Have now given each Miel de Agave location a shot, still not impressed. Came here for a friend's birthday today and the service is beyond rude. Not sure what her position was, however she was in white so assuming management or bartender? But I asked to get through to the paper towels because the paper towel holder wasn't scanning. She said, "they're right in front of you" very rudely. The last place I would've guessed them to be was on the wet sink. On top of that, the bathroom sink was piled up with used paper towels. Disgusting, in my opinion. Our server herself, Cynthia, was nice! You can find my other review on the Chandler locations Yelp. However the food was good. 2 girls in our group waited a solid while to get their food after we were all served. Won't be returning after this second experience. read more

Not impressed. Music during lunch on a Friday was loud. Food was expensive and basic. The chicken for my tacos was bland. Service was fine. Wouldn't go back. read more

While the food quality and taste was very good, the staff was not engaging and hospitable during the seating process. For me to rate this restaurant higher would require a solid experience across all facets of the dining experience. read more

I really have been wanting to try this place for a while, and so glad we finally gave it a go. Parking can be tough especially on evening weekends so plan ahead! This fun & upbeat restaurant is an amazing spot for food, drink & getting your dance on! On weekends, they start with a DJ during dinner then live music and a dance floor. We started off with the chicharron and it was BOMB. Crispy, crunchy, limey with a kick of salt it was perfection. For dinner I had the bacanora tacos with bone marrow on the side. My entree was amazing the tacos come with bacon wrapped shrimp, and a variety of toppings. Everything was delicious and our server was great. Only complaint is that we had no reservations. I looked online prior to arriving & it showed plenty of availability, even though the hostess informed me there was nothing available the rest of the night. So I took it upon myself to book a reservation online right then & there and we were then seated within ten minutes. Not sure what the deal is with that, but make reservations ahead of time just in case. read more

Great experience but not quite perfect. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. The ambiance is really fun but also really LOUD. So many places are so loud you can barely talk to the people at your table! We ordered chips and salsa and guacamole. The guacamole is fine, nothing standout but good and also enormous. Even with 6 of us we had so much leftover. It also didn't seem to come with many chips. The salsa is thin, smoky, and hot. I loved it! The chips are quite thick. I prefer thinner chips but that's OK. Chips and salsa also come with a small side of beans which weren't exciting. The drinks are very high priced. The only margarita was $17 and was just a pretty small margarita that was very sweet. I'd skip it next time. I got the birria tacos and they were fabulous! So meaty and tender. This also comes with the kinda boring little cup of beans, a small cup of broth which wasn't very flavorful, and a hot oil of some sort. The meat was so juicy you didn't really need broth but I did dip them in the delicious salsa! Also ordered at our table were the bacanora pasta and bacanora tacos, which are both with bacon-wrapped shrimp. Everyone who got these loved them! Two people got the enchiladas and I didn't get the sense these were amazing. I'll go back for birria and salsa! read more

I love the ambiance of this place. Upscale Mexican restaurant in the heart of downtown Phoenix. The saxophonist was amazing service was a little slow i had to keep asking for water, but otherwise this place is amazing the birria torta was incredible. I tasted the carne asada and that was delicious too. read more

Party of 7 on a Saturday with reservation made days in advance. Service was very slow. Around 30 minutes passed after we received our drinks before we saw our server again, and this only because one of us asked front of the house to send her back. Water glasses went unfilled for nearly as long. When we finally did get our food, it was not good. The tacos were alright, the carne asada was rough, and my New York strip + frites was genuinely terrible. The "frites" were just regular fast food quality fries, not even well seasoned, and the steak was somehow extremely tough and chewy despite being ordered medium rare. I have no clue how this spot has such good reviews, but my experience was beyond disappointing. read more

Had a reservation for two at 8. Sat and waited for 40 minutes with no updates at the bar which was a first for me and my wife at any restaurant. Called Chico Malo down the street to see if they had a table, they sat us down immediately upon arrival and we ended up having a lovely dinner. read more

I came alone and had an excellent time. The service, food, and ambience is all perfect. I loved my server (he warned me the hot sauce would be hot and it actually was haha but bearable for me) as well as the hostess in the front. I got the quesabirria and a few drinks. It was reasonably priced and overall delicious. Would definitely recommend coming here. It gives classy date night vibes. read more

The food is very tasty. Service not so much though. I had the breakfast chiliquiles with pork belly and carne asada. I tried both sauces (green and red) and they are both delicious. I did like the green a little more. read more

