    Solid Mexican restaurant for margaritas (classico & guava). The guava margarita has jalapenos so don't be fooled, it has some kick! Menu is robust with lots of options depending on what your appetite looks like. Starting with chips & salsa--salsa is homemade. Salsa verde looks tame, but has a lot of post-bite fire. the chipotle is very smokey and provides a nice balance against the verde. I went there for the queso fundido and it did not disappoint. I will say that it wasn't as oily as others that I've had... I'm not sure how I feel about it. The creaminess and flavor of the cheese was great, but I do like having that liquid oil on top..... good amount of chorizo. The cheese quesadilla was great---well-proportioned, fresh guac, nice to have the sour cream on the side. The Camarones Xochitl was also delicious--looks benign, but has a mild kick afterwards. Service was attentive, polite, helpful. Endless supply of chips + salsa. Friendly. Thank you!

    Our first time at Agave was great, this time not so much. The fish enchilada and the carnitas were both dry. We asked two of the service staff for more chips and never got them. The guacamole was good.

    Excellent service and food - best fish burrito with creamy sauce anywhere. And great margarita selection. Highly recommended. Easy for large groups -- lots of space and nice patio.

    We went for lunch and sat in the back patio. The weather was nice and so was the food. We ordered margaritas, appetizers and entrees which were all very good. The service staff was attentive

    Was a good choice, but would have preferred servers who didn’t push more pitchers of Margaritas and also who would have been more attentive later in the meal.
