El Agave

My family loves this place! The food is awesome and the service is fast! We have dinner here twice a month!

Sticky dirty tables and chicken feathers found in the taco salad. The manager explained they cook and shred whole chickens and that’s why the feather was in there. I suggested maybe they pluck the chickens in the future. Very gross experience. Obviously will not return for a second visit.

Service and food quality is mediocre compared to the Warrenton location. I’ve tried 3 times with the same results. My advice, drive to the Warrenton location.

The food is mediocre. It’s not the best Mexican food around but it’s the closest location near where I live & it’s decent. I’ve found that the Warrenton location’s food is better. Also the service is terrible in Bealeton. I went in to grab a call-​in order and the manager and one of the waitresses saw me walk in and basically ignored me. They were sitting in a booth speaking with a customer and fully ignored me until I got up from my chair to leave. Of course then the waitress came and asked if I had a call-​in order. I was very disappointed because I am a frequent customer… until today that is. I won’t be back. This is not the first time I’ve had bad service at this location and have overlooked it several times.

Big fan of the food and the drink specials when they have ‘em. Service is pretty casual and staff are super friendly. Queso is awesome, guacamole portions are a bit on the small size for the $. Over all a great place. Wish they had more space to expand the bar but the little two-​seaters are perfect for date nights and still give you that «bar feel». Restaurant layout is family friendly too (partitions and such). They have wifi and also participate in local coupon deals too. Great place!

Shrimp fajitas were wonderful, waitstaff was friendly and attentive and the complementary tortilla chips were fresh, the salsa was the best I’ve had in a while and nicely spicy

Good food and prices. Service is not so good though. Decent place to go if you don’t mind so so service.

This location is not as good as the one in Warrenton, and even that one has gone downhill over the years. This location used to be an Asian restaurant so the ambiance is a little off. There is always one guy working here, he has waited on us every single time we’ve been here. He is always a little rushed and confused. Also the drinks always taste bad here since the water in Bealeton is disgusting.

My husband and I tried it for the first time. We live closer to I-​95, with more choices, but wanted to try this one in Bealeton, Va. (west of all the busy traffic on a friday afternoon). I noticed the chinese look, as some said here, that it may have been an old chinese restaurant, per the décor? There was NO music, but there was a very loud tv with a man yelling about soccer in Spanish. They turned it down for us, since, at the time, we were the only ones there. We both said «this is not a good sign», at the same time, being that no one was there. The food was very bland. We had to whisper, as others came in, since it was so quiet with no music, just the tv in the background. We had hoped that the prices were better, being that most of the meals did NOT include rice and beans, not even the combo meals. Then I asked if sour cream was included, she said «NO». So, for sour cream, she cringed as she said «it’s $ 1.10 for that». So, i declined. I’m surprised that they didn’t charge for the chips and salsa at this point. I normally get water, but we both got diet soda. Later, we found it was almost 3 bucks per person, for soda. The ground beef had no flavor. The «free» chips were good and light. The rice was a bit crunchy. We will not go back. Oh, and at the end, I commented, very quietly to the hubby, that she forgot my 3 cents of the change we got back. She then slapped it down as if she heard us. I am a high tipper, but kept it at the 15% in this case. We will not go back ever.

Came here with a group a few days ago. The restaurant was nice, clean and the service was standard. The food was OK but what killed it was they seem to drown everything we ordered in a spicy red sauce. I ordered the tamales which I planned on sharing with my baby but I couldn’t. Others in my group ordered enchiladas for their children and they to were smothered in this spicy red sauce. Maybe it was the chef we had that night or our waitress assumed we wanted it that way, I don’t know. It wasn’t in the menu (that I saw) and the waitress didn’t give us an option when we ordered, they just came that way.

Very tasty little place we came across before checking out the Morais Winery and Vineyard (which we give 5 stars, check it out!). We have a chicken and beef enchilada and a chalupa on our visit. Everything tasted great and was exactly what we were hoping for.
The chips and salsa are GREAT. The salsa has a slight kick to it and I loved it. We also ordered a bowl of Chori Dip and it was one of the best chori dips we have had. Very very good!
Our server (I believe a manager) was really friendly and helpful and made our visit pleasant. Looking forward to going back again!

When we entered this Chinese inspired Mexican restaurant we were seated right away. Not busy at the time and we were looking forward to this after seeing the Unilocal ratings. Waitress had a cold personality. Their queso was served on a plate with two stale tortilla shells in the middle. My kid got the kids quesadilla and they didn’t even cut it. I got a steak quesadilla and that’s all that came with it — had to ask for sour cream however if I ordered the plain quesadilla it came with sour cream and guacamole. Enchilada had a red sauce on it that tasted like a tomato sauce not a Mexican red sauce. The waitress cracked a smile before we left — surprised me. I do kinda wish I could have gotten a fortune cookie after this visit.

It’s your basic Mexican style food served by friendly folks in a family restaurant.
SOLID three and a half star joint.
Inexpensive and FAST! It’s complimentary delicious chips and homemade salsa
I almost always get their chimichangas with beef, and they’re pretty good.
My wife usually gets a taco salad but also really enjoys their chile rellenos.
We’ve tried other items there — and all have been great.
Great spicy salsa, and a really good queso dip compliment their thin but extra crunchy and lightly salted corn tortilla chips.
TRY THE XANGOS FOR DESSERT, SO GOOD.

Fast service, though the waitress forgot my extra sour cream and jalepenos and one small napkin is not enough for an order of fajitas and I had to ask for extra. The food, was great! Fajitas delicious. Hubby declared the guacamole perfect as were the refried beans and rice. After we’d finished the server was over in a corner eating and we had to wait a while for her to notice we were done and get us our box and check. Improve the service just a bit is my only suggestion.

I would return here, but I didn’t like the taco. It had a strange taste. Probably because of the heavy onions, but there was also something else that was a bit off. The enchiladas were good… they needed more cheese, but it was still a good dish. The rice was excellent… best rice I ever tasted and that’s a strange thing to say. But it was really good. My husband enjoyed his dish of nachos with no complaints. I want to give it ⁴⁄₅ but I’ll be generous because maybe people like onion dipped tacos and dry enchiladas.
