Atmosphere: The vibe is chill. Good for date night and small group dinner. Price & Value: Prices are reasonable for what you get.

Went back tonight and am still in love with this place. There has been an ownership change and a few tweaks to the menu. Our server was very friendly and welcoming. He gave great input into his favorite items and I got the cochinita pibil. It was very good. Tons of flavor and made correct. My wife had the enchiladas suizas which were amazing. There was three and a great value. Lastly my mom got the beer battered fish tacos and she said they were the best she's had in Phoenix. So glad this place changed hands but still hits all the marks. We will be back soon read more

Are you looking for a waitress on skates!? I'm not sure where you come up with this rating!!!! Maybe a bad night? Maybe something out of the ordinary happened but this place is REALLY good and the service was five star worthy. The dining room is simple, the music was a little odd but who cares.

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

Very dumb pricing. Menu says 3.5% added to all tabs so they can pay "higher wages." Please. Is this the dumbest thing ever? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE between automatically adding 3.5% to all tabs or just raising all menu prices 3.5%???? So deceptive. Also, most other places that have a similar note will say "if you wish to have this charge removed please let your server know." Their prices are already too high. Plus I'm sure they want you to tip ON TOP of the 3.5%, making it more like 4.5%. Suggestion to guests: reduce your tip by 4.5% to compensate. read more

This place was an unexpected gem in a random plaza. We saw that on weekends we should go early due to limited size of place and we got there at 5 on Saturday. Seemed to be a good move on our part. We started with margaritas and agua frescas and they did not disappoint. We opted for chips and guac and were stoked because the guac was fresh and the salsas and bean dip was delish! We had both rojo and negro mole as well as quesabirria tacos and we couldn't have been happier. Everything was so fresh and incredibly tasty. Service was excellent. The restaurant itself was decorated really cute inside. I'll def be back and so will my friends! read more

The restaurant was nice in the decoration. Cute set up. The service was prompt and attentive. Over all the food was good. Just more on the bland side for what I am use too. Nothing wrong, just not to my taste. 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. Left my family waiting and literally never called us to be seated. We just left. read more

Honestly had really high hopes but was let down. Not sure if it was an off night but our service was slow from the start. Unattentive to say the least. The enchiladas were alright, kinda bland, chicken not seasoned. Fajitas were the star, really good and tons of protein. Queso fundido was underwhelming, cheese got pretty gummy. Overall not sure if it was an off night but unfortunately wasn't to excited about it. read more

I loved eating here and will definitely return. Cadillac margarita was very good. My friends and I shared the Queso fundido with chorizo. They ordered different enchiladas plates and I got a mix of three different tacos. The food was delicious. Well prepared, and nicely plated. The service was excellent. The menu was described with passion and any option you need to alter or enhance the flavor or spice was offered. I got the feeling that they know their food is good, but want to make it exceed your expectations. I liked the design and decor of the inside also. It made for a nice ambiance. I'll be back and you should try it also. read more

The was not all that at all for a party of 14 and only get one drink per person and the bill to be almost $900 was Ridiculous and then we asked them to do separate orders for all the parties in a separate check, they still charged a 20% tip, regardless on every single bill.And I think it was just ridiculous , giving them almost a $140 in tip was just Ridiculous, the food was not seasoned at all.The chicken was so overcooked and dry.It was horrible the Molcajete has no flavor the meat was dry No seasoning I Should have just went to maple and ash and would have been worth the money and the food would have been better. We did tell them the food was cold and the chicken was so dry and all they said is sorry and never did anything about it I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone for good food at all I got the 8oz steak with Enchiladas and it was cold when it came to me, my husband is the only one that got his food that was hot bc he got the Fajita steak plate My mom got the steak and shrimp.Her shrimp was cold cold.Her steak was dry and burnt and nobody wanted to complain to me about it because it was my birthday and it was just a horrible experience with the birthday dinners read more

Walked in around 4 PM and the place was so quiet I almost missed it, but I'm so glad I didn't. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food was absolutely out of this world. Honestly, it was even better than Javier's in Newport Beach. Everything was full of flavor and beautifully made. I definitely recommend coming here to try it. Plus, they have karaoke on Thursdays, and their brunch menu looks amazing. I already know I have to come back for that! read more

