  The service, the food, the drinks are all 10s across the board!!! We started out with the complimentary salsa. It was delicious, not to salty and the chips were freshly made. We also had queso (some of the best I have had) with warm freshly made chips.
  
  For starters, I had the bacon wrapped shrimp. The were filled with mozzarella cheese and jalepenos. I could not stop eating them. The dipping sauce made them all the better. We also had the Agavos Skillet...OMG best dish of the night! It comes with tortilla wraps, but its so good alone you do not need them.
  
  My meal was the 3 Tacos for $8 (what a deal right) you can mix and match your options. I had the steak, chicken, and pulled pork and I liked them all.
  
  I had the "Happy" to drink which is basically 6 sample flavors. They were delicious.
  
  I will certainly be back to visit. Awesome restaurant with authentic Mexican food.

  I've visited Agavos probably a dozen times since they've opened, and it's been so difficult to really review them. The first time I went was their opening week, and we were super impressed. The staff was awesome, the drinks and food were great, and it was a wonderful time. However, the next few times were REALLY bad, but then we had another great experience, and then recently a couple mediocre ones. So I've landed on the fact that they are "just okay." The staff changes frequently it seems, so maybe that plays a role. Some of my biggest gripes are that I went for happy hour and lunch one day with a friend, asked for the happy hour marg prices, and said, "okay I'll get the lime margarita." Then  after 2 of those and getting the bill, they charged twice the expected amount. She said to me- You didn't specify the happy hour margarita. ??
  Then we have also tried their margarita flight, which was terrible and pure sugar.
  The thing I like most is their lunch chicken cheese and rice. Best thing on the menu.
  Also, I really hate how they advertise the "best margarita in town." It's not. Absolutely not.

  The idea of this place is nice. However, from the second we stepped inside we should have left. The servers were all crying and one older lady was yelling at all the other serves and hostess. We heard her tell the hostess she was stupid-- not to mention all the other insults she was saying in Spanish. After that, it took 25 minutes to get our drinks (margaritas that were melted by the time they arrived). Throughout the entire experience (about 1.5-2 hours) we watched this one older server yell at each fellow employee and bring one to the back to so god knows what. Meanwhile, we couldn't hear ourselves think over the sound of a party legitimately screaming and laughing and clapping and twerking in their seats. I was on the verge of a panic attack during this whole experience. I begged my friends to leave but they all were too embarrassed to leave. The melted drinks could have been better, but the food was decent if you have a bland pallet.
  
  RUN.

  People who know me know that I am serious about my food. Today I had the worst food experience ever. It took 40+ minutes for my 9 tacos to arrive without any of the normal dressings on them. I asked the waitress to call the manager Fernando over. I asked him if he thought this presentation was acceptable. He immediately tried to blame the waitress for this mistake after she told him I wanted everything on my tacos. I told him, "No, it is the cook's fault." The food took almost an hour to come on and it was dry. I had to build my own dry tacos.
  Based on the conversations I had with the manager, I think he made need more management training. The things he said and did in front of customers was not becoming of a manager. I initially thought this place had recently opened but was informed that it had  been open 2.5 years. They should have worked the kinks out by now. I will not return for more bad food and long wait.

  Great ambiance compared to the other options in Memphis. Food was great, awesome guacamole. But the best part was the service, particularly Cristina. Just a warm, kind friendly and attentive, pretty woman. She made us feel welcomed. We loved our dinner there
