Hands down, the BEST service and most authentic Mexican dishes in the valley! My family and I had a great time and loved the atmosphere. It was our first time visiting the restaurant and I can assure you, we will be back! The service was terrific, our server was named Daisy and she just had an all around wonderful vibe! She was so kind and helped me decide what dish was right for me and boy, was it delicious! I had the chicken and shrimp fajitas which I shared with my husband and still brought some home. The guacamole was SO FRESH and tasted phenomenal! I 10/10 recommend Corazon de Agave and will be telling my friends as well as returning with my family. If you visit, I would highly recommend asking for Daisy, I'm sure the other employees are amazing as well, but I for sure will be requesting her in the future as she was so accommodating. Love it here, thanks again! read more

Very clean place. We were checked on regularly during the meal by the owner to make sure our dining experience was top notch. And it was. We started out with an off menu appetizer consisting of healthy sized octopus tentacles served with potatoes in a delicious sauce. Everything was tender and delicious. Then we had enchiladas with a generous amount of sauce served with beans and rice. We finished with cheesecake. The owner clearly had a sense of humor as you can tell from the picture of my serving. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience and I highly recommend! read more

The real question you have to ask yourself, is why haven't you eaten here yet? This is classic Mexican fare elevated to a better level without losing its way with weird ingredients and ridiculous prices. Chili relleno was terrific, wonderfully stuffed peppers with a light egg batter. Enchiladas verde are so good and perfect for someone who prefers Midwest spicy. All the flavor with only a little heat. Servers are great and don't rush you along. Decor is understated but gives a nice modern Mexican vibe. Central location and Scottsdale adjacent so close to everyone. Stop going to mediocre Mexican restaurants and go here instead. read more

Far too long to return and better than before. We tried two new sauces; Mole and Achiote, and both were robust and tasty.. Had Cochinita Pibil and Fajitas (chicken/beef). Margaritas were special and stout. Service by young lady was remarkable. Reservations were simple and high-top seating was most comfortable. We'll be back! read more

Make a reservation otherwise you will be waiting for a table. The service is very efficient and fast. No lingering with the meal. The best chicken flautas I have had in a very long time. They were tightly rolled and the chicken was so moist. I would have liked a little more lettuce. Other than that they were delicious. Not really a churro fan we decided to share a plate. They were so good. A generous serving of ice cream to go with them and a small amount of caramel sauce. The caramel was okay, chocolate would have been better. Anticipating my next visit. read more

Corazon De Agave - Chicken flautas - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Amazing neighborhood spot for upscale Mexican food. One of the rare instances where the Mexican food is actually great and it's not a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Pros 1. Friendly, personable and nice waitstaff 2. Very good food. We all loved the funded appetizer and housemate tortillas to go with were excellent. We also all really liked our entrees except our one friend said his entree (shrimp - see pic) was a little on the bland side. 3. Nice, clean, up-to-date decor Cons 1. Very expensive for a neighborhood, strip mall restaurant. It's a nice restaurant but nothing over the top and not in a super expensive area so the pricing doesn't seem to line up. 2. Adding 3.5% charge on top of the already high prices is a turn off and would deter me from returning. read more

So here we are out of convince. Service was mediocre - ambiance is well I'm not sure if there is any? The guac is just mushy tomatoes. The salsa is still just okay. Not hot, not flavorful. I got the enchiladas which were also boring.. I'm so tired of writing this review - I went back and looked at the reviews too many fake ones. read more

