The absolute best! Don't think. Just eat here. You won't regret it. The food and service are top notch. Miri, was extremely attentive and helpful. We actually were kind of blown away by how awesome she was. She was so friendly and accommodating with our silly little questions and special requests. It was as if no modification was a problem even though we fully expected to be told no. I wanted a tamarindo margarita but I was worried about the sugar. She said it was no problem to make it less sweet and it turned out delicious. We sat out on the patio, which was surprisingly lovely given the strip mall location. There was plenty of shade, fun, tasteful decorations and beautiful plants. It wasn't long before our food arrived and needless to say, we were very impressed. Everything was delicious, unique and well balanced. It was a lot of food and I was wishing for a bigger stomach. This was a truly excellent experience we would absolutely repeat if we ever get the chance to return to wine country. read more

Right to the point Service was great. Now, the salsa tasted like spiced tomato sauce. There wasn't an onion or pepper to be found. It was awful. We ordered a side of guacamole. Same as the salsa, overly blended avocados, that's it. My wife ordered a steak fajita salad. She liked it but it had far too many uncooked bell peppers. I love a good Mole. Haven't had one in years and years. But this Mole Negro looked good. A chicken leg quarter covered in Mole. The sauce was delicious but there wasn't any meat on the chicken. It was all bone. I am not exaggerating but I got maybe 5 bites of chicken off the whole thing. The bones that were left were no smaller than when it came to me in the first place. The last time we visited Healdsburg we went to El Milagro, and if you see my review of that, that was fantastic. Go there instead. read more

Agave | Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar - Mural near try bar!! - Mexican Near Me - Healdsburg, California

In the past, Agave has been consistent and prepared only with fresh ingredients. The other evening I decided to treat myself to a Door Dash delivery of a taco salad. First, the dasher didn't read the specific instructions for finding my house. He ended up leaving my order by the garage door.... I love taco salad, and that's what I ordered, al pastor. The shell was stale, the ingredients were sparse, couldn't find the beans that are usually at the bottom. No guac or sour cream. This is SO far from the usual presentation. read more

I have come here several times now, and the latest time was the best. The tortillas were perfect and although I cannot remember what I had, I do remember 1) it didn't make me sick, 2) I did like it (it had mole), 3) it was reasonablly priced, and 4) the server was one of the nicest servers I've ever encountered in my life. I will come back just for the service. read more

We came here for a light lunch before a wine event with small bites, as we didn't want to arrive too hungry. We shared the grilled chicken avocado salad which was the perfect amount of very flavorful food! Service was friendly and quick. It was a warm environment with several regulars at the bar, who the staff knew by name. read more

Without question the worst chile relleno I have ever eaten and the vegetable bowl was almost as bad.

My chili relleno with mole sauce excellent only reason it's not a five rice you skimped on black beans were excellent Poland could have been bigger but food excellent in taste watermelon water was excellent our server was ok. read more

The food, the service, the ambiance... everything was wonderful. I have struggled to find a dine in Mexican restaurant that I enjoyed this much. I appreciated that they kept it spicy ! I wish I took a photo of my drink. I believe it was the Don Juan. It was superb. Our waiter spoke so highly of their special at the time, chicken empanadas, even going out of her way to show us photos of it on her phone. They did not disappoint! Everyone in my family is still thinking about them.... can't wait to go back. read more

A group of us went there on a Saturday evening. The place looks nice and bright with lots of colors. It was clean and had a great atmosphere. We were greeted promptly. First, the service was outstanding, and everyone represented the restaurant well. I ordered a chilli relleno, and my wife split a chicken chimichanga with other members of our party. The order came out quickly, and the presentation was great. The chimichanga was very good, but my chili relleno was okay. The pepper was too firm, and it lacked any real flavor. The beans and rice were lukewarm but had good flavor. The prices were reasonable, and the overall experience was good. I would eat there again, but I would not make a special trip to go there again. You have to like molle sauce, and I do, otherwise you will not like the chili relleno. They let you know when you order, and it has a good flavor. The people who work there are five-star! read more

