Passionfruit margarita
Emily V.

We went to Blue Agave on a Friday night and had no problem getting a table. We sat out back on their patio which is super cute. Our server was very nice and friendly. I got the fish burrito bowl and my companion got the steak quesadilla, both of which we were happy with. Don't miss out on the margaritas, either! They have several flavors but I'd recommend the passionfruit!

I always passed by the place and finally decided to try it out. The food was alright and the drinks were a bit pricier than other places. The service was nice and I like the lighting of the place. I would go back to check their happy hour deals!

Steak and eggs make for the perfect brunch staple, and what better way to elevate it than with bottomless drinks? The coconut Bellini really caught me off guard with how flavorful it was--the tropical notes were on point, and the foamy top added a nice touch. You definitely get a strong hit of alcohol right at the start, which made it all the more enjoyable. The service was great she kept the bottomless drinks coming and ambiance was very lowkey and chill for a rainy Saturday.

Piña Collada Margarita

At first arrival, it is clear to see that this restaurant is very small! We had called ahead to ask about making a reservation, but they said they only take reservations for parties of 6 or more. So when we arrived we had to wait a bit. They let us sit at the bar (which sat about a total of 10 people) while we waited. After about 15 minutes we were seated. Our waitress checked-in without making us feel rushed whatsoever. We started with some drinks, the pina colada margarita, and some queso and nachos. The drinks were delicious, and the appetizers hit the spot. For dinner, I ordered the quesadilla which was a bit smaller than I expected, but still delicious. Overall, the drinks and food tasted great. It felt a little pricy for the sizes, but it felt on par for a Brooklyn restaurant. Side note: There is limited street parking available. We spent at least 20 minutes circling before we finally found a spot! Keep in mind it was a Friday at 7pm.

Good brunch with a nice ambiance esp if you need a local date spot. They include a mimosa with something off the brunch menu.

Honestly, I've been to so many taco places in bay ridge and the city.. I don't think I would come here again. However, I do like their service. That's why I'm only giving two stars just because they were nice. Please save yourself time and the money.

Have a bad experience with george from the restaurant, need to be professional, not satisfactory

Strawberry margarita pitcher

Came here for the first time this past Saturday and absolutely loved it. It was pretty chilly out so we chose to sit inside. They take your temperature upon entering, their tables are all spaced apart and their staff all wear masks. As soon as we sat down, we were given complimentary chips and salsa.. awesome start! We then ordered a few spicy margaritas (strawberry and spicy). They were so good that we decided to grab a pitcher right after. As for food, there were so many delicious options on the menu but we ultimately decided the hard tacos, the veggie fajitas, empanadas and choco flan for dessert. I'm a hard shell taco kind of guy and I was so happy to see the option on the menu, as most places only serve soft tacos. They had the perfect crunch, were packed with flavor and held together with each bite. I can't comment on the fajitas as I did not try my dates dish, but the empanadas were fantastic. She's a vegetarian so we opted for a plain cheese empanada. The cheese was warm, gooey, and oh so stretchy. I know this is a bold statement but I would put these in the top echelon of empanadas across New York! Now onto the finale.. their chocoflan. In the words of Joey Lawrence from Blossom, "WHOA"! This was the perfect way to end a meal. I loved how the quickly the fork pierces the soft flan, only to be slowed down by the rich creamy chocolate below. Each bite slowed down time. I don't often find myself in this area but the next time I'm back, you can bet I'm returning to Blue Agave.

Wonderful service, wonderful food! Highly recommend the frozen margaritas and Sangrita. The cheese empanadas and chicken empanadas are delicious. Also love that they have hosted gayridge events here!

"Hours of operation"

This place is ok. What I dislike most is that 2 times now, myself and my party have been turned away at 9:45pm, when the hours posted are clearly till 10:30pm s-t. Change your hours or change your staff who is so lazy they'd rather turn away clients so they can run out the door at 10:30, instead of closing at 10:30 like posted. It's quite simple. No need for sarcastic and passive aggressive bartenders who say; "I'm so sorry" or " i don't know why it says 10:30". Maybe the owner doesn't know the staff works this way. Not good. Needless to say we went right across the street to Margaritas and had a wonderful time, bull$h!t free.

