Usually when you go to a Mexican restaurant and get chips and salsa on the house, chips aren't homemade and salsa is too spicy to enjoy much of. Not this place. I could have eaten them as my meal. Also splurge a little get the queso, it is well worth it. 10/10 on all food. We got the quesabirria (quesadillas made with birria meat), the mixed fajitas, sopapillas, and of course chips and queso. The service is amazing! The waitress was attentive and so sweet. It's a nice place to come get a fantastic meal and drinks. Watermelon marg is well worth the trip itself. read more

Very delicious and authentic Mexican food! Service was quick and servers were friendly & attentive (even during a busy time). Loved the music and environment, only complaint would be parking but other than that, this is our new GO-TO place. Affordable too! read more

Problems with food, with prices, and with service. FOOD: I felt sick right after, my wife felt sick during the night. PRICES: $11 margarita that tasked like 7-Up syrup. Awful. SERVER: We cleared a coupon for a free entree with our server before ordering, then she said no after the meal. Manager too said "you needed to get soft drinks for this" when the coupon said "drinks." So they made us buy soft drinks as we were leaving. read more

Blue Agave is a Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurant located on Treadway just down from Hendrick Medical Center. Atmosphere: A much beleaguered location with several openings and closures in the last 10 years, the building is very much a diner style venue. 1 Star Service: Service was great. Sat us right down and our waitress was very attentive to us the whole time we were there. Very polite and very quick service. 2 Stars Food: We were given chips and salsa to start off with. The salsa was good with a nice kick to it. The chips were fine, (and I don't discount for their choice) just not my favorite style of chips. We also ordered the Queso with steak. Quite good. They serve some flour tortillas with it as well which were also good and seemed fresh. My wife ordered the Quesabirria (a take on Birria tacos but in quesadilla form) and it was massive! Huge portion. Definitely enough to feed two people. They had good flavor and the Birria sauce was decent. I ordered the fajita chicken chimichangas. Classic Tex-Mex style chimis usually come with rice, beans, meat and cheese and then are fried golden brown and topped with queso or some form of red sauce. What I got was not a chimichanga, at least not what I have ever eaten, and it is one of my favorite dishes that I order at many places. I've had them stuffed with grilled onions and peppers (my fave) as well as the classic mix mentioned above and several things in between. What I received were two smallish "wet burritos." Each were stuffed with grilled fajita style chicken and .......... that's it. Nothing else. No cheese, no beans, no rice. Just grilled chicken in a tortilla. And then it was grilled (like on a Blackstone) instead of fried (this is easily noticeable from my pics.) and covered with queso (which was good). With that being said, the chicken was fantastic on flavor. I will not discount the taste. Very good, but man, I was sure wanting for more, and longing for that crisp golden fried tortilla. Lastly, the rice was good and my refried beans were cold (as in burr.) The wife's charro beans did not suffer the same fate and were very good and hot. 0.5 Stars Overall: Let's just get this out of the way first. Nothing we had tasted bad. In fact it was all very good. The chips are a personal preference and the Birria sauce was just ok. The Birria meat was good. The chicken in the "chimi" was also very tasty. I will definitely come back to try something else. But I'll most certainly steer away from the chimichangas. I'd be remiss if I didn't come back and at least try the enchiladas and tacos. I rounded up to 4 stars but overall, it's a 3.5 star on this visit with the cold beans and disappointing chimi. read more

We were waited on right away by a sweet waitress. I ordered chicken flautas and my husband had chicken anchiladas. They were hot and delicious. The place was busy, so it was a little noisy. We will definitely go back again. read more

10/10 all around, amazing service and amazing food. The atmosphere was fun as well. We definitely would recommend!

