    Santa Fe Wedge
    Sarretta M.

    Lovely and welcoming with delicious (pricy) food! We stopped in after a show nearby. We parked in a parking garage about a block away and walked to the cute and trendy restaurant. Luckily, despite it being a Friday late afternoon, we were able to get a table right away. The staff were friendly and attentive. The decor was classy and lovely. After perusing the menu, I ordered a spicy jalapeño margarita to share with my husband and some chips and salsa. My husband ordered the Tofu-Walnut Enchiladas while I opted for the Santa Fe Salad plus a cup of Poblano-Corn Chowder. Everything was outstanding and the service was on point.

    I ordered the happy hour chicken tacos but they added beans and rice which is their dinner portion.  They charged me the happy hour price.

    Great margaritas and good food and service. Especially for happy hour I ordered the chicken tacos off the happy hour menu, only $7.

    Pricey spot downtown with good margaritas and food. Fun for a fancier night out with friends. Had these spicy cucumber margarita and it was fantastic with nice frozen cucumbers. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful to our group making sure we had enough seats for all the friends joining in! The coconut shrimp was fantastic and I would get it again!!!

    Carne asada taco
    John L.

    Pesto carnita tacos are the best item here. It's creative, unique, and absolutely delicious. Fish tacos are a close second. Well-balanced flavors, classic fish taco. NOT battered, which is a huge plus for me. I have to say though, not consistently executed well. 2 times, they were amazing. One time, fish was overcooked... like absolutely hammered. Awful, probably should have sent it back. But we were in a rush by that point. Next best item here is the chorizo corn dip. Simple and tastier than I thought it would be. I wish I could eat the chip bowl it was served in, but it was greasy as hell. All other tacos were below average to bad. Carne asada tacos were not balanced. Meat itself was really good, but the black beans just takes over and muted all the flavors. I am a black bean lover too. The chicken tacos were just awful. And the red carnitas tacos were unremarkable and boring. The tequila selection is disappointing, but I'm comparing it to real tequila and mezcal bars in Denver, the likes of adelitas. The tequila selection here is basic. And the margarita was not great. If you just want to drink, then it gets the job done. Service is inconsistent and slow. Waters were not refilled consistently. Seemed like servers were somehow, at the same time, rushing and lackadaisical. Only reason why they get 4 stars from me is pesto carnitas tacos and fish tacos (on a good day). If these items disappeared from the menu, then it's 2 stars... maybe 3.

    Margarita Flight

    Service Food Thank you Nick and your staff for exceptional service and taking care of our team (20) for lunch. Nick was a pleasure to deal with and it was seamless making a group reservation. Our server was amazing as well. The food was great and came out fairly quickly considering how large our group was. The only feedback is that they were out of their delicious tortilla soup and the shrimp skewers weren't cooked that great. Everything else was delicious, with the Blackened Scallops stealing the show!!! OMG

    Spicy cucumber margarita
    Ann L.

    A group of us had dinner here on a Sunday night and it was pretty quiet, but we were still glad we had a reservation since we were a large group. I enjoyed the spicy cucumber margarita; it had just a hint of spice and the frozen cucumbers added a nice touch. They don't skimp on the tequila so one was plenty! I had the al pastor tacos for my entree and they were flavorful and nicely seasoned; portion size was perfect for a not too heavy dinner. We did share some appetizers as well and the tuna was quite good. Service was good and the atmosphere was casual and quiet.

    Nice decor. Friendly bartender. Cocktails were tasty. Guac lacked flavor & portion was small. The diablo hot sauce was spicy & enjoyable. Clean restroom.

    Margarita flight and fish tacos
    Justine S.

    Always such great food, drinks, and service! I don't go to 16th street often but when I do this is my favorite place. The margarita flight is so much fun! My mom says the fish tacos are the best she's ever had.

    Kristen C.

    Great spot for a quick bite! A chain feel and huge menu. Food was good and the service was pretty quick! No one else really in the place! The flight of margaritas was tasty!

    Queso fundido
    Patrick S.

    It's been awhile since we have eaten her and it seems the menu has improved as well as the food. The 16th street mall, Colorado's #1 tourist attraction is in the midst of a massive, much needed, multi year renovation. Blue Agave happens to be on the first section of this project to be completed. The outdoor seating area is easily four times its original size and it's very inviting. Lots of plants and two and four tops that could be configured for 6-12 tops if they were so inclined. The service was great. Seated quickly and no wait. Our server was on top of things and kept us hydrated and the food coming. We started with queso fundido. This is really tasty indeed. Green chilis. Multiple types of cheeses and chips and tortillas to scoop with. Very delicious. We ordered the Santa Fe Cobb and the chicken enchiladas. Both were delicious and made with quality ingredients. The salad was loaded with protein although I don't ask for any. Loved the fresh avocado and boiled eggs. The food is great, service is great and the atmosphere is perfect for a summer evening on the patio.

    Signature Asada*
    Shanelle S.

    Visited here as a pre-concert dinner while in Denver. Ordered the nachos with spinach for an appetizer. It wasn't a terrible meal but wasn't necessarily my favorite either, as it felt just thrown together. Originally came in planning to order from the happy hour menu but was quickly intrigued by the skirt steak and enchilada combo meal. I'm so glad I ordered it because it was great. Super flavorful and very filling. The drinks were pretty strong but at a good price for happy hour. Our server was very nice and made a few other recommendations. The restaurant felt semi upscale but also semi casual as well. I liked the atmosphere for sure. Would definitely visit again and maybe try some of the tacos next time.

    Tortilla Soup
    Esmeralda C.

    First time dining at a Blue Agave restaurant. The restaurant was spacious and our waitress was friendly except for the manager on the floor. The manager greeted everyone in the other tables except for mine. I felt racially discriminated against since we were the only table that was not Caucasian. The food was ok, taste was mediocre and the enchiladas were suppose to have lobster and shrimp but ONLY had shrimp. I didn't want to question this issue so I let it sly because our waitress was sweet. Won't ever dine at a Blue Agave restaurant again!

    Nachos
    Will S.

    We went for happy hour and was pretty pumped with the prices! All the food pictured, and 2 margaritas, 1 IPA, and the sangria swirl was $98 total before tip. Food and servers came around rather quickly and were very friendly! Food came out just as we ordered it with no errors! Good experience and not much to not like about it. The carne asada tacos were definitely the best (and 100% what I would get when I go back) Followed by the pork then the shrimp. The nachos were unconventional and nothing to write home about. Salad was tasty and a very good size! Definitely Will be back!

I will say for the oyster deal it has been good, but sometimes the oysters aren't cleaned well. Again a hit and miss. The ambiance is nice and soothing, very ocean blue. We have also tried some sides and other entrees. The shrimp entree was good but lacked some salt. The burger was amazing with the bacon jam and always have the best shoestring fries. I also got an order of the crispy rice that has a salmon and a tuna. The salmon was way too sweet and had a fishy aftertaste that I disliked. The truffle tuna was definitely the better one of the two. However, the rice itself was absolutely mushy and not necessarily crispy. It also didn't have the best flavor. Desserts tried were the olive oil orange cake and the brownie. both are OK and nice and sweet, but not something I would spend money on Overall, truly think this place is a hit and miss. Just depends on the night.
