First off as a native Texan visiting I always like to try out other states Mexican food. Let me say, this did not disappoint. The chips were crunchy and were perfect for dipping, the margs were chefs kiss, the tacos were outstanding and the empanadas were delectable. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting or who lives in the Seattle area. We will certainly be back! read more

The place was a nice and had good service. I had the chips were were not anything good for a Mexican restaurant. I ordered the chicken burrito something you'd think it would be an easy to make but it was only okay it lacked flavor and was a lot more rice and beans than protein read more

Fantastic happy hour, solid ambiance and overall good food. I recommend the breakfast, the fajitas for any meal of the day and the free chips and salsa are solid. Beware of the green salsa, it's pretty hot and in the words of Bryan Cranston in Godzilla "it's going to send us back to the Stone Age". Side note, Margarita Monday rules here. read more

Agave - Happy hour, that chorizo jalapeño queso might change your life - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

No Covid protocol enforcement, surly service, not informed of the automatic gratuity, either verbally or on the super disgusting food stained menu I was given at the bar. That still hasn't been wiped down. Yuck. I won't be back. read more

Had an awesome presentation on tequila tasting from Frederico. He's obviously very passionate about the restaurant and it showed. Took constructive criticism well. Seems like a very humble man! I haven't had tequila since I was in college and boy do I have bad memories. I never thought nor wanted to revisit that. From what I can remember it involved bad tequila, lots of shots and blacking out on the toilet. Any who, I felt so educated on the various types of tequila after the presentation. It was like sampling fine wine because there's such a huge variety! It was nothing like those college days of drinking cheap tequila shots. If you want to give it a whirl, check out their tequila tastings! They have happy hour! The restaurant itself has a lot of beautiful features. Totally dug the vibe. Will have to go back for another dining experience to assess the food properly. There's parking in the building and I believe the first hour is validated by the restaurant. read more

Great service! Amanda was attentive, helpful & sweet! Food was flavorful and plentiful. Really wanted dessert but just too full. I'm a vegetarian and had a modification request for my spinach burrito that was pleasantly & easily handled. My husband really enjoyed his braised carnitas tacos (he's not easily impressed) and said he'd definitely come back! read more

Excellent service and very tasty Mexican food. The staff was super friendly and helpful, lots to like about this place. Great location with a great view of the Space Needle. The menú has a good variety with good quality ingredients. I think it's always the atención to detail that truly reveals the amount of love and pride that's put in to the food. We had for Appetizers: Bacon wrapped Jalapeños Mezcal Pan seared Scallops Entrees: Chipotle cream seafood Enchiladas Flat Iron Steak salad (cooked perfectly) Cocktails: Wild hibiscus Mezcal French Fusion Seasonal infused Margarita Fresh lime jalapeño cilantro margarita Everything was super Delicious Can't be happier!! I love their salsas, The red salsa had a nice roasted flavor, But I ABSOLUTELY LOVE their Verde (green) salsa it has a bit of heat to it. The Atmosphere it's fantastic which goes to show they really want to give everyone a great dining experience. I will definitely be back, Service was Excellent!!! read more

3 stars for food and 0 for service/management. I came in for dinner recently and first, it took forever to get sat. That's fine, it looked busy. So we're finally seated but never greeted by a server even though it seemed like other servers/manager were just floating around. If our server is busy whatever but someone should greet. Finally got our order taken and food comes out pretty slow. The food is fine but nothing out of the ordinary. Our check had to be dropped off by someone else after trying to flag down literally anyone and we were in a time crunch. Do not recommend if you enjoy a friendly atmosphere or timely service. Wanted to speak to a manager but seems like he was just too busy watching the sports game read more

Absolutely one of my favorite Mexican style restaurants in the entire city! The food is incredible and the margaritas are some of THE best I have ever had. The restaurant is clean and the staff is super nice! I highly recommend the nachos and honestly any of their margs, especially the spicy ones they have! read more

Amazing food!! I loved what I got! (cheese dip, hot salsa, and chicken quesadilla). Service was super great got refills asap!! With every penny! Nicely decorated, great location, and great vibes!! read more

Great find while in Seattle. Highly recommend the chicken quesadilla and cheese dip. Service was spot on.

Food was absolutely amazing! Ordered a chicken burrito and margarita. The guacamole that came with it was so fresh and great! The atmosphere was fun too. Lots of people but the restaurant had a great playlist. Our server was amazing as well! Shoutout to Rosanova! Great customer service. Will definitely be returning. read more

These guys are slimy on their misrepresentation that they have a "Happy Hour". In fact THEY DO NOT! I have recently been to BOTH locations for "Happy Hour", and was informed by the wait staff that Agave no longer has a "Happy Hour" even though their own website still references happy hour. Seriously, fix that! read more

The food is gross and the service is terrible. I could stop there but that wouldn't be fair to the restaurant. I've never been to a Mexican restaurant where my mouth was actually offended by the taste of my meal. The nacho appetizer was bland - so bland that salt wouldn't even help. My short rib tacos tasted like stringy mush and I couldn't even flag down anyone to bring hot sauce. We waited 20 minutes before we had the opportunity to give our drink order and didn't even see our waitress after we finished our food. The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is that my son's fries were good. Won't be going back- there are too many other amazing restaurants in the area. read more

I have been here several times since my first visit and the team here has really worked hard to improve their craft. I'm happy to say that I have been here for a tequila tasting event (perfecto!) and have tried many more menu items, including the tacos (delish!) and specialty drinks. I'm impressed at how the owners and staff have taken steps to make this restaurant all that it can be! It is my go-to Mexican restaurant whenever i'm in the western downtown area. read more

Restaurant was closed on 11/29 despite the fact that their website told they are open 7 days a week.