We chose Miel de Agave to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, and while the vibe was nice, the overall experience left a bit to be desired. We started with appetizers calamari and pork belly. Both were just okay not bad, but nothing memorable either. Things went downhill a bit when our main dishes were brought out incorrectly twice. We ended up keeping one of the wrong dishes just to avoid waiting even longer. We ordered the carne asada and the pasta carbonara. Unfortunately, the steak came out overcooked (we asked for medium rare), and the shrimp on the pasta were overdone as well. The burger we received (not the one we ordered) was actually good, which was a small win. The potato tacos and tuna were just okay nothing stood out. Service was friendly but very slow. Our server was sweet and clearly doing her best, but the wait times and mix-ups were frustrating, especially for a special occasion. Overall, Miel de Agave wasn't terrible, but it wasn't impressive either. There's potential here, but our experience didn't quite live up to the expectations. read more

Miel de Agave definitely caught my attention while browsing Yelp. The menu looks creative, with everything from burgers to Mexican-inspired pasta and seafood. The presentation looks great, and I can see why so many people have left positive reviews. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it when I'm in Phoenix. read more

Waitress was very sweet and helpful in choosing entrees. The favorites were the ribeye aguachile, Shrimp risotto (corn), and chipotle pasta. Ambiance and decor is very nice and booths are comfy. read more

Great food and atmosphere but restaurant needs to get on the same page with stuff. It was debated if we can get seated, the birthday cake situation was not explained well-- like no cakes at all whereas other parties brought one. (I don't understand the big deal about the cakes tbh) and dishes all came at different times. No refills but just handed small liters of soda. Just need to all have things streamlined for paying that much. Gratuity is included, honestly service needs to be better read more

i had the best service by nancy and the food is always on point!! 2nd time ive been here and nothing but amazing!!

Fantastic restaurant. Booked a last-minute reservation for late at night when a friend was flying into town. He was vibing steak for dinner and Miel de Agave delivered. The ambiance was great - very cool feel. Food and cocktails were excellent. Steak ordered medium rare was cooked perfectly for both entrees - this isn't always the case, even at the high-end steakhouses. Too often restaurants teeter on the medium/medium rare line, but Miel de Agave cooked it with precision and provided a perfect medium rare. We shared the elote appetizer, which was an appreciated and unique take on elote served as spears. Service was attentive and appreciated. Hostess was also very polite. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone and look forward to returning. read more

Came here in a Saturday night at 10:15 with a group of 11 just for drinks. Denied service, They're closed 45 min early. Not sure why places complain about business when they turn it away. read more

This experience was really great. The tacos dorados was really good with their sauce. And Michelle was a good waitress that our drinks on time and food. And they hooked up my girl with a cake for her birthday. Oh and the chicharron was good!! read more

Incredible Food & Dessert! The Tres Leches at Miel de Agave is perfection--moist, light, and not too sweet. We also loved the infamous quesobirria and the elote; the meat was incredibly soft and flavorful. It's a fantastic spot for a high end Mexican meal. Service was fast. Lively Ambience. Highly recommend! read more

The food was okay. There were one or two things that were delicious, but others that just seemed over priced for what you got. The experience did not start off great because we had a reservation for 7 that I confirmed multiple times that day and the days prior. We arrived on time and still had to stand at the front of the restaurant for almost 10 min waiting for our table to be ready. They also come around with a camera trying to upsell you a group photo for $20 which just felt like a money grab and annoying. read more

We had a reservation for 7pm did not get seated until 7:53pm the hostess was extremely condescending. After being seated our server was average and like the first visit they offer a free shot or dessert if you leave a positive review... the food was mediocre this time around. You lost my business Miel de Agave. read more

Overall, a great tasty food place downtown! I came here with some coworkers and sat outside - the outside seating area is very nice and shaded (though we came on a day it was raining and the sides are not protected for the rare rainy day). There were also large tv screens around - so if you wanted to keep track of any games, you could. The wait staff were incredibly friendly - though we did find it weird that when we first sat down, they asked to take a picture of us. Our waitress recommended the Chichen-Itza drink, which I found excellent. I then ordered the Chicharron burger, which was incredible. One of the best burgers I've had. The chicharron added an excellent juicy flavor and perfectly chewy texture to the burger. The sauce and additional accompaniments also added to the burger - you could taste it but it wasn't overwhelming, allowing the chicharrones to be the star of the show. The fry sauce was also excellent. I do wish the menu had mentioned fries would be included (I did not realize they would) - and mentioned an option to replace with a salad, but that's a minor nitpick. A coworker ordered the sonora tacos - and found that it was good and plentiful food. I would highly recommend this burger and drink to anyone who comes here. Overall, a great experience! read more

