    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Steak burrito, guacamole and salsa, plantains all good. I prefer regular menu as brunch menu portions not as big.

Everyone that works there is super attentive and for how busy they are they always make sure to check up on your table. Their tacos are extremely delicious, they don't hold back with make sure each taco is full of any kind of meat that you get! Full of flavor and just looking at them reminds you why they're the best. Some other notable things that you should get is the quesadillas and the nachos they have. I'll have to keep coming back to try other things.

This neighborhood gem offers an industrialized minimalist form of decor with pops of color and art. Cozy but roomy, the bar area had mostly 2 seater tables and a few with high chairs. We recently went for a birthday brunch. Restaurant Week was still in effect but we decided to choose from the regular brunch menu. Place was low key and giving neighborhood vibes. The service was 10 STARS! Our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. We were also checked on by a second staff member who I think may have been a manager but cannot be certain. We started with cocktails and they serve chips and salsa gratis. I had the Jalapeno and Hibiscus Margarita and my friend ordered the Pepper Margarita with Strawberry and Chipotle. Mine was a bit on the sweet side without a hint of tequila. My friend's drink definitely was the better of the two. Not overly sweet and definitely a flavor of tequila was present. We also ordered a guacamole. I must say it was quite small and barely served 2 people. I suggest if more than 2 guests are part of the experience, order more than one. For my entree, I requested a market salad and 2 veggie tacos with a side of birria consume. Salad was very fresh and I am sure was made to order as opposed to premade a week prior and waiting in a fridge to be served. My tacos were average but satisfying. The consume was a bit disappointing as it was more of a water/broth based and not of a typical gravy consistency. It was not exciting. My friend's entree was the highlight of the experience. She had the brisket quesadilla. Never have I seen a quesadilla with a crispy outside such as this. A culinary masterpiece indeed. She consumed it all and not one complaint afterward. Delish. We did receive a complimentary Churro plate for the birthday celebration. They were drizzled with caramel and berries. Served warm, they were a dream for the palate. I did use the bathroom which was a single stall. It was clean enough but not well lit. The biggest downfall of my experience was the temperature of the restaurant. I understand it is summer, however, there was no A/C and the inside was extremely hot. I sweated through my entire experience. Even the bathroom felt like 100 degrees. We did not complain but our waitress noticed and brough a fan out to circulate the air. They do have ceiling fans but honestly I did not feel them. The management/owner should consider more temperature control methods during the hotter months as it was quite uncomfortable. To sum it up, I thought this experience was mostly positive and would patronize it again.

Most of all, what I really appreciated with every bite is that I wanted more and that it was so unique compared to anything else that I had ever tried. I thought the tasting menu was a really good deal, but you should also consider booking just a la carte because everything was so solid. You can tell when the chips served alongside the guacamole are so delicious and so unique that the rest of the meal is going to be incredible. I will say that it did seem slightly understaffed. Our waiters did the best they could, but dinner took longer than expected. It was still a great experience for both those on dates and those there with friends!

We got the deconstructed margarita and I really enjoyed it as well as the pina colada cocktail. Service was a bit on the slower side but to be fair, there weren't many people working the tables. Also one of our dishes got served to the wrong table and then never came :( definitely wanna come back to try the tuna tartare which was the dish that didn't get delivered.