Entree: The best seafood enchiladas I have ever eaten. First time having blue corn tortillas and they were amazing! The shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection. I chose the jicama slaw on the side and all I hate to say is WOW! The vegetables were finely shredded and the dressing was Delish! I took a bite of my partner's chilaquiles and they were crunchy, rich with a kick. Drink: after looking the menu and their fb page, I decided to try the jalapeño margarita. Even though I can't handle spicy stuff, the drink was perfect. I could taste the cilantro and the jalapeño but they were not overwhelming, and the salt and chili powder on the rim were tasty as well. This drink was so good that I had 2 lol. The facility is very nice and the decor was rustic/modern. I loved the light fixtures and the water fountain in the middle of the dining room was definitely a nice touch. Overall, I had a great experience and the staff very attentive. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

Some places just had everything right Agave is such a place for me. First off I came here for the B-52.it seems to be an east coast thing. I can find it in CPK and Chevys and some chain mexican places. But it's a pleasant surprise to see it here :) My server/ bartender is awesome! Super attentive and warm. And he remembers everything I asked for They have also both lunch and brunch available which I found it realy smart - if you have the ingredients available. sell it! From the lunch menu I got the cauliflower salad - loved the pickled onion in it, side of garlic spinach which was not so greasy yet well seasoned. Cactus salad with corns and onions Normally cactus are hard to cook without being slimy or salty but this place makes it well and flavorful read more

The food here is SO GOOD! The happy hour is such a deal. We love to go here before the Storms game and get beer and nachos. Also the tacos are fabulous and the stuffed jalapenos. Ive had a few of their margaritas, which are yummy, but the best deal is on the beer. Be aware that it gets busy, and fills up fast. Do not take up a table for 4 for your party of 2, you will be asked to move. read more

Agave - This place has great HH and food! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was a bit skeptical of a place that looked this nice and served Mexican. In general, I've noticed that there is this here yin-yang effect not only in life but with restaurants. Beautiful restaurants (at mid-level pricing) often lack something -- service, food quality, you name it. This place had a nice ambiance, above the pack (well, unless you typically only go to squeaky clean places... I don't), but mid-range service and food. My co-eater got the beet tacos and got two street tacos (for about $14 if I remember correctly). First of all, those are some expensive street tacos no matter where you go. Second of all, he said they tasted like canned beets. I have a hard time believing that a restaurant would use canned beets, but if they did, SHAME ON THEM. Looking at the pictures my fellow Yelpers have posted, I knew the tacos were a bad idea if I wanted some volume to fill my tummy, so I went for the burrito. The guac that was served with it was excellent, and the sour cream, though more solid like what you buy in the store, tasted Mexican. So, points for that. But the burrito itself was mostly rice, then beans, then the meat, and the flavor was pretty unexceptional. Bottom line: If you're hungry, don't order tacos. If you like beets, don't order the beet tacos. If you like burritos no matter what, no matter what you'll like this burrito. Great ambiance. Good service. read more

Not a bad place but nothing special either. I liked the burrito and would order it again if I was in the area but wouldn't seek this place out. read more

Never been here and hoping this isn't the norm for the place. But the service was extremely slow and the food was sub par/burnt/soggy. All around would not recommend, there's is better food around the corner. read more

Really liked this place I ordered guac as a starter and Steak Carne asada For my entree. Loved both. Authentic corn tortillas fast friendly service would definitely recommend read more

Was pleasantly surprised by this place- solid 3.5 stars or so. Came in here randomly as Bumbershoot was getting rained out and we just wanted somewhere to eat and dry off for a bit. The place is nice, modern decor, and the staff friendly. TV's around the bar playing sports and plenty of space. The margaritas are on point - they also have prickly pear! The bf and I split a nacho and a quesadilla. We ordered chicken but got cheese. Didn't say anything since we were so hungry but were a bit saddened. The quesadilla was kind of small but not terrible tasting. The nachos were quite large and plenty between two people. I really liked their salsa. They had a mild and hot salsa which were flavorful. All in all it was a good stop. Prices were fairly reasonable and they had quite a bit on their menu. read more

The food is pretty good but the staff and their lack of consistency with rules just ruins the entire place for me. I tried going to happy hour twice. The first time we were with a person in a wheelchair and their bar is not accessible. They made a fuss about only being able to order HH items from the bar and said we could order/close the ticket in the bar and bring it back to the table. Then they changed their minds and wouldn't serve us in the bar. The manager acted like they were doing us a big favor by allowing us to order ONE round of drinks at HH prices at the table when realistically, we would have sat at the bar if it was wheelchair accessible. The second time was today (Friday). Arrived within HH time only to be told by the bartender that it wasn't time for HH and it started at 10 pm. The website says it goes from 3:30 to 6 pm DAILY, and during Key Arena events it goes until 5 pm. When I told the bartender that, she said "that's just how it is." I don't blame her - she was probably just handed down a decision from management and had the unfortunate task of being the front line to the customers. Will not be back. read more

