El Agave Restaurant

Profile narrative

El Agave Restaurant, also known as El Agave and El Agave Mexican Restaurant, is a dining establishment that specializes in Mexican cuisine. The organisation's headquarters is located in the United States of America. It provides menu items typical of Mexican food, such as tacos, enchiladas, and other traditional dishes, to its customers. The restaurant operates under the alias names in its branding and signage. As a food service provider, its primary activity is the preparation and sale of meals for on‑premise consumption or takeaway. The business serves patrons within the United States, reflecting its domestic market focus.

In March 2014, the point‑of‑sale system at the El Agave Restaurant location in Fairmont was compromised by hackers. The breach led to the theft of payment card data, resulting in over 200 reports of unauthorized transactions across at least 13 states, including Texas, Arizona, and New York. The restaurant was unaware of the intrusion until the fraudulent activity surfaced and subsequently cooperated fully with law‑enforcement investigators. Investigators found no evidence that any employees were involved in the attack. The U.S. Secret Service joined local authorities in the investigation of the incident. The event highlighted vulnerabilities in the restaurant’s payment processing infrastructure and prompted a broader response from federal and state agencies. No further details about the organisation’s size, ownership structure, or additional locations are provided in the available source material.
