Paula M.

My friend and I walked in as the restaurant was opening for lunch and were seated immediately. It was not super busy. The waitress, Marcia, was kind and very knowledgeable of the menu - including offering a barcode on the back to look at how each item was prepared. The service was 5 stars. The food (which is how I rate a restaurant): we ordered the ribeye aguachile for an appetizer, which was very flavorful, tender, and had a little kick. We enjoyed it a lot. We wanted the pork belly but it wasn't ready. For our meals, we ordered the quesabirria. It was a little oily with less cheese than I am accustomed. It also was a little soggy in some areas. The sauces were good that accompanied them. *** Overall, I'd come back to try more menu items!

No official parking nearby so would recommend taking public transport or ride share, got lucky with street parking ~0.3 miles away. Also tough to figure out how to get in. Once in the vibes were cool with very friendly staff. The food was also really good and reasonably priced. Overall would recommend going.

Make a reservation! Tried to walk in but they are so busy we had to book a table for the next night. The guacamole was delicious, but very pricey. I have never spent $18 on guacamole but it was worth trying once - would probably not order again. However, the elote was excellent and I would recommend it. All the entrees were very flavorful, maybe a tad salty, but everything was well cooked and portions were very fair. One thing to note is the seating is a little crowded and the restaurant is very loud inside, which makes it difficult to converse.

So I needed another bloody Mary but I couldn't find the spot. I came by here months ago for a lunch with friends as it popped up on my Yelp but it was closed.. I then was like ok let's try it I see a Michelada in my future meal plans. So I had the ceviche let the church say amen fresh fresh did I say fresh. The huge fresh shrimp perfectly cooked and avocado yes on top of the Ceviche. Michelada excellent. I also had there green chili enchiladas with steak, the tortillas taste freshly made I give the dish a 3 but based on my taste I like more of a tangy tomatillo for my green chili sauce. They were good just unexpected. If you want a more creamy sauce then it'll meat your taste buds. I definitely recommend

May 1 , Friday 7:00pm The hostess was horrible. We walked in and she told us they were not taking any walk ins just reservations. Never cared to tell us how to make on or help us with making one .. we left and made a reservation for 8:45 online. We came back same host attended us and turns out reservations were behind 30-40 min! It just didn't make sense. Thankfully they had a table on the patio and we got sat within 10 min of our reservation. Sitting in the patio though you dont get the fullest experience with the music and pretty walls ect.. the food was great I have no complaints there and the server Juan was too.

This is a must try in Phoenix! Exceptional customer service, Marcia gave us the best recommendations & everything we tried was delicious. I would comeback and order the same thing again. Interior is so clean, great elegant decor, lively music. The vibe is a classy, sophisticated, a place for a a fun night or a nice date. Overall a solid spot for a good time with good company. What we tried : Aguachiles ribeye 10/10 Birria Tacos 10/10 Chipotle Pasta 10/10 Drinks : ESPRESSO MARTINI (not too sweet, perfectly balanced) MOJITO (refreshing) LA BERRY NICE (pulpy! You taste the middle blackberries & raspberries, so refreshing) Dessert : Cheesecake 10/10

Very fun restaurant that has great drinks. We weren't 100% sure on what to order so the server brought us 5 of their most popular appetizers and everyone of them was great. We got the pork belly, elote, ribeye, and a few others! For dinner most of us had steak which was amazing especially since it comes with a quesadilla what a nice little paring! I would definitely go at night it almost looks like Cabo when you walk in! One thing didn't love was I would say it's a $$ to $$$ restaurant and they had the toast POS in their hands while taking orders. Such a small thing but I don't think this restaurant is casual enough for that especially with it being higher end Mexican.

Dining area. Super basic, not great, but they added black lights, ceiling inserts and hanging grass (?) to make it "trendy"?

