Food was bland at best. We were optimistic because my mom had previously been here. As soon as we sat down the lady at the table next to us informed us that her food hadn't been fresh. We were startled by this comment wondering what had happened with this lady. My mom ordered the tostadas- the shredded chicken was "leaking" a watery sauce. It looked like cat food. There was one waitress working at least 7 tables. Id rather eat at Taco Bell. Very disappointing

The service and drinks were good but unfortunately the food was terrible! We usually go to Agave but we wanted to try something new and we were very disappointed with our meals. The salsa tasted similar to marinara sauce, cheese sauce on the shrimp enchilada was gross and the combo burrito was no better than a frozen burrito you get at a store. We were really looking forward to trying a new Mexicican restaurant but we’ll definitely never go back. Our food wasn’t worth the 40ish dollars.

After the funeral service for my stepdad about 22 family members went here for lunch. Outstanding food, outstanding service. 22 of us, only 1 waiter and we all got our drinks and food quickly. It was delicious, hot and fresh. I would highly recommend anyone in TC to make sure you stop in for a bite to eat.

Not a good experience. Only two people working that I could see and they weren't paying attention to customers coming in to be seated. Even though they weren't very busy. We found a broken piece of something in the salsa and instead of bringing us a new one the waitress said she would take half off our meal. In the end she didn't take anything off the bill and we didn't have salsa.

I am SO confused by the reviews! I am from a foodie city and just moved to TC this past fall. I was on the hunt for amazing Mexican food and found it here. I’ve tried several places- all good- not this good. My heart and stomach are very happy right now! We had the choriqueso, carnitas tacos and churros ???

I think this a great restaurant. The food is fresh and well prepared, not to mention very tasty! Great spot to accommodate groups as well. Worth checking this place out!

Nice atmosphere watching waterfalls when dining...food came to table cold as you can see in photo cheese not melted either.. refill beverages not offered by server had to call her back to table

I just wanted to say my experience at Agave was phenomenal. Chips and water as soon as I sat, kind prompt service and amazing food! Much better than the restaurant down the street that couldn’t even get us a server. Robby’s I think, was my first time in there.

Getting seated was slow but the food was great and the drinks were flavorful. Really clean and a cool view of their waterfall.

The food was excellent very unique and very good the waitress was very attentive but I only give it a four because the hostess was underdressed , my wife and I both felt like we were in a strip joint or bar not a family restaurant,I should not have to go into the restaurant and look at a belly button also it made my wife uncomfortable as well it should have. Also I don't like the fact that you allowed a dog in your restaurant while we were eating that was very disconcerting and made my wife and I almost feel sick after we ate our meal and saw that somebody was leaving with a dog if we had known that dog was in there we would not have stayed and ordered. That being said the food was very good and the service was very good especially for the price.

I am so glad we decided to give Robby's a try.(My husband and I were out for our anniversary) The atmosphere is so calming and lovely (The waterfalls are beautiful),and the food...oh the food... It was so good. We will be back . Make sure to try the Cherry Cream soda and get the Queso dip for an appetizer.

This restaurant has a beautiful exterior, and the physical building is very nice.I'm from Texas, & was jonesing for some good Mexican food.First, ordered queso while looking at the menu. Queso was somewhat questionable, I think it has chorizo in it.Ordered lunch, then waitress came back, & told me they were out of chiles for my chili rellenos, did I want something else?Well ya! Mind if I see a menu? Ordered tamales. Wife ordered a combination plate.Tamales were so dry, I could only eat one of them. Wife's tamale was also too dry to finish & her enchilada tasted like it had tomato sauce on it.I didn't expect a real south of the border experience, but Taco Bell would have been better.Best part of our lunch? We still had plenty of room for ice cream (somewhere else).(BTW, the music wasn't to our taste, but it was covered up by the sound of "Friends" blasting from the bar TV.)

The food was average like the people leaving as we came in when I asked them. Better than taco bell.
