Great atmosphere, food, people, margaritas, service, and the best Nachos I have ever had! The owners are friendly, the place is dog friendly, and there is even water bowls for the dogs, and dog cookies, they have thought of everything! Did I mention the BEST Margariras I have ever had? Do not miss this local place as it is the... more

We enjoyed lunch on the deck overlooking the Lake. But, the bill seemed ridiculously high based on our order. On examination, I discovered that we were billed for two tables worth of food (two at our table, four persons at the other table, and we got the bill for all!)..... The waitress wasn't apologetic..... Is this their business model? Service... more

A unique menu with creative "authentic" mexican dishes. If you've traveled to Mexico you know. This is not your average "American" Mexican imitation or formulated fare. Good Service, great drinks. Splurge on the signature top shelf tequila drinks, worth every penny. Great community minded business. A fun place to hang loose and meet friends. more

We ate here over the 4th of july weekend for the first time in several years. We have a 2nd home up here so are in the area frequently. On our first visit we had terrible service but the food was good. This time the service was excellent; we sat outside on the deck with a good view of the... more

We should have known how terrible we would feel after the meal when we tasted the drinks. The prices were outrageous for the value. They even made the kids meal high spice, but the adults didn't have any flavor. more

Awful!

This place looked cute so we decided to try it out. Big mistake. We should have heeded the clues and left when our server took more than ten minutes to approach our table. The food was absolutely disgusting. And my husband and I aren't picky eaters. The stand-out was the chili con queso- the cheese had large gloppy pieces and... more

OK, it's not the most authentic Mexican food in California, but it's consistently tasty and fresh, with nice service and a laid-back atmosphere. Good margaritas (worth splurging on the fancier tequilas), decent tacos, tasty carnitas. more

We had a very nice and affordable dinner here. We arrived at 7pm and were promptly seated in a booth. Our server was friendly and the food arrived promptly. She started us off with a large basket of chips (white, green, and red) and two types of salsa. My fiance had the pork carnitas - -a huge dish of pork,... more

There are 5 of us vacationing together here & we were in the mood for Mexican so we decided to give the Blue Agave a try. We were not disappointed in the least. Our waiter was excellent and the food was even better! My mom had the taco salad & claimed it was the best she has ever had and... more