I was super excited to try this place after seeing the reviews. But this was one of those experiences that just didn't work, where each step of the way was a trip-and-stumble and hot worse as it progressed. We ultimately left before we ate because it was a very bumpy road getting as far as we did. (1) Finding the place was tough, we walked a long way because it's very poorly marked on the outside. Navigating to the entry was gross, felt like walking through a small defunct shopping center with a hidden, but not really hidden, hallway. Getting to the hallway involved walking past a dirty old ice cream case covered in dirty cups and trash, dirty floor and walls, and down a urine and cannabis smelling narrow, gravel and dirt back alley. But before arriving inside, parking was beyond a nightmare. There's a "parking-lot" out back that's more like 500 giant potholes surrounded by crushed concrete and gravel surrounded by a chain link ghetto fence. On the building there are multi-step instructions for parking and paying on your phone, then theoretically getting it validated. It was pretty sweet (not!) because it only took multiple downloads and apps, 2 to 3 back and forth trips, multiple app errors, and 8 instruction steps to follow, ugh! When we finally got into the restaurant, the host told us we couldn't park where we did (in their lot!), after the kitchen worker sitting in the nasty, smelly ghetto-alley behind the restaurant by the parking lot told us we could park there and we should just follow the instructions on the signs. The host inside guaranteed we'd get towed from their lot because it was only for employees. What?! He said he could have anyone else in the restaurant verify that we'd get towed. Rather than disagree with him, even though the instructions said otherwise, I went to move the car for the third time (literally). As I walked out I noticed the same parking sign in the ice cream shop nextdoor. They kindly explained that it was fine to park there as long as we followed the instructions. So we broke out our phones and tried it, it failed. We were told we had to go back to the car and re-scan the parking QR code. So, once again I headed back to the car and re-scanned the QR code on the instructions. It failed again. I was required to fake the license plate so it would stop failing. It worked that time and once again headed back inside. Figured we'd sit at the bar for a little bit before going to our reserved table. Nope, there are only 4 - 5 chairs in the bar and "it was full",.... there were indeed 4 people there and since there were 3 in our party, we wouldn't fit. Right, 7 people can't fit in their bar, okay. Ambience was reasonable. Kind of comfy, but seemed the restaurant was trying hard to get from super basic to "kind-of-trendy"and wasn't quite there yet. Headed to the men's room to wash my hands. It was yucky in there, no hot water (hot water faucet didn't work), broken hand towel dispenser, generally dirty and not great. The food had to be good, right? Ummmm. Headed back to the table to look over the menu and order, though I honestly wasn't super psyched to stay there after the constant issues to that point. Ready for this? Drinks are around $25 each and entrees were around $65. Nope, done, got out of there. There was *no way* we were going to spend that kind of money in this place that had been purely challenging and gross. You know how on the surface, from a distance, Las Vegas seems cool with the lights and sounds, but when you get up close you realize it's dirty and gross? Similar feeling here. Maybe the food was so unbelievably incredible that it would have offset everything else, but I doubt it, that would have to have been some magical food. Based on my experience, I won't be back.

We were in the area for my son's graduation, and we just searched good food near us! This place popped up and waw all I can say is the presentation from walking up to entering is amazing! Very great vibe and the hostess were very kind and commentating as a party of 5 with no reservations they worked with us and sat us in their patio area. Very nice setting inside and out, we had Jorge as a server and I just have to say THE ABSOLUTE BEST SERVICE EVER! He was knowledgeable about the menu gave wonderful recommendations on food and drinks. He was honestly one of the best waiters we have had in a long time, checking in on how the food was, refills on drinks and he even surprised my son with a cheese cake and poster for graduation! Such a cool touch to set up our night! We had birria tacos with the great sauce and beans, three green sour cream steak enchiladas with a tasty salad and burger and fries! A few shots of don julio and a couple Mexican candy shots that Jorge recommended for me since I didn't want anything too harsh or strong! That was the BEST SHOT I EVER HAD! And will now be my go to!!! We will be back for more delicious food and great service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Que Chulo! Bold colors, photogenic cocktails, and a mouthwatering menu. Four of us rolled in on e-scooters during a downtown double date, and this instantly set the bar for the night. What we ate: Sonoran Shrimp Ceviche Pork Belly Chicharron Quesabirria Tacos Ribeye de la Casa Surf & Turf Cheesecake Everything was cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. The room was buzzing with birthdays and anniversaries--this is celebration food. We've talked about this meal multiple times since, which says a lot. I almost never revisit the same restaurant, but this menu is calling me back.

It's was an absolute pleasure dinning here today. We did not have a reservation at all, but they gave us a table for my party of 6 with in minutes. The food was a 10/10 from the chipotle pasta to the amazing margaritas. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful and amazing. The music was just perfect to the amazing staff. The host was very friendly and our waitress Marcia was very helpful on explaining and recommending things from the menu.

