I really hate writing this review because I remember Agave & Rye when it first opened in Covington…read moreand I was genuinely impressed. Was it authentic Mexican food? No. But that wasn't really the point. It was creative, fun, and, most importantly, the food was GOOD. I still remember those original chips thin, crispy, fresh and almost addictive. The pico was vibrant and fresh, the flavors were balanced, and the birria was easily my favorite thing on the menu. Not every taco or dish was amazing, but I never left feeling like I'd had a bad meal. Over the years, I've probably stopped back in once a year or so, and unfortunately, each visit seemed to come with another noticeable decline in quality. Still, I kept trying it again because I remembered what Agave & Rye used to be. Then came today. We started with the crab cake bites. I'm sure there was crab somewhere in them, but the amount of cheese completely overwhelmed everything else. Then there were the chips. If you remember Agave & Rye's original chips, you'll understand my disappointment. These tasted mass-produced in the worst possible way and were nothing like what originally made them memorable. We also tried the steak egg rolls. They weren't technically inedible, but that's about the nicest thing I can say. The steak tasted frozen, the filling was mushy, and the entire thing tasted and felt like it had been prepared long before it ever reached our table. For my entrée, I ordered the Filthy Fajita, and this was where I was genuinely confused. Conceptually, I understand what they were trying to do. But the execution was dismal. The steak didn't taste or look as though it had ever touched a grill. It was pale, chewy and completely flavorless almost as if it had been boiled. Then it was piled into a mixture of onions, queso and Mexican rice that all became one big mush of textures and flavors. Had the steak actually been grilled with some char and seasoning, and had the individual ingredients maintained some texture and identity, I could probably have given the dish a 6/10. What I was served was honestly closer to a 2/10. Even the pico and salsa were disappointing. The pico was unevenly chopped with large pieces of onion overpowering everything else, and neither had the bright, fresh flavor I remembered. The salsa tasted more like puréed tomatoes than a finished salsa. My husband ordered three tacos, including the Bee's Knees and, I believe, the Alderman. His reaction was similar. The chicken was dry and tasteless, and his overall impression was that everything tasted frozen rather than freshly prepared. And that's ultimately the issue. Agave & Rye built its reputation on food that was unconventional, over the top and FUN but there was quality behind the gimmick. Somewhere along the way, that seems to have been lost. I still appreciate the atmosphere and their bar selection, but when it comes to the food, this was beyond disappointing. After giving it several chances over the years, sadly, this will likely be our last visit. I genuinely wish that weren't the case, because the Agave & Rye I remember from those early Covington days was something special.

The booths were comfortable. The menu, like in most Mexican places, is way too long and big. I always order fajitas at a new place as a barometer for quality. Well, quality I got. The flaming cheese fajitas with chicken and steak was a large portion with tender pieces of both meats that had a great grill flavor. There were plenty of mushrooms, onions, zucchini, and pepper slices to accompany the meat. The rest of the table had the quesadillas, a huge burrito, and the chili relleno. Everyone loved their dishes. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you are offered. We will go back!!! Highly recommend. I usually take pics, but was distracted by conversation.

Very wonderful quick lunch option! It is set up in the same way that Chipotle is, so you start with…read moreyour base (burrito, bowl, taco salad) and then add on all your toppings. When I arrived there wasn't a line, so we were able to get our food quite quickly. The restaurant itself is pretty bare-bones, so definitely more appropriate for a quick lunch rather than a night out. I went with the burrito bowl and chose the al pastor, arroz rojo, various salsas, sour cream, and guacamole. I love that they have different rice options. They al pastor was wonderful! I think that they could work on adding a bit more acidity to a few of their components, because without a bit of acid the flavors do start to blend together a bit too much. The serving is plentiful and very comparable to Chipotle (I was able to save some for leftovers). I think this is a great alternative to Chipotle and an opportunity to support local business. They also have tamales which were tasty! To note, they primarily have smaller two-person tables that can uncomfortably fit three people. If you are bringing a large group, you'll have to push tables together.

Finding a great Mexican restaurant is beyond difficult for me so I often make my own at home. I still try my best to find a place. It's a Saturday afternoon and the place is empty. That does. It always indicate if the place is good or bad. A few people came in after we ordered, a good sign. The service was very quick though most important pleasant. We ordered a veggie and a carne aada burrito. Unfortunately the burritos were cold. Could be the sour cream. The burritos had flavor though I am disappointed they were not hot. I'm happy I had medium salsa there was not as much flavor as I am use to. Yes, I have had better burritos but for the area these are much better than the most. The tables could be wiped down more. It's not pleasant walking past dirty tables looking for clean one. Will I give this place another try? Maybe

The waiter explained what was popular and told us must try's next time. The salsa was good, not chunky but it had a good flavor. The food came out and we were surprised how big the burritos were. And the were very tasty and the chicken had a good flavor. My wife never gets chicken because she likes ground beef but they didn't have that as a choice so she went with chicken. She liked the chicken so much that will be the protein of choice next time we go. We will definitely go back and I think this place will be one of our favorite Mexican restaurant that we will frequent. Service was great and they kept our drinks filled and were very friendly.

The tacos come on blue corn tortillas that are double-layered, super soft, and chewy. They really stuff the tacos to the brim, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. The staff are also incredibly generous and friendly. Some of them may not speak fluent English, but they're always so helpful and do their best to make sure you get what you need. And if you want an even better deal, Wednesdays are $2 taco days! I always end up grabbing a bunch to bring home for friends and family. It's honestly one of my favorite ways to feed a group without breaking the bank. The only thing to keep in mind is that the restaurant is a little out of the way and tucked away, and there isn't a dedicated parking lot. Street parking is your best option, but don't let that deter you--the tacos are worth the trip!

During covid they have all the salsa's outside in a cooler and provide gloves to grab extra condiments. Food was ready in about 3 minutes. Food is incredibly flavorful, the al pastor, lengua, asada, and pollo tacos were great. They are a little small, though I believe you get a good value for what you pay ($1 taco Wednesdays). The salsas were the best part, the green is very tangy and the red adds a good amount of heat. The tacos aren't very pretty but get the job done! Will definitely return.
