I'm really not the one to give a 1 star review but I had to. I came in to agave for Valentine's Day with my lady and we had a reservation which first off we weren't on the list but got seated anyways. We were then told which I believe should've been the owner or manager we had to move to a different table and he'll give us a free margarita on the house. Our waiter arrived to wipe down the table because the table we were changed to was dirty and we put in a order for drinks and a appetizer and asked if she can come back in 5 minutes to take our main dish order. It took over 20 minutes to get our drink and our waiter quickly rushed away and this was the last interaction we had and got checked up on from this point. Keep in mind we got seated at 8:15 PM and we got our drinks around 8:45. From this point no one came up to us to put in our entree order and me and my date were starving and our waiter was serving others around us but was completely ignoring us and rushing away. Finally after 9:30 PM after more than 1 hour of not receiving our appetizer we put or nor our waiter putting in our main dish I asked for the check for the 2 drinks I ordered and left. Never have I ever gotten up from a restaurant table and left because of bad service and I been here at this spot couple times and even on holidays and never received this treatment. The manager then gave us complimentary appetizer and dessert but at this point I wanted to leave and did not even touch it. I shouldn't have to complain and ask for my check for you guys to finally give what I wanted. On top of that we never got the free drinks we were promised. Thanks agave for messing up my valentines date night, we ended up eating Wendy's 10 piece chicken nuggets and fries that were given to us in 2 minutes. read more

Service gets worse and worse everytime you go it's embarrassing. Food is still very good but there are about 4 other places within a mile that have food just as good and 10x better service. read more

PROS: the staff was friendly, food was good, atmosphere was pretty, and they had a parking lot. Menu variety was plentiful and prices were nice CONS: it's a bit small compared to the other agave. Only had one person bathrooms OVERALL: great place, and I highly recommend coming. Just be aware it isn't that big read more

Truly disappointed. Went there tonight for Taco Tuesday and it wasn't worth the wait nor the frustration. The orders took forever to come out and they even forgot my husband food. No one came to check on us. We asked the bartender to assist us since there was only 1 waitress. We finished few our tacos & no one noticed he never got his food. Then the waitress bring us a cold forgotten order from the kitchen and asks us if we want it wrapped up. No we don't! Taco Tuesday was a disaster. The drinks were a 6 out of 10. They are really short staff (1person in the kitchen is not ok) & management needs to do better. Sad to say I won't come back & I'm a local from Wallington : ( read more

Agave Cocina Mexicana - The piña colada taste like cream only. The regular lemonade I ordered cost $13:fancy for no reason & the house drink I would rate a 5. - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Wallington, New Jersey

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Agave Cocina Mexicana - My drink - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Wallington, New Jersey

We made a reservation for 20 people on a Saturday night. They were able to accommodate us for our friend's birthday dinner. We show up and pull into the lot, only for the valet to wave us away without speaking to us. We had to park 4 blocks away. Service was extremely slow and our table ordered drinks early, only to get a weird look, but the drinks took forever! I really don't like that there's no pricing for the alcohol on the menu. Some people in the party said their food was good. A lot of us found the food to be very bland. I had the salmon avocado salad. While it was well dressed, it was the same stringy lettuce they use for garnish. For $25, that is unacceptable. The bathrooms are disgusting. Women were complaining that the toilets were clogged and it took 3 flushes to go down. Their happy birthday song consists of horrific plastic whistle, sparklers and a sad clapping song. This is a new layer of hell. I felt like I needed to escape. This was a very frustrating and lackluster experience. I wouldn't make the trip back or recommend this place to a friend. read more

Have been for both indoor seating and pick up.. the food is good but I've had better Mexican food. The service are Mexicans who don't speak a lot of English and sometimes get the order wrong. I have to believe the food is made to order as it took awhile to get my pick up order and only one table was present at the time The place is small but charming. read more

Our "go-to" mexican spot in NJ! Agave Cocina Mexicana has become our "go-to" mexican restaurant in NJ! We have already been here numerous times and I must say all have been an excellent experience!