Viviana A.

My friend and I stopped by this restaurant after dinner elsewhere for a few drinks only. I really thought that restaurant was beautiful., the drinks were great, and the customer service was outstanding. We really loved our waiter. She really made us feel comfortable and explained to us about the cocktails we having. This spot is definitely a vibe. I will come back with the family and friends for birthday celebrations.

Miel de Agave is a lovely nee restaurant in downtown Phoenix. I love Mexican food, so I was excited to try them out. The entrance is photo worthy with neon signs and a cool backdrop as soon as you walk inside. I was greeted by two kind gentlemen in the host area and immediately seated. My waitress was super sweet and made some recommendations. I ordered the Infamous Birria Tacos with a side of beans. The beans were great, but the taco meat and dipping juice could have been more flavorful. It was still good, but flavors could be turned up a notch is all im saying. I forgot the name of the drink but it tasted great and was strong enough. Not watered down. I would definitely check out Miel de Agave again. read more

Cute new restaurant that just opened up downtown. Service was good up until it came time to pay and then our waitress seemed to disappear. The decor was a bit disjointed with the sign when you walked in looking very modern and chic and when you turned the corner it was like you were transported to a colorful Mexican restaurant. The two parts didn't really tie together. We were given good drink suggestions. Unique flavors with a pretty presentation. The queso fundido was delicious. I've read other reviews that said it was salty. With the roasted chile verde and corn in it I didn't find it to be salty and the tortillas were hot and tasted homemade. I really enjoyed the Baja tacos. They were some of the best fried avocado tacos I've had. The Sonoran tacos were a little difficult to eat because of how big the pieces of skirt steak were. Even tough to eat they packed a lot of flavor. Overall it was a great addition to the Roosevelt Row area and we will definitely be back to try other drinks and food in the future. read more

The steak was good and the service was friendly, but the atmosphere was a major disappointment. Rather than feeling refined or upscale, the space had an overly club-like vibe that made it difficult to enjoy a proper dining experience. We were seated directly next to the kitchen entrance, which was loud and disruptive, only adding to the already noisy dining room where guests spoke over one another. Overall, the lack of ambiance and basic dining etiquette among some patrons significantly detracted from what should have been an elevated meal. read more

Let me start by saying the vibe is very trendy! They have neon signs, darker lighting, loud music, and TVs playing music videos everywhere. It was a fun vibe, but not what I was expecting when I went with my husband, baby, and sister-in-law. We weren't the only ones with a small child, but I felt a bit out of place. Our server and other staff members were very friendly, but they definitely tried to upsell us on several items. The food was good, but it was expensive and the portions were so small I left hungry. I definitely feel like you're paying for the ambiance more so than for the taste of the food/drinks. Great place if you're looking for a nice date night or GNO, but not the best for a casual family outting, in my opinion. read more

I will start out by saying the space is lovely. Our friend ordered a beer and when the drinks arrived he was informed the keg was empty because it had been a busy week (crazy excuse). We were there on a Friday and they should have the kegs ready to go. He then ordered another beer and was told they were out. So the third choice arrived and it was not cold, so he went to the bar and got ice. Frankly our server was very condescending about the situation. We hoped the food would bail out the drink service debacle. Unfortunately it didn't, as the food was average at best. read more

The food is truly amazing. I had the Infamous Quesabirria - meat was full of flavor. The tacos weren't overwhelming - good food cooked right doesn't need much help. The sauces that came with it! So good!! Service was genuine and kind. Good people and good food!! Come see Amari at the bar he does an excellent job. read more

Miel de Agave was awesome! Great food, cool vibe, and Danelle totally made the night. She was super friendly, full of energy, and just on it the whole time. Gave us great recs, kept everything flowing, and made us feel like regulars. Menu is exceptional with classic dishes slightly reimagined to deliver the expected flavors but with a modern twist all the while keeping true to the origins of Mexican cuisine. Definitely coming back, and definitely asking for Danelle again. read more

Main level/Upstairs vibe is well-lit with a true cantina bar feel. High-top tables, seats at the bar & happy hour from 4-7 pm make it ideal for some $7 drinks!!. The collection of Tequilas is GREAT. Many of which do not contain additives. I won't lie, I thought I was a big fan until I realized I didn't recognize a lot of the tequilas they had on hand. Downstairs is a whole different vibe. Custom craft cocktails, dim lighting with artwork, and more make it feel like an upscale NYC spot in your basement.