Went for lunch with a friend and we sat out on the patio. We knew what we wanted and ordered inside and then grabbed a table. We ordered steak quesadilla and chicken taquitos to share and a Diet Pepsi each. The steak was underwhelming bland and the chicken was overly minced chicken that gave cat food consistency and was also super bland. We both finished our drink while we were eating and never received or asked if we wanted a refill. Wouldn't return. read more

Agave is hands down one of my favorite spots in Healdsburg, but what truly makes every visit special is Maricela. She is an absolute rockstar! No matter how busy the restaurant gets, she handles everything with a friendly smile and incredible attention to detail. She is clearly a very hard worker and always has the best suggestions if you're looking to try something new. If you go, definitely ask for her--she makes an already great meal an amazing experience! read more

Lovely service which is rare these days. Great food. Very enjoyable experience. Highly recommend! Loved the Agave salad

Food and service were both great. My mom who is a cook is very hard to please, but she left very happy.

I really enjoyed Agave. Service was awesome. They were very attentive and it seem like everyone worked together to make the customers experience as best as possible. Food was good. I really enjoyed their fish ceviche and the molcajete. I expected the molcajete to be the bigger portion usually served at other places but the price was fair for what we got. I'd say it's good for 2 people. Cadillac margaritas were good and stiff. Micheladas were okay. I liked the Mexican theme and they had really cool decorations. They have a patio for outdoor dining. There was plenty of parking out front as they are in a shopping center. read more

A very solid 4 stars! We were going to be in the area and had a Mexican craving, so to the trusty Yelp machine I went, and it delivered in spades! Great atmosphere, warm service, with fresh ingredients in the food and drinks is a winning combo every time, and I can't wait to go back again when we're nearby. Fresh chips are served with two mild salsas. I tried the prickly pear mezcal cocktail and the enmoladas mole entree -- their version of an enchilada. Taylor had a giant burrito, and I think the only thing that could've taken it to the next level would have been served "wet style" like he usually does. read more

We came up from the City over Thanksgiving weekend for a little getaway and decided to switch things up last minute. We canceled our original reservation at a spot we'd been to before and chose Agave instead--and we're so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, the service was incredible: warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Every dish we ordered was delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. You can tell the team here takes pride in what they do. We'll definitely be returning the next time we're in town. And for the record--our corgi was absolutely in love with the food too. Highly recommend! read more

We were in the area for lunch, and decided to come to Agave. Fairly empty on a weekend, so we got seated right away. Service was really friendly! They start you out with some free chips and salsa, and they were great. Super crisp, and taste fresh. Free refills as well. I got the mole, and it was good! Rich in flavor, and the chicken was super tender and moist. The mole was a bit sweeter than I would have wanted, but overall was great. We also got the steak ranchero, and it was great. Steak was tender, lots of well seasoned veggies, and overall delicious. Definitely a great spot to stop by for a lunch visit! read more

I was passing by Healdsburg on a Thursday afternoon and stopped in town at Agave for lunch. Located in a bustling shopping center, Agave was a cool refuge from the blasting summer heat outside. The restaurant had a casual, relaxed vibe; a couple tables had friends chatting over chips, food, and drinks. The waitress sat me down at a table and soon brought me chips on the house to start. I ordered camarones a la diabla. "It's spicy, is that okay?" the waitress said. I told her, "Yes." The food soon arrived steaming hot, so I continued to make my way through the chips and salsa while my entree cooled. The chips were crunchy and lightly salted, and I liked the contrasts between the smoky red salsa and the zesty green salsa. Finally, I was eager to dig into my lunch. I packed some shrimp, vegetables, rice, and beans onto a flour tortilla and took a bite. True to its name, the camarones a la diabla packed heat! Fires tore through my mouth and danced on my tongue. The shrimp was juicy, and the bell peppers soft. The chili pepper added smoky overtones and flourishes. I was glad for the soothing rice and beans to balance out the heat. I took my time and appreciated each bite. This was a delicious bit of Oaxacan cuisine, and I enjoyed the food which was prepared with deft, finesse, and of course, love. read more