We like to try new places and Corazon De Agave caught our eye. While the exterior is consistent with the typical mall restaurant drab design, inside this eatery is utterly charming! Comfortable seating, bright surroundings, and a true Mexican vibe lends itself to feeling like you're on vacation. There is a cute bar and a combination of high tops and customary tables and chairs. Unfortunately the day we visited there was only one server on the premises but we will presume that someone had called in sick that day. You can't go wrong on the food. Scrumptious quesa fundidos with chorizo crumble was served but I recommend they bring more than 3 tortillas to the table. Steak tacos were good and the chicken tortillas were totally delicious!! The prices are on the high side, making it somewhat difficult to try an assortment of offerings. Drink prices are also high, and I believe slightly lower prices would result in more rounds being purchased. The flan is to die for. All in all a great experience at a local Mexican restaurant which will have you going back for more! read more

We came in on a Sunday for lunch after reading some reviews online. It's a cute place with a modern design. The bar area is small but well stocked. It has an upscale feel and the restaurant area was very clean. We were promptly seated and our server brought a small plate with nice thick tortilla chips, 2 different sauces and a small dish of bean dip. The menu had a great selection of items including choices from their lunch menu. My husband ordered Taco De Pescado and I chose Quesabirrias With Consome. I enjoyed my lunch (although my dish was a bit greasy and needed an acidic element to cut the fat) and my husband really loved his tacos. The service was also stellar; our server was attentive and check on us several times. Their green chili sauce was seriously good enough to drink! We will be back! read more

It was ok. My daughter liked it but I didn't. I ordered the chiles rellenos, they lacked flavor. My daughter got their enchiladas she liked them them. I did like their chips and salsa, I also ordered their sopetitos but they were just OK, my daughter liked them more than I did. The service was good, our server was very friendly. This place serves Mexican food but the music was nothing close to Mexican music. Very americanized cousine. For me the food needed more salt, more flavor. read more

Amazingly friendly service and delicious food! The Queso Fundido very literally made me want to lick the plate! The fresh tortillas took it to the next level! My friend had the chicken fajitas and was as impressed by the flavors as she was by the huge portions. The cochinita pibil literally melts in your mouth! It could have been a touch more flavorful but I dropped a dollop of the fundido on top and the game was changed!! Top it off with a $5 Happy Hour Tajin rimmed margarita and you're talking about a time you'll enjoy as much as your tastebuds! read more

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

Me and my family stopped by here on a Sunday. We were told it would be a slight wait until we could be seated but no problem! We don't mind waiting. About 10 mins later, the host told us our table was ready and seated us. We were browsing the menu and were so excited to try everything, especially the drinks! We had been sitting at our table for about 20 mins and no one had yet to greet us. No one brought us water, no one took our drink order, no one greeted us. Nothing. For 20 mins. My entire family works in the service industry so we're very understanding people but this experience was terrible. If they were busy/running behind/understaffed, then the staff could have at least greeted us and let us know that they were busy, but no. Literally nothing was said to us for 20 mins. And it's not like the restaurant is really big and they missed us. We were 10 feet from the host stand. But still no one noticed. It was even more frustrating because the tables to our left and right had their servers attending them very well. But we were overlooked. One of us finally got up to tell the host that we had not been helped at all and she had the nerve to say "oh really?" I find it very hard to believe she didn't notice considering we were sitting 10 feet away from her. After that we just got up and left. We went outside and some guy (I'm assuming the manager or owner) followed us out and apologized. He said a mistake was made and invited us back in. But after our terrible experience we did not want to go back in at all. It was completely unacceptable to not have been greeted for 20 mins. We had also seen this same exact guy earlier talking on his phone by the bar and not helping take care of customers at all. Terrible service. It's sad cause the food and drinks did sound really good! But the service was absolutely horrendous. This place has a lot of potential but will not last very long if they can't improve on their customer service. read more

Spiffy new place in a suburban strip mall with high end Mexican cuisine and a modern vibe. Sis and I went for a Thursday night dinner after 7pm. No wait for seating in this overly bright, white room with wood lamps and green plant accents. Lovely bar along the back. Our server was friendly and efficient, with a very quick turnaround on drink orders and water refills. We started with guacamole and chips, which was an immediate photographic opportunity because it looks different, using cubes of avocado for a beautiful change of pace. Chips were light and not too salty. Sis ordered garlic shrimp and I had the chicken enchiladas Suizas. Both came with a different rice. The shrimp were fully cooked but not as browned as we would prefer. Nice flavor. Salad of lettuce, cucumber, tomato and avocado came with the shrimp. The rice with this plate was a buttery white rice. The enchiladas Suizas were gooey with a succulent green sauce, crema drizzle and packed with shredded tender white meat. I ate only half of the three. The red onions on top were way too thick. Otherwise lovely. This dish was accompanied by a nice orange Spanish rice with a few peas. Very enjoyable and good quality and preparation. I also had a house margarita for $5 with a tajin rim. It was a pretty large glass, although not super strong it had a nice flavor and was clearly not from a bottled mixer. I appreciate an affordable cocktail even outside of happy hour! This was a pleasant, well executed meal and someplace I would gladly revisit. read more

