i go for lunch during the week and they are always extremely fast, which is probably most important to me during the lunch hour. i don’t necessarily care for the new crab cakes, but everything else is great, the staff is always super friendly AND they always get my crazy order right without having to send it back!!!!

So slow. Sat outside and waited 10min for no service. Moved inside to get service. Was able to order a drink after 5 more min. And it has been 10 more min and no drink, water, no acknowledgment of existence. Also the salsa tastes like tomato paste. Absolutely don’t recommend eating here.

Our server (red head with bangs) was amazing. Very sweet and attentive. I also would like to point out that i saw another waitress tonight (4/21/23), with her hair in a bun, bring a special needs customer to the dance floor so he could be included in the fun. Props to your servers, great hiring<3

Food, service, and atmosphere are almost always great (not true for all locations)… My main critique.. I don’t go often but it seems like every time I do, the prices go up and the portions slightly decrease. But, maybe I’m cheap… I keep going because of the first sentence 🙂

Agave is soo good! The location on Vermillion has the feel of vacation in Mexico! Metal gatework, lush greenery, & a yellow Mercedes decorate the patio. My Seafood Enchiladas came in corn tortillas, a gluten free option. Best salsa award goes to Agave!! A real treat in Lafayette, with unique style & relaxed dining.

Fajita wrap with vegetables from the lunch menu was tasty. Wish there were more vegetarian options. Very good service! Love the outdoor seating.
