    I loved the salsa sampler! We got abuela, verde, and mango habanero. Each flavor was delicious and so flavorful. There are three guac options all made table side. I love the guac experience it was so much fun. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful. I love the vibe and the colors.

    Faded dirty menu

    Our server did not speak any English (could not answer any questions about the menu or food items, could only say "ok" and "thank you"), and the level of cleanliness in the restaurant was appalling. I actually didn't feel safe eating there. On top of that, I have an allergy, and didn't think the server could understand or care for the allergy, and did not trust any surface of the kitchen to be kept organized or clean considering we were seated next to the bar which was piled with employee belonging, open Amazon boxes, sweaters, etc. The menu was worn and faded and sticky. I didn't even feel comfortable drinking the water. I would've left right away but my friend had ordered a beer (came with a lid thank goodness) so I had to wait for them to finish before we could leave. The owner stepped in to vaguely answer a question (I asked if they had any hard cider, which my server said "chicken?") and was dressed so casual I asked if he even worked there. I would never eat here or recommend. No idea how this place is even open. ZERO STARS.

    We were the only ones in the restaurant at noon on a Sunday. We were seated right next to a bussing station and two people folding napkins around silverware. They were about 3 feet away. It seemed like our seats were more about their convenience than our comfort as they were stacking plates behind us and it was loud. We found a ring on the floor and tried to give it to our server. She said it wasn't hers, but we again commented it was on the floor by our table and it wasn't ours. When the food arrived about 3 minutes after ordering it, it looked beautiful, but it was not flavorful and the beans were cold. The last time we ordered the same thing and it was so good, we talked about it for weeks. This time didn't come close. For no drinks and bland food, the cost is far too high for us to be repeat customers.

    Tres Leches- or so they call it. There was no milk. So dry and just terrible.

    This was our second time coming, and just like the last time, food was good and service is slloooowww. I ordered the taco bar flight which came with 3 margaritas and 3 tacos and it was good. My husband ordered fajitas and those were also good. We ordered the tres leches to go and it was absolutely horrible! In no way was it a tres leches. It was soooo dry and neither of us liked how it tasted. That was a waste of money. Overall the food is good but service needs improvement

    First time here with my wife, and it was great. We will absolutely be back. We order 2 beers, salsa flight, and 2 tacos each. Both of us really enjoyed the elevated style of Mexican food and it certainly adds a much needed Mexican flavor profile to Fort Collins. I would put Agave Underground in the category of Authentic / Elevated / Sit-down Mexican food, as opposed to street/taqueria/market. Ambiance was good, the place felt clean, service was great.

    New restaurant review Who: Agave Underground Where: located across the street from the movie theatres at Foothills Mall About them: This is a high-end take on traditional Jalisco Mexico food recipes. The Feed.. Appetizer: Salsa Tasting, Abuela - tradition tomato salsa Mango Habanero - Mango, roasted hot peppers Avocado Mousse - Jalapeños, Cilantro, avocado, avocado oil Mole De Origen - too many ingredients to list but I highly recommend ordering a side of this with your chips just to try it... thank me later All above were served with blue chip tortillas Main items ordered: Grilled Burrito - I chose the asada. Salsa fresca, charro beans, mexican crema smothered in green chile Bacalar Scallops - seared scallops with jicima slices, bacalar sauce, fresh mango Salsa, fired green onion, fine herbs, Macha oil Tacos de carreta - Jr Sinaloense - carne asada De Panza - slowly cooked pork belly Al Pastor - guajillo marinated pork Ensenada - Beer battered fish Pollo A Las Brasas - Octopus marinated in oil then grilled Zara - Grilled red snapper Arrachera - carne asada steak served with a fresh Cilantro chimichurri and rotillas Postres - Prickly Pear Cactus cheesecake. Just incredible.. Drinks : Tequilas... the Mango shotta which is a mix of Mango and jalapeno.. WOW! The experience: Ok... we have actually tried more items on the menu than this but I did not want to write a 16 chapter book. THE FOOD HERE IS NEXT LEVEL AMAZING. We walked in 2 days after their soft open and have been back 6 times since. They do not officially open until sometime in November as they work out the "kinks" All I can say is that the way they have built their flavor profiles is exactly what you would expect from a Higher end establishment. They did this while preserving the traditions of their ancestors in Jalisco while adding new life to very common dishes... nothing common about this place. The salsas are amazing, the proteins are amazing. I spoke with the chef who told me point blank.. "if it's not perfect it does not leave the kitchen". That is a very hi bar to set for excellence. The staff is new and friendly. The biggest issue we have seen is they are still not eyes up in the front of house and there were a couple of times where we had to wait for a considerable amount of time at the bar for someone to help us when it was not busy. As we have communicated this to ownership this has improved. This place is going to crush it and if you are a fan of Buena Vida or Blue Agave then this place should impress you. Happy eating!

    love the large open bar area and views outside!

