Located at
727 West Main Street in Jamestown, El Agavero Mexicano offers Mexican cuisine
for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Online ordering is available, and drink
specials are offered daily.
El Agavero
opened in February in the former Penny’s location, from which it inherited plenty
of space but a dated look and feel. Going by appearances, there is nothing that
would separate El Agavero from several other interchangeable bog-standard
Mexican eateries in the area. That, however, would be selling this restaurant
considerably short.
The menu
here is about what you’d expect, give or take a few additions (Mexican pizza
and pollo palenque) and omissions (no chile verde). The execution, however, surpasses
that expectation. The torta Cubana was part Cuban sandwich, part Mexican sloppy
joe. It was stuffed full of tasty meats (of which, only the pork was a bit
chewy), and the accompanying fries – hot, fresh, and crispy – were surprisingly
good. A cheesy, spicy chile poblano was similarly satisfying.
Staff here
are friendly. Though our server was still learning the menu, this did not cause
us any problems, and our food came relatively quickly. By pricing and portion size,
Agavero is a good value, too.
It may not
beat your go-to spot, but its convenient location and better-than-you’d think
food make El Agovero worth trying for anyone in Jamestown or eastern High
Point.