Overall I had a fine experience here, but I'm going to be a bit of a stickler as this is a premium price point. The atmosphere and vibe is lovely and the location is great. The food and cocktails were expertly crafted and I've never received an order of guac more quickly in my life. That being said, everything felt like it was maybe $10-$15 above the price I wished it was for what you got. The enchiladas were great but $33 for two enchiladas and a tiny salad in a bowl is a bit steep. Likewise my wife got the baconara tacos and for $20 it was literally two tacos that were ok. The birria short rib was delightful but came with a $75 price tag as well. Lastly, while I'm not trying to be the fun police here there were times when I'd have loved my waiter to come by for another drink or to check on the tacos which came out later than all the other dishes and the waitstaff was kind of just gathered in the middle of the restaurant, in view of all the patrons, horsing around. I've worked waitstaff jobs and that's half the fun, but in plain view probably isn't the place to do it at a restaurant of this price point. TL;DR - if the menu prices don't raise an eyebrow for you go, you'll have a fine time. If the prices are in special occasion territory for you I honestly feel you can have a better overall experience elsewhere at this price point. ------------------- Nothing against this establishment at all, I wish them the best but I do think they have a few opportunities to elevate the experience to better match the premium nature of the menu. read more

This is a good spot for drinks and apps. They had live music on Friday night which was really cool, the artist was really talented. The indoor dining area had really cool ambiance. The apps were good but I probably wouldn't spend more for the entrees, overpriced for what they are serving in my opinion. read more

Went in early in the week around five and the hostess made it seem like a party of three might be tough even though most of the restaurant was empty. We sat down and ordered drinks, two of which, including all house margarita, were served as incorrect drinks. Then we were asked if we would take a photograph for the restaurant. We politely declined, and were asked if we might change our mind. The food itself was fine. I had the quesabirria and the ribeye agua chile. They were good, but extremely overpriced and oversold. The waiter said it was unlikely for one person to finish the quesabirria, which I felt was easily within a normal portion. The meal came out to roughly $60 per person for one appetizers, three drinks, and three entrees. For the service, uncomfortable atmosphere, and quality of the food, I am unlikely to return. read more

First time here with the new ambiance and menu. It is an upbeat vibe with music in the background and lots of larger parties dining and celebrating birthdays. And boy...the servers know how to celebrate birthdays with song, sparklers, signs and special lights. Service was great, very attentive to filling our waters, checking on our satisfaction, etc. We ordered drinks, had appetizers, and main entrees. Everything was delicious. Everyone especially loved the calamari with the special seasoning and slight spice kick. The guacamole was just ok. It was fresh but it lacked flavor. Chips were fresh and appropriately salted. Entrees were very good and appropriate portions with no leftovers. At the table folks ordered various types of tacos, green chili enchiladas, and even a burger. Everyone loved their dishes. Only hassle is the parking. With the nearby lot closed you have to search for street, metered parking and it is a hassle on a busy night. Instead of searching consider getting dropped off and why not try the Waymo. A pleasant experience all around. read more

Seated quickly, reservation isn't required but strongly encouraged. Greeted quickly, ordered drinks and apps, guac & chips, calamari, and some salsa (it's spicy). The calamari was amazing we ordered a 2nd round lol, guacamole was really good, chips were a bit too salty for me but it's tolerable. Quesabirria was outstanding, skirt steak was amazing. The service was good, could have checked back more but otherwise very helpful. Those beans could be slathered on leather and I'd eat them! So good! There is a photographer walking about $20 a pic. It's darker, small patio, small dogs welcome. Tips: They don't have much wine and the old fashioned is smoked and the margaritas were 10/10! read more

First of all A 4 star rating is a high recommendation. I don't give many 5 stars, because everything needs to be exceptional. Today is one if the rate occasions I will give a 5 star review. We were downtown at at the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy presentation, which was amazing by itself. We were looking for a place to eat nearby and Yelp gave Miel De Agave very good reviews. My girlfriend had tried to come here for a birthday celebration in the past but it was too busy. (Reservation highly recommended Friday and Saturday) but today being Sunday we took a chance. We were a little early arriving just after 4. We were greeted immediately. There were only a few tables taken and seated by the stage. (Live saxophone player started at 6 and we were glad we were still here). Our server Marcia was amazing. Very pleasant smile brought us menus and explained everything. She took our drink orders and put in our appetizer while we browsed the menu. We decided on the green chili creamy enchiladas with chicken and I chose the Ribeye Del A Casa. The drinks were ordered were the Conejo Malo and the Me Quiere o no me Quiere. They both had a great presentation and both were sweet but delicious. The enchilads were flavorful and good size portion. The ribeye however, was among the top steaks I ever had. The meat was juicy and cooked exactly as ordered. The quesadillas were good and the sauces amazing. Highly recommend. We were to full to finish but Marcia brought us a complementary slice of cheesecake. What a great surprise. It was not a standard cheese cake. It had a creme brulee top and was deliciously sweet. Marcia decorates them and needless to say I was impressed. After finishing a great meal, we were getting ready to leave when the saxophone player was setting up. He started at 6 and played some smooth sounds. Glad we stayed. Overall it was a fantastic day that couldn't have gone better. Highly recommend!! read more