Hello. My name is Angel and I purchased food from your restaurant this morning. I got a super burrito, kids quesadilla, steak quesadilla, and side of rice. The burrito was delicious as always, but I was so upset to have paid $52 in total and my daughter quesadilla had blue marker on the tortilla, the rice tastes like coffee. I don't know if your storing rice in an old coffee bin but it taste like pure coffee. The steak was old and it was poor quality. It's disappointing coming from a Restaraunt I've seen featured on social media. read more

My friend and I were hungry after getting our nails done. Agave is located in the shopping center where we got our nails done. So it was convenient. I'm glad we stopped in. The food was delicious. The service was great. It was a hot day and there was no air-conditioning that afternoon so we were super hot. I'm sure if it was a cooler day or the AC was working that might have created a more comfortable ambiance. There is plenty of parking. read more

Two words for this place - DELISH AND DIVINE! Wow! Came here on my first night in Healdsburg and ordered the nachos with steak and chicken, guac, camarones a la diabla, and the steak/chicken fajitas and everything was PHENOMENAL! Not to mention the amazing service from Hector and the team. Incredible, and dare I say... the best Mexican food we've had since moving to SF 6 months ago! Can't wait to come back! read more

Calling themselves "The Best Oaxacan Cuisine in Sonoma County", they certainly set themselves apart from the many other typical Mexican restaurants and taco trucks. Located in a strip mall near Safeway with a view of the parking lot about 3 blocks west of the Plaza, they have a cute outdoor patio with umbrellas and plants and indoors features a new redwood bar. We choose to sit outside since it was cooler than inside on a summer night (only fans inside). Service was fast and friendly. The complimentary homemade chips with red and green salsa were a nice touch. We got the house margarita which had a rim of flavored spices and packed a kick. I ordered the Enmoladas, the closest to a chicken enchilada. It came with two tortillas filled with braised chicken topped with Mole de Oaxaca (sweet mole sauce), queso fresco, black beans, rice ($19). It was really great, tender and mouth watering, similar to other Oaxacan I've had in SoCal. Husband had the Camarones a la Diabla, which were large prawns in housemade diabla sauce, onions, bell peppers, rice, black beans, and tortillas ($21). He said they were pretty good but wasn't wowed by them. We were hurrying to a show at Coyote Sonoma across the street so didn't have time to hang out, but the restaurant was packed and many people were lingering and having a great time. The chef is well known in the area for his creative dishes and it showed. We will be back! read more

Everything here was amazing! Two years in a row we have ventured to Healdsburg for an Autumn excursion. My brother and his wife from Orange County and me, from Dallas. This restaurant is in a Safeway shopping center and is unassuming. We stopped in last year after a long drive from OC and decided to take a chance. Well it turned out to be our favorite restaurant in the valley! The people working here must be well taken care of by the owners, as they're all so friendly and nice. This year we had Stephanie for our server and bartender as well. She is an absolute treasure! You would think that she owned the place, the way she raved about the food and cocktails. We took her suggestions on ordering and loved each and every thing we ordered! She even gave us a lot of information about Mezcal, as none of us were familiar with it. They have several margaritas with Mezcal rather than tequila. We tried one and it was very very good! We loved Stephanie SO much that we told her we would come back another night before we left, just to see her and get our "fix" of Agave's food before leaving for home. Their Mole sauce is amazing and they sell it in jars in the restaurant. I regret not getting a few, and next time I will definitely bring some home. Nothing negative to say whatsoever about Agave. If you are in the Sonoma Valley, you just have to come in. If you're lucky, Stephanie will be serving you! You can't miss her...she's the one with the sparkling eyes and beautiful smile! read more

