El Agave Authentic Mexican Restaurant

Authentic Mexican Food! We were so happy to find this delicious restaurant on our overnight stay in Ruckersville. We saw from the road side and it was one of the only restaurants still open on a Saturday night. We both ordered the El Agave Special and guac and chips with margaritas. The portions were massive (our photo does not show how large they actually were) and we took half of our food home. Highly recommend stopping in for a delicious Mexican lunch or dinner!

Casual Mexican food exactly how I like it. Salsa was authentic and spicy, food was excellent, prices were great. Service was wonderful as well!

Fantastic place. Came here during a weekday and while it was busy, we got seating immediately. Brought us a big bowl of fresh chips and salsa. I couldn't stop eating the salsa and chips! They were worth coming for on their own. Got guac as an appetizer to go with the salsa and it was great too, not as good as the salsa but damn, that salsa tho...The dinners were 6.75 each and were FILLING. I got a taco, burrito, and enchilada, and they were together very filling and so amazingly well made. They were so simple in there design of ground beef inside, shell, then covered in cheese and sauces, but the seasoning was fantastic and I finished it all in 5 minutes flat. The interior was also super cute! Everything seemed well kept and clean and the owner would deliver food sometimes, would clean tables sometimes, and other times stand proudly and watch as his customers were engrossed in their delicious food. I'm from out of town though and wish this place was closer because I would come here every week if I could!

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants! Food is delicious, employees are so welcoming! Fair pricing, great atmosphere!

My brothers and sisters have all enjoyed this restaurant since we were kids (now all adults) and it will FOREVER be a favorite of ours. Fantastic quality food, drink, and service.

Me and my wife's first time here and the food was great! An unexpected surprise considering the usual restaurant experiences in Virginia (which is poor at best).

Usually, by the time an order is brought out to your table in restaurants in this state it is warm at best with very little, if any, flavor.

This food was hot! and bursting with seasoning and flavors that brought joy to the palate.

Everything here was great! The food tasted amazing and didn't take long to come out at all. Will keep this place in mind when I come back to Skyline Drive!

Always enjoy eating here,the staff are always friendly and the food is always yummy!!

Awesome food, service and staff. Definitely check it out if you don't want to eat corporate food.

Stopped in for dinner and was seated quickly. Server (name not given) took drink order and another delivered chips and salsa. Both were good and home made. I ordered the El Agave special which turned out to be delicious and plentiful. Overall a very good experience.

The food was great, and the service was super fast.

Excellent food with password protected wifi and beyond excellent service in an unusually bright restaurant environment. And very nice decor there also.

At first glance it looks like your average Mexican restaurant, however the food was much more then expected.
Prices are very fair and portions are big.
Everything was flavourful and went together well.
Even down to the free chips and salsa!
If you're in the area and want that authentic Mexican feel, this is the place!

(forced ourselves to save room for the flan, did not dissapoint!)

The food was delicious and it came very quickly! Definitely a great place to stop for some Mexican food.

Fresh, delicious food every time, served by friendly and helpful staff, owner usually is there. Our favorite restaurant by far, we drive an hour to go and would drive even farther to get his ceviche dish, "Botana" Mmmmmm!!!

Great value for the price. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and quick.

Have been going here for years and I’ve never been disappointed a single time. Great variety of food to choose from and the fried ice cream is a guilty pleasure. Very friendly service as well.

We really enjoyed the food and the service. Our meals arrived quickly to the table and were all hot & freshly prepared. Staff was friendly and helpful. The tables are clean but the 4 top tables are a bit small. Salsa is on the spicy side but tasty.

EXCELLENT experience! Amazing margaritas. Fast service. Kind servers. This is an absolute gem; I would have my wedding here.

Wonderful dinner, dine in/outside. We had the whole fried tilapia and more, so good!