Onto what we have had and I highly recommend each one: Food: - Salmon Tacos: Grilled salmon w/chipotle dip topped with cabbage, avocado @pico de gallo - Chicken Fajitas: Sautéed peppers, zucchini, onion, & mushroom served with rice, beans, guac, pico de gallo, sour cream & flour tortilla - Salmon Avocado Salad: Tequila lime salmon with avocado, pico de gallo on lettuce Drinks: Frozen Mango / Classic Margaritas What is so great about the food, is that not only is very tasty, but you can tell that all ingredients are fresh!

This place is fantastic!! Looks small, but inside is big. Has a front area, bar area and back area. They have parking, but that is tight and most nights it's valet. There is side street parking, which I would suggest. Good is phenomenal and the take out is just as good as dine in. I had ordered in and the service was great. Margaritas were great. Looking forward to trying a margarita flight in the near future. Had the steak burrito for dine in and loved it. Enjoyed it so much I ordered it for take out that other day. It was amazing. The take out burrito came with beans, rice and sauces. They even included napkins and cutlery which is a huge plus! My new go to Mexican food place! 10/10 recommend! read more

If I could give this 4.5 stars, I would. Four of us met for a late lunch at the Queen Anne restaurant the day before Thanksgiving. It was my second time there, having visited once for happy hour and tapas. This was our first full meal, and we were happy we choose this inviting place. The restaurant wasn't very busy, but often is, and should be. All of the staff were very attentive, pleasant and professional. I started with the Mescal Manhattan, a brand new drink for me. It was smokey and muy fuerte!. For food, we started with the chips and salsa, which came with two salsas, a traditional red and a hot hot green. Both were very good. The green was too hot for my parents, leaving more for my wife and me. The menu, even for lunch, has a lot of great choices. I selected the empanadas. The plate came with two very well cooked and seasoned empanadas -- mildly spiced -- a creamy roasted corn (which I loved) and a nice poblano-lime cream, queso fresco, pickled red onion. During the meal, I switched to a Negra Modelo, on tap, which was perfect for the food. Everyone at the table ordered something different from the others, and all were happy. read more

This place was perfect for a celebration brunch! The music was soooo on point, I was dancing in my chair all morning! haha One could argue the music was too loud and could barely have conversation without shouting....however this is the option we chose. The section in front of the restaurant is quieter. Food was great, as were the drinks! My friend got the margarita flight which was cute but some of the drinks were on the sweeter side. I got a classic margarita with casa amigos blanco - loved it! Perfectly made. They have a variety of fun drink options, including patron flights which was very tempting. Food was yummy, and brought out quickly. Service was friendly and attentive as well. Overall, perfect place for party brunch vibes! Can't wait to come by again! read more

The girls and I got together for brunch here. I called to get information and found out they don't do reservations for small parties. When I arrived I seen they had valet but decided to park myself. I walked into music blazing and a cute restaurant. I found my frriends in the back room where the DJ was. Monica and Lauren were our servers and they were nice. They had $5 mimosas and sangrias. I started with the sangria and it wasn't bad. I wanted the $5 wine that was on the menu but they said that wasn't included so I had the mimosa next and that wasn't bad. Now it was time for the entrée. I ordered the fish tacos with rice and beans. The food came out and looked good. I dug in and it was good. The music was blazing, the service was good and the food wasn't bad at all and it was affordable. We had a good time. read more