An absolute gem! Every dish we tried was bursting with fresh, authentic flavor--from perfectly seasoned tacos to vibrant ceviche made with the freshest seafood. My husband, who is from Mexico City, was curious about how the Al pastor is prepared, and the chef came out personally to explain the preparation and even brought a sample--it was phenomenal. The ambience is warm and beautifully designed, the cocktails are creative and balanced, and the service was both warm and attentive. This is upscale Mexican dining done right, and we can't wait to come back for more! read more

Came in with high hopes... left confused and won't be back. Host was great--the food wasn't. The chicken tortilla soup looked good but tasted off. Enchiladas had that canned chicken vibe, and the tacos were forgettable (all was not lost, our pup got some "carne asada" for dinner). Loud, cramped, and not worth the hype. 2/5. read more

Probably the worst Mexican food ever eaten. The chicken in the Fajitas was such a joke and we felt we were eating at a Chinese restaurant as it was shredded and not sliced. They had no authentic Mexican flavors and were sautéed on a skillet with salt and black pepper. It was not even charcoal grilled as other high end restaurants do. The salsa and chips were ordinary and had no wow factor. The server even charged us $2 extra for 2 tortillas that we ordered. She could be more transparent and communicated that to us prior. No other restaurant does this. Restroom fragrance was full of bleach and smelt terrible. Overall, extremely disappointing and fell short in every aspect. read more

This was the second time a friend of mine and myself went to eat at Corazon. 1st time was way too busy and could not get in. We just happened to arrive earlier this time. While I thought the chips and salsa were good I have had better at other places. I ordered the 3 tacos. Good but again other places better. But the prices are quite high IMO. 3 tacos and an iced tea to drink came to almost $36.00, and with tip over $42.00 which is ridiculous. I wish them the best of luck but it is too pricey for me. read more

Stopped in while waiting to check into our hotel for the week, so glad we did. Hubby was unsure of the menu since his go to favorites are nachos and Chimichangas, but he ordered the enchiladas suiza's and really liked them. I ordered the Corazon salad with shrimp. So yummy! Perfect blend of flavors. I know I'm going to dream about that salad! For an appetizer we order the guacamole. It came out with chunks of avocado in it and was served with a side of mild green and spicy red salsa. With a side of refried beans as a dip. So tasty! We definitely would eat here again! The restaurant was decorated very nicely and the bathrooms were clean and smelled nice. read more

A beautiful place with modern decor, I especially loved the light fixtures. Our server was kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We were the only people dining-in the whole time we were there, but it did seem like there were a few take out orders. I love Mexican food, but was in the mood for a salad. The salad was amazing with lots of generous amounts of all the ingredients and the shrimp were perfectly grilled. The salad had all the toppings in little piles on top; as I struggled to mix it without making a mess, I wished I had asked for a plate to serve it on. By the time I reached the bottom, the ratios were off and it was mostly just the lettuce. I also wish the music had been a little quieter, we struggled to hear each other talking and felt like we were shouting. They were kind and did turn it down when we asked, but this is a detail that should be considered by the staff from a weekend night volume to a weekday lunch volume. read more

At my age--older than dirt and twice as wise--I've seen restaurants rise and fall, flavors perfected and butchered, service polished and disastrous. Corazón de Agave? A place with promise, but one that left me more hungry than happy. The Good: Tasty food - The flavors are there; the carne asada is well-seasoned, and the enchiladas have depth. Lovely ambiance - A warm, inviting space, perfect for a leisurely meal... if only the meal would arrive. The Bad: Service is painfully slow - Plates arrive at random, if at all. Orders forgotten, sides missing, confusion reigns. Portions are small - Delicious, yes, but hardly a meal. One expects satisfaction, not a snack. Inconsistent experience - Some tables served quickly, others ignored, as if a lottery determines who gets fed. Final Thought: I came in hoping for a feast and left contemplating a second dinner. Corazón de Agave needs to tighten its service and portions if it wishes to earn its name. For now, it is more of a whisper than a heartbeat. read more
