We love it here. The food and the service are always great. We like to spend Friday lunch time here. Going when they open is a great time before it gets too busy. Plus we can take our girl with us.

El Agave is one of my all-the-time go-to’s. 😊 Us friends hang out over some chips & salsa and delicious California burritos (I had the chicken soup this time). 🌯🍲 Next time you need a solid dose of hospitality and glorious Mexican food stop in and say hey to Oscar or Johnathon. The good folks at El Agave will treat you right. 👍🏽

In town, visiting family and decided to make this our last restaurant visit before heading back to the UK. We reserved a table for 10 about 3 hours prior and it was granted. Parking was plentiful. We had the back table with plenty of space for our kids and their bags. The waitress was very kind and patient. Once it was time to order, they took all of our orders and were about 90% accurate so no true complaints there. My #24 was pretty good aside from the taco meat which I wasn’t a fan of. The beans and rice were amazing! Haven’t had the drink aside from water but next visit we will try them as well. Will return and highly recommended!

We stopped in on our tour of downtown Florence, and it was the only place open during the day. They have both inside and outside seating. We sat inside where there is tons of seating. We ordered margaritas and appetizers spinach cheese dip and pickle jalapeños. The spinach was fresh, the sauteed leaves tossed in last second and stirred into the cheese, OMG was it good and flavorful. The margaritas were string pours. Loved it. We didn't have a regular meal but I would eat here if I ever go back to Florence. The service was spot on.
