El Agave Family Mexican Restaurant

A hidden gem in Rio Rancho!!! Food:. Best Mexican food we've had in ages! So much flavor, not just heat but flavor! The Green Chile has perfect flavor and the Red is colorful and super tasty. The fresh homemade chips and salsa was practically a meal itself. The vegetarian burrito had fresh grilled vegetables with tons of flavor! This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. Service: Very friendly and professional staff, we felt very welcome. We waited less than 10 minutes for our meals and plenty of drink refills without having to ask. Atmosphere: Simple and very colorful. We've never seen such a clean restaurant either. The cleanliness is the first thing we noticed. Music volume was just right for a relaxing meal and the booth seating was so comfy.

If you're looking for REAL, AUTHENTIC Mexican food (not New Mexican), this is the place! A hidden gem. Staff is super nice and extremely attentive. The food is from scratch and fantastic.

We just moved to Rio rancho and we wanted a new, authentic New/Mexican food restaurant. We found the hidden gem. We tried Hot Tamales nearby and we just weren't impressed at all. HOWEVER, the food here at El Agave is phenomenal. The food and service never disappoints. We've been here about 5 times already and it's consistent every time. Wonderful food and service. I can't recommend this place enough.
