Agavero Guac & Margs

This spot opened yesterday across the street from where my friends live and we decided to come with a group on a whim. Very solid spot—we had a big table in the back, they played good music, and the service was great (thanks Emily!). Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks—a favorite was the pork carnitas.

Checked it out on opening night and definitely will be back. You're greeted with chips and salsa which is a nice touch you typically don't get in the city with these nicer Mexican restaurants. Although refill on chips and salsa was $4 each ($8 total) which is a bit steep, I won't hold it against them as most places charge for the first round. For drinks, we tried the margarita flights which were beautifully presented and every flavor delicious. Then tried the Agavero Top Shelf margarita which was excellent and strong, will probably be my go to for future visits. The steak fajitas and steak enchiladas were both delicious. Big portion for the steak and was tender yet lean. Very nice you get 3 choices for your beans too! Service was incredibly attentive and personal. Hope they continue to be so great! A must try in Southie.

Been walking by almost daily and been enchanted with the decor, so when we saw it was open we jumped at the chance to try it out. The food was amazing and of high quality - perfectly fresh salsa and chips, and the burrito and chipotle camarones was exceptional. The burrito was also huge. My child ate all my refried beans. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive, and I'm excited to try more of the menu!

A wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Fantastic food and even better people! Free fresh chips and salsa! Great portion sizes and the house margarita is my favorite! Will definitely be back soon!

First, I’m from Houston so I have strong feelings about Mexican food. This is by far the best Mexican/TexMex I personally have found in Boston, so I’m giving it five stars—but admittedly I’m grading on a curve for Massachusetts. :) The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is very cute. We ordered the queso dip, shrimp tacos, tacos al pastor, rice, refried beans, black beans, the house margarita, and a mezcalita. The queso dip, beans, rice, and tortillas were great and by far the best I’ve had in Boston. Everything else was solidly good but not great, but I look forward to coming back and trying other menu items. The prices definitely reflect the location in Boston, in that if I told friends back home that I paid $20 for two tacos al pastor with beans and rice, they would die laughing. But major points that they give you the first round of chips & salsa for free! To me the cost was worth it to feel like I’m home for a meal. Will definitely be back!

Really good drinks! The service was friendly and kind. The food was fantastic. Will be adding this to the list of go to taco date night spots.

Food was excellent. By far the best Mexican I have had in Boston. Great ambience and service I will be back!

The decor is great. It a nice mix of modern aesthetics and traditional Mexican decor. The food however left much to be desired. While everything was cooked well, it all lacked flavor! The drinks, the guacamole, the corn, and the entrees were all missing something. It didn’t feel very authentic. We were very disappointed. However our server, Axilda, was very attentive and she really went above and beyond to try and remedy the situation.

Agavero is a must try in Southie! They just opened up and I've been keeping an eye on them for some time now. So excited to see them finally open and a great location being at the end of Broadway right next to the T. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. A gorgeous tree in the middle, beautiful mural art on the wall, and other decorations that make for really nice touches. I had the house margarita which was delicious. Queso fundido to start as an appetizer. The cheese was so good. I tried the gobernador tacos and the gringo tacos with ground beef. The gobernador was delicious shrimp and very spicy, so watch out if you don't like spice. The gringo was nice but I'd probably opt for one of their other options next time. Service was friendly and very attentive. It's their first night and they were doing great. They also serve you salsa and chips to start which is the best and not as common these days. Highly recommend trying them out! Great addition to the neighborhood.

We are so excited about this new restaurant. We've been twice. Sat at the bar the first time, in a comfy booth the second. Both times, Super friendly service from everyone. Both times, Food is fantastic. Homemade guac, queso fundido, salmon fajitas. Our new favorite spot!

Wow! Cancun or southie I couldn't tell! This place really does the job, when you need good Mexican this is the place you have to go. The Mamacita literally knocked me out my seat! The fajitas burrito stuffed my like a stuffed shell. The service? Well let me tell ya they make sure you are all set. The atmosphere? Electric. If you are in the area you need to check out this great local spot.

Everything here was 5 stars, the service, food and drinks. I'll definitely be back soon.

AMAZING food, drinks, and staff. The decor is beautiful as well! Very authentic, will be back for sure. So so good!!!!
