I went with my wife, and we liked the atmosphere. The karaoke was great, and the food was very good (Peruvian). I ordered lomo saltado and my wife ordered pescado a lo macho. The drinks were well-prepared. I'll be back soon, and thanks to Lucia for her service.
I went to Agave last Friday night with some friends, we had a great time here. I want to start off with Food was amazing, everything we ordered had great flavor especially the birria tacos.
Really cool vibe great drinks and service was excellent!! Casamigos margaritas are delicious
Brunch was an absolute vibe! The DJ was great had the music going with good tunes we all got up to start dancing. The food was amazing and fresh. Everything was very tasty and filling. The drinks were delicious we couldn't stop ordering. The service was amazing, the servers were very sweet and helpful with anything questions we had. Very attentive as well and always smiling. Definitely going back!
Came here for cinco de mayo and the place was pretty packed. They had a live DJ and the vibe was definitely festive. They gave a free app of salsa and chips on the table (pretty standard but good). We ordered the loaded nachos for the table and the serving size was good enough for 3-4 people. There was a ton of toppings and they did not cheap out on the meat. For my main dish, I ordered the steak tacos. A++ for serving size since it was 4 tacos with a lot of meat for $15. Only complaint is that I wish the tacos had more flavor. I had to put a LOT of green sauce to get it how I like but otherwise the food was pretty good. We also shared a tres leches dessert. Honestly, this tasted more like tiramisu than tres leches. The cake had a coffee flavor to it which was not my favorite and would not order again. Overall, I would come back again to try their other dishes. TIP: It's valet parking only so be ready to look for street parking.
This place is great. Fun drinks, delicious food and specials on certain nights. The service is good & the place is decorated to theme. Only complaint is if you sit in the back where the DJ booth is, you will have a hard time hearing the people you came to dinner with.
Agave Cocina was an enjoyable meal. The restaurant is not large, but it's well decorated and clean. Our server, Katherine, was attentive and gave good recommendations. My Coconut Margarita was INCREDIBLE and strong. The presentation was stunning and the pink salt was nicely painted from rim to bottom. The coconut flakes, that adorned the surface, enhanced the entire drink. Highly recommended. The Chicken Bowl was served in a cool bowl and was large enough to take some home. The two chicken, Taco Tuesday, selection was flavorful and both were well seasoned. I recommend Agave Cocina Mexicana and am certain that you'll enjoy your experience.
Came here on a Saturday afternoon for Brunch and I was pleasantly surprised. I've been here before a few years prior for dinner and it was meh experience and didn't feel a need to return. My friend invited me to brunch and obliged but "why not" and I had a GREAT time! The music for starters when you walked in set the tone and it was a pretty good playlist! The brunch menu had a decent variety of options and I've never had a Pancake Taco before so it was a no brainer for me! And because the music had me feeling good I said "why not" to a mimosa flight and they were full sized! I will say they were already preselected and no modifications. Nonetheless, go for brunch! It could be just a 1:1 or a group outing you'll have great time!