Hole in the wall space, but quality restaurant appeal. Blue Agave has become one of my staples in Ridge. I've tasted most of the appetizers - delicious. The bartender here makes an amazing mixed drink - from the sangria to the mezcal margarita to the caipirinhas & everything in between. His drink making skills are solid. Blue Agave is a great bar, restaurant & appetizer spot in yue neighborhood

Such a relaxing place to have delicious Mexican food! It's a small restaurant but such a gem in the area - wonderful patio seating in the back. Perfect for those summer days. ***call ahead of time if you are looking to be seated outside. I was told that patio is only open weekends and specific days The Guava margarita was light, not too sweet, and thought it was paired nicely with a spicy salt and sugar. It was refreshing, and had a natural taste. It was not artificial. Whenever I visit a Mexican restaurant, my go to is never usually the fajitas. I truly think that if you are going to order a fajita anywhere, ordering the shrimp fajitas is a must! It is served on that sizzling plate. I also enjoyed being given various options for the type of tortilla I wanted. I opted for corn and they were good. I love the fajitas here!! The shrimp tacos are excellent. I added sliced avocado on top and this really brought out the flavors. The shrimp here is excellent quality - and the way the chef chops the shrimp really is great as opposed to having just large pieces of shrimp in the tacos. They were slightly spicy. Memorial Day just passed and we forgot the corn at the grocery store for our bbq. I came here the day after Memorial Day and I am so glad I came here for the corn. They were roasted and covered in cheese and perfectly roasted on the grill. Favorite appetizer on the menu. My favorite dish here if I could order one item is the seafood mango ceviche. The mango was perfectly sweet, ripe, and seafood was fresh. So much flavor in every bite. The fried calamari was very crispy with a breading that has a slight kick to it. The chipotle mayo was a great addition. Churro was not overly sweet, and was not greasy. The dipping caramel sauce and chocolate sauce were the perfect balance. The flan was my favorite during the visit. It was a cross between a sponge cake and flan. I have noticed that people are either fans of flan or not at all. I truly believe this flan has revolutionized this known Spanish dessert. Service was very kind, down to earth, and courteous. Thank you! I will be back!

After hearing only good things about Blue Agave, I felt a visit here was long overdue. My friend and I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and were seated immediately. The bar area was popping since it was St. Patty's Day and green margaritas were in order for some other patrons. My friend and I each ordered a house margarita and I went with a choice of 3 tacos - 1 rotisserie chicken and 2 ground beef. Ooof. Unfortunately, these were not good. The ground beef had no flavor whatsoever and neither did the rotisserie chicken, which by the way, was actually just boiled watery chicken. My friend got a burrito with ground beef and also said hers was tasteless. She doused everything in hot sauce to make it better, but it didn't really help. I was actually disappointed in the food here and would have surely given this place 5 stars if the flavors matched up with the friendly, quick, 5 star service. Were they just having an off day? Not sure. But with so much other competition in the neighborhood, Blue Agave will need to step their game up... and fast!

Our reservation was for 8:30pm, but we arrived early and Alejandra, the hostess, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Even though she was ready to seat us, we decided to hang at the bar until the rest of our party arrived and that was the perfect move. Alkarys behind the bar was top-tier. She recommended the Siempre Reposado, and let me tell you... smooth, clean, dangerously good. If you're into tequila, that's a must. Now let's talk about the food. We ordered the quesadilla, rajas, tamales, tacos, and the queso fundido and every single dish hit. The queso fundido came out bubbling, rich, perfectly melted with that pull you want when you scoop it up. The tamales were moist and packed with flavor, wrapped beautifully and clearly made with care. The rajas had that perfect balance of roasted pepper sweetness and savory depth. The tacos? Authentic, well-seasoned, and layered with flavor, no shortcuts. Even the quesadilla stood out, crispy on the outside with that perfectly melted interior. Everything felt traditional, elevated but still true to its roots. You can taste the authenticity. Service was attentive without being overbearing, the ambiance was super casual and laid back, the kind of Brooklyn spot you pull up to for a real dinner experience, not just a quick bite. Highly recommend this place if you're out and about in Brooklyn. Definitely coming back for the tequila, the queso fundido, and round two of those tacos. I'm gonna try eating at the bar to check out the spot in the front of the house.

