Agave Azul - Jason getting ready to grub! - Mexican Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Thee best mexican food I've had in Oregon in years, everything is perfectly seasoned and mouth watering good, I recommend the chili rellenos!! Also the staff are always friendly and helpful, food gets made fast and never once have I had a mistake on my order. Bravo for setting the bar so high. read more

The food was good but higher priced. Don't expect chips and salsa though. Enjoy a mojito read more

Small hole in the wall, converted house, cozy, quiet but echo-y, and amazing delicious food for a good price. Date had the big burrito with the mole. Gave it a try, holy crap amazing. Best mole I've had in a restaurant in years. The blackberry margarita was not horribly strong, but enough that it had me sweating and buzzed after one, and I'm a good irish woman. Overall? I will go back again! read more

What amazing authentic food! Was absolutely empty when I went in and I can't understand why! The staff is extremely friendly, fast service, and such delicious food! Recommend 10/10 times! read more

My fiancé and I generally eat at Agave Azul every Friday night; needless to say it is awesome! We generally eat in the bar area and Fransisco is our usual server; he is awesome! All of the staff is friendly and we've never had a bad meal here. If you're looking for great Mexican food and a fun atmosphere, this is the place to go!! read more

Probably the best Mexican cuisine in Gresham. Great deal on surf and turf, friendly service and they always seem to remember you. Some menu go-to's are the 'paseo por Mexico' this entree includes juicy carne asada, mouth-watering chile relleno and a savory enchilada. Some other items on the menu are the terrific tortilla soup, steak nachos, and al pastor sopes. Great bar with a tv and a bartender that makes some stiff drinks. Excellent cadillac margarita! read more

Absolutely unacceptable service. We order 2 combinations and a chicken burrito for take out. They messed up each combination with the wrong order. Served smaller portions. About 1/4 cup of rice and beans, then a small tortilla for the enchilada I received. They repeated the order over the phone it was correct. During pick up it was not. I can see why my food only took 15 minutes to make. Disappointed. If you plan on having an evening out, go elsewhere and support a business who cares. The price for the value is awful. read more

My husband and I went here for lunch during the week. They don't serve chips and salsa, but give you a bean quesadilla instead. Entrees were delicious and good portions. Service wasn't very good, though. It seemed like there was only 1 employee, serving and cooking (but I could be wrong). Place is very small and looks like a small house from the outside. We may eat here again, but we will definitely try to find a better go-to Mexican restaurant in the area. read more

Came back and Francisco remembered us after almost a year- that's some great service! Food and drinks were great, friendly service and an overall great time. read more

I drive by this little joint constantly - my sister lives a couple of blocks away and always raves about it. It's definitely tiny and can get packed easily. Last night, she came with me and I was pleasantly surprised. I had read the great reviews, so I knew I was in for something good. They don't give you chips when you arrive (which is a good thing, considering how I basically inhale those things) but they give you a plate of a warm tortilla with refried beans and some cheese. Light, simple, and really flavorful. I had beef fajitas, but the beef wasn't very flavorful. The onions and everything else was, but it was lacking. My sister ensures me that everything else is insanely flavorful and delicious. Also, I didn't get any drinks, but I saw margaritas go by me and they were about the size of my head. 4 stars for a little bit of slow service to begin with and not very flavorful fajita meat. I'm goin' again! read more

This place has some of the best mexican food around. Anytime i am craving mole, this is where i go. They have some of the best mole outside of mexico read more

They screwed up our order, the was cold when we picked it up, and small portion for the money.

