El Agave Mexican Restaurant Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Blanco

After a long day of traveling and whiskey sampling, El Agave in Blanco, TX, really hit the spot for our Tex-Mex craving. I enjoyed the Mexican Plate - 1 ground beef puffy taco, 2 chicken enchiladas, rice, beans, and guacamole. The taco was loaded with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese, and the all important taco shell was perfectly puffed and not too doughy. The enchiladas were filled with well-seasoned chicken and topped with a rich gravy and cheese. My wife had bean and cheese nachos made with homemade tortilla chips. Our order included spicy red and green salsas that gave our meals a nice kick. The bonus to all this - I ordered at the drive-thru!

If you like TexMex Mexican food, this place is a...

Update: My family and I went there today for the second time after church and it was a mistake. The food was bad. The shrimp enchiladas were under cooked. The beans were worse than my mother-in-law’s! The service was bad too. The woman at the register did not say anything to me. No “how was your food?”, no “thank you”. NOTHING. She didn’t even look at me. At least the place was still cleaner than the restaurant across the street but that’s not enough anymore. I will never spend money here again.

This place was really good. My family and I enjoyed ourselves. The real rating is 4.5 stars. The missing half star would be for the texture of the rice (too soft) and the chips were on...
