We had REALLY delicious food from Agave. The three dip trio was seriously so good, we had to force ourselves to stop so we could eat our entrees. My friend got the taco platter. I had the chicken fajitas platter. We are both gluten free and they were very accommodating. We sat outside on their patio, because it was such a nice day. Hostess was very sweet, the server was really nice--weird to say this, but maybe too nice? I didn't have a margarita, but my friend didn't finish hers because it wasn't great. She said it was cloyingly sweet and artificial. Everything else was excellent. read more

I really wanted to love it here because the person I came with absolutely lovessss it and comes here all the time! The chips were nice and crispy and the salsa was too thin/watery for me personally. We split the birria egg rolls to start, which was perhaps just a wrong choice. I didn't even finish one and was feeling so full/heavy by the time my fajitas came that I had to box it up and take it all home. I liked the flavor but wow I felt so sick after eating it. Prices were reasonable- my fiesta fajita meal was under $20 and had shrimp, chorizo, chicken, steak, AND carnitas. Huge value and all the meat was yummy. If I returned, I would definitely just skip the heavy app and get an entree. read more

Food was delicious, I had the carne asada and the table split the street corn and cocktail shrimp. My wife had some kind of tacos and our friend had some kind of enchiladas, I didn't try their food but looked equally tasty to me. Service on the other hand was absolutely atrocious. Our friend ordered a Paloma, and after waiting for around 10-15 minutes the waiter came by to say the bartender was backed up (there was no bartender at the bar so I'm not really sure what he was talking about) so she asked if she could change her drink order since her original order had not began the process of being made, he said no. The street corn and shrimp cocktail we ordered for the table as appetizers came after our entrées arrived, which I suppose isn't on the waiter but that was still not ideal. My wife had ordered beans to come with her tacos along with the rice that it comes with, when her food arrived there was no beans so she told him she had added beans when she ordered and politely asked if he could bring he some, he said "it comes with rice, you can eat that." He did bring her the beans, but his apathy and ineptitude was almost comically bad. I never received a drink refill, or really saw him again until he came to clear plates and give us the check, and at that point I'd rather just leave than wait for him to go through a Fellowship of the Ring type endeavor to bring me some more iced tea. At any rate, the food was very good, absolutely delicious and I have no complaints. Will I ever go back? No, not if I'm paying or have any say in where the group goes, service matters and there are plenty of other places that have good food, and even average service would have been a huge upgrade to what we experience. read more

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of pictures to provide because I only ordered drinks but every-time I have gone to this establishment the service has been 10/10. I'm always sat quickly and the customer service is wonderful. I'm not sure if the bartenders name but he is great at his job. He always provides me with new recommendations and is super kind! The overall atmosphere of this establishment is super cute! The music is great, not too loud, and the decor is captivating! My favorite drink to get is the pineapple margarita, it's super refreshing and not too sweet. They always provide chips and salsa which always comes out fast as well! Overall, I can't wait to go back! If you do get a chance to come here, I'd recommend checking out the upstairs bar area as well! read more

I visited on a rainy Friday, the 13th while a concert series was being set up outdoors. It didn't take long to receive my drink or food. There were a few other patrons inside. The margarita was tasty with actual strawberries in it. The taco salad lacked lettuce which is why I couldn't finish it. Overall, not a bad experience. read more

This is a cute little Mexican restaurant located in downtown Columbus. Great stop for post night out food on the weekends. Their food is overpriced for the quality but they're a good time read more

Not a lot of places open Sunday night and hard to get a table at the more popular American restaurants we looked at, so my group ended up here for dinner. They have a big menu of "American Mexican", which doesn't have anything really exciting but will have something to please anyone as long as you like Mexican flavours. There are plenty of meat and seafood options, and limited vegetarian options. They brought out complimentary chips and salsa to start. I really liked this salsa, it was simple and fresh. I had "tilapia tampico", grilled tilapia with salsa verde, with side rice, salad, and tortillas. This wasn't anything really special; the salsa verde tasted like basic jarred salsa from the grocery store to me, and the amount of salsa meant that the whole dish was pretty salty, but the fish was cooked and seasoned well and it was a tasty enough meal. Other meals looked similar. I was very hungry and wasn't quite able to finish. If you're not too hungry you could split this into two meals. If you're solely looking to get as much food as possible for your dollar, the fajitas might be the best option, but everything is fair value for a table service restaurant. Our waitress was wonderful. She was very personable and made sure we had everything we needed, even filling up our personal water bottles for us before we left. This would be a good place if you have picky eaters or just want something safe. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for a "great" meal, but if you have limited options like we did, it's perfectly fine. read more

Agave Bar And Grill - Tilapia Tampico - Mexican Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