This place is serving super authentic Mexican meals and is the absolute best Mexican in Gresham. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone trying to have a nice dinner and a drink or even if your just going to get takeout! read more

Good food, great people, they even offered me and my friend free drinks cause we didn't have money

One of the better Mexican restaurants we have been to. We love the little bean burrito appetizer. Service can be slow but worth the quality of good food. read more

Stopped here on way out of town after finding it on Yelp. Wasn't disappointed at all! Great service even with the little place being steady busy. Food was delicious and fresh! Best churros we've ever had. Will be back! read more

Agave Azul - YUM... Juan was our server tonight, he was very kind and so eager to make us happy on our date night. The food was fast, hot and very good. My guy likes the chips and salsa that most Mexican restaurants offer, but this place offered a soft bean taco instead.... No chips for my man tonight! We ate plenty and were happy with our visit all around. My guy had Steak Fajitas & I had Pollo ala Cream (chicken with onions and mushrooms in a cream sauce) with beans and rice with a side of really good salsa. So happy hour is 3-7PM Sunday thru Thursday according to Juan. It was clean, quiet, and welcoming.... we will go back here again. read more

The service was attentive and helpful. The prices are very reasonable. The bean and cheese burrito appetizer is a unique idea but do wish you had other options. The atmosphere is clean, upbeat, good lighting, sports playing on the TV in the bar, video poker machines, well stocked bar and decent parking. The food was good but didn't blow me away. We would return. read more

Excellent little place tucked off main road food was very good, lots of flavor and sauces were just right for the food best I have had in or out of the area. One note it's a small place so go early seem to get busy fast around dinner time. So good I had to take a to go order to eat later at home read more

Always great food and service, our favorite local Mexican restaurant. Deck is open and spaced for safer dining outside

I came here with my friend last night we've both never been here before so we didn't know what to expect, so I took to reviews prior to going and figured it must be kinda good so we tried something simple.... tacos like who messes up tacos right ? Well this place does we got both chicken and steak tacos, they charged us $4 a taco. In my head I figured it must be really good to be so expensive right?.... WRONG. They were dry and flavorless. The most exciting part of the tacos was the fact that they put a slice of avocado on them. So 10 tacos and 40 dollars later only two tacos were half way eaten and we ended up grabbing Taco Bell. I don't recommend it at all. read more

I love this place! Just had a quick lunch, didn't get to try too much, but this its what I know: super cute house in Gresham, very nicely decorated & comfortable. Great service, might have been the owner, he was fantastic. The tacos, sauces, meats & beans all had great flavor & were obviously made w quality, fresh ingredients. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! read more

Great food. I highly recommend Enchiladas de Mole. They bring little bean tacos instead of chips. All very good. read more

Agave Azul - Enchilada de Mole - Mexican Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

I have no idea how anyone can eat here...4 stars really? It must be family writing the reviews... EVERYTHING on our plates was from a jar or can, the asada looked and tasted like beef jerky, the chicken was so dry it was not edible even with canned sauce on it... The margarita even had a weird chemical taste... As soon as we started eating we pushed our plates away and asked for the check... My 9 year old ate his cheese enchilada and even he hated the food but was very hungry.... I had many reservations sitting down but ordered anyway, all white people in restaurant, person in next table pushing his food around with a fork and not eating it,a lady handing us a coupon she couldn't use...All added up to exactly what I thought this place would be upon entry, it was horrible... The servers were nice, but how they can serve this with a smile is beyond me, the kitchen staff must laugh while cooking... We actually drove to a real Mexican place and got food to go, after $30 of not edible food it was an expensive night.. read more

We stopped by to try Agave Azul a few days ago and really enjoyed it. I had the "Paseo por Mexico" platter and my friend had carne asada. In my opinion, although the cost was a bit higher than other Mexican restaurants in the area, the food had AWESOME flavor (especially the carne asada) and the ingredients in both dishes seemed fresh and high-quality. My only complaint would be that they evidently only have tomatillo salsa. I'm not a fan of tomatillos, so it would be great if they offered a tomato-based salsa as an alternative. Despite that, I would definitely return to try some of their other dishes. read more

The chili relleno was excellent, the sauce very good and I liked the corn tortilla with the refried bean appetizer. The only thing stopping me from giving them 5 stars is my dish was listed at 12.95 on the menu and they charged us 13,95 with no explanation. I requested a different kind of beans so maybe that was why? I would've paid the extra I just would've liked to know. . read more

I got the carnitas plate and the meat was disgusting. The carnitas had so much fat that there was barely any actual meat on it. It was also very tasteless. Was unimpressed with their corn tortillas as well. It seemed like they were just microwaved. My friend had two sopes with carne asada and he said the meat had no flavor. read more