It was busy, but not packed, which made the service stand out more than it should have. I had to ask for water twice, never got a refill, and overall felt largely ignored--minimal eye contact, no real warmth, just an impersonal feel that didn't match the space. It felt like a place that may be a bit of a victim of its own success--popularity has grown, but delivery hasn't fully kept pace. Part of the appeal here is the permanent taco truck outside, which I know from past visits is excellent, and I love the truck's outspoken, unapologetic support for immigrants. That said, the cocktail itself was excellent. I was specifically looking for a coffee-based drink before heading to another event, and the Cambures al Estilo Foster delivered on flavor. It was tiny, though--served in a small stemmed glass, gone in a few sips. It did the job, but some may find the portion underwhelming for the price. No major complaints, but nothing pulling me back either. I'm adding a fourth star on a bit of a hunch--I'd like to think they can dial it back in if I return.

This was not an issue, just one that was interesting, though the layout is small and the bathroom door is behind the bar seats, so it isn't the most comfortable location given the tight squeeze with foot traffic. The menu seemed focused on the cocktails, with a mixture of what might be considered and appetizer or main course mixed together. We got the watermelon and cucumber salad to start, thinking it would be refreshing after a long walk there in the heat. Both of us were shocked when the first notes of the watermelon were spicy. We read the menu and then understood that this was not meant to be a light bite. It was very enjoyable, but just a different taste than expected. We also got the Dan Dan Noodles. This had the spice expected. What was interesting was that the spices were almost exactly the same to the watermelon and cucumber salad. Not bad, but we probably would have ordered a different starter. We also ordered the streak bowl and the foccaccia with ricotta. The steak was incredible, and the highlight of the meal. This would have been better with more egg..not sure one full egg wad used? and less rice. The focaccia was warm and the ricotta with honey a nice palate cleanser before and after the meal. Overall, the food was good and the prices reasonable for the types of dishes. The old fashioned had nice herbal notes, and the service was quick.

My party and I had a reservation on a Saturday night at 9pm (when it's 13 people, what can you do). What kind of sucked though (and mainly why I'm deducting a star) is that we did wait an additional half hour to be seated after our reservation time. Our theory is that they didn't think the entire party would actually arrive, and they were not ready to accommodate us. To be fair, the restaurant IS on the smaller side, but there was 0 communication during that half hour on what was going on... which isn't really good for us either. We got the original set, and this somewhat confused me as well. The food was really good, and was definitely a restaurant that I'd go to for the experience, but for some reason some of the meats were doubled while others weren't. The double portions were really nice since our party was so large, we needed to split the food between 4 different grills (so each table got 2 grills each, feeding 6-7 people in total or 3-4 people per grill), but then we had to share the portions where we only got one serving. It wasn't bad, but to me, didn't make sense. The food was really good though; I didn't care too much about the soup, but the green sauce was SO good. Mixing a little with the soup was incredible. I thought the beef and pork were really good. I personally left the restaurant full, but many others in my party did not. I think it's a really good amount of food for 2 people, but when you push to 3+, you probably do not want to come hungry. Also--the live music at Pemberton next door is SO LOUD, you're going to be shouting at your table the entire night when you sit outside. I think I would come back if I wanted to show this place to someone who didn't live here, but it isn't on the top of my list for when I'm trying to eat out, but I will definitely consider this for special date night occasions. It is extremely expensive for what it is though. For $70+ you risk the chance of leaving not full which SUCKS.