I wasn't initially impressed but we had a great experience. Menu is online at https://tmt.spotapps.co/contactless-menu?spot_id=96019&images=yes&accordion=true&source=qr_code_flyer&internal_name=survey_01_white I usually get enchiladas when I eat Mexican but there were none on the menu here. Branching out was a blessing however. The menu has meals that I've never seen at any Mexican restaurant. I ended up getting Birrias Quesatacos which is something like a Mexican combination of Monte Christo and French dip sandwiches. It included three tacos with a consome for dipping and a side of rice. It was very good and unique. My wife had the Agave taco salad, which she also reported was excellent. Chips and salsa are also included, which is not always a given at trendy-looking Mexican restaurants. The salsa was on point. Prices vary with entrees ranging from $15 to $30+. There are plenty of options at the lower cost end of the menu. read more

Agave Bar And Grill - Mexican Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Agave is a versatile location nestled in Downtown Columbus. Depending on what you are looking for, you might want to stop by. The food at Agave I would rate a 3/5. It is not anything to write home about, and it is not as authentic as it gets. As for service, there have been times where the service is extremely fast, and other times it is the opposite. It might just depend on the day. One thing I do love about Agave is Latin nights. This is usually Fridays and Saturdays after they have closed, around 11 PM. If you are looking for Latin music( reggeaton, salsa, bachata, etc) this is the place to go! Entrance is $10 and if you are a lady it is free before midnight. Overall, Agave is for sure in my rotation of spots to visit in Columbus. read more

Food and service was excellent. I recently celebrated my birthday and retirement there and we had access to the 2nd floor which could hold at least 100 people comfortably. An amazing experience. The service is a 10/10!!! read more

My friend and I ate at one of the outside tables last night. Adolfo was our server and he was very attentive and polite. I had Arroz con pollo. It is a very tasty dish, served with tortillas and lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. It is not exactly the traditional dish, but I really enjoyed it. It was a very large serving that I took home for leftovers. The entrees were delivered very quickly after we ordered. It was a beautiful night to dine outside. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Amazing food! I went to a different place before going here where the food was not good at all. I loathe hope it finding a good restaurant until I stumbled upon this place! The food was great and the service was even better. read more

Let the record show, the artwork was tasteful and brought out many feelings and thoughts. I ate the tacos and felt pretty (as artwork states). Wait staff was polite after I used the bathroom in front of them. Margaritas were spicy and great but not for the weak of tummy (see bathroom comment earlier^). Chips and queso could be served as a meal it's self and the birria quesatacos were a must have. Will be attending the restaurant again even if only to use the restroom. read more

Great spot for a date night!! They had tasty margaritas and a margarita flight which is fun. Their salsa is very flavorful and the birria quesatacos (can't remember exact name?) were delicious!! Service was very friendly. Food took a little while to come out but it was tasty enough to make up for it. Not sure I would recommend for families/ large groups, but great for couples! read more

Overall, just OK. The design was nice, our waitress was nice, but our food was nothing to write home about. The portion sizes were small and overpriced and my food was near room temperature when I started eating. Unrelated to the food, I witnessed a few distraught customers and some unprofessional communication between two waiters regarding who was responsible for a specific table. The waiters conversed across the table and over the customers while they stood on opposite sides of the table. Additionally, the ladies sitting next to us were there before us and we got our food first (same size party). I could tell they were upset with the service and food. I was avoiding being creepily observant so I didn't notice much else. In conclusion, I won't be going back. I can double the amount of food for less than half the price from La Mexicana and the food tastes better. If I'm going to spend $50 on 2 people for Mexican food again, it better knock my socks off. read more

Agave Bar And Grill - Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Food - The food was good. This was the thing that saved it for us. I'll get more into our experience below. The chips were fresh and the salsas/queso were tasty. There's a smokey salsa that's a little spicy - it was fantastic. Everyone in our party enjoyed their entree. The portion size on the combination was small given the price. Also, you could tell the food was plated and left to wait for too long. This is a timing issue that I hope will sort itself out. Service - They had one guy covering too many tables. It took a while to put in our orders and to get drinks. I don't think it was the waiter's fault. He can't help the fact that he didn't have enough support. Drinks - The mango and strawberry margaritas were weak. The basic margarita was fantastic. Regarding draft beer, they have the pulls behind the bar, but they're not serving yet. They need to get that fixed. I know this place is pretty new, so I hope it's just a matter of time, and letting the kitchen and front of house come together. We will go back. We live close by, so we want a great Mexican restaurant in our rotation. The quality is there, but they need to sort a few things out. We'll check back in a few months, and I'll update my review if things change. read more

I enjoyed a burrito that was enjoying from the first to last bite. Bring an appetite, because it is not small. I left off refried beans and barely finished it. Joseph provides the best service one could hope for at any restaurant. The food came out so fast, and you will need to let if cool due it is steaming hot. The atmosphere is welcoming, kid friendly, and the cocktails are banging so I am told. I was the driver so I did partake. I highly recommend, and will dine here again. read more

