  I visited this restaurant several times when it first opened.  
  The shrimp diablo is delicious!  Sets your mouth on fire!
  The drink prices where great too!

  I hereby nominate El Agave for the best chicken quesadilla in Bellingham. Also: best loaded margs and great salsa/beans!!!!!! We are always met with friendly service and receive food super hot and super delicious! Thank you for the great food and service! I highly recommend this place if you love big portions and a great meal :-)

  Finally getting around to reviewing after eating here for several years for different occasions with large groups or take out for just myself. You go in knowing most Mexican restaurants are Americanized, so let's get that out of the way. The food quality and service has always been consistent although ironically, today a little slow. We usually get the owner waiting on us and that's always a fun time joking with him and learning new Mexican words.
  
  I try not to fall into the same unadventerous habit of ordering the same Thai dish
  There are many choices, lunch specials. Combos, huge buritos, sizzling fajita platters, seafood. Okay, next time I will try something new!

  One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in town, my family and I have gathered here for many meals over the years and never been disappointed.
  It seems as though one of the owners is always filling the server position there as he enjoys it and is a friendly and knowledgeable guy. I think his name is Alfonso.
  I've enjoyed many meals off the seafood and chicken menu selections, especially the fish tacos were delicious.
  I had the Super burrito this time and it came on a huge plate with side of rice and beans. It was stuffed with broccoli, cauliflower. onions, peppers, mushrooms, sauce and topped with cheese, guacamole and sour cream. It was delicious.
  Everything I've ever had here has been great and I would order again.
  Sometimes service is slow even though the place only has a few tables of diners.

  This restaurant has a good atmosphere, and a welcoming staff. Upon arrival I was greeted and taken to my table. Quickly following was chips and salsa, and water.
  
  There is a pretty good menu of selections. For a starter I decided upon the stuffed jalapeños. They arrived really quick...instantly making note of the breading, these are not prepared in the restaurant but rather from a commercial purveyor...someone like "SISCO". While they did have a good flavor, the outside was hard while the inside was "warm" and some were cold.
  
  My main course arrived...beef enchilada and a chile relleno, comes with beans and rice. The chile relleno was sitting in its own pool of water...evident that the chile relleno was also from someone like "SISCO" and was frozen. To me the water on the plate is evident that the meal is microwave heated.
  
  A real disappointment. I had believed this restaurant to be the real thing. I won't be back. Sorry.
