    Food was already prepared, was on the table less than 8 mins after ordering and was lukewarm warm at best. Disappointing.

    Return customers… I thought the margaritas are as good as ever and as good as any I’ve had anywhere. The Queso Verde rocks and the Green Chili Pork soup is a favorite. Chicken Fajitas were very good. Our Fajitas came as a chicken/diablo shrimp combo but turned out to be really good. Try their Island Shrimp… very tasty. If anything… it seemed like the soup and the queso were a little spicier than we’ve had before, but I highly recommend Cien Agave if you’re in Old Town Scottsdale.

    The quantity provided for the dishes has ridiculously decreased compared to the past. I was very much disappointed.

    Second time here for us. The fajita salad with shrimp and the chicken chimichanga were excellent. Our server was terrific. Although it was a chilly night, we sat outside in their nice courtyard setting with heaters above us.
