I would have given five stars except the bar didn't deliver our house Margaritas in a timely way. I am pretty sure he gave our drinks to another table and after 15 minutes I finally went to the bar and was handed two drinks one of which had paprika which we didn't order or want. Now for the food. The tacos can be ordered with any type of meat or potatoes or black beans if you are vegetarian. We also got nachos that had a good helping of black beans. There were other vegetarian options like pinto beans, cheese or bean enchiladas, quesadillas, bean burritos. And you can modify order for vegan preference as well. Again the food quality and vegetarian/vegan options was worthy of five stars, but the bar service dropped my rating to a 4.

The chips and salsa brought out were fresh and delicious. We liked the kids menu and the options that were available. We shared the molcajete and were super impressed. We were told later that most people don't finish it if they eat it alone and I believe it because the portion was so generous. The chicken and steak were thin but well cooked and seasoned. The cactus and vegetables and grilled queso were flavorful. The sauce tied everything together and the bacon wrapped shrimp was so yummy. In addition to a giant bowl of flavor, we got a plate of rice, beans, guac/sour cream/pico, and tortillas. The inside was clean and had some fun decor. The team taking care of us was attentive. The margaritas were flavorful, well priced, and tasted as fresh as the fruit in them. I plan to go back the next time we are in town to try some more of their many options.

Chips were fresh, crispy and warm. Salsa was very good. Guacamole was great. Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had - anywhere, including trips to Mexico.

On and on, the hospitality industry offers us endless types of opportunities for an evening out. I worked in fine dining long enough, so that now, I just want to feel good, which is exactly what you get at Agave. The sweetest people work here, and the mood is defined by warmth, health, and solid technique, which makes all the difference. After all, Mexican food uses the same ingredients; too often that means basic, flavorful, yet heavy food. Not at Agave. The tacos were large yet light. The empanadas were exquisite. The chips--some of the best I have had, thin and brittle on the teeth, and absolutely ungreasy. The drinks--two different types of margaritas, jamaica and sandia, were refreshing. Wow, Agave surprised us!

In a dining landscape often cluttered with performative fussiness, Cocorico on North Ist Street…read moreoffers a welcome recalibration. Chef Nat Borsi's modern Mediterranean haven is a testament to substance over style, a place where "farm-to-table" isn't a marketing slogan but a palpable ethos. The menu, which deftly avoids the trap of being overextended, delivers singular triumphs. The Mushroom Bolognese is a masterclass in vegetarian depth, a richly savory ragout that satisfies on a primal level. The house-made pastas shine; the Lamb Bucatini offers meaty, soulful complexity, while the Seafood Pasta is a testament to the pristine ingredients of the Pacific Northwest. For the carnivore, the Roasted Chicken is a beautifully simple, perfectly executed dish that speaks to the kitchen's bedrock technique. With service that is as warm as the intimate, welcoming ambiance, Cocorico is not just a meal-it's a cornerstone of the Ashland dining experience.

I'm really glad I listened to all the good reviews here on Yelp. Cocorico is a great restaurant. I…read morewas able to score a reservation for dinner about a week before we traveled to Ashland. Our table was in their patio space, which I actually like better than the indoor part of the restaurant. The patio space feels very open and has a lot of live plants in the planters that make space between tables. It was a little warm on the patio since it was 98 degrees outside, but they keep it relatively cool on this mostly enclosed patio. Our server was great. She was so friendly and fun to talk to. She helped us figure out what we wanted to order and checked in on us just the right amount. You can tell the food here is very fresh and homemade. We started with the Deviled Eggs, which are really special. I love how they serve them over a bed of crushed up potato chips as they give this dish some salty crunch. Next we had the Beet salad, which is marinated beets over a whipped cheese. The beets do have a strong vinegar flavor, but it's balanced out beautifully by the cheese. My wife ordered the Mushroom Bolognese, which was probably the best dish of the evening. This is an incredible, vegetarian dish that is so meaty without any meat. The finely diced mushroom sauce is so good along with the handmade noodles. Also, adding burrata to it gives it a perfect creaminess. I ordered the pork chop, which was also excellent and enormous. It did take me a lot longer to eat since it was a little hard to cut, the compote on top added a great sweetness, but I feel like it could've used more. Also, the polenta and grilled asparagus was awesome. Lastly, we got the Rice Pudding for dessert. It comes with a hazelnut crumble and a dolce de leche sauce. Normally, I feel like rice pudding has a kind of thin, milky consistency, but not this. It is think and has a wonderful texture. It is probably the best rice pudding I've ever had. The nuts give a satisfying crunch and the dolce de leche sauce is light and sweet. Disclaimer: we did order one dish we really didn't like. It was a special salad with endives and lentils. The server was happy to get us another dish.

Since I was out of town, he shared some recommendations for me that were worth a visit. + Portions were decent. CONS: - I ordered the carne asada plate. It came with rice and beans. It was supposed to come with a side of tortillas, but it didn't make it into my order. First of all, the meat was not good. There was no flavor, it was dry, and it had a game-y taste to it. - I placed an order on the phone, so we can pick it up. I still had to wait an extra 10+ minutes to receive my food. There was no one dining at the time also.

I've been visiting this spot since I first moved to Ashland in 2022, but I'm disappointed to say…read moreI've noticed a steady decline in meat quality over that time. Speaking, the brisket in the Banh Mi was unfortunately tough and lacked the tenderness you'd expect from a properly smoked or braised cut. It had the distinct texture of a pre-packaged Sysco-style product, or perhaps it was a cold portion reheated on a flat top without being properly rehydrated, leaving it dry and chewy. I understand that protein carries a high food cost, especially in the current market. However, a more effective approach might be to balance the menu engineering by leaning on lower food cost items, like seasonal sides or creative vegetarian options, to offset the expense of sourcing and correctly preparing higher-end brisket. This would allow for a better product that justifies its price point, covers its own cost, and ultimately helps the company's bottom line while maintaining the quality standards this town deserves. I'd love to see a return to the quality I experienced a few years ago. All and all, despite the brisket. The service was kind and friendly.

This place truly exceeded our expectations. I love that the restaurant store front is opened wide, it makes it easy to approach and order at the counter. They have a very large variety of alcoholic drink options and some very tasty non alcoholic options as well. Even though we sat outside about 5 tables down, they still came by to deliver our food to us instead of having us waiting inside. The food was amazing. Meat was juicy, bread was perfect, both the sides of fries and house made chips were delicious. The ranch tasted like it was house made as well but I forgot to ask them. My cider was great and my partner got a strawberry slushy- both did not disappoint. The overall theme inside is adorable! It's got a lot of wooden pieces and a camping trailer inside really ties the theme together nicely. There is plenty of tables and shade outside and lots of indoor seating as well. Bathrooms are super clean and clearly well maintained by the folded toilet paper roll. The only thing I will say is if you're going to sit outside expect outside things to happen. There was a lot of flying debris from around the creek due to someone down the way doing outdoor maintenance. Despite this, my partner and I thought it was worth it to hear the running water and be in such a beautiful area for lunch. I would scream my recommendation from the roof top if I could. Thank you for a great meal!