Authentic Oazacan cuisine in an outdoor shopping plaza experience, Agave puts affordable dining in the heart of wine country in the Dry Creek Valley on notice! Located in the Vineyard Shopping Center in Healdsburg, California, which itself is a posh town located in the heart of Sonoma County's wine country, Agave has been a fixture of Healdsburg's dining scene for over fourteen years, thanks to the entrepreneurship of owner and chef Octavio Diaz. Diaz, along with his brother Pedro also owns the Casa de Mole taqueria, has really brought the mole to the masses so we can say, so much so they actually sell it by the sixteen ounce jar to customers. What brought a friend and I here was the fact that after an afternoon of wine tasting we were looking for a nice food respite in wine country that wasn't going to break the bank. After looking for Mexican Food under my trusty app, what would be the first thing to pop-up but Agave. After taking a glance at their menu, we saw that prices were affordable and their entrées were varied enough for an enjoyable meal. Being able to dine in their front patio was another plus, as the day was warm but not too overbearing. The menu at Agave is separated into categories including Botanas or Appetizers, Del Mar or Seafood entrées, Platos Features Tradicionals or strong traditional plates, Bowl or Burrito, Ensaladas, Sides and Drinks, which included an extensive cocktail menu. We began with their cocktails, and I ordered the Vintner's Favorite which featured watermelon, strawberry thyme syrup, chile ancho liquor, citrus, and 400 conejos mezcal. My friend ordered their Vamos which consisted of cantaloupe puree, habanero shrub, fresh grapefruit juice, orange bitters, citrus, and 400 conejos mezcal. To start our meal they offered multiple rounds of complimentary tortilla chips, served with a multitude of dipping sauces, including verde, rojo, and an orange dipping sauce that was super spicy on the tongue. We opted to add their Guacamole to our order as it was made with fresh avocado, onion, cilantro, and fresh lime and radishes. And for our entrée neither of us were very hungry so we opted to split their Diego's Burrito which featured their famous pastor, BBQ pork which is prepared in house on a daily basis, grilled onions and peppers, mushrooms, potatoes, sour cream, avocado, and melted Monterey jack cheese. It wouldn't take too long for our Guacamole to be brought out first, which was so rich with flavor that when paired with their tortilla chips was a meal unto itself. And then our Diego's Burrito was served, split into two plates, and presented with such artisanal flair that even the green onion garnish that was served as garnish was grilled. I made sure to put both the rojo and verde sauces on top of my burrito so that when dined elegantly with a knife and fork, I could not be stopped. Ironically, our cocktails came out as the final portion of our meal, and the smokey taste of mezcal came through with every sip. Our total bill came to $57.76 which was reasonable considering how much food and cocktails we were able to enjoy on this one visit. We both had enough food to take home, so they were nice enough to give us an extra serving of tortilla chips and dipping sauces with our takeout boxes, which in this day and age is going above and beyond our expectations of what we are to leave home with. A return visit is a must to Agave, with plenty of parking, great service provided by our server Hector, and most importantly delicious authentic Oaxacan cuisine that many in wine country cannot find, it's a win-win or ganar-ganar situation for all involved! read more

(7/19/25) Found this restaurant by accident. Warn and inviting interior. Bar is well stocked and looks clean. Greeted immediately by the bartenders behind the bar. Ordered chips and salsa and guacamole. Green and red salsa came with the order. Both were full of flavor and great tolerable spice. Guacamole was delicious and also full of flavor. Cocktails were wonderful. Mateo and Diego took care of my wife and made her birthday extremely special. Tried the signature featured reposado tequila (Tonino Lamborghini) IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Served authentically and immersed in culture. Highly recommend this place. The quality of ingredients paired with the passion for the craft was refreshing and made for a pleasant and memorable experience. read more

Great food at great price, we stop here for quick bite to eat and because I had heard really good things about these Latino restaurant and let me tell my friends these place has delicious food at a reasonable price. We were greeted right away the ambiance was perfect not to quiet not too loud, were told we could sit anywhere we liked and obviously we choose to sit in the front patio to enjoy the evening. For the food we decided to go with the Molcajete which has enough food for two and for drinks I went with the Agua fresca de Jamaica. The molcajete came with either flour or corn tortillas. This was the perfect serving for two and we didn't even finish our food and had left overs. Do come and give these restaurant a try my friends. This place is a casual dress place lots of tourists as well as locals come here ambiance not loud just overage. Food is quite authentic Mexican Cuisine. 5 stars for these restaurant my friends you won't regret coming here. read more