First off we had a group of 9 and we had someone in the group try to call in advance and even left a voicemail which there was no call back or acknowledgment of any reservation. So lack of communication was a bit concerning. Fortunately despite our group size we were all accommodated so that was a plus. Keep in mind groups larger than 6 is an automatic 20% gratuity. Some reviews complained about lack of service but we were fortunate that our server was fairly attentive and checked in when he could so no issues from us there. Now there was another server who seemed to have a snooty attitude (but I'll let that slide as he wasn't our direct server). I personally didn't drink but the other ladies in our group did and from their experience they said the drinks were good (apparently the margaritas are really good so I can see myself coming back to go to the bar if anything). Now for the food. I do appreciate that our server did warn me that my burrito would be fairly large and sure enough, it didn't disappoint in size. Overall it was ok. My husband ordered the carnitas to which he said it was good but the price almost made it not worth it (his plate was about half the size of mine and he only got 3 tortillas). For the convenience of being nearby it's a decent Mexican restaurant it's just overpriced. We really can't see ourselves coming back and it's really only because of the price if anything. read more

Agave Bar And Grill - Bandera Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

We visited this restaurant on a busy Saturday night in January 2020. ***Service: Server did check on us several times during the time we waited for the food to arrive. We ate plenty of chips, more than I should have but food took forever to be served. Server was very attentive and accommodating. ****Atmosphere was very pleasant. Decor was charming and music was ok (not load type of latin music). * Food: I came with great expectations to find a type of well seasoned Mexican cuisine. Out of our three dishes we tried, none meet or came close to my expectations. Food was nothing to write home about. In fact, it reminded me the ordinary food you eat at any other Mexican joint in town. Carnitas dish was pricey for the amount and flavor I got. Menu was a bit long and choices seemed to vary in one or two condiments. Overall experience was ok but the prices and quality of food don't match for this part of Uptown Columbus. I might come back after few months when they figure this business out. read more

Came here two times only got pictures during the first first time we came here was during lunch the steak burrito with red sauce and sides with a pink lemonade, and then the white queso appetizer very good food depth of flavor of spice level correctness, and proportions was happy to bring husband here for a second time for dinner Unfortunately dinner was not as appeasing had the dragon fruit margarita all they had was on the rocks when I prefer frozen there was not a lot of liquid even in the margarita there was so much ice he could barely tilt the glass to drink what was in there was good flavors Ordered the big burrito that supposed to come with all the meats and rice and beans on the inside. Unfortunately it was pretty deceiving there was literally only two pieces of shrimp a couple pieces of chicken and maybe a tablespoon of steak inside of the burrito it was 99% rice and beans of major upset. My husband specifically asked for no lettuce inside only the meat, rice and beans and even asked if it would charge more to double the meat instead didn't get a response on that instead the burrito came out and I had the biggest amount of lettuce I've ever seen in a burrito it was absurd, the chips and salsa rockstar would like a little more salsa in the bowl. They're pretty shallow and small and can get eaten pretty quick my Brea tacos I had for dinner hardly had any bread in it and really lacked flavor. read more

We showed up at around 11:07 since they opened at 11 and we were the first guests in. They were all still seated at one table which ironically is the one they sat us at. Chips and red salsa were brought out to us pretty quickly but that didn't offset the fact that it tasted like marinara sauce. We ordered guac and it came as a very decent size with was great for sharing and tasted great!! Our server was very kind and offered us great recommendations. Our food came out pretty quickly and everything tasted amazing! I had the shrimp tacos on corn tortillas (they usually come on flour) and the rice was so yummy! My fiancé enjoyed the agave margarita and for the normal size it was huge! Definitely a bang for your buck and he absolutely loved it. I would definitely recommend this place, just maybe a better first impression and adjusting the salsa would've made it 5 stars. read more

Terrible service in a really cool location. Was charged $20 for two normal beers and ordered a burrito from the bar. It was late, arrived cold and wasn't what I ordered. They forgot about my order and really didn't seem to care. Normal, plain Mexican restaurant that is going to charge you more because you are in downtown Columbus for whatever that means. Don't waste your time. Find another restaurant. read more

Cute decor and tasty food, though the taco salad was very soggy due to the meat needing drained and there was a dead bug in the chips. The biggest issue was that the service was lacking. We called the day prior to make a reservation for a large party and were told it was no problem, only to show up and learn they were very limited on staff. They were not ready for us. Our party of almost 30 had ONE server. Chips were never refilled, though it took so long we were out of chips long before we even ordered. Drinks sat empty all of dinner with only a couple refilled as we were paying to leave. The majority of our party were done eating before the last of the group was even served. A few dishes were incorrect or missing items. I get adding gratuity on for a large party, but an automatic 20% when we were lacking so much? If you can't handle large groups, just be honest when the group calls ahead. read more