The tall…read moreceilings and round lights give the space a soft glow, and the concrete floors keep it grounded. The bar almost resembles something you might find in a small European hotel, which may suggest they are aiming for a slightly upscale tone, though it never feels pretentious. The seating is varied, with small tables and retro chairs that seem intentionally chosen rather than bought in bulk. The spacing is better than most coffee shops, which makes it easy to settle in without feeling crowded. The back area opens up even more, and the soft drapery adds a touch of personality that appears to hint at events or just a bit of flair. The staff continues to be the standout for me. Everyone I spoke with was kind in a way that felt natural, and they knew the menu well enough to help me navigate dairy free options. I usually order the avocado toast on focaccia because it is consistently fresh. The bread looks oversized at first but is airy and soft, and the avocado and radish topping feels simple in the best way. The matcha made with water has also become a go to since it tastes smooth and well-bodied without that chalky, thin finish some places have. My partner and I visited during their Dia de Los Muertos weekend and tried a few themed items. Everything was good, and they were quick to suggest dairy free choices. Prices seem fair, even with the general bump everywhere lately. The only thing I wish they had more of is outlets. It is still a nice place to work for a couple of hours, but coming with a charged laptop helps. The overall vibe is calm with just enough energy to keep the space from feeling sleepy. It works well for coffee dates, casual catch ups, or solo work, especially for anyone who prefers a relaxed atmosphere without too much chaos.

    Ace Gillett's -- The Best Speakeasy Vibe in Fort Collins…read more Ace Gillett's is one of our favorite spots in Fort Collins -- a fun, underground bar with true speakeasy vibes. Cozy booths, dim lighting, live music, a full bar, and genuinely delicious food make it the kind of place you want to linger. We love coming here with friends and sharing appetizers: flatbread pizza, fries, Brussels sprouts -- everything is consistently great. We've celebrated our daughter's 21st birthday here, and celebrated our new home here. It's perfect for date night, girls' night out, or a cozy, relaxing evening with live music. One of the best things about Ace Gillett's is how flexible it is. As my husband and I say, it's an "every evening place" -- you can splurge on an incredible full meal or spend $15 on a happy hour drink and an appetizer. It works for any occasion and any budget. And the location is unbeatable: tucked beneath the historic Armstrong Hotel in the heart of downtown Fort Collins. Super convenient if you're staying there, and a wonderful spot to add to any night out. Highly recommended.

Plenty of smiles and maybe one of the few genuine "we're glad you're here" vibes I've experienced in N. Colorado. Yay for customer service! Clean and open entryway. A few arcade games when you walkin gives a nice fun flair. They have booths, tables, and a sizable bar that spread along the windows letting in the sunset glow. Busy wall decor for those who like that sorta thing. It was very clean and open in there so it didn't feel cluttered or messy. Menu is "bar food" and fried; think happy hour.... But wait there is no happy hour there? It didn't appear so anyways. We looked at the menu beforehand so we were looking forward to a variety of fried goodness! For those who are looking for veggies to maybe balance the plate- this is not the place. The food was good and cooked to our request. Beverages- beer and cocktail list, Pepsi products. Paper towels at the table for folks who are getting down with wings. Catfish are two 4 oz filets; they definitely were tasty, seasoning was great and the lemon slice was a nice touch. I was underwhelmed by the plate:price ratio ... and I understand what type of economy a new business must be facing... And not many places here have catfish on their regular menu, so I can be humble and content. They won my heart over with a full plate of battered fries and condiments galore. Buffalo wings were great. Loved the sauce with the extra jalapeño pieces on top. Wish there were a few more carrots/celery on the plate. I'm not a huge fan of the tray vs. plates or baskets, however, am aware that it's an eco-friendly choice and likely helps cleanup/dishwashing duties in the back. I would like to try one of their hot dogs and the apps before I feel like I've been given an impression of their menu. I am looking forward to it and imagine I'll be able to add the 4th star to my review and/or to get more of a feel for why I'm "on the fence." Zoltar sent us and we're so happy we visited!
