What locals are saying
Agaves Cantina on Daniel Island is considered the reliable neighborhood Mexican spot for locals, praised for its lively outdoor seating, generous portions, and affordable lunch specials — but it draws consistent criticism for inconsistent service and hit-or-miss margaritas. Food quality is generally well-received though some recent reviews flag dishes arriving cold and a dip in overall execution. It functions more as a comfortable community regular than a destination-worthy standout.

The $10 lunch quesadilla rellena is the recurring order tip — big portions, solid value, chips and salsa included in the praise. Fajitas and the Queso Fundido with ground beef draw consistent recommendations, while specialty margaritas (the Azul's Treasure gets named) outpace the standard margs; service and food temperature run inconsistent enough that a few people swear off return visits while regulars shrug and keep showing up.