This was my first time here and we were seated almost immediately. That was nice. If you decide to try it out, go around 7:30 wasn't packed. Our hostess was very sweet but attentiveness was not a strong suit. Our overall experience would be zero stars for the restaurant and how it's managed, if it were possible. 1. Our drink order was taken 10 min after being seated. It took a very long time to get any drink to the table this is water included. Unfortunately, we never received a few of the signature drinks that were ordered. Those drink are $20-$25. Also if you get beer there is an additional $2 charge. They couldn't explain that charge to us. Weird. 2. Food came out, not cold but not warm. Trying to not be harsh but not what was expected for $175 dish. The meat had very little flavor. The bone had little to no marrow. Also was missing food that was ordered. 3. There was one dish that was really nasty and it was El Aguachile. It was only agua, and I'm trying to be polite as possible. We asked for something else instead. 4. Bacon wrapped pepper shrimp poppers were good. 5. The manager was walking around and was asking how our experience was and my niece said horrible before his attention was directed to someone walking by. So when he turned back she brushed it off and looked the other way. 6. Manager made the hostess (don't like the word server ) bribe us with free desert if we left a yelp. So we said wonderful, a bill that is over $1200 with missing drinks and food, it should come with desert. 7. We made our reservation at 7:30. It took them til 11:45 to give us our check. No we weren't just sitting having a good time. At one point the employees came up to us letting us know that after 11:30 every single person in the restaurant will be getting a charge of $25 for a band that they had playing that night. Once we got the hostess attention she pushed back, now making our experience in perspective of her least satisfactory. She answered me, and I quote "let me provide bottle service to the table behind you because they're getting antsy and I'll come right over". They had just arrived, and I'm not kidding, 5-7 minutes before asking for the check, which was very disappointing to get that response from her. Still didn't see her and the band had started playing. We were asked to move from the table for another party and to avoid the $25 charge. Once we all pull out our payment methods they declined one of us for having $300 cash. At this point I thought we were being Punk'd, but Ashton Kutcher never came out. This is a very new restaurant and we did highly consider that. But we are NEVER go back.

This restaurant was, at best, an average experience. Given that Miel De Agave markets itself as a refined, upscale, date-night destination, I walked in expecting a warm atmosphere. Unfortunately, the ambiance fell noticeably short. While the concept suggests something intimate and sophisticated, the dining room felt underwhelming and lacked the charm and attention to detail you would expect from a restaurant charging premium prices. It simply did not deliver the elevated environment it presents itself to be. The service was also disappointing. Our server was prompt in introducing themselves, but beyond that initial interaction, there was little effort made to enhance the dining experience. There was no thoughtful engagement, no meaningful recommendations, and no sense of attentiveness that typically accompanies fine dining. At this price point, you expect service that complements and elevates the meal -- not just basic table maintenance. As for the food, it was adequate but far from memorable. We ordered the ribeye steak with lobster, hoping for a standout dish. While it was prepared competently, it lacked the depth of flavor and refinement that would make it worth returning for. Nothing about the meal inspired excitement or left a lasting impression. Overall, this is not a restaurant I would visit again. For the cost and the expectations set by its branding, the experience simply did not justify a second visit. Instead of feeling eager to linger and enjoy the evening, I found myself ready to leave. read more

Sure, here's a review for Mezcal de Agave, a taco restaurant: Mezcal de Agave is one of the best taco restaurants I have ever been to! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The decor is rustic and authentic, which sets the stage for the incredible food. The tacos are truly outstanding. The meat is always cooked to perfection; juicy and flavorful with just the right amount of seasoning. The toppings, from the pico de gallo to the cilantro, are all perfectly fresh and delicious. And let's not forget about the salsa! The restaurant offers a variety of salsas that all pack a punch of flavor and spice. What sets Mezcal de Agave apart from other taco restaurants is the incredible mezcal selection. The bartenders are knowledgeable and can make excellent recommendations based on your taste buds. The cocktails are all made with premium ingredients and are perfectly balanced. It's the perfect spot for happy hour or a night out with friends. Finally, the service is always top-notch. The staff are always attentive and friendly, making sure that you have everything you need to make your experience enjoyable. All in all, Mezcal de Agave is an absolute gem of a restaurant, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves delicious food, great drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere.

I recently dined at Miel de Agave and was impressed by the rich flavors and vibrant atmosphere. The culinary journey began with the "We Love Guacamole" paired with Pork Belly Chicharrón--a generous serving that beautifully balanced creamy and crunchy textures, perfect for sharing. The Tacos Dorados were delightful, with a comforting mix of potatoes and cheese. The Bacanora tacos, featuring bacon-wrapped shrimp, boasted a fantastic flavor, though they were slightly salty for my liking. However, the standout dish was the Mexico City Elote, served rib-style, which was simply excellent. Despite a bustling environment and the responsibility of our server Nancy having to be training a new server, our server provided commendable service, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The shrimp ceviche was another highlight, offering a refreshing and flavorful bite. The cocktail selection was intriguing, though somewhat mixed in its impact. I enjoyed two El Viejon cocktails--a Scotch Old Fashioned with Macallan 15--which, while a touch sweeter than my usual preference, were enjoyable. The steep price of $35 each, totaling $70 for the two drinks I had, was a bit of a surprise. Adding to the dynamic atmosphere, a live band played "Rock en Español," infusing the space with lively energy. Overall, Miel de Agave excels in delivering rich flavors and a vibrant dining experience, though some may find the drink prices quite steep. read more

