Best WLM Reviews

This place was really great! I live in San Antonio so I know good Mexican food and this place exceeded my expectations.
My chicken fajita skillet really impressed me! Typically I only get sautéed peppers and onions with my fajitas in San Antonio but these came with peppers, onions, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, and some zucchini! Excellent!
The chicken was cooked perfectly and the tortillas were really good too.
Their free chips and salsa were also very fresh and crispy.
I started with a prickly pear margarita then tried the raspberry margarita and they're both really good also. Only $12!!
Very happy with this place and I'll probably come back tomorrow night during my visit to the area ????
They also have a huge selection of tequilas and other liquors with a very friendly and attentive staff.
Agave is my go to Mexican joint well placed on an intersection in Mountain View Downtown. Great food. Great vibes. Great service. The interior of Agave was very cute with a little bar and lots of TVs. Grew ambiance to hang out with friends or for a date. We were first seated by the funniest waiter who had lots of enthusiasm and even joked with us which I enjoyed. He took our orders very fast and our food came very fast as well which was refreshing. The food was kinda expensive but for the portions the prices made sense because of how huge the dishes were. I got the enjococado chicken quesadilla. I learned that the enjococado sauce was the “Grandma’s sauce” passed down! It is super flavorful, creamy, and a bit nutty which was perfect for the crispy salty quesadilla! The chicken in my quesadilla was phenomenal.nit was shredded and had no gamey taste and was incredibly tender which complemented the crispy tortilla perfectly. Overall for the stellar service, food, and ambiance I would definitely recommend Agave to others especially large parties!
It wasn't clear when we came in what we needed to do since there was no host/hostess so we tried to flag down the bartender to ask for seating. They told us we could sit anywhere so we picked a table near the front. They didn't bring out any water for us so after about 10 minutes, we asked to have some (after we placed our order).
We ordered some queso fondito, shrimp tacos and shrimp enchiladas and the dropped off some chips and salsa (red and green). The queso was a lot thicker than I'm used to and almost seemed to go solid after being on the table for about 5 minutes. Noticed that the cast iron plate it was served in wasn't hot at all so that likely caused it to not stay more liquid.
The tacos were alright but the enchiladas just had shrimp in them with some cheese on top. Was expecting some type of sauce they'd come with or be soaked in. Overall, the best thing we had here were the chips and red salsa. Not sure I'll be back.
I have been a regular to this place 5 2 years. Friendly staff and good strong margaritas. The food is good too. They have happy hours now. Luis and Juan(waitresses) are always welcoming and have smiles on the face. The best part is it is dog friendly and you can order chicken for your dog. :)
Good food, but quite expensive. Quiet during lunches, gets busy during dinners.
Came here on a Friday for lunch and there were only 2 other tables. Nice spot for a quiet, quick lunch.
With so many food trucks and Mexican spots around the bay area in general, not sure I'd come back to pay this price. While the burrito I got was good, I could get multiple elsewhere with the $20+ I paid.
This spot is passable.
The staff was not only friendly but also knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations and accommodating our dietary preferences. Their attentiveness to detail and prompt service truly enhanced our overall enjoyment.
Now, let's talk about the food. The standout dish for me was undoubtedly the Steak taco. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the tender and juicy steak complemented by a medley of fresh ingredients. Each bite was a burst of culinary delight that left me craving more. The chefs certainly know their craft!
Additionally, I decided to substitute the side of rice with a salad, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and presentation. The salad was vibrant, consisting of crisp lettuce, colorful vegetables, and a tangy dressing that added a refreshing twist to the meal. It was the perfect accompaniment to the flavorful steak taco.
Overall, my dining experience at this restaurant was exceptional. The combination of warm customer service and delectable food left a lasting impression on me. I highly recommend there to anyone seeking a delightful culinary by attentive and friendly service.
