Agave Mexican Grill & Cantina — Restaurant in Youngsville

Came in expecting at least a decent meal as it was our first time here, and they did not deliver. Our server Michael may have been the worst server I’ve ever had, very inattentive and uninformative. First we order our drinks and some queso and the drinks didn’t come out until a while after the queso, which isn’t that big of a deal. We weren’t given a kids meal for our daughter so I had to walk up to the hostess and ask for one because we hardly saw our server. Then we finally ordered and my wife asked for a chicken chimichanga but just wanted it a la carte as she doesn’t like the rice and beans, and we were told that was fine. We got our food, and my daughter’s burger was nothing more than a frozen Sam’s club burger and my wife’s chimichanga was nothing but rice and a few bites of chicken inside.

Then we get the check and realize that we were charged full price for the chimichanga meal even though we asked for it a la carte. When we asked our server about it, he then informs us that they can’t do it a la carte and so they had to charge us for the whole meal. Why was that not communicated to us to begin with? So we just asked for the sides to go and gave our card to pay. When we got the receipt back to sign, we realized that the prices did not match the total that was originally given to us, it was only like a $3 increase which I am sure is for using a card, however that was not mentioned as a charge anywhere on the receipt or menu.

If you haven't been in over a year, give it another go.

I went a year ago and the service was subpar and the food bland and expensive, very dull atmosphere.

Fast forward a year I figured I'd try out their food again as I am also a delivery driver and the past few months I couldn't help but notice how improved things seemed. I ordered their shrimp pasta as I am a pescatarian and had it delivered via ASAP. It was done and delivered very quickly. It is hands down the best shrimp pasta I have ever had and even though $25 felt expensive at the time after having it, it was worth every penny. It also came with some sort of fried bread item that was also extremely delicious.

I would also like to share my review as a delivery driver every time I come, they have awesome live bands playing at night, the staff is extremely friendly, and the orders are almost always out quickly even on busy nights. So if you read this take it as your sign to give them another go. Any business that continues to improve AND is polite to delivery drivers has my business. Thanks for a great experience and always being polite and for the awesome food!

I also ordered right before closing and everything was fresh and hot and...

Two stars are only for the alright service even though there was just one waiter working for all the tables so we waited quite a bit for our food, otherwise I would just give 1 star. Food was terrible. Salsa was super cold with even ice chips in there and the taste was really weird. We ordered burrito, the Topshelf Fajita, and ground beef Enchilada. First, the grilled chicken in burrito was only warm and tough, tasted exactly like store-bought premade chicken and then just got heated up. Fajita was just okay, not too horrible but again it was only warm and definitely not worth the price. Ground beef enchilada from the kids menu was way too spicy for a kid, and it got an even stronger flavor than my burrito. We did complain about the food after and the waiter offered to make another order for us to take home. But, boy, the taste from the salsa still lingering in our mouths and we also couldn’t wait for that long again, so we said thank you but no. We are not going back to this...
