    Menu Blu Agave
    Ronda D.

    This Mexican restaurant located in the heart of downtown Gahanna was a nice treat today! The cool plants on the ceiling and music was a nice touch. Our waiter greeted us with a nice hello And smiled! I got a chimichanga with black beans and rice, my husband got chicken, cheese with tortillas. Everything was delicious. I usually like to get a margarita when I come to a place like this, but wow! They were expensive at this place. I skipped it this time.

    10. Fresh Guacamole Dip

    I feel like our experience was ok, nothing stood out as super amazing (other than the guac) but nothing was too awful. We had to ask multiple times for extra salsa bowls to eat the guacamole and the server wasn't very attentive despite the restaurant not being very busy. The inside was very lively, not at all the typical Mexican restaurant look.

    Bar and highendish wall of wine!

    This restaurante Mexicano off the St. Rt 62 strip is en fuego serving its authentic fare in a comfy, upscale suave. The second store spun off the casa madre in New Albany, it occupies the space of a former Panera, leveling up the environment to a romantic sleek with perfect ambient lighting, clean booths, and a rustic patio. Plastic vines drape the dinning room like MC's Ling Ling. Latino music filled the air in various South American styles at perfect volume. The bar is specially impressive: a wide and long bottom-lit span of earthy crème and white suggesting the colors of the Mexican desert where the Blue Agave grows, the succulent from which tequila is fermented. We came on a noon Thursday after my girlfriend was stressing and needed an escape. We were greeted by a very friendly staff and selected the eye candy of the bar to sit. TV screens above, high-end bottles glistering from the chandeliers behind, and a wall of wine closed off the world and created the sanctuary for which we had searched. The food did not disappoint. Choosing from the lunch menu (served 11:00AM - 3:00PM) I selected Enchiladas Verdes: chicken filled with green tomatillo and sauce--I sensed serrano, garlic, and cilantro--with fried rice as a side ($10.49). This was superb. It tasted so rich and expertly made with the perfect spice balance for my palate. My g/f selected the Speedy Gonzales ($10.49). Named after the classic WB cartoon mouse, it comprises of a taco, a enchilada with two sides--she picked beans. She downed the combo with a fresh Margarita which she flipped for. The menu is worth a check. It has all the Mexican fare. The service is is superb, on-point. The salsa nd chips are plentiful--and the mild spice they gracefully got us was the tops. I recommend this place for a classy lunch or date night. It is the tops.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this Blue Agave location. The decor is nice and upscale -- chandeliers above the bar, nice cushioned booths, etc. The menu is extensive and typical of similar Mexican restaurants. All the food was flavorful and fresh -- I was impressed with the fresh-made guacamole and the shrimp quesadilla (good sized, fresh tasting shrimp, which is not always the case in Ohio!). The margarita was good but not very strong (seemed a bit watered down?) and I wished there were options besides the "jumbo" but didn't see those listed in the menu. Server was very friendly, though we did have to ask for some things (didn't have enough menus, not all the food came out at once). I'd probably give 3.5 stars if that was an option, but the food itself was such good quality that a bump to 4 does not seem unwarranted. I'm interested in coming back for lunch.

    First time here on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We sat on the patio and had a few of their strong house lime and raspberry margaritas. The patio is nice and the inside is nicer. The bar is very big and reminds me of a fancy hotel lobby bar. Service was attentive and efficient. This is a great addition to Gahanna and we will definitely return!

    We loved the patio. The server was a bit clueless, but managed to take our order. The food was just okay. Definitely overpriced.

The server was a little hard of hearing and couldn't understand most of my order. When I asked about happy hour specials....he just explained the computer gives a discount. Thats it. No detail on which drinks or what food if any. I ordered the beef fajitas since I didn't really see anything unusual or interesting jump out at me. Chips and salsa - I thought these were pretty standard and the salsa tastes like something you could buy at the grocery store. Steak fajitas - these were pretty decent considering we were so far away from Mexico and Texas where Mexico food is usually much better. The atmosphere here is really festive and location is fairly convenient so maybe that's why this restaurant is so dang popular. My colleague also enjoyed his meal so that made things go well during the visit.

Our server, who I think was the manager, seated us quickly and was super friendly and attentive throughout the meal. There is a long bar in one room where a couple locals were dining while watching a game. They also have a back room for larger parties and an outdoor patio. We ordered the beef enchilada, chile relleno combo, and also the chimichanga dinner. Both were very well prepared, and the sauces were definitely not store bought. We asked the manager and he did say that they make their sauces in house. I love that, especially since they were really good and had a deeper spice flavor than other places.

Owned by the bigger Mi Tradicion chain, but this is a quick-serve place. Mainly carryout, but 10 or so tables inside and a few on a patio outside. Big menu for a little place. I went with a carnitas torta and some chips and guac. Service was fast. The chips were very freshly made, like, hot and a little oily. Very good. The guac was good but a pretty small portion for $4. Still, plenty of chips, and when the torta arrived, whoa, it was huge. Didn't quite finish it. Great bread, lots of tender meat that's a bit crispy on the edges, decent veggies. Two hot sauces on the table, I preferred the green. Neither very hot. I was reminded why I love tortas and why I rarely get them. It was a bit messy. Stayed together, let's say 75%. But I of course ate whatever fell off too. Mexican Coke and Jarritos for drinks, plus a couple of beers in the case. Handy, fast, very good.

Mole may not be for everyone's taste buds. You can taste the chocolate in the sauce, more so than any mole I've had before. But it all worked well...shredded beef, crispy tortilla, onion and avocado.

They served us tortillas with fresh Salsa and a refried bean dip ( really delicious). The food arrived promptly and was piping hot (the only way to serve a mexican meal). The food was fantastic and the server's description of Barria will have us coming back for a new experience. The decor is a little loud, but inviting.
