Title: Over priced!

Review: I took my mother and a friend to this place. The drinks where small. We had a total of 6 drinks among us after food 150 dollars not including tip. The food was coarse and tough the drinks tasted watered down. and the worst of all was the service. Terrible service. I HAD TO GET MY OWN WATER!! Worst restaurant ever! I felt raped when I paid the bill. Save your money people, DINERS BEWARE! Steer clear, at all costs!

Title: Again!

Review: Alfredo. I still don't know from where were you able to look at the sea. Not more margaritas for you mi amigo!. next I don't know what happened to my other review. but here I go again. I was greated at the door with a cold, Do you have reservations?. next the mole was good but the waitres was bad and more interested in the party she and the bartender had at the bar. When I inquired about the tequilas she went to ask the bold guy at the bar and forgot about coming back! she told me all the moles where the same sauce and she never mentioned the tequila again. the guy at the bar left when I went to the bar, and went back to the kitchen with the waitres and you could still listen to them having fun from the outside! I felt more lost than that poor Quixote they have outside. by the way that is not mexican. I am! the mole is more than good is exellent! but no thanks! a little to much expensive for that kind of service. and for the other guy. stay away from people or get a new liver ... Full Review

Title: Sad little restaurant.

Review: I must say the decoration it's Beautiful! The tequila display it's worth the visit. But the service is bad. bad. bad. even worst when I asked if the manager was there I was told that my server was THE MANAGER??? No point in complaining then. despotic, rude,and they made me feel as if I was cheap and a waste of their time. To bad that a party of two with a $75 dollars bill is not good enough for them. the food. well is mexican food, but with that price tag my friends is not worth your money I had better service at Dennys.

Title: Mexican??? Don't think so!!!

Review: This is NOT A MEXICAN RESTAURANT AT ALL..... All the Mexican Restaurants are known for their warm and friendly staff, the smell of food that makes you come back for more. Unfortunately we didn't get that far. Needed to wait till the waiter got off the phone on a personal call, someone else came to sit us down out side and the plate were dusty and bugs all over. We got up and said we like to eat inside. That table had bugs too, menus were old and torn. For the 2nd time he did not ask us if we like something to drink or start us with something or say a 'HELLO WELCOME'!! After waiting & waiting we just got up and left. No need to eat some where we are not welcome nor wanted. That is not the Mexican way. If I'm wrong-please correct me.

Title: Nightmare Dinner experience

Review:

If you can avoid having dinner at this place, please do so, This Restaurant has one of the worst services I have ever experience in fine dinning, The server who happens to be the MANAGER with a not very friendly appereance do not have a clue about service, did not mention any specials (drink or food) just took our margaritas order, did not recomend dishes and when ask about some some ingredients in the dishes he did not had the information, it took him 35 minutes to bring our first meal and the margaritas came after that and we had to ask for more drinks, we request some wine sinve they have a cellar wine but he did not had a clue about it and he didi not made any other suggestions. We where entertainig some clients and this was a huge mistake going to this place. Price was to high for the bad service and average food that you can find in other fine dinnig Mexican restaurants in San Diego. I will never recomend this place. Price is to expensive for the service you receive

Title: Poor Service, Average Food

Review: My wife and I decided to try another Mexican restuarant in Old Town. Our favorite one was Casa De Bandini, which we frequented at least once a month for many years before it closed. They had to close because Old Town was completly revamped After eating there we have not found a good replacement. Based on the reviews, We decided to try El Agave. Upon entering the restaurant and seeing the multitude of tequila bottles decorated on the walls , both my wife and I got very excited and were anxious to try some of the tequila. However, when our waiter asked us what we would like to drink, he did not even suggest anything else but the House Margarita. Not only did he reluctly showed me the tequila menu after I requested it, but he did not even return later to ask if I wanted to try any. At this point, I knew we were in trouble. Based on his ambivalent attitute, my high expectations about dinner quickly diminished. Both my wife and I ordered seafood dishes, based on the waiters recommendations. ... Full Review

Title: Poor Service ok food

Review: Our experience at El Agave was nothing like I had requested when I had placed my reservation online. I had specifically written that we were entertaining guests from out of town and wanted to impress them. I had requested that we be educated on all the different tequilas (which is a huge part of the concept of your restaurant and should be part of the dining experience at El Agave). Our reservation was early (6:30) and your restaurant had mostly empty tables. Our waiter barely greeted us when tossing some menus onto the table. He later came back and asked us for our drink order. NOT ONCE WAS THERE EVEN MENTION OF TEQUILA! I couldn't believe it. Our guests asked for a wine list of which they were told you only serve one brand of wine. This was a perfect chance for the waiter to explain that El Agave specializes in your many tequila's. Not one word from his mouth about Tequila. Our meal went on with crappy service and nothing to make our experience special or unique in any way. I was not ... Full Review