This was my first time here, my parents and aunt had been here a couple times prior to this. My aunt had made reservations for 10 of us on Father's Day. Our waiter was extremely nice and a very polite young man. It seemed as if he was the only one for a little while then 2 other waitresses came which was so very needed. It was a full house, inside is pretty small so I guess it could fill up pretty quick. My husband and I ordered the flautas, my son carne asada fries. I have to say mine and my husband rice was cold, we didn't mention it, the poor young man was very busy. Flautas were bland, no flavor in the chicken. My son who will eat anything also said his carne asada fries were bland no flavor. I found the prices to be a little high, tacos were in the 20 dollar range, with no sides... and if memory serves correctly it was 3 tacos you receive. Maybe for the side of town they are priced this way... I'm from West Phoenix and frequent a lot of taco places and it's not as pricey. But I didn't try them so idk if they are worth the cost. All in all our service is what stood out! Thank you young man for taking such good care of us. read more

The quality of food and the superb customer service was out of this world. From the drinks to the octopus appetizer everything we had was a 10/10 and that's rare to find all in one place. The authenticity of the food to the agave shot was like being in Mexico . I can't express how delicious everything was. Came in to celebrate my fiancé's birthday the staff was amazing by putting on the Mañanitas read more

This might be the best Mexican in AZ. The queso fundido is served with tortillas and unbelievable. My hubby had enchilada Sosa (something like that) and I didn't I clued a pic but he couldn't stop talking about it. Everything was a 10 out of 10. We will be back. The inside is absolutely adorable. It's kind of hidden but absolutely worth the find! read more

We decided to try Corazon de Agave because I had on my list for awhile and the reviews seemed great. In the end we had an okay experience but we were not overwhelmed and probably will not be back. Important point: Prices are very reasonable and probably low for Scottsdale. First let me start by saying potentially the main problem: the night we went (a Tuesday), the place was packed but the restaurant was dramatically understaffed. The servers were working very hard and trying their best (even with annoying customers) so I don't fault them. They also did warn us that food would be slow coming out (the food wasn't slow once we ordered). But in the end the lack of appropriate staffing did affect our experience. Management needs to hire more people, pay more, or somehow handle this issue. Seat less people or something. I don't know but it wasn't good. Starting with cocktails, my husband had a margarita. It was extremely watered down and basically tasted like water. It literally tasted like a watered down drink that someone had topped off with ice. Pretty disappointing. In sharp contrast, I had some type of hibiscus spritz cocktail. It was amazing and perfectly done. I would have had another but the server had no time to check on us. This was the best item I had on the menu. We asked for chips and salsa. Something I always look forward to. We eventually got them- not as an appetizer but with our meal. It was ok and the sauces were hot! Unfortunately we were still waiting for water by the time I was eating those chips and my mouth was on fire. Had to stop eating them. For dinner, I ordered the birria tacos. They were fine but light on the meat. Consomme was also fine but I have definitely had better. My husband had carne asada tacos. Mediocre and plain. Took a long time to get our bill and even longer wait for a to go box. I was ready to go by the time we could finally leave especially since I had been out of a drink for awhile. I did see several people eating a bone in pork or lamb dish that looked quite good. The enchiladas also looked good! Unfortunately I won't be back to try them. There's too many other nearby options. read more

Really enjoyed Corazon de Agave. We ordered the molcajete and the enchiladas banderas. For drinks, I tried the cucumber jalapeño margarita and the pineapple margarita. The restaurant itself is really cute. We went on a Saturday evening and were seated right away, though it did get busier as the night went on. The service was great, and the staff gave helpful food and drink recommendations. The food was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The molcajete was much bigger than I expected and came with chicken, beef, shrimp, cactus, and grilled cheese. The shrimp, cactus, and cheese were my favorites, and the beans and sauce were so good. The enchiladas banderas were filled with chicken and came with three different sauces, all delicious. The red sauce was my favorite. I also really loved the refried beans. My favorite margarita was the cucumber jalapeño. It was so tasty. I definitely recommend checking out Corazon de Agave if you are looking for an elevated Mexican food experience with fresh flavors. I already have a few things I want to try the next time I visit. read more

We ate here for the first time today. The food and service were excellent. Chicken enchiladas mole, margaritas, chicken enchiladas verde, fajitas (chicken, shrimp, steak) were all excellent. Our server was friendly, professional, answered our questions and gave us great recommendations. Generous portions. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back. read more