In town for work and stumbled across this gem. The service was acceptable, but the food is worth returning for. We had the queso with steak, chicken quesadillas, and quesabirria. The steak queso was good, very cheesy, but the quesabirria was the star of the show. Tender, savory, perfectly crispy tortillas. Nice meal! read more

Stopped in around 6pm on a Wednesday. The place was busy but I was able to get a seat at the bar right away. Love the chips and salsa at the table. Nice bit of heat in the salsa and the puffy chips had good cruch and flavor. The house margarita on the rocks was huge. It was tasty but a little on the sweet side for my tastes. They have other varieties to try though so perhaps one of them will be more to my palate. The fajitas were well seasoned and had nice charred bits on the meat and veggies. The vibe was friendly and service was good even though they were packed. As luck would have it, someone from work brought in tacos for lunch the next day. Also very good. Will definitely stop back the next chance I get. read more

The Food is fantastic and service is fast and polite, but this location is terrible, it's parking lot and dining area are both awfully small, went here and was sat at the bar because there were no tables available. Interior is too small and looks dirty compared to other locations from chain. Food is the best Mexican food in town, I hope they remodel or move because I would rather drive to tuscola to the nice location than eat here again. read more

Service was super attentive. Chips were unique and light. Salsa fantastic and a little spicy. California burrito was great and crunchy taco VERY good. Chicken enchiladas with green sauce were excellent. Rice and beans very flavorful. Would like to try everything on the menu. read more

The food was delicious. I ordered tacos al pastor, and the portion was generous. The service was great too. Highly recommended.

ask me a month ago, and i would've given it a 5 star. I walk in on Wednesday the 25th at 7:00 and i guess i chose the worst day to eat here. We waited a solid 5-10 minutes before even approached about being seated. The building has improved, but being sat in the back, the waitress that was serving the left side was a joke. Not only was she extremely sarcastic and rude, she was the least attentive, or polite waitress ever. We asked 3 times for water and she finally got it back to us after shoving her sloppy fingers into our drinks. We had to ask again for a refill on the pops after that. The bathroom floor was covered in puke and the waitress got tipped a whopping 2$ instead of 0$ because i wouldn't want her getting confused and thinking I'm just "not a tipper" her service was genuinely deserving of a 3% tip I probably could've served our table faster myself. Also the food was not up to par, my corn tortillas were crusted up grease balls shoved on a plate and sloppily groped with overcooked chicken knuckles. Im utterly appalled at how hard this place fell off in the matter of 3 weeks. Wont see me back here for a while, or maybe not at all. read more

Service and Ambience I strongly dislike writing "bad" reviews. However, Blue Agave on Treadway went the extra mile on bad service and food quality. One other customer and my party of three were at the restaurant at 10:05 a.m. when Blue Agave opened their doors. There were at least six workers at the bar, having their breakfast or lunch. It took 10 minutes for someone came to our table for our drinks. The traditional, regional, northern Mexican music was loud and gave the impression that more than a restaurant, this place was a Cantina. Food Avoid the chips and salsa; they will make you frown, and unnecessary wrinkles will appear on your face. We ordered Carne Asada and a Chile relleno with cheese. The beef was chewy and flavorless (It felt like I was eating a rubber band). I requested my beans and rice on the side (separate from the meat), but my request was ignored. The Chile Relleno was covered with a tasteless- depressing tomato sauce that yelled to us: "Send me back to my can!". I will try this place again and see if it was only a bad day, but I am not excited about Blue Agave. read more

The food and people here are always great! Very generous portions that we usually order our own but end up taking half home for later! The steak or chicken chimichangas are perfectly crispy and amazing and the sweet tea is very good too! If you're less hungry the quesabirria are a great choice! read more

True family atmosphere. Consistent good service with a couple of stand out wait staff. Excellent food,? Love, love the street tacos and chile relleno but not a fan of the new Avocado salad. Miss the bacon and the seasoning is not as good. read more

This place is always full because it's got great Mexican and Tex/mex food at fair prices. Service is quick and friendly. The place can get a little loud and warm but that's just due to it usually being completely full. Still easy to enjoy good conversation with your table over good food and margs read more

Just had a dinner celebration @ Blue Agave in Abilene with 20 people.They were very quick to seat us, never let our drinks get low & excellent service. Treat yourself & go there next time you eat out!!Food was spot on Delicious!!! read more