Visited this restaraunt with a group of about 7/8. We were seated in the back at a long table. We were the only people in the back. We were given guac and chips and informed that the heat in the back was down. We saw a heater by our table and asked the waitress to turn it on for us because it was cold. We ordered drinks and tried to warm up but it wasn't happening. There was a draft entering from the door that was right next to our table. A waitress and (who I think is) the owner came over to us and told us they would clear a table for us once one large enough was available in the front. Although this was not ideal they did an amazing job making up for it with their service. They brought us guac and chips and took our orders. They moved us to the front quickly once the table left. They brought us shots on the house and apologized to us again. The food was good and the margaritas are great! I had two coconut margaritas which were very well made. The atmosphere here is good for a casual dinner date or to meet with a group of friends. The owner informed us that they have a dj on the weekends and bottomless brunch in the back. Reservations are needed. I would like to return and try their brunch. read more

Great authentic Mexican restaurant near MetLife Stadium (10 minutes drive). It has a trendy ambiance with murals and neon signs. We ordered the birria taco and chicken enchilada with the verde sauce - good portion size and very flavorful. For cocktails, we ordered 2 mezcal based drinks because we love the smoky flavor. The presentation was pretty cool - involved a torch. Note, a 20% gratuity is added to all checks and a service fee is also applied. Found this to be a turn off. read more

Used to love this place but I was here the other day and ran into 2 issues. 1. Their diet coke was awful and the fact they served it to me and called it Diet Coke is absolutely outrageous. 2. I ordered a burrito bowl and in the description of the burrito bowl it includes sour cream. when I got my food there was no sour cream so I asked them for sour cream. when we got the bill there was a charge on there for sour cream. which is outrageous. if you are going to charge me for sour cream, that's fine but do NOT have it in the description of what I am ordering then. I will not be going back here for a while. What a shame. read more

I've been to Agave Cocina two times and both experiences were great! They have happy hour from 12-6 and their margaritas are good (and strong)! I ordered the chicken tacos and my boyfriend ordered chicken enchiladas and we were stuffed. I had an option to add on guac, sour cream, rice and beans to my meal which didn't cost too much and was a great addition. It's valet parking but there's plenty of street parking available. read more

Otherwise, would definitely recommend this spot!! read more

We came here specifically for the weekday happy hour. We sat outside and decided to order from the happy hour drink menu. I asked the server what flavors of margarita are available as part of the Happy Hour, she gave us a couple of options(she conveyed Mongo and Hibiscus are offered as part of HH), and we decided to order Mango and Hibiscus margarita. The drinks were good, but this is why the place gets 2 stars, when the bill came out, the drinks were charged as full price($12) vs the happy hour price($5). When we asked our server, why are we being charged full price....she said, there are only 2-3 flavors available for Happy Hour, and the rest are full price. We actually felt cheated, as she told us that all flavors are available in HH. Instead of apologizing, she made it sound like it was our mistake. We didn't argue and this is not about few extra dollars but doing business ethically so pretty bummed about the whole situation. On the positive side, my $12 margarita was good, but I can't comment on HH menu drinks, as we never got a chance to try them :( read more

Small parking area. Inside there two areas, lovely decor. I really liked the music they were playing, the place has a lounge vibe type. We got there around 4:30pm, there was only three tables and the waiter took forever to come our table, even helped the table that came after us before us. We finally got to place our order, calamari was a nice light appetizer. Molcajete ($40) was a good sharing meal. And the fish tacos were good too. Ordered the margarita flight which is a great way to try different margarita flavors. The mango margarita was my favorite flavor. The sangria drink were really good. Again waited awhile to get a refill of water and the the check too. The only con about this restaurant is the service is slacking. read more

Came here to catch up with a friend over dinner and we were extremely pleased with our experience! The margaritas tasted great, the food was fantastic, music was amazing and overall we had a great time. The chips and salsa were ready to go when we got there and I love me some homemade salsa so I kept asking for more. The margarita flight was super tasty. If I went back I'd probably just get myself a passion fruit margarita which was BOMB. We got the molcajete which had a variety of grilled meats with quest fundido, rice, beans and tortillas. It was super filling for 2 people and all the food was great. I personally like the steak and chicken best but everything in it (steak, chicken, beef, pork, sausage, shrimp) was delicious and we demolished it. It was also super affordable for what you're getting. Better than other places with mixed grills. Our servers were very attentive and polite. The music was great without being obnoxiously loud. Overall, loved this place. Will definitely be back. read more

