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.
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.
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!
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!
Super tasty and delicious, I have a few more photos on my Instagram from a day we ate in. Super cute spot, with dope outdoor seating. Their steak is phenomenal and full of flavor, and as far as steak tacos go- this is my go to. I love their grilled octopus with potatoes. I just recently got delivery and sadly my crunchy tacos were a bit stale- but that's usually not the case.

I have been here for drinks in the past and the drinks are always solid. Honestly they often on the strong side which I don't mind. However I usually forget that they also had food because there are so many options for Mexican food around here. This time around I decided to stop and try their food out. We started with the queso which was ok nothing special. For my main I ordered the mole enchiladas and I actually like it. My boyfriend order the steak but they were out of stock so he settle for the pernil. He claims to be a pernil connoisseur and wasn't happy with his pernil here. I had two margaritas one regular and one with mezcal and left feeling a little tipsy. I think this is just a place for drinks and snacks but the food was just ok for me. read more

Ok I only came here for their drinks so I am not rating based on their food. This is a nice spot in the middle of a block in Bay Ridge neighborhood. They had a backyard area which I was surprised about but they made it look good. I ordered a French Bull dog and from the ingredients it looked like the only difference was instead of beer there was a small bottle of Hennessy, sounds awesome right. In my head and too so other places I've been to when you ask for a bulldog you get a nice big margarita glass with the bottle usually beer inside. Nope here they gave me a tiny glass with the cognac inside, no way you're calling that a bulldog and charging almost 20 for it. It was good but not justifiable at that size. I had this one drink and left. 3 stars maybe I'll try them again soon read more
I walked in to place an order. We ordered chicken and cheese empanadas, steak burrito, the corn on the cob, and the steak quesadilla. I ordered a margarita on the rocks with salt while I waited. The drink was amazing and the food was made with fresh ingredients. The food was amazing. The drink was perfectly crafted. The bartender was awesome! He was talkative and pleasant. The place is clean and they have an outdoor seating. Check them out! read more

Had a really good dinner here. We were seated immediately and all the staff was super nice and friendly. We started with some blackberry rosemary margaritas which were really good and some chips and salsa. My favorite thing was the tostones and garlic sauce (the garlic sauce was everything!). I got the shrimp, ground beef, and steak tacos and my bf got birria tacos. We both really enjoyed the food. I really want to come back and try some other menu items for sure! You can pay with card and Apple Pay which is great. Def returning! read more
Wanted some tacos and Las Margaritas was pack so my friend and I decided to give this place a try. Their tacos were surprisingly better than Las Margaritas in my opinion. You can chose between the soft, corn, or hard shell tacos which is something Las Margaritas didn't do. I tried the soft and hard shell and to my surprise, it's quite good. I found my new favorite taco place! I like how on each table, there's a hand sanitizer bottle. Which is great knowing they care about us as well to provide it on each table. They offer backyard and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating seems to be at least 6 feet apart so kudos on following the recommended social distancing guideline. I know it's hard in NYC since space is so limited. You should also try tamarind margarita! Yum yum! read more

What a great experience! We sat in the backyard and we loved the vibe. They played nice music and our server RICKY was awesome! Even though it was a little humid I had the best outdoor dinning (due to covid) experience so far. The privacy is nice. RICKY took care of us through the whole evening . We really loved the service we received from him! Such a friendly but professional person. The food was great too! As we were looking through the menu we got complimentary chips and salsa. We ordered elote as an appetizer and were surprise at the big portion!! And it was full of flavor. My tacos were so juicy and my friend enjoyed her steak fajita. Although she said she would try the tacos instead next time. Drinks came out perfect too. We ordered mojitos and the frozen margaritas were really refreshing on such a hot summer night. We ended the dinner with a tres leches dessert. We thought it was OK. It definitely could use more condensed milk to make it more moist but it was delicious anyway. I will definitely come back to this spot. Affordable. Great food , service &&& drinks. read more

Came here for happy hour after work. The portions were big. Had I known they were big empanadas and tacos I would have ordered one of each and not two of each. I had more than enough to take home to have as the next days lunch. Drinks were strong and delicious!! Will definitely return to this gem! read more

Horrible customer service! Our server had an extremely nasty attitude towards our large party. She was arguing with us, because we had asked for a special accommodation! So we walked out and enjoyed our evening across the street at Mi Tierra. Don't even bother going to this place. read more

I've heard from others that the Blue Agave at 3rd Ave is much better than the 72nd street location, and they were definitely right! This location is much cozier and even has an outdoor area for enjoying the beautiful nights. Definitely call ahead and reserve a seat if you want to be seated outside, because it is just beautiful outside. HOWEVER, BEWARE OF MOSQUITOS. While my friends and I were busy feasting, so were those evil mother suckers. Food-wise, everything was delicious. The tacos, mango ceviche and the guacamole was perfect. The tacos here are REALLY good, although it was a bit inconvenient that you HAVE to order two of the same tacos per order (you can't get 1 of each taco, unless you buy in sets of 3). The mango ceviche was very refreshing and was nice to try. The star of the night was DEFINITELY the sangria.. served in giant pitchers of red or white, they were absolutely glorious. So bring your friends and get your drink game on! Honestly, I had a lot of fun here. Only reason why I'm hesitant on coming back is that the mosquitos had a lot of fun here as well. read more

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled…
Hole in the wall deliciousness. Amazing service. Such a great staff. (Enrique was our main sever and was awesome.) Delicious food. Incredible drinks. Can't wait to come back. Outdoor seating is clean and comfortable- very enjoyable. The margarita sangria with a spicy rim is leaving me considering alcoholic status. I WILL be back. read more

I attended a dinner party with friends and we had a wonderful time. The staff were inviting and very attentive. The backyard was simple and cute to enjoy a meal and drinks with friends. The food was delightful. Drinks? More please! I sampled all of the frozen margaritas including the French bulldog which was my favorite. The raspberry Margie had seeds and I loved that because I like textures. The hibiscus was very smooth and sweet. I overall enjoyed the drinks! The dessert though?! Where do I begin. It's hard to leave me speechless and this flan did it. It was beyond words. I'm going again this weekend and I can't wait to experience this all over again. Might start with the dessert! read more
Came here at 9pm, was greeted and seated right away. Love this place the drinks and environment is very warm and comfortable. The staff is friendly and very kind as well. Always my friends and I go to for late drinks, although they close a bit early lol. Will definitely recommend and will come back here! I love staying local this is the best spot! read more

Unless you're as big a fan of Mexican food as I am, you might be asking yourself "what on God's green Earth is that?" when you order the chimichanga. What you'll receive is basically a humongous deep-fried burrito, bringing every delicious element of a Mexican meal together in compact form. Mine had rice, beans, tons of shrimp, monterrey cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. It was perfect. I'm giving this place five stars because it has the one thing I appreciate most in any restaurant: consistency. My friends and I have ordered most of the items on the menu, including, but not limited to: ropa vieja, steak burrito, del mar (shrimp) chimichanga, empanadas, and churros...and everything has been good. Sure, some things on the menu are tastier than others, but overall this place is a solid choice if you're looking for a good meal. read more
