Corazon De Agave - Pork shank - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Food was good, service was great. When it came to the bill, it showed a party of 12 when it was just 2. Auto gratituty was added at 20%. So no additional tip was added on our part. Had they not done that, their tip would have been higher. It was off putting to assume the tip. Be sure to check your bill. read more

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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 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 - Grilled Octopus. - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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

Great food and even better service! The food was excellent--everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The space is modern and bright, creating a really pleasant atmosphere.

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.

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

After a long drive we were looking forward to a nice meal, after surfing yelp we decided on this place. We got there around six and the place looked pretty empty, We went up to the lady at the podium who asked us if we had reservations. Well no, no we did not. After some hyming and hawing we were seated at a table but we're warned that the table had been reserved and we might have to move. Ok... Food was not good at all, tortilla soup was the only good thing for me. Tacos de carne asada, dry as the desert surrounding us. Enchiladas de mole negro were not good, sauce was watery. Tiny cup of rice to go with that. We ordered the "chicharon a toda madre". What we got instead was the ribeye chicharrón . You would think that would be a win, but it was not. The ribeye was dry and again flavorless. It had a mild metallic flavor to it. The guacamole, missing salt and lime to anyone's taste. We told the waiter that he had given us a wrong order. He insisted we were wrong and what we were eating was Chicharron, pork belly. Maybe I'm going crazy, maybe it was the desert heat but that was not pork belly. We again brought it to his attention and he told us he was sorry that he misheard us. Damage done. Subpar food and subpar service. I mean, I guess it was food so I guess I should just be happy for that but definitely not coming back. read more

This is our third time at this establishment and it never disappoints! We've had the taco trio - chicken - and the enchiladas Verdes. Delicious - very fresh!

Upscale Mexican restaurant with exceptional service. Food was fresh and delicious. We ordered steak fajitas which came with all the condiments and 4 tortillas. Portion size was huge so I had leftovers for another meal. We also shared their agave salad which was absolutely perfect. All the veggies were so fresh and juicy. Hubby had tacos which he enjoyed very much. Enjoy! We sure did. Highly recommend!! read more

This was an excellent experience. Fantastic Mexican food. Go for more than tacos and burritos, their selections were diverse and tasty.

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. The service is truly out of this world and if this was closer to my house or my work this would be a weekly place to visit. 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

First time dining here and I had a lovely experience. The ambiance is beautiful, but be aware that it's fairly small restaurants so consider reservations or an early arrival, especially on weekends. I visited on a Wednesday evening with a friend and it wasn't too busy. The food was amazing - fresh, high-quality ingredients and visually stunning. Our server was friendly and attentive. I'd definitely return if I'm in the area again! read more

Disappointment. Would not recommend. I do not doubt that the food is good but we never made it that far. Made a reservation. Showed up. Was told I was getting the next table--he pointed to a specific one with a tale of ladies just about ready to leave. Then literally gave that table to someone who just walked in. Service is terrible.

This was our second choice the night we went but another place ran out of food. So we were running late having an event later that night. There was a large group bit they were wrapping up. The server was very friendly and we let her know our time crunch. We decided to order the fajitas to share as we saw the pictures looked generous and wanted to get some chips and a couple extra tortillas. I also ordered a guava margarita and loved it. I think our meal came out in less than 10 minutes. Very nice! The veggies had good flavor and I liked the chicken but my husband felt the chicken was a bit under spiced. Really tasty salty and greasy chips, hard not to eat them all. Oh and super friendly service and of course helpful as we got to our event with no issues. read more

This is not Valle Luna or Macayo's and if you've eaten there and want to take Mexican food up a notch, then you'll be very happy with Corazon De Agave! We sampled seven sauces and most liked the Creamy Green and Birria Red. Our dinner choices were Tampiqueña and the Taco Trio. The stars of the show were the Birria and Alejandro, our new best friend. There are so many interesting and unique items on the menu that I'm sure we'll be back soon and often. The cleanliness, ambiance and technology are noteworthy. read more

Corazon De Agave has great high end decor. It's one of the nicer Mexican restaurants I have been to in a while. We got the guacamole which was great as an app. It had enough to last for your entree food too. The margarita's were reasonably priced at $8 and were made well. We had the tacos for our entree. I got the Gobernador tacos and they were very tasty. I don't love corn tortillas but these were well made and the tortilla held together while eating. They had mole specials, but we opted for something more traditional on the menu. The servers were very attentive and polite. We will definitely be back to try some other food. read more
