El Agave Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in Freehold

I’ve never had a restaurant experience like this. Went here on a Saturday around 8pm. The atmosphere was nice outside (we moved from inside bc it was warm and stuffy and they had a fan on the ground to help move the air). However, it took an incredibly long time for someone to come to our table, for us to get the included chips/salsa, and for our food to come. We ordered three tacos from the menu that were supposed to come with guacamole, shredded cheese, pico, sour cream, lettuce, cojito cheese (which are the exact toppings I was looking forward to) our choice of meat asked to sub the hard shell for flour tortillas and for one of the tacos to be al pastor and the other two to be ground beef; the waitress even came back a few minutes later to confirm we wanted two ground beef and one al pastor. We got three al pastor tacos with onions and cilantro as the only toppings. When we expressed to her that this wasn’t what we ordered, she basically said that we were wrong and it was what we ordered and what we were talking about would have been ordering something different. There was no offer to get us what we actually wanted so my boyfriend just ate the tacos (which he said the meat was dry and chewy). And on the receipt it said we ordered two carne tacos and one al pastor? It was a shocking experience to have us being told we ordered wrong (even though we pointed to the menu item and confirmed it with her) and not being offered to have what we actually ordered/wanted made. That, coupled with the unreasonably long wait times for service the restaurant being less than half full, made this a very unpleasant experience for us. I don’t know if the problem was that the waitress looked very young and not confident in the service or menu. We were looking forward to it so much because of the good reviews but would definitely never go back or...

This restaurant was awesome, and one of the best Mexican restaurants I have tried in a long time. The food was exemplary and one thing that I thought the atmosphere was incredible. The restaurant had beautiful decor and you felt like you were in a whole new place. Unfortunately at first glance the restaurant is difficult to spot if you aren't familiar with the area but that is not an issue. The customer service honestly is the best aspect. The man who served my party of 4 was such a kind and patient person answering the questions and describing dishes for us. He worked quickly and on top of that when we had told him we wanted to order desert for a party member's birthday they had gone through the effort of getting a candle as well as playing birthday music throughout the store making the night truly majestic. If you ever have time you should go here. Not just for the food but the atmosphere and goodwill of the employees it's simply not something you should miss out on and they have plenty of options for all types of people meaning that if you bring a large party, everyone in your party will definitely have something that they can eat, whether that be vegetarian meat or otherwise. Overall a great restaurant. Cannot wait to...

Hidden gem in Freehold! The Mexican food is authentic and delicious! I highly recommend anything that’s topped with Chipotle cream sauce or green sauce. They start you with complimentary chips with salsa and a green dip. The best burrito I ever had in my life is the Burrito Agave! The creamy chipotle sauce it’s covered in is to die for! It was nice and cheesy inside too! I also had the Enchiladas Enmoladas and the Burrito Bandera. Both were also delicious! The green sauce that’s topped on half of the Burrito Bamdera is amazing as well! The ranchera side was good, but not my personal favorite sauce here. I had the rice pudding chimichanga for dessert. It was good, but not something I’d order again. I want to try the Mexican flan or tres leches next time. The menu is huge here. There are so many more dishes to try. I highly recommend El Agave...
