El Agave - Montevallo
El Agave
Description
On Main Street in Montevallo, this family-run Mexican spot charms with a quaint dining room, pleasant outdoor seating and a strong drink list—especially margaritas. Signature dishes like sizzling fajitas, flavorful salsa and queso are crowd-pleasers, though tortillas, portions and the occasional cold item show inconsistency. Service ranges from warm and attentive to brusque, and one guest reported poor allergy handling and a pest sighting, so standards can vary. Worth a visit for casual nights, college crowds and families seeking friendly atmosphere and hearty Tex‑Mex fare.

The food was pretty okay and the waitress was nice but when we went to check out my card wasn’t working for some reason and I was talking to my boyfriend about it and said “dang they don’t take Apple Pay either” the man butted and rudely said “I told you we didn’t take Apple Pay when you asked earlier” first and last time
This quaint little spot has a lot of charm and a lovely outdoor seating area. I really appreciated the decor and the overall atmosphere; it feels like a well-loved family restaurant. The server was attentive, and I ordered the Queso Flamadeo along with a taco lunch special. When the food arrived, it looked great, but the hot plate really lived up to its name, which made me a bit cautious. The tacos were somewhat ordinary, though the appetizer was tasty. Overall, I think the tortillas (aside from the chips) could have been fresher, and the chopped vegetables and rice could have used some improvement as well. Still, I enjoyed my meal and finished it all. I would rate this place at 4 stars—definitely worth a visit!