The food at this restaurant is really good. It seems more authentic than most Mexican restaurants. The service and drinks are great as well. My family and I have gone to Agave Azul a handful of times and will continue to go back. I really like how they serve a warm small tortilla with beans opposed to chips and salsa. read more

Love this Mom and Pop Mexican Restaurant. Great food and great service. Have sent many friends there for dinner and drinks

Food sucked, really bland and not much flavor. Place looks cool and small. Almost too small though. Service was good. But couldn't get over how blaw the food tasted. Drinks had like zero alcohol. read more

Tonight my mom and I decided to try Agave Azul for the first time (we have always heard good things). Wow! Were were so happy with our decision. The peach margarita was so fresh and tasty. The food (cheese enchiladas) was not only the perfect portion but also yummy flavoring on them. The service was attentive and both gentlemen were friendly. We now have a new favorite restaurant and can't wait to bring friends and family members with us. read more

Really good food! Although small lunch portions- very good and reasonable prices. No one was there when my husband and I went so very fast service! Instead of chips and salsa they do a small container of delicious salsa and a bean taco, yummy! Would definitely go again!! read more

Agave Azul - Mexican Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Ordered take out because of the quarantine. Got it home and it was just as good as when we ate IN the restaurant. Camarones jalisco and enchilada and Chile relleno. Both were superb. The owner is always bright and sunshiny, smile and like you are her very best friend. Warmest, most friendly Mexican restaurant in Gresham with the BEST food. read more

Service was terrible and they weren't even busy. Forgot to bring us our appetizer and water. Would've ordered another beer if her looked our way, but appeared to be uninterested in us as customers. Hopefully the $1 tip wakes him up about customer service. read more

Great hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Authentic flavor. It's super tiny inside, but cozy. Like most said, no chip and salsa, just refried beans inside a fold over tortilla. Thinking about it, chip and salsa always fills us up before we get our main course, so it was no big deal. The mole sauce on the Enchiladas, my girlfriend had was on point, and my Pollo a la Diabla was spicy and flavorful. We asked for hot sauce, and was expecting Tapatio, but the server brought out their house made sauce, which was way better than we expected. Perfect amount of spices and flavor that doesn't overpower the dish itself. We still had room for desert, so we tried the Fried Ice Cream, and it was delicious! Next time, we will have to try the Churro. Will definitely return! read more

im sad to report that my last 2 visits to agave azul have been really, really disappointing. we will not be returning. the service - what service? we sat in the lounge and were completely and totally ignored for at least 15 minutes. there were 2 other patrons in the bar. we waited over 20 minutes after we ordered drinks to receive them. the bartender was busy watching soccer. our food took WAY too long to arrive and was nothing at all like we experienced on our first visit. overcooked, bland, tiny portions, and served by a server who was obviously completely overwhelmed by the scope of his job even though there were not more than 10 people in the entire restaurant. sorry guys... we tried and tried and then tried again but we will not be back. ps: if you happen to be a very young, very blonde (no offense- for real!) barely 20-something customer you will receive good and attentive service from the bartender. just a casual observation. read more

I moved to Gresham from Southern California and I have to say that this restaurant rivals the authentic mexican food of San Diego. Everything is prepared fresh and they have the BEST sauce I have ever tasted. Friendly staff, quick service and great food.... it is truly a hidden gem of Portland. read more

My aunt and uncle introduced me to this quaint little house-turned-restaurant. Absolutely delicious! First off, instead of the traditional chips and salsa, they bring you a soft taco. Definitely original! I had a beef dish with mole sauce. I have shied away from Mexican sauces before and I'm not sure why, but this sauce was incredible! Spicy, yet chocolatey! I tried a little of everything from the rest of our party's plates. All of it was outstanding; the best Mexican food I have ever had. This place is definitely as good as it gets! **Fun fact: The building Agave Azul resides in is where the original "Gardenburger" was created.** read more

prices are high for what you get, food is OK. It is a family owned busines that has been in this location for many many years, people either love them or they do not. Sometimes you sit for awhile before they know you are there, you have to go look for someone for service read more
