    Oooey gooey cheese and Cheese & Onion Enchiladas!
    Dee B.

    DAY 5 1 the manager I spoke with face to face STILL has not addressed the charge to my card for the internet order not received. Kudos to our Major Name Brand bank for reversing the charge. Great food but unfortunately financial matters-matter.

    My boyfriend and I recently visited Blue Agave Mexican Cantina. I was craving Mexican food and wanted to try a place we hadn't been in a while. I remembered Blue Agave. We had visited there years ago and had had a great experience then, so we decided to give it another try. They are located at Scottsdale Road and the 101, in the sprawling shopping center on the opposite side of the road from Whole Foods. We were greeted immediately by the manager and were seated in a booth. The restaurant was quite busy on a Thursday night. The waiter appeared quickly and took our drink orders (water). We took our time checking out the menu. There are some unique items on the menu. We munched in the warm, fresh tortilla chips and medium spice level salsa. I asked the waiter for recommendations and he suggested the Baja Shrimp Pasta dish. It had jalapenos but I asked them to be left off. He advised it still had a medium spice level. Normally, I go for mild, but I gave it a try. The pasta was a huge portion and was indeed quite spicy. I ate half and took half home. I heated it up the next day and added sour cream to it to tone it down, which brought it back to a milder spice level. My boyfriend enjoyed his two shrimp enchiladas, rice, and beans. It was also a generous portion. He ordered both flavors of sauces. We had great service and will definitely be back!

    Fajitas were bomb and bf had the chimichanga it was huge and delicious. Margaritas were perfect and dude gave us good deals. Bartender was so nice too! Will be returning:)

    Border Burger (taken after I cut in half)

    Stopped in for a Sunday evening meal after a long day. My wife ordered the Baja Shrimp Pasta and I ordered a Border Burger on the rare side. The pasta was a huge portion with a good amount of shrimp. It was very tasty and just the right amount of heat. My burger was cooked perfectly with a nice side of fries. The burger was a good size as well and wound up only eating half since it was later in the evening. We had lots of chips and salsa and a couple drinks. Decent meal and enjoyed the evening. I've been here numerous times and generally always satisfied.

    Quesadilla
    Kristi P.

    The menu is a bit overwhelming which typically means they don't have a real specialty and everything is mid. That rang true here. Margarita was meh, think Applebees. The quesadilla I had was cheesy but the meat was tough and lacked any hint of seasoning. The most disappointing thing was that the bartender seemed to think I was going to skip out on my bill. I had to send her back to the kitchen a couple of times for missing items and condiments that came with the quesadilla that was not in my Togo bag and I witnessed her ask the older man ( manager, maybe?) to watch me. Felt very uncomfortable and I hate to assume it was racially motivated since there were others at the bar she engaged with and skipped that direction while they dined. I overtipped in a effort to debunk the stereotype but I will skip this place on my next trip. I travel here for work often.

    Delivered carne asada plate. 4.5/5! Great!
    JC K.

    4.5/5. Ordered the carne asada plate to go. Steak was juicy and full of flavor. Refried beans were very creamy and delicious. Flour tortillas was soft and warm. The rice had amazing flavor. Combined together on the tortilla was magic. Only tweak is to have some authentic grilled green onions and a side of sour cream. Will order again!

    Birria Enchilada special
    Bill T.

    Always a draw! Often come back & it always delivers! Haven't been in ages, but we'll be regulars soon!

    Hands down the best Mexican food I've had!!! I ordered the enchiladas and they were absolutely incredible!! packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The service was just as impressive as the food; everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The whole place has such good vibes and super comfortable, lively, and the kind of spot that makes you want to stay a little longer just to soak it in. If you're looking for authentic flavor, amazing service, and an atmosphere that feels both inviting and fun, this is the place to go. I'll definitely be back!

    We found this place from a coupon we got in the mail and it did NOT disappoint! Loved the vibes here and that they were playing March madness and allow dogs on the patio. We loved everything we ordered! I especially enjoyed the elote appetizer and taquitos! My husband loved his fajitas. I can see this spot being a regular for us and not to mention they have a great happy hour! We will be back for sure

    I've been wanting to try this place for several months now but every time it's been booked. I…read morefinally got off work early enough to make it at 5 o'clock. Since I was by myself, I was able to be seated at the bar. The vibe here is incredible! It's beautifully decorated and nice and cozy. Perfect for a date night. I must bring my husband back here at some point. As I said, I sat at the bar and Megan the bartender was outstanding! I ordered a drink called Agree to Disagree. I think that was the name. Anyway, it was delicious and because it was happy hour it was half off the regular price of $23. I ordered one oyster and it was fabulous. I only ordered one because I was meeting a group of friends at The Guest House in 30 minutes and I did not want to spoil my appetite. I can't wait to come back here so that I can enjoy the full experience with the band. It's a lovely place and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Worst experience ever here... Where do I start? Called in yesterday for a party of 12, got told…read morethat they would combine and accommodate the middle space for us. We walk in and get sat at the bar instead and get told it's the best they can do as others get sat in the middle. Eventually they got a smaller table for us, but the rest of us had to stand. For a big birthday party today, it was a failed experience. Took ages to get our drinks and it was impossible to get water. Couldn't even get some water for the past 2 hours we were there. The people in the middle tables got ice cold waters, we could barely get two and it was warm. At least the inside was nice, but wow, I would NEVER come back or tell my friends about it. I am ASKING a manager to reach out because this experience was HORRIBLE. Not only were they quick to "judge", but they sure were quick to bring the bill.

    We have been coming here for a long time, but unfortunately, this will be our last visit. Many…read morepeople have advised me to stay away, claiming the place is overhyped and that there are better options available. However, every time we visited in the past, we had a great experience--until this last visit. We made a reservation for 7:45 PM but didn't get seated until 8:30 PM. While this isn't terrible, it can be challenging when you have a little one with you, but it's to be expected as a parent. Once we were at our table, we ordered drinks and food for the kids. My wife ordered a cocktail, and I opted for an Old Fashioned. The kids ordered pasta and a cheese pizza. This is when things started to go downhill. The pasta was okay, but the pizza had a few hairs on it--more than one, in fact. This made us uncomfortable, so we informed the waiter, and they addressed the issue promptly. As we waited for the new pizza, our drinks arrived, and they were nicely presented. However, while sipping my Old Fashioned, I noticed something unusual in my drink--Tajin. Curious, I asked the waiter if this was a special variation of the Old Fashioned. She replied no, so I pointed out the issue in my glass, and she confirmed she saw the Tajin as well. I felt she was treating it as if it was acceptable, which it clearly wasn't, so I looked at her, signaling that I would like a new drink. (I wish I had taken pictures.) Following that, our main dishes started to arrive. My wife ordered a wagyu steak, and I had the pork loin. Unfortunately, we began to analyze everything after the earlier mishaps, and the vibe of the experience was completely lost. To make matters worse, we were still charged for the pizza that had hair on it and the drink that had the issue. With all that being said, I've decided I will no longer be dining here.

    We had a great night at Etta overall. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and has such a…read morewarm, inviting vibe. We were seated in the back since we were a larger party, which was a little disappointing - the front area felt much more lively. We didn't realize we could request seating closer to the front, but to their credit, they did turn the music up a bit, which helped the atmosphere. The service was okay - not bad, but a little on the mediocre side. That said, the food definitely made up for it. The Wagyu steak was absolutely delicious, and the appetizers were solid as well. Even with a few small hiccups, it was still a great experience and a fun night out. We would definitely go back and would just ask to sit closer to the front next time.
