I took my girlfriend on a date and we stopped by to eat, Please do not sit in the section of the lady who sticks her finger in the salsa, in my opinion that wasn’t really nice so I told her to take it way from us, I read the menu and I asked her a few questions, she couldn’t answer then I realized that she doesn’t know the menu, so Everything else is pretty good oh and by the way she always forgets to bring you silverware, oh wait let me explain something, I was doing this review while I was eating, and they brought us the wrong food so they took our food to a different table, you guys should go its a really nice place trust me, this place makes me feel like I’m at home yeah when my mom is cleaning she always has all her cleaning chemicals over the table.

Nice, fresh tortillas and crunchy chips. Salsa with a bit of a kick. Place is lit up brighter than a dentist’s office. Chile rellenos were flat as pancakes with a soggy breading. Cheese filling was bland. Carne Asada was about half gristle, and half delicious. Not a big fan of refried beans where they’ve been reduced to a pale brown mush either. Pickled jalapenos and carrots and cauliflower on table was very good, but in today’s germaphobic world, it can’t be enticing to many people to share a pair of tongs and the plastic container with table after table. Obviously, not a favorite for us. But when we asked later where the best Mexican food in Delavan was, everyone in the bar agreed — Los Agaves. Your mileage may vary.

Casual authentic Mexican cuisine. Tripe, tongue are on the menu so you know it’s no chain restaurant. The place is small so most likely not good for large groups. I went in for a late lunch. I had the steak tacos, the queso was thick and cheesy. Not thinned out with milk like you see in some places. We also had the steak burrito. Thick and filled with plenty of tender bites of chopped steak. I wasn’t to impressed with the chips. They seemed a little stale. Perhaps they were sitting for awhile. Salsa had a good note. Not overbearing. Table side bottles of salsa verde and chipotle sauce made for nice condiments to the burrito and tacos.

Love eating here! The staff is great and pay attention to their tables. The vegetables on the table are great(could eat them as a meal they are so delicious) I normally get the steak tacos and grilled onions. I think both are consistantly cooked on my many visits. I would agree that some of the steak has chunks of fat on them. My only critique would be the inconsistency with the mix drinks. Sometimes they are extremely strong other times I wondered if there was alcohol in it.

Everyone in the area obsesses over this place. It is no where near as good of food at places like Guanajuato or some of the other neighboring Mexican spots. I got the breaded chicken torta dinner and I couldn’t even bite through the chicken it was so tough. And my teeth are rather sharp. Their steak taco meat always has large chunks of fat.

Simple no frills authentic Mexican food. While visiting Lake Geneva, I asked the wait staff at several restaurants where do they go for Mexican food. They all recommended this place. Had the Chilaquiles with Cecina. Salsa was not spectacular but overall we had a solid dining experience. Well recommended.

Co-workers and I eat lunch here at least twice a month and we have never had a bad meal or bad service. We all love this place! I’m very picky when it comes to Mexican food and this place is as authentic as it gets. Their prices are dirt cheap and you can always get in and out quickly for lunch. It’s mind boggling that people pick Hernandez Restaurant over this place, when eating in Delavan.

Food was only okay. Enchilada red sauce was not very pleasant and enchiladas were small. Chips were stale. Waitress was very kind and prompt, but smelled of cigarette smoke. Okay for the only thing open on a holiday.

Best Mexican food I have had in the Midwest by far! Great prices, lots of options. Free chips and salsa when you dine in and the salsa is amazing!

This i believe was my 3rd visit to Los Agaves, I got the steak taco dinner which is 3 taco’s rice and beans. I also got 2 more Chicken tacos, My Fiancé ordered a Chicken quesadilla, without onions, the server stated the onions are diced up in the chicken mix, so she was going to order pork taco’s the server stated again that the onions are diced in the pork, just not the steak, so she went ahead and tried the chicken tacos. It’s kind of upsettting that they put the onions in the meat for those who dislike onions(I’m also one of those people) The free Chips/Salsa is pretty good. and service is always good, Just a heads up for you onion haters out there.

This is our favorite Mexican Restaurant in the area. They have always impressed us. Guacamole is made fresh from scratch and it is family owned. They make Mexican tacos as well as Americanized versions.

This is the best Mexican restaurant in the Delevan/Darien area. I am from Chicago and am SPOILED when it comes to good Mexican food. The food here is truly authentic and they have an abundance of combo dinners to choose from such as 2 tacos and a tostada, 1 enchilcada, 1 taco and 1 tostada, etc. That way you can sample; Carne Asada, Pastor and Pollo for a variety of great Mexican flavors. They also have the infamous carrots and cauliflower on the tables with a great kick. This place is better than the touristy place around the corner. The Agaves is a great spot and the food has flavor and has never ever been greasy or bad.
