El Agave

Food was good (not amazing), and staff was very friendly and prompt. Nacho chips and salsa were yummy; my six year old wanted to go back the next day to get more. The tostada was my favorite, the sauce had good flavor. Beef enchiladas were average, but no complaints at all. Atmosphere is very casual/​comfortable. We’d go back again.

Service is excellent, quality is very good, and the prices are reasonable. Their simple grilled chicken quesadilla might be the best I’ve ever had. In fact, most of their chicken dishes are outstanding, just something about the marinade or rub. Chips, queso, and salsa are all top shelf. I might even give them the edge for the best margarita in town.
The ambience is about the same as the adjoining gas station, so don’t go to celebrate your anniversary. How do they keep prices affordable — no overhead.

Worst service in town. Total waste of time. Worst restaurant in town anywhere else. Go to el Jalisco Mexican food without the asshole.

Excellent food, quick service. Had to wait but we did come on Cinco de Maya after all! Get the batter shrimp.

Very good service! Like most so called Mexican food places they have TEXMEX food not real Mexican. Food is good

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! Our family visits almost weekly. The Carnitas are the best I’ve ever had! I have searched high and low for any that even come close but this place has the competition beat!

Great food and terrific staff! I had the Burrito Verde and a margarita. Portion sizes are good, enough but not so much you feel gross. My one-​year-​old loved the side of beans.

⁵⁄₅ Would agave again.
Terrific salsa and wonderful service. Very tight knit and family friendly environment. Had the fajita nachos with shrimp. Shrimp cooked very well and good texture with the chips! Loved it all.
Tip: if you’re new and the place is full, write your name on the white board to get in the queue.

This place is awesome! My fiancé comes here every week for lunch, and he took me for dinner tonight. They are kid friendly, have plenty of booster seats and high chairs, and is very clean inside. I got the chicken taco salad, and there were options for how I wanted my chicken. I went with pulled which was perfect for my daughter who is learning to chew food. She ate it right up! The Pico de Gallo is perfect, and you should definitely get the queso to go with the chips and salsa! Employees are super friendly as well making is feel very welcomed.

So we were staying at The Lodge and decided to walk to the restaurant for dinner. Sort of a laughable moment when we noticed that it was attached to the BP gas station. We all ordered something different and all walked away quite happy. I had the Carne Asada which was really good, another in our group had some sort of fish dish that they said was great and another had the Chilies rellienos which he also said was good. Chunky Guacamole was excellent and the house salsa and chips were good and plentiful. Margaritas are off the hook good and the service was prompt, friendly and efficient. We will go back.

2^nd visit.
Service and atmosphere are great and very friendly. Cheese dip and salsa were excellent. Need bigger and larger quantity chips.
I had the House Special after server’s recommendation. It was out of this world!!! Beef, chicken, shrimp, onions, peppers, cheese and rice. Wow!!!
Biggest downer was the margaritas. Very «mixy» tasted very bottled.
Will return, but will stick with beer.

Best Mexican food I have ever had. Service is amazingly fast. You sit down and are served immediately with chips and salsa. After you order, your food is there so quickly, you wonder if they knew what you wanted as soon as you came in. Staff is most friendly and welcoming. I love to eat there! Prices are more than reasonable.

Can you say AUTHENTIC ! It aint fancy (FYI for the Ritz visitors who may find this place) but it sure is good. The food your mama would make if she were from Mexico.
We ordered the carne asada and a taco salad and 4 Modelos.
Now the tequilla selection could be upgraded and the chips didn’t live up to the salsa but again… Its a very plain but very real little spot a notch above being a dive. I will return…

If you dismiss the idea of eating here because it is in the same building as a gas station, you are a damn fool.
Hands down, the best Mexican restaurant in the Lake Oconee area.

By far the best Mexican food on the lake. Because of its small size, you may find yourself waiting during the hours of 11 – 1 and 5 – 7, but it is well worth the wait.

This place is more commonly referred to as the BP Mexican among locals, including my grandparents, because it is nearby to a BP gas station. This place is extremely good Mexican food not only because it’s rural Georgia and you wouldn’t expect Mexican food but because of how good the food is. The owners apparently came from Santa Ana CA, a very Mexican influenced area in SoCal so it is pretty authentic as well. It is a small restaurant and most of the clientele are slow eaters so there is usually a line reaching out the door. Go during the offpeak season to get seated right away.

The best Mexican restaurant in lake country.

This Mexican restaurant is also and more popularly known as the «BP Mexican». As it is located at the BP station strip center and I’ve never heard it called anything else.
My family is from the San Diego, CA area and my husband and son were born there and they are ruthless critics of Mexican food and they love this place.
There is no atmosphere and barely comfortable seating but the food is good, fast and reasonable. We always have to get the extra hot sauce. The first time husband & son asked for this, the waiters all stopped what they were doing to see what would happen when the «gringos» ate the hot sauce. Evidendly some test was passed and there is never a question when we ask for the hot sauce now. I love the chicken fahitas and usually get them.
If you don’t get there by 6 pm though you may have to wait. It is not uncommon to see a line.