From the moment I walked into Miel de Agave, I was blown away by the ambiance--warm, inviting, and full of character. The space perfectly balances modern elegance with authentic charm, making it one of the most stunning dining spots in Phoenix. I started with the guacamole, which was fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor, followed by the Mexican elote--an absolute standout with its smoky, creamy, and tangy layers that danced on the palate. For my main course, I had the surf and turf, and it was next-level: perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with rich flavors that left me speechless. To top it all off, I ordered their signature drink, El Beso. It wasn't just a cocktail--it was an experience. The flower bud that made my tongue tingle was unlike anything I've ever tried, adding a playful and memorable twist to the evening. Every detail, from the impeccable presentation to the friendly and attentive service, made the night exceptional. Miel de Agave isn't just a restaurant--it's a destination. I'll absolutely be back and will be recommending it to anyone who wants an extraordinary culinary adventure in Phoenix. read more

Miel de Agave is an absolute 10/10! From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Our server, Mercia, was truly amazing. She made my girls and me feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly quick with everything -- appetizers, drinks, and entrées all came out perfectly timed. Mercia took the time to explain the menu in detail and gave us great recommendations. We started with the aguachiles and calamari, and both were out of this world -- seriously 10/10 delicious. You can tell the food is made with quality and care. We were there for a girls' night out, and the vibes were exactly what we were looking for. The atmosphere is fun, stylish, and inviting, and the entire restaurant was spotless. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, having a night out with friends, or just craving great food and great energy, I highly recommend Miel de Agave.

Jasmine's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of her service--whether it was refilling our water glasses at just the right moment, checking in to ensure we were enjoying our meal, or offering a friendly and knowledgeable insight into the restaurant's signature dishes. Her professionalism and enthusiasm made the evening feel special, and it's clear that she's not just passionate about food but also about creating an exceptional dining experience for her guests. Thank you, Jasmine, for making our visit to Miel de Agave memorable. We'll certainly be back, and I highly recommend her service to anyone visiting this restaurant! read more

Food and service was excellent. Absolutely phenomenal dining experience! This Hispanic restaurant in downtown Phoenix exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and vibrant decor that set the perfect ambiance. The menu offers a diverse array of authentic dishes, each bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The tacos were some of the best I've ever had - the carne asada was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the handmade tortillas were simply divine. The house-made guacamole and salsa were fresh and delicious, adding just the right touch to our meal. The service was impeccable; our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. The margaritas were also outstanding, with a perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Overall, this restaurant is a gem in downtown Phoenix. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special night out, this place delivers on all fronts. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Miel De Agave is the real deal. We got the Birria Tacos and the Sonoran Shrimp Ceviche and both were honestly incredible. The birria tacos were messy in the best way possible -- rich, flavorful, and the consommé for dipping just took them over the top. Like I was soaking every last bite. The Sonoran Shrimp Ceviche was so fresh and had just the right kick to it, perfect starter honestly. The atmosphere in there is just chef's kiss -- great music, beautiful interior, feels elevated without being stuffy. Like it's the kind of place where you show up and immediately feel like you made the right choice for the night. Service was awesome too, our server was super attentive and clearly knew the menu well, made the whole experience that much better. Overall just a really solid night and I'm already thinking about going back. If you're in Phoenix and haven't been yet, what are you waiting for??

