    We always enjoy EL Agave . The food delicious, service so attentive but not overweening and atmosphere were all perfect. The place was packed for Tuesday night in Mid January and thousands tad noisy. That is a plus the restaurant being so full. Congrats! It was a birthday celebration and it was perfect.

    We arrived early but it wasn’t a problem. They helped my mom with her walker and mobility issues. Two of us had the calamari wrapped poblano which was awesome. My husband had the el jefe platter and he loved it. The steak was cooked perfectly and he loved the green chili tamale. It was my mom’s 91st birthday and she received a fried ice cream as a gift. She loved it!
