Classic Margaritas
Cris T.

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!

Passionfruit margarita

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.

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
Jared S.

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!

Blackberry Rosemary Margarita
Jeniece R.

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!

Absolutely 5 stars without hesitation ! I fell in love with this place the first time we visited…read morewith my mom while she was in town last year. The atmosphere is amazing -- such an amazing vibe, welcoming, and filled with positive energy. The staff is super friendly, professional, and always makes you feel at home. Everything is incredibly delicious, fresh, and clean. My personal favorites are the obvious winners: chicken wings, paella, ceviche, guacamole, tuna aguachile, chicken chuzo, and so much more... My son asks to go there at least once a week just for his favorite chicken chuzo with French fries! It's also super kid-friendly, which makes the experience even better. If you still haven't tried this place, you're seriously missing out

Let's break it down:…read moreDefinition: "Chuzo is a brochette or skewer of marinated, grilled meat with bold seasonings, classic sides, and the unmistakable flavor of Colombian street food." "Bar" well we all know what that means, "vamos, vamos, vamos!" Since my first visit last year, I was hungry for more deliciousness and decided to go with Yelpie friend, Sharon for brunch. Bar Chuzo has the restaurant and bar attachment which is where we dined. I happen to like the bar room for dining, it's charming and quieter for a Sunday brunch. Bar Chuzo offers really nice Brunch selections from ceviche, salchipapas, tuna, steak and apps from delicious fries, calamari, crab, plantain chips, croquettes and so much more. Here's what we ordered: Apps- Plantain chips( dinamita !) with a side of salsa verde. Yuca Croquettes with Yuca, Chihuahua cheese, and uchucuta sauce( green herb chile sauce with nuts) Dinamita number two! Two different brunch menus, Menu 1 offers apps, sides, entrees, cocktails and desserts. Menu 2: Bottomless Brunch for 90 minutes choice of Margaritas for $35 or Mimosas for $30. Mains: Crab cake Benedict consists of sunny side up egg, crab cake, potato cake, uchucuta hollandaise sauce, crostini and Chuzo salad. Sharon enjoyed it very much.Dinamita number three. Chicken Chuzo: Brasa marinated chicken skewers, Andes Ecuadorian corn, yuca croquettes. There are two skewers with three pieces of chicken on each, scrumptious, loved the taste of the chicken, the croquettes ( yuca again) nice accompaniment and the corn was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! Dinamita number four. Cocktail: Mango peach sangria hit the spot! Service: Gabriella is a great, professional and accommodating server. Absolutely wonderful and knows her stuff! Dinamita number five. There are delicious desserts as well but too full. The portions are generous and this meal for me was lunch/dinner. The vibe here is chill with Latin music seeping into your veins. 'Mis felicitaciones al personal!' ( my compliments to the staff).

I was passing through Sunset Park and hadn't eaten since breakfast. I saw an Ecuadorian spot near…read morethe train, but it had a B grade, so I passed. Defeated, that only made me want Ecuadorian food even more. I began a mission to get a plate of llapingachos (mashed potatoes laced with cheese and topped with peanut sauce, a typical dish in the Cuenca/Azogues area of Ecuador.) Yelp did not fail me. I walked south and found this place just after some scaffolding. I sat down and was promptly given a menu. Llapingachos are usually eaten with fritada (fried pork) or hornado (roast pork, like pernil.) Them I saw guatita (tripe with peanut sauce) and was almost lead astray and said to myself, No, you came here for llapingachos and llapingachos you shall have. The menu had pictures and I even saw a plate pairing them with steak and eggs. It was a hard decision, but I went with that. The waitress brought out green sauce, called ají in Colombia (not sure what it's called in Ecuador.) my husband ordered the bandeja paisa, a Colombian dish. I waited in trepidation, as I was starving at this point. The food came and I was unsure what to go for first. The meat, the llapingachos, the fried eggs, the salad, or the rice. I gave each a turn. What I love about Ecuadorian cooking, is that there's often a variety of foods on one plate. I hadn't had this plate in ages, so this was a real treat. I wasn't feeling 100% today, so the meal was hearty, yet had nothing to upset my stomach. It turned out to be just the right thing for me. My husband enjoyed his meal, though it was a riff on the traditional plate. They left out the area yet added a few pieces of pork on the bone. He seemed to enjoy his meal. I'd go back. In fact, a personal obligation will require me to be back in the neighborhood in a few days and now I have a little spot to go to that I can trust. I might just try the guatita this time.

Open kitchen and limited amount of seats let us keep the place cozy and intimate, just like home. We make sure to buy from local purveyors, coffee roasters, and bakers." Home is where the heart is and there is nothing quite like a home cooked meal. I have to say most Bay Ridgians enjoy dining local and in our neighborhood. I love to support neighborhood gems because majority of restaurant owners here, love their clients, establish loyalty through cooking delicious food and provide consistent great customer service. I was in the mood for a " comfort food"breakfast, you know, eggs, avocado, mozzarella, tomato, deliciousness and I found it on the menu simply named "Breakfast Sandwich". Which consists of voila: Mozzarella, avocado, tomato jam, arugula, crispy bacon, dijonaise, sunny side up egg between multigrain toasts. I ordered this sans the bacon ( requested turkey bacon which they do not have). What arrived in my plate was this decadent open faced egg sandwich that looked delectable.. and was!! Let's first talk about the wheat toast: I tasted it naked and it simply melted in my mouth. The ingredients worked well together, perfect synchronicity. I used one half of the toast to sop up any fallen ingredients. Highly recommend! For a drink, I wanted something a bit different, thus, ordered the Mango Mint Peach tea, fruity with a hint of mint. Loved it and went well with the Sammy! There are lovely options besides breakfast sandwiches like quinoa, oatmeal, granola, pancakes, French toast.. breakfast is served all day and lunch is served @noon. I arrived before 12 and was told I can order breakfast or lunch. It has a cozy, intimate vibe which I love.. one where you can dine solo, or do work or read or just enjoy the fabulous food. I will make "The Common" my home away from home. Additionally, there are cooking classes in their Park Slope location; the courses look great: Italian feast, Moroccan cooking, Wine Pairing and many more. Check out their website for more info.

It took about 10-15 minutes for us to get seated and the service was so friendly. There was so many delicious dishes and I decided to go with the lebanese skillet breakfast and a cappuccino. My friend got the pulled pork bowl and we decided to get the pancake to share. The dishes came out pretty quickly and at the same time. It was so hearty and filling and wasn't heavy at all. The pancake also had a great taste and crunch from the skillet. It wasn't sweet at all so it was easier to eat. The portions are perfect! The staff and ambiance are so lovely and I'm looking forward to trying the other dishes.