Agave is small and packed with energy! The music is loud, there are many celebrations at tables, and sports on the tv at the bars. I went on a Saturday night. I wanted to get drinks and appetizers and just chill. My mistake was not making a reservation. Be sure to make a reservation, otherwise you'll have a very long wait. By the time I was seated it was after 10:30 & I was so tired! I got the margarita flight, which was ok. I wouldn't get that again. I also got the empanadas which were huge!! They tasted so good! Items were reasonably priced & honestly I'd like to go back earlier/with a reservation to really enjoy it. Try it out. read more

My daughter wanted to try Agave based on the Tequila flights so off we went for a Tuesday lunch. The place has a cute bar area and will have outdoor seating. The service was good. Drinks Tequila flight-excellent Appetizer Avocado stuffed with chilled shrimp, crab meat, red pepper, celery, and mayo lime dip. That's the description, however, it was imitation crab and baby shrimp. The dressing was tasty but a disappointment due to the inferior ingredients. Entrees Vegetarian tacos- my daughter did not like them Chicken enchiladas- they were decent, the green sauce was good, the chicken had a strange texture. It seems the drinks are very good and the food has its hits and misses. read more

Update: Came back to the place a year later and it was blah. It's always sooo packed you can never get a table here. Hour long waits. My family of 6 were separated as a party of 4 and 2 truthfully for no reason because I'm eyesight was a table for 6 that was never occupied during my time at the restaurant. They did eventually try to offer a table to fit us all on the back side of the restaurant but everybody was settled in by then. Ordered chicken chimichangas. Just awful. I must have been super hungry last time I came here because whew never again. The chimis are still huge af but 1) I thought I remembered a cheese sauce on it...nope 2) it's literally stuffed with a pound of rice and black beans with very little meat AND you get a side of the SAME rice and beans. Way too much unseasoned ride and beans. 3) The chicken was super dry. read more

Of course I saw it on Tik Tok so I had to make a trip here. Came with friends for a late lunch and we were the only ones there then the place started getting slightly busier around 3. We were seated right away, they also took our temperatures on our wrists. It's definitely a small space with some additional seating in the back. There's also a little parking lot that I can imagine gets very full on weekends or even for dinner so plan for that if you're visiting during a busy time. The interior was super cute, nicely decorated. The bar was the hot spot - skull mugs for drinks, huge margarita glasses, everything that's colorful and beautiful was here. We got some crunchy delicious chips and a mild salsa for dipping for the table. We also decided on a margarita flight to share. For $20 it's not bad, you get two try 4 of their delicious margaritas. Honestly for nothing else - come for the drinks!! Their drink menu is extensive and each one I read sounded better than the last. My favorite margarita was the guava - so light and refreshing. Their original marg packs a lot of liquor so watch out for that one. I decided on chicken tostadas for my meal and my friends both got quesadillas, one chicken and one beef. My tostadas were good - piled high with fresh toppings. I liked them, my friends also loved their quesadillas. They were perfectly grilled and stuffed with tons of meat and cheese. This place has more of a Tex mix kind of vibe for me with the food but it's still delicious. It's the perfect place for lunch, I really enjoyed the drinks. They're fun, flavorful and have a fantastic Mexican twist to them! I would come back and try more dinner items because those seemed to be a little more authentic. I can definitely see myself coming back. read more

Nice little place. Waited about an hour on a Sunday at 12:45 (was seated at 1:35). Service was good, everyone was friendly. They have a small brunch menu which was nice and reasonable, along wit the regular menu. Margaritas were delicious... had 2. Mojitos were just as good. Tried the nachos with the pork. Pretty good but wasn't a fan of the pork chunks. Flautas were very good. Comes with rice and beans, as well as the enchilada. Atmosphere was great with good music. Would definitely go back.
