    We came to Agaves Kitchen on a Sunday for brunch with a large group of friends to celebrate a birthday, and overall it was definitely a mixed experience. The patio had a DJ playing music, which actually set a fun vibe, though it was pretty loud and made conversation a little challenging at times. After a bit, our waitress came by to take drink orders. I ordered a Diet Coke and asked for chips and salsa -- she clarified it would be an order (so I assume they're not complimentary), which was totally fine. The restaurant was clearly busy, and it looked like there was only one waitress and one bartender working, so service felt stretched thin. After taking our drink and appetizer orders, she came back for meals. There were about eight of us, and surprisingly our main dishes arrived before the cocktails and appetizers. I ended up canceling my chips and salsa because my meal came out first -- and anyone who knows me knows I like to fill up on chips before diving into my entrée! That said, the food itself was delicious. I ordered chilaquiles (my go-to brunch order), and they easily made my personal top-10 list -- really flavorful and satisfying. Unfortunately, my Diet Coke was flat, and when I mentioned it, I was told their sodas were flat, which was a little disappointing. Overall, the food was very good, but the service experience would probably keep me from returning. Some of our group stayed to enjoy the dance party afterward, but I called it a day after brunch. Parking was $15 in a structure around the back.

    Margaritas were delicious. Had the watermelon one, would definitely recommend! The staff here is always so sweet.

    José is great! I met him at a yelp event in Long Beach and he was catering watermelon and lime tequila drinks. He has the best customer service.

    Chill spot on taco Tuesday's. 1 bartender and 1 server. Service was ok, no major issues. Not the vibe I saw online but maybe I try again.

    Service fee for no service

    This establishment operates with zero hospitality. I wouldn't even call it "service"; it felt more like being robbed. The bartender, Yatzyl, was incredibly unprofessional--dancing behind the bar and ignoring patrons for over 30 minutes while prioritizing specific people over others. To make matters worse, after paying a cover charge to get in, I was forced to pay an automatic "service fee" (tip) for someone who provided no service at all. When I called to complain, management offered nothing but a hollow apology. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its customers.

    Mariscos Chile Relleno (it has scallops and shrimp)  Highly recommended!

    Came here for the first time just to hang out. The space is pretty small but it wasn't packed on a Saturday. It is free seating. Our server, Tony was really nice and friendly. We tried the agua chile and chile relleno. Both were good and I see myself ordering those again. Too bad they close early, at 10pm. They have a night club beside it which opens at 10pm. It's in downtown LB so parking is always challenging. We parked at the paid public parking just 1 block away. $5.55 for 2 hours. You can extend your parking on your phone. Overall, I would come back again. I just wish they would play more upbeat/lively music.

    Daysha was a vibe from the beginning to the end. We order unlimited mimosas and we definitely got unlimited. The margaritas flight was good but it could have been cheaper. The food was good and hot. Definitely will be coming back. Ask for Daysha if you want a good time.

    This was nice place, we enjoyed the food and the service here. The ambiance was real nice, i really likes they had a club attached which was a mixed crowd. I would ce back but to check their brunch out.

    Chicken Chilaquiles
    Franchesca S.

    I enjoyed myself. Went for Sunday brunch for my sis bday. Chilaquiles - bomb, red and green sauce. They put both on mine with chicken. The steak and eggs medium with the chimichurri sauce - YUMMY. Service was good. We had a large party. Ambiance was also nice. Brunch was grown with the dj playing 90's 2000s music, then the vibe changes a lil after 2. Had a great time and will be back

    I'm a local and came to watch the Super Bowl, our waitress Daysha was amazing!!! She's so much fun. Ask for her, she made our day and we had an amazing time here.

    The food here was so good! The nachos were out of this world very flavorful and made to perfection. The birria tacos were excellent as well and cooked from the heart. Enchiladas were awesome as well another perfect dish. Then their dessert flan and churros were off the hook! Jason' & Jose thank you for making our evening special and it was great speaking with you guys today. The music was great this is a very upscale place to go. It was quiet for us but then the music i really enjoyed. I will return again and appreciate your establishment in making great food!

    First time coming here because we heard good things about this place. The gentleman at the front door asked us for our id's but never really greeted us. He gave us a choice to either sit inside or outside and we chose outside. We came for brunch but it was ending by the time we got there. As we sat there waiting on the waiter we were looking at the menu. My best friend chose taquitos de camaron and I chose a quesadilla with taquitos. As we were conversating we noticed no waiter coming to help us. It's been 15 minutes and no waiter. So I had to get up and go look for a waiter and when I asked the lady that was the bartender she gave me an attitude as if I was bothering her. Finally the waiter came and we ordered. Our food came and we had to wait another 10 minutes for our drinks. Food was ok but the drinks were pretty good. This place has the potential to be great but service needs to be better.

It's normally taco Tuesday or dinner. It wasn't busy when we arrived. Mainly everyone was seated outside which we wanted a table as well.

It took a while for someone to come out and clear and clean the table up. It was fine waiting but it was like did someone forget about us. Anyways. We got seated and then the waiting continued.

Seeing people going in and out which I knew it was a restaurant. Last night we started off with drinks at the speakeasy next door. The two places share restrooms and that's how I found out about this place. Let me say it was a vibe. The first thing you notice from the back, the bar area and Photo Booth. And the live DJ keeping the place on its feet. We ended up wanted to check it out as it was a full restaurant and bar. Friday night without a reservation, spoke with hostess which they could accommodate 6 of us in a bit. Still had to close out at the other place before. The restaurant has a cool vibe with the main dining area in front, bar area towards the back side and on the opposite site is where the DJ booth was. Sam was our waitress who took very good care of us. Very sweet, friendly and of course attentive. Made sure that we were well taken cared of and if anything was needed she was there. It's a cool Mexican restaurant with a cool vibe to match. The place did get lively and was pretty full. You had parties up and dancing and enjoying themselves. Anyway, food and drinks. Started off with some spicy margaritas. Wow, they were strong but good. You had to sip versus drink... lol... Bartender was not playing and in a good way. The menu is somewhat limited compared to other restaurants but what was offered all looked amazing. A modern twist to Mexican food but still with the amazing authentic flavors. Instead of a meal we opted for à la carte and shared everything. Also was informed that the dishes are like tapas and great for sharing. Chips and salsa were brought out which both the chips and salsa were excellent. An order or the aguachille which had that nice sour taste with the lime juice perfectly balanced for the shrimp and trimmings. Served with tostada. The shrimp ceviche, another wonderful dish. Nicely marinaded in the lime juice was very flavorful and also served with tostada. An order of the enchiladas, came with three but we split it for 6 of us. The cheese and filling was very good. The molcajete served in a volcanic bowl stuffed with different meat, cactus, cheese all combined to create an amazing dish full of flavors. A must have and lastly the adobado hamachi collar, yellowtail. Very tasty but did have a fishy taste. Yes it's fish but still. Quite tasty and plentiful. Overall food and vibe was great. The place was definitely lively in the evening. We can finally say we've been and tried some amazing dish. It's a place that worth coming back for more. Parking is a little crazy as residential is always packed. There's a lot across the street which they do utilize but it's can be a bit crowded as well.