Williamsburg - South Side

4.4 and rounded up. Ambiance 4 stars…read more Food 5 stars. Service 4.3 stars. AMBIANCE: Walking to the restaurant from the subway, it's located on an unassuming block at the corner of 4th St and Havemeyer in Williamsburg, front of store doesn't particularly stand out. Walking in they've decorated with creative, crafty (in a good way) touches--the multitude of ropes draped from the ceiling add dimension to the ceiling and the bar back wall is composed of wood pieces forming a multi-colored herringbone pattern. Textured glass pendant lights hanging from the ceiling throw mini geometric patterns across the dark walls, and vibrant canvas artworks add pictorial interest along the walls. FOOD: YUM. I can see why this place was jam packed on a Saturday night, and reservations are needed. Strong recommendation for their tasting menu at $58 pp, what a delightful meal! 8 sharing dishes and 3 desserts were perfect for a party of five, and drinks are separate though you can add a cocktail pairing for $47. For each main they provide a serving per person, and the desserts are shared. I came hungry and was so full by the end of the meal--everything was delicious! - grapefruit guacamole w/house-made chips: the grapefruit chunks were "meaty" and surprisingly went really well with the guac, it added a different citrus element than the usual lime. Comes with a small bowl of maybe 6-7 chips and we asked for two chips refills since the chips to guac and salsa ratio was low. - spicy faroe islands' salmon tartar: tasty and I liked the latin flavors and corn, snow peas, a touch of wasabi. Flavors of the sesame-soy-truffle-lemon vin and crema got a little muddled. Relatively more "generic" dish of the evening though I was here for it! Any dish with fresh tender salmon, I can't complain. - blue crab and carrot tostada, generous shredded crab salad on top of freshly crisp blue corn tortilla. Topped with pumpkin seeds, dill, cilantro, and saffron-orange aioli. - three cheese & artichoke 'queso fundido': served in a very hot ceramic pot and super melty and delicious, eaten with the fluffy grilled pita and green apple slices + salsa. One of the top picks of the evening. - roasted bone marrow and chorizo, served as tacos with fresh blue corn tortillas, and added a sprinkle of pickled onions--does that sound amazing? Bc it was AAHMAZING. - spicy chipotle-guajillo shimp 'diablo' (not spicy): served with pumpkin tortillas and three accompaniments on the side--mushroom chile crisp, horseradish crema, celery 'salsa macha". Part 2 to make your own tacos was another hit! Our entire table agreed if they sold the sauce for the shrimp we'd all buy it. - heritage pork osso bucco 'carnitas' with Fall-spiced black mole, sour cherry mostardo, calabrian chile pesto: cue drooling now. This part 3 of the tacos was served on pumpkin tortillas; the meat was practically falling off the bone, tender, juicy and flavorful. - buffalo-style com 'elote: sooo good too! A little messier to eat since it comes drizzled with spicy hot sauce butter, feta, lime aioli, cilantro, though totally worth it! - Desserts: --green tea matcha churros: comes with two little pots of spiced mexican chocolate & passion fruit sauce. Warm, sugary and crisp without being too sweet. --pumpkin spiced-vanilla flan: topped with sour cherries, cocoa nibs & toasted seed 'trail mix", if you love flan you'll love this, so smooth and creamy with a bit of crunch and tang from the cherries. --pistachio tres leches cake with cream cheese frosting, raspberry, using an olive oil cake: we all agreed this was probably the best tres leches we've ever had. The pistachio nuttiness and the creaminess from the milks paired well. SERVICE: Very friendly and attentive service though it was very loud in the restaurant and they had to really shout. There was a delay in the middle of our meal I think bc kitchen was slammed, after the entree we waited about 35 min for our desserts. Considering they limited the seating to 2 hours and about half of our party arrived 20 min late, and accounting for the long wait pre-dessert, they did us solid by extending our table time by about an hour in total. Also great that they brought the first dessert out with a candle for my friend's birthday.

A trendy spot for modern Mexican eats! Everything was baseline yummy, standouts include Blue Crab…read moreTostada, Shrimp and Scallop Tacos and Tiramisu Tres Leches. Vegetarian options were super great too, and decent selection. We ordered à la carte, but there's a chef's tasting menu for $63 which feels well worth.