Awesome local Mexican food place. Clean, looks like it's been recently updated inside and out. Restaurant and bar. Service was friendly and efficient. Salsa is one of my favorites. Not bland like a lot of places. Our whole party liked our food. I had the avocado salad. I ordered it with chicken but they sent steak instead. It was delicious. There were even pieces of bacon on it. The meat is on top of shredded lettuce and finely chopped tomatoes not the huge chunks of lettuce and tomatoes you often get with a salad. I prefer this. Plus they are generous with the avocados and limes. We definitely moved this place to being one of our local favorites. read more

My husband and I decided on dinner at Blue Agave, we both wanted Mexican food. We were set in the back room, temperature was perfect and had some music on the tv. my husband had the flautas plate and I decided on Birria plate (4 tacos). Our waitress, Reagan, was very studious! She had our drink order immediately after being seated, brought chips and salsa to the table, took our orders and had our food on the table within minutes. Both of our meals were so good, and piping hot. The salsa was so good, had good flavor and a bit chunky. No complaints here, we both left full and I carried my left overs out for tomorrow. Thank you Reagan for a very pleasant dining experience:) No pictures tonight.... I forgot! read more

this is my favorite restaurant that i never have any issues with. tonight i received the worst service. i ordered beef fajitas and typically they come with 3 corn tortillas. i only received 2 so i let my waiter know. she apologized and no big deal right? well no, because then after 5 minutes she comes back and hands me 3 old, hard flour tortillas. i asked her if i could get the corn and showed her those. another 5 minutes pass and she finally comes back with a corn tortilla. and the. rest of my food was cold. ruined my entire appetite. don't think i'll be going back. left a really bad taste in my mouth. read more

Everything I've had from here has been really good . The carnitas and the Mexican burritos were the best I've had around Abilene...

Great food and amazing fast service. Drinks were on point. Our server was polite and friendly. Salsa was a little mild for our tastes but still good. The entrees our group chose were all hits. The building doesn't showcase the amazing food going on inside. We will definitely return when in the area. read more

We came to eat here for dinner on 9/2/25 and two out of the four people in our party got food poisoning. They were sick all night/morning. The service was good, the atmosphere was fun, but the food made us sick and that's unacceptable. Do not come here for the food if you want to risk getting sick. read more

Amazing! Hands down the best Mexican i have ever eaten, best chips and salsa , everybody thing we got was so great!

By far the best Mexican/Tex-Mex in town. Servers are very attentive and friendly. Overall the place could use some updating, including painting over the BBQ written on the roof. But don't let looks fool you - the food and service are wonderful. read more

Service wasn't bad, but my husband and I both immediately got sick after throwing up etc, and we both had two completely different meals. Food was cold, and cheese wasn't melted on either of our foods. Honestly just not great over all. I would not recommend at all. The ambiance wasn't bad, other than the music was loud af. My husband and I were screaming it felt like at each other to hear anything. read more

Beef fajitas were tough. I cannot tell you much about the flavor because I spent time trying to pull them apart. Service was average. Ambience was small and loud - not so much in a negative way - you just need to be prepared for that atmosphere read more

Our stop for dinner here on our roadtrip did not disappoint! Super kind staff, a menu with usual Tex Mex faves but I was so pleased they had a keto / low carb friendly option with the avocado salad-- generous portions and the food came out fast! After sparing carbs at dinner, I chomped on a sopapilla for dessert- it was like a beignet-- I brought my fam including a 10yo and 3yo we all loved this place! read more

Their queso is hands down the best! It can get a little crowded inside so I usually just get my food to go.

Really good food!!!! One of Abilenes best in my opinion. Chips and Salsa is spot on. Queso is great! Personally, my favorite plate is the Pollo Plancha! Great service! And to top it off, they have my favorite beverages, Coca Cola Zero! I just wish they carried more glass bottle Fanta flavors or Barrilitos, giving more options for my kids. You won't go wrong choosing this place to eat. read more

Tried the newest addition to Abilene's restaurants The salsa was some of the best I've ever had and the chips were freshly made. Great portion sizes for the prices. Queso was thick and cheesy! Rice was cooked perfectly! Definitely a place I'll come back to. Attentive and friendly service. read more