This place was HOPPING!! Definitely recommend you make a reservation. Especially on a Friday night. Wow! This place was jam packed. It was great to see. Especially for a small local business. I love seeing them busy. The house Margarita was potent and delicious. Would order again & recommend. Yummy yummy! I ordered the fajitas. My friends ordered the el pastor tacos & the pescado tacos, as well as the tortilla soup. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING disappointed. Everything was so jam packed full of flavor and happiness. I couldn't imagine a better meal to share with friends. It did get to be a bit noisy because of how small it is inside but otherwise, you adapt pretty well. The servers are all excellent and attentive. Presentation of the food and drinks were fabulous. If you haven't been here, do yourself a solid & come check it out. Prices are BEYOND reasonable. read more

This place is a home run. Great service and nice ambiance but the food is off the charts. I believe this is one of those places where you could literally order anything on the menu and leave very happy. I'm told the cocktails are sold too - but I think the pics on this review say it all. I can't say enough good things about this place - I HIGHLY recommend. read more

We just visited for our first time (found it on yelp) and this place is an anomaly for me. First impressions were great! Friendly hostess greeted us immediately and showed us to a table, asking if it was to our liking. Then Alejandro came by to ask about drinks and answer questions. The place itself is clean and nicely decorated, and the chairs were really comfy. The "hot salsa" is freaking HOT! I learned that the hard way, but the bean dip was delish. The prices of the food were higher than I would've thought that area could support, but the cost as well as the menu descriptions had me expecting tiny food with lots of fluff (more fashion than function, if you will). But what we got was exactly the opposite. My husband ordered the three carne asada tacos. Neither of us have ever seen so much meat in a taco, even when we make them at home. It was literally meat to the very rim of the tortillas! And then there were a few sides -- onions, tomatoes (I think), and something else -- and that was it. No foo-foo sauce drizzled all over it. We weren't sure what to make of it, but one thing is for sure, the excess meat is why the prices are as high as they are. I had enchiladas suiza, which came with sides of rice and beans, and they were fantastic! The prices also have to support a full bar license rather than just beer and wine, and I'd like to return for a dinner and try a margarita because if they're pouring their tequila like their serving their meat, I'll only need one drink before I'm calling a Lyft! I would certainly recommend the place to non-foodies, who prefer to eat their food over taking pictures of it. The leftovers alone will easily get us through another meal! read more

Alejandro is amazing and very personal. The enchiladas suizas and mole were great. I noticed two birthday celebrations and realized they put balloons out for the the tables before they get there. The place has a small local feel but has been ten outta ten every time I've come in. I highly recommend it read more

We went for our first meal here because it was rated so high on Yelp. It was good. I think that the other server, that we did not have, was better. It seems that on Tuesdays they have a special on their tacos so the place was full of people ordering tacos. Our server's English was minimal and he mumbled, so we did not understand that. My husband ordered the only tacos that were not on sale. Oh well. I think that I had the flautas and I appreciated that they made them onion free for me. read more

Most of everything were amazing ! The server was attentive and sweet. We went on a Monday, not too busy; steady flow of customers for 6 o'clock. They offer happy hour which is always a great bonus. Drinks were still pretty strong . Their guac was creamy and tasty! salsa was super delicious and had a kick to it ! Portion was big enough to share. Fajitas had a giant pile of meat. I really enjoyed the enchiladas!!!!! Steak can be cooked a little longer but we were fine with it because I know we would take home and re heat for left over. Overall, everything was excellent!! The only thing was the bathroom was kind of dirty and smelled a little . read more

