nachos and got this small amount. It would have been double the amount of meat and vegetables at Panchos but i figured id try this place since they had good reviews. This is a disgrace. This was not ate from before the pic was taken
