"Horrible management. I used to work there and have my own thoughts about the horrible management, but will keep to myself as this is about my brother who has autism. I decided to help him get a job up there because he needed somewhere close and something he believed he could perform well at. He’s worked other jobs before, including other fast food restaurants, and all have said he can perform his specified duties and perform them well. I talked to the GM for him, mentioned the autism and his work history, and he was hired by the GM. So at this point his autism is 100% recognized and acknowledged. He started Friday and I was told I needed to talk to him because “he wanted to keep talking to people about video games”, but did not say he performed poorly or not at all at his duties. Now I know he likes to talk about those types of topics a lot and sometimes can be agitating, but keep in mind he has autism, so this is not irregular. 2. While I don’t mind having that discussion with him, why would management not recognize this as their responsibility, which it is. This annoyed me, but I let it go and went on about my day. But then yesterday, Saturday Nov. 18th, they decided to let him go due to him apparently asking for weekends off going forward. 1. I fully believe the actual reason is due to the management not wanting to take the time to give extra training or give him a chance at all. 2. Once again, he has autism and is also a student at the local high school as a senior. So he also has school to focus on top of having a disability and now a job. The management was not willing to somewhat try to work with his request or give him a chance. Under the ADA act employers are required to give reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities when requested. I’m not saying having both weekend days off every weekend is entirely reasonable, but they could have helped him in some way and fulfilled his reasonable request in some way. If you read all this and agree with me on the managements poor decision then I ask you please share this with all the locals of pickens, friends, anyone you know who eats at this specific Burger King etc. They need to be held accountable, especially since the poor management has been mentioned time and time again including when I worked there. Thanks!"

"I tried a selection of tacos: carnitas, pastor, and steak, all served on soft, warm corn tortillas with cilantro and onion. The red and green hot sauces were both delicious and just the right level of spiciness, so my wife could enjoy them too. I appreciate spicy food, and these sauces hit the spot. The tacos came with a basket of hot and crispy chips, which, while not my favorite style, were still enjoyable. We also received two salsas—one mild and one with a bit more heat—both of which were tasty. My wife ordered three beef tacos in crunchy shells, filled with a minced beef mixture and topped with sour cream. They resembled the tacos from Taco Bell but were likely more in line with what the locals enjoy. My wife loved them as well. We also appreciated the refried beans. Overall, the prices were very reasonable."

"The meals weren't very appealing for photos; it seemed like the food was just dropped on the plates and brought out. My husband ordered arroz con pollo y camarones, which came loaded with onions, peppers, squash, and mushrooms. He said it wasn't bad. I had stepped away to wash my hands when the server took our orders, and he mentioned he would return. We ended up having to find him again, and I ordered shrimp and rice. Everyone else received their meals except for me. The manager noticed my absence and went to check on my order. By that time, the rest of the group had finished eating. When my food finally arrived, the rice was overcooked and clumpy, and the shrimp were rubbery. Overall, we enjoyed our time at El Agave in Pickens and plan to return, but considering we dined between 2:00 and 2:30 PM when it wasn’t busy, I expected a better experience all around."
