El Agave Taqueria: Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Auburn, CA

Best taqueria in town, which is saying a lot since we have about 20 of them ha! I’m in love with their Jicama Shrimp Tacos which come with a Jicama shell. But order anything else and you can’t go wrong. They have huge burritos and quesadillas, and their housemade queso is also a must try. This taqueria is perfect for any special dinner or even just a casual lunch. I also love the interior decoration they have, huge plus to the delicious food! I love coming in here and super thankful they’re in Auburn.

El Agave catered our wedding and did a fantastic job. They elevated the buffet table appearance for a beautiful assortment. We got tons of compliments on the food and they offered really strong value. Strong recommendation for catering, and we also enjoy getting lunch at their restaurant.

Yummy food! They have BOMB Taco salads! I love the Al Pastor. The service is swift and friendly. The restaurant is clean, including the restrooms. There's also a full bar to order from or even hang out at. Editor's note: I went back yesterday, over a year after my first visit, and the food was disappointing. This time, I ordered a combo plate with a chili relleno and two flautas. The flautas were good, but that's it. It's pretty hard to screw those up. The rice tasted like dirt. So did the beans. I don't think they were made the traditional way, with lard, otherwise they would have been flavorful. Both the rice and beans severely lacked seasonings. I wasn't impressed with the relleno either. I barely touched it. Also, the tortilla chips are different. They must have come from a bag. They weren't at all like the usual restaurant style chips that are light, warm and crispy. These chips with thick, hard and room temperature.

I love going to this restaurant every time I'm in Auburn visiting my daughter and her family. We are always greeted with a smile and the service is excellent. The food is always great and reasonably priced. And don't forget the churros and ice cream for dessert!!

If you want GREAT Mexican food in Auburn, El Agave is the spot! I hired them to cater my birthday party with an incredible taco bar — and everyone is still talking about it! When I’m dining in, my go-to is their sizzling fajitas and a big, top-shelf Clase Azul margarita… happiness in a glass. Juan is my favorite waiter — he always takes such great care of us — and Angela is amazing at helping with catering. It’s a family-run place with a lot of heart, and you feel that every time you walk in. They even support our Rotary Club events, which makes me love them even more. Delicious food, wonderful people, and always a good time. Highly recommend!

We got catering here for my baby shower and it was a huge hit! Everyone kept raving about how good the food was and asking where we got it from. The proportions were perfect and they gave us everything we needed for my guests to make their own tacos. The communication was great as well highly recommend if you need catering!

Great spot to eat in auburn. Service is top notch and food is always good. Been her a number of times and tried many different things and haven't found anything that wasn't super tasty. This is the Guadalajara Burrito.

In the middle of nowhere one of the best Mexican food places you can get. Real authentic great food. Would love to revisit...