Went for lunch on a Friday afternoon and it was fairly busy. I got two beef tacos with sweet potato fries and grilled asparagus. My dad got a beef burrito and my mom got the steak platter. The serving sizes are pretty big. The meat on my dish didn't have a lot of flavor, but was tender and there was plenty of it. The chips and salsa and fries are excellent. read more

Great food and ambience, we came in for some quick nachos and got a free dessert too!

First time in my life I learnt so much about Taqueria. We grew up in college here and the only time we drank Taqueria is when we took 5-6 shots and get knocked the f** out. It's NOT supposed to be like that. You do TASTE them, like win!! The owner introduced some Taqueria named "Mesca"? with a smoky flavor. I love it. We tried some tacos and appz. The jalapenos wrapped bacon were AWESOME. Also the chips do have option to come with cheese instead of salsa. It was pretty amazing too. read more

Agave - Process of making taqueria - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Agave is in my building and their food is consistently fine. However, the service (or lack of) makes the experience unpleasant and, after tonight, I will not be giving them my business again. I was going about three times a month, always with fairly lackluster service, but it became more and more clear that Agave had no interest in retaining my business, despite that they recognized me and I generally spent $25-30. I am a woman eating alone, and it is clear that Agave would prefer loud, boisterous, drunk groups who buy shots and flirt with the waitresses. The waitresses are rude to me and generally ignore me after I manage to get them to take my order- until they bring the bill, of course! I often have to wait upwards of ten minutes for even water- despite that the restaurant is not busy and waitresses and bartenders are standing around chatting behind the bar. Once I went with my friends after we went to a show. Agave's own website listed that late night happy hour had started and yet, they refused to give us happy hour menus and refused to even acknowledge that the website said happy hour had started twenty minutes before. We were all starving, so we stayed, but both my friends commented on how bad service was and how waitstaff refused to honor the happy hour on their own website. Tonight was the last straw. I walked in at 6:20 and sat down in the bar area. The restaurant was, at most, a third full. I was in full view of the bar and the waitress and bartender both watched me walk in. However, despite this, I was not brought water. No one told me they would be with me shortly. No one came over to take my order, ask if I'd like a drink, bring me chips, or even acknowledge my presence. After 15 minutes, some of which included fully turning around and trying to catch the eye of any staff member chatting at the bar (which did occur...with no movement in their part to actually do anything for me), I got up and left. I won't be returning, and I do not recommend others do as well. A complete lack of service is rude and unacceptable, especially when the restaurant is nowhere near full. Shame on Agave. read more

Great drinks, salsa is incredible. Attentive wait staff. Beautiful decor...head in there.

They have all day Sunday happy hour. Also, I love their margaritas, especially the mango one. I have to admit they've improved on their drinks since the first time I came here. I really liked their shrimp bacon dish. Also, I really really like their fresh guacamole and I need to come back and try their jalepeno and cheese dip, which is so bad for you but yet so good!! Their beef taquitos were crispy, but they were ok tasting because they were seasoned well, but reminded me of frozen taquitos I could get at Costco. read more

Lovely addition to this area of town. Interesting menu, great team here working well together. It's very pretty inside and allows for plenty of space for large group or nice and quiet for a couple. I would even come back to sit at the bar! My favorite though, tres leche cake! Heaven. read more

The menu didn't especially speak to me, but I like to check out chilaquiles (Barrio's is my standard.) The carnitas was good, sunny side up eggs done perfectly, and not too many chips. We also shared the quesadilla, which was delicious on its own, but was perfect for collecting the last of the runny egg and salsa verde. read more

Came here for a late lunch after stopping by Kerry Park to check out the Seattle skyline. I sat outside & was promptly greeted by my server (who I think was also the bartender). Nothing pleases me more than greeting me with a carafe of water and chips/salsa! She gave me a great recommendation for the roasted cauliflower salad (yum!!!) and I really enjoyed my drink of choice: the agave original margarita (I can be a margarita snob, too!) Great service, great food, great drinks! Nothing super extraordinary or unique, but I enjoyed it! read more

Agave - Agave original margarita. I can sometimes be picky about my 'ritas - this was delish! Though they could've added a garnish! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Really liked this place! Visited Agave for a quick dinner with my friend before a concert at the Key Arena (it is located less than a block from it) and I was very impressed. I had previously noticed this place but thought it would be expensive, but it was very reasonably priced. I had a dish off the seasonal menu, braised baby octopus with mashed potatoes. It was absolutely delicious and satisfying. This place provides a nice, casual atmosphere that is appropriate for hanging out with friends or even a date. They have a large selection of drinks and the service is excellent. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! read more

Amazing. Period! Best tacos I've had in my life. Coming from a full Mexican family. These tacos are on another level.