OMG! What a nice surprise! Our friends brought us to this little spot downtown and we went just to be nice...well...they were the ones who were nice! They turned us in to a little known secret in the heart of downtown. Mexican food the way you be never had it. Light, fresh, and innovative...this is a place for foodies and the food ignorant. They know how to please absolutely any diner. The drinks are outstanding. You must try the Agavero! A cocktail that will make you want a second...and no one will care because they will be eating the Quedo Fundido and never notice! On to the octopus and Sopes de Chicharon Prensado! We were so full but kept going. 3 orders of Charros Beans were a must for our table of 4. I would really like to continue my review, but we're about to get our Citrus Cake dessert and I can't wait!! read more

I had an incredible experience at Miel de Agave in downtown Phoenix! The highlight of my visit was their Chicharrón Prensado Burger, and let me tell you, it was perfection. The combination of juicy Black Angus meat, crispy pork belly chicharrón prensado, and the kick of salsa verde, all topped with melted Chihuahua cheese, pickled onions, and micro cilantro, made for a burger like no other. The Serrano garlic added the perfect amount of heat, and pairing it with a cold Modelo on draft was just the enough to wash hump day away. Even with the restaurant buzzing with activity, the service was impressively fast, and sitting at the bar gave me a great view of the lively atmosphere. This place is a must-visit for anyone craving bold, delicious flavors in the heart of Phoenix! I'll definitely read more

This place is AWESOME! The food and drinks are incredible, like top notch. The elote, empanaditas de huitlacoche, sonora tacos and green chili cream enchiladas (with steak) were all delicious! Especially the tacos and enchiladas. Cocktails were fabulous and the service was fantastic. Marcia is by far one of the best servers in the industry!!! Attentive and knowledgable making recommendations on everything we ended up trying from food to drink... happy campers all around! There just isn't stellar service like this these days... Great tequila and mezcal selections and their signature cocktails are bomb! Ambiance and vibe top it all off! Highly recommend and will be back very soon (seriously, like next week soon...)! read more

We had a reservation to celebrate a graduation and were really looking forward to it, but the experience before even being seated was extremely disappointing. The hostess was condescending and rude, speaking to us in a way that felt dismissive and unnecessarily forceful regarding our reservation. Instead of trying to resolve the situation or offer any hospitality, she escalated it to the point where our reservation was canceled altogether. For a place that positions itself as a nice spot for celebrations, the lack of professionalism and basic courtesy was shocking. Unfortunately, it completely soured what was supposed to be a special day, and we won't be returning. read more

The weather delay day from hell led us here (along with a favorable Yelp review). 5 hour delay from Seattle, diverted to CA and then the dance to get to the rental car terminal was intense . Needless to say, we were drained. Upon arrival, we sat in the bar simply looking for great food and drink. Jorge came to our rescue. His warm welcome, empathetic ear, and most importantly, the amazing margaritas he prepared were wonderful. The perfect antidote! In addition, the food was amazing, the staff welcoming ( fabulous ambiance) and the price points worked. We will return!! Many thanks to the staff for serving to end our day from Hell on a positive note!! read more

Wow, this little hole in the wall is amazing. We had the quesabirria and octopus tacos, which both were to die for. I loved that the octopus had grilled Pineapple and pickled onions, and the consume that came with the Quesabirria was some of the best I've ever had. We started the meal with the empenaditas de huitlacoche which, for the uninitiated, are made with a special corn that has grown a certain fungal growth that is not only hard to find in the US but also a particularly delicious delicacy. Our server Daphne was very attentive and had our need met at every turn. Her suggestions were spot on and really made this a special experience us. read more

Last time I was here the food and service was actually really good and the free drink to leave a review was a nice added touch... but tonight, the service was incredibly awful and the food was mediocre. And was left no choice but to leave 20% gratuity due to there tablet. The waitress was incredibly rude from the moment we sat down, the manager who was so nice took our order because she never came back. The steak fajitas I ordered were so fatty and never came with the sides that were offered on the menu. And the waitress never came back to check on us to the point where we had to close out with the manager who originally took our order. read more

I recently dined at Miel De Agave and had a wonderful evening overall. The atmosphere was elegant and relaxing, and our server was attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly throughout the meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations, which made the experience feel personal and well cared for. The food was beautifully presented and flavorful, though one or two dishes could have used a touch more seasoning or warmth when served. Still, the service stood out -- our server checked in at just the right times without being intrusive, and everything ran smoothly. read more

Miel De Agave offers a vibrant dining experience with a trendy nightclub atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. I ordered the Tacos Dorados from the appetizer menu as my meal, and they did not disappoint. These handmade Sonora-style tacos, stuffed with fresh potatoes and drenched in the house salsa, had fantastic flavor with just the right amount of heat. To complement the meal, I enjoyed a few margaritas, which were both refreshing and well-made. The combination of great food, excellent drinks, and attentive service makes Miel De Agave a great spot for a lively night out. read more
