The bold flavors of Mexico, an authentic dining experience, high-quality ingredients. Los Agaves, an award-winning Mexican restaurant, offers inventive and innovative dishes in a warm, friendly environment.
Our dishes are always prepared with simple, yet sophisticated presentation, using only the best ingredients available. We believe in classic dishes with a creative twist, which is reflected in our signature dishes such as our Los Agaves Enchiladas—filled with fresh halibut and shrimp, red pepper, onions, and topped with our smoky chipotle sauce - or our Chiles Nortenos - stuffed with shrimp and Oaxaca cheese and topped with chipotle dressing. Our many variations of our famous Ceviches are also a fresh, crowd-favorite menu item.
