Los Agaves Restaurant: A Taste of Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Artesia

They made us a huge pan of steak fajitas on short notice for our employee christmas luncheon! They were phenomenal! Thank you so much for accommodating us on 12/23 we definitely will be back ! -Team Hampton Artesia !

My favorite place in Artesia! We literally will eat here days in a row or Twice in one day. We are very rarely disappointed, and when they do make a mistake, they are very willing to help and fix it! The atmosphere is great and so is the staff! Highly recommend! My favorite is the green enchiladas! And they’re nachos! Also, they fix you up with all the extras like limes, salsa, tortillas, and toast with no charge!

I almost rated this place a 4… we waited for 10-15 minutes just to place a drink order. We were given our menus and left alone- all while every table around us was taken care of. At some point a waitress finally stopped by and decided to just help us out. Thank goodness she did because the food is great! I’m so glad we didn’t leave. If you see this place on Google Maps it looks like it’s in the middle of a subdivision but it’s not really. You owe it to yourself to stop by and grab a meal. The menu is huge and everything on our table was great. The salsa they bring you with the chips is no joke. Quite a kick to it. I don’t know if I’ll ever be back, since I’d never been in town before. But I’d gladly return! :-)

My boys and I stopped in on a Friday morning and had no issues getting seated right away despite a busy floor. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The area we were sat was clean and everything on the table was fully stocked. Drinks came right away, including a great cup of coffee in a traditional Mexican clay mug. The boys ordered pancakes, which they said were great but I ordered some real food. I got a plate of Migas with fried papas and refried beans. Walking in, the table next to us had two bowls of menudo, so the aroma was pretty hard to resist. I also ordered a small bowl to share. The migas plate was huge. Everything was delicious, well seasoned, great traditional flavors, and ended up having to pack up the menudo because there was so much food. Great visit and nice to have a real Mexican restaurant in a small NM town.

I told myself I’d only have a couple of tacos, but then the carne asada arrived at the table still sizzling, and all my self-control vanished. No regrets — just good food, better company, and a very happy stomach.

Chips, salsa, cheese enchiladas and chili rellenos were fantastic. They brought pulled chicken for our dog. Would return and recommend. Friendly and prompt service.

If you’re ever in Artesia, NM, this Mexican restaurant is an absolute must! The food is simply amazing, authentic, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. From the tacos to the enchiladas, every dish was a hit. But the margaritas? Easily the best I’ve had in a long time. Refreshing, balanced, and strong enough to get you in a festive mood! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. Definitely a spot I’ll be returning to next time I’m in town!

Authentic, fresh and tasty! Our server Maggie was super polite and accommodating to our gringo family! Happy that we stopped in on a Saturday because some of the items are only available on the weekends!
