El Agaveño Mexican Bistro and Sea Food — Restaurant in Nevada

The family and I decided to come here after we had a craving for Hispanic food. We were a family of four and we were told to pick a table. We were on the verge of leaving because of the wait which was about ten to fifteen minutes. We didn't receive menus nor were we acknowledged. The place had four tables occupied so it wasn't too busy. The waitress gave us menus and some drinks. She looked like she was rushing everywhere.

Some of the menu prices had been crossed off. Made it a little harder to decide for budget. The food was very good. Waitress and the other lady (assuming the owner) were polite. The place was pretty worn and dark lit. I understand they probably work very hard to keep up the place. We would've appreciated if the waitress could've let us know she'd help us soon as a courtesy.

Cozy little family restaurant with some deceptively unique and authentic flavors on the menu

Appetizers: default salsa was good. Nothing special. The cabbage salsa was different and tasty. The by request only habanero-garlic salsa is AMAZING!

Adobada taco was subtle and sweet. Lengua taco flavorful and robust like gyro meat Pastor taco doesn't stand as well on its own, but the salsa Verde it comes with quickly fixes that

Pork Tamale was good but not exceptional Reffritos were normal. Rice was a bit salty but fine.

Restaurant was clean. Neighborhood around it feels a bit out of place and kinda empty

But just for the tacos and habanero garlic salsa alone I will...

This is probably our new favorite Mexican restaurant in the Carson Valley! The front end is run by Carla who provides exemplary service!! The Margaritas are the best here and the fresh made tortilla chips are best we have ever had! They are so good I didn't want to use much salsa with them. All the reviews raved about how delicious the food is and they are are right! I had chicken enchiladas with green sauce, delicious! Outdoor seating also. Highly recommended!

Have gone back many times and everything is great here! Carla is friendliness and efficiency personified. It is also nice not having to wait for a table. If you haven't gone to El Agaveno yet, you are...