Corazon De Agave - Just tell them the crunchy pork and the guacamole! - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Absolutely disappointing experience. I kept seeing this place all over social media with glowing reviews, so I went in with high expectations, but it didn't live up to the hype at all. To start, the receptionist was rude and came across as pretentious, as if this were a Michelin-star restaurant, when in reality they're serving items like chips and tacos. We initially tried to make a reservation but were turned away, so we agreed to be put on the waitlist. She told us it would be about 30 minutes, but we ended up waiting for an hour with no update. When we finally went back to ask, we were told there were no seats available--no explanation, no apology, nothing. The lack of basic customer service was frustrating. I'm honestly surprised by all the positive attention this place gets online. There are plenty of great Mexican restaurants in Arizona that actually deliver both good food and good service. This one just isn't worth your time or money. read more

Shrimp was okay. There really wasn't much to the dish. Rice comes in an extremely small cup. I would come back to try a margarita.

SADLY OVERRATED At the time of this review, the restaurant had a 4.7 rating, which set high expectations for our visit. Unfortunately, our experience last night did not come close to that. This was the first time I have ever had to ask for salt and pepper at a Mexican restaurant. We shared the molcajete, and it had almost no flavor. The food was very under seasoned and disappointing overall. The service also fell short, especially considering the restaurant was only about half full. We waited around ten minutes before even speaking with our server, another ten minutes to place our order and receive water, chips, and salsa, and about twenty minutes after ordering before our first margarita arrived. We walked in excited based on the strong rating, but the combination of slow service and bland food was a letdown. I ended up taking the leftovers home just to add seasoning and make my own quesadilla. On a positive note, the interior is very nice and well decorated, although there is a large painting on the west wall that looks like it may not be securely mounted. I hope this was just an off night, because the space and reputation suggest the experience should be much better. read more

As soon as we arrived we were greeted and seated. We had a father and son tag team serving us. We had delicious Cadillac Margs. My hubby was so excited to order the cochinita pibil but unfortunately they didn't have any that night. They recommended the tampiquena however the two enchiladas that accompany the dish were all chicken offerings. He asked if they can make them with pork instead and they accommodated. His dish was nicely planted and the steak was cooked med rare just like he ordered. My meal was the verde enchilada. Comes with three but I only ate one as I full from the chips and salsa. It was good and saucey. We ordered churros to share. I only ate one and he had the rest. Both Alejandro and Alberto were super friendly and made us feel welcomed. We will be back for sure! read more

I'm hesitant to post this because I'm afraid too many people will try this small, but amazing restaurant. The options are amazing and the chief is probably the best Mexican chef in the Phoenix area serving some of the best Mexican food I've ever had.

Like many others, we saw this place on IG and wanted to try it. We drove out of our way, about 45min+ from our house. The place inside was cute. I was happy about the little purse hooks on the table (iykyk). The outside area, not so much. It's on the corner of a strip mall, there was some etched graffiti on the outside windows, which made you aware of the area you were in. (That's the reason for the 1 star deduction.) The place is very small! So yes, you WILL want to make a reservation. We went around 3:30 on a Friday and I would say 3/4 of the tables had reserved signs on them starting at 5pm on up. The receptionist was constantly back and forth looking at them and moving them around to make space for walk-ins. I would skip bringing your kids here. I didn't use the restroom so idk if that was nice or not. The food was fantastic! And the portions were big. The price matched the portions and quality in our opinion. It's hard to find quality food that's worth the cost lately. We enjoyed the chips and salsa. And hubby ordered a Mexican coke, and the server brought him a frosty glass for it. Everyone around us looked like they were enjoying their food. Our server was great. He chatted with us for a while when we told him about seeing the place on IG. He was grateful for the customers. But admitted, it's caused an influx of people and the 'regulars' have become annoyed. Which is understandable. We'd definitely come back if we're in the area but probably not drive that far out of our way again. read more

First time here during vacation. Located in an outside shopping area with plenty of parking. This establishment is impeccably clean including the bathroom. Decorated modern and beautifully. A very nice touch is that each table has a purse hook at the corner. Service was great. Staff were very nice. Waiter attentive. Food was average which is why I rated a 4. However, portions were pretty size-able. read more
