Our Story

A Family Kitchen on US-290

El Agave started with a simple idea: make everything taste like it came from someone's grandmother's kitchen. That starts with the basics β€” our salsa and tortilla chips are made fresh in-house every day, the kind of homemade flavor guests tell us they keep coming back for.

From there, our cooks bring the same care to every plate, whether it's a sizzling platter of fajitas, a heaping order of alambre loaded with melted cheese, or camarones piled high with all the fixings. Guests have called our alambre "amazing" and their favorite Tex-Mex in the Johnson City area β€” that kind of feedback is what keeps our grills going from six in the morning.

We keep our hot sauces bold, our portions generous, and our service warm, because a good meal should feel like a welcome. Whether you're stopping in before work or settling in for a long dinner with family, we're glad to have you at our table.
