El Agave

112 West Main Street, Pickens, SC 29671

"Very friendly staff, quick service, good food! Especially like the salsa and their chicken soup is the BEST!! We have tried a variety of their menu options and haven’t been disappointed in any!"

"I love the old structure that El Agave is run out of, it looks to me an old shipping building. The food has always pleased us. The atmosphere is pleasing. There service is top notch and the owner will come around to see if you are pleased with their service."

"We got into town a little late on Sunday evening and called to see if they minded if we showed up 20 minutes before closing. They were super friendly, welcoming, and patient as we perused the extensive menu. The food was great, (the refried beans are fabulous!) Would definitely recommend."

"The wait staff was nice enough and we had no service complaints. The restaurant is a bit old, but it was relatively clean. Unfortunately, the food was not phenomenal. The chips are definitely not made in house and the house salsa was very watery. The rojo sauce was pretty bland and the stuffed chili pepper looked pretty black. Much of the food seems to be likely frozen and reheated at some point. The rice was the best part and we really liked it. The prices were pretty good, but they also charge a 4% fee if you use a credit card. Overall, this place is okay, but I would probably skip it."

"We've consistently had good meals at El Agave. It's not a big place but it's right on Main street in Pickens. During cooler weather it is nice to sit outside at one of their two tables. We both ordered from the El Agave Specials on their menu. The first picture is their homemade flan. Huge portion to be shared by two and no, we didn't do dessert first. The middle picture is their La Superior dish. That is a burrito and a chili pepper which is actually a poblano. Both stuffed with ground beef and topped with ranchero sauce and served with refried beans and rice. Very tasty. The last dish are their fried chimichangas served with sour cream, tomato and guacamole salad. The burritos were to be made with beef tips but these were made el pastor (pork) in error and were fantastic. They do start you with chips and salsa but have a good selection of appetizers. BTW the people working here are friendly and attentive."
