    April 14, 2026 this is the second time I've placed an order thru door dash for "vida agave on wheels" (food truck) and let me just tell yall...it's not the full menu but what they have is excelente!

    We had a great meal here on the patio. Fairly priced, great service, and I got my shrimp fix!

    Service here is awesome, staff is really nice and it's a really cool vibe. The food is good, typical Tex mex style food. The ceviche had no flavor, tasted like pure lime juice. The charro beans are delicious and they have a nice kick. Overall it's worth a try but definitely have the expectation on the style of Mexican food.

    My husband and I were staying at an Airbnb nearby and found this spot on Yelp. We sat at the bar on a Saturday, which you'd expect would be better service. It wasn't even with 3 bartenders behind the counter. It seemed a bit disorganized. I'd give it a 3/5 for service. I'm picky about my Mexican food. The rice has to be cooked a certain way and the meat not overcooked in the tacos / fajitas. I was impressed so the food was 5/5! The ingredients and flavor were on point. We'll definitely come back for the food.

    There is a small parking lot for this restaurant. The service is great though. We were seated right away. The space is big, open and airy. The servers were attentive and checked in. There is a full bar and outdoor seating as well. The food was good. I enjoyed my chicken salad. The black beans were excellent. It is a good portion for the price.

    Burrito Surf & Turf

    I stopped by here a couple of nights ago for dinner. My wife and I were trying to find a place to eat when we came across Vida Agave. We had actually driven past this place a number of times during the week we were in Galveston, so we knew exactly where it was. The inside of the restaurant is interesting, as the bar looks like a metal-roofed beach bar and fits nicely inside the space with its roughly 20-foot-high ceilings. I had placed our order online, and it said it would be ready in 20 to 25 minutes. When I arrived 23 minutes later, our order was ready, and I was quickly in and out. For dinner that evening, I went with the surf and turf burrito while my wife chose the seafood quesadilla. The menu described mine as beef fajita, grilled shrimp, guacamole, fried string onions, and rice, served with charro beans on the side. My first thought when I saw my burrito was that it looked a little small, but there was plenty of shrimp and beef inside, and it tasted great. By the time I finished it, I realized it definitely wasn't small after all. Afterward, I started in on the charro beans, which ended up being delicious. They had a nice kick to them, and the beans themselves were really flavorful. If all beans tasted like this, I'd be making or ordering them more often. My wife enjoyed her seafood quesadilla as well. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our food, and I especially liked those charro beans.

    Ice cream taco
    Eden Y.

    Love this place so much! Every time I visit Galveston I come here at least once. Ceviche is amazing. Flautas plate is amazing. Ice cream taco dessert is amazing. Salsas are flavorful. Service is really great too. Highly recommend.

    Salsa is SO good!
    Suzy H.

    This place was voted best tacos in Galveston, and I can taste why. The chips and salsa were my first indicator that I was in for a treat. The tamarind Paloma was unexpectedly my favorite Paloma ever. The chimichurri asada tacos were very good, but the rice and beans were my favorite part of the meal. I will be thinking of this place until next time I'm on the island. Fantastic service and with a group of about 30, I was impressed with the efficiency. Very cool place, I highly recommend checking it out!

    When back for the second time. It was better than the first. Hit 5 stars. The strawberry margarita hit the spot and was very tasty. Also had the stuffed jalapeño to start with omg it was good. The fajitas for me entree was great meat. The bean were amazing. I think it may be my go to meal.

    Enjoyed a lovely happy hour on a Friday at Vida Agave! The happy hour specials were good, and the margarita's were delicious. I had the street corn and margarita from the happy hour menu, and my entrée was from the regular menu. I enjoyed the beer battered salmon taco. For a small extra charge, they replaced the tortilla with a lettuce wrap. The rice and beans were delicious. Service was fast and friendly and the environment was super cute. It's not a large place, but it's definitely a solid little corner restaurant on a popular street in Galveston.

    My partner and I were looking for some decent seafood and we didn't want to hazard the beachfront restaurants with their crowds and high prices. Vida Agave had great reviews so we made our way over to its location across from the federal courthouse. We greatly enjoyed the drinks and food as everything was made with care and fresh ingredients. The ceviche was decent but my favorite was the mahi mahi tacos done lettuce wrap style. The protein portions were huge in all of our entrees. Service was very attentive and made you feel right at home. There was a lot of energy in the dining room but the music and noise was kept at a reasonable level so we could enjoy our meal. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended.

    Very nice humble restaurant. Staff was great, the got us seated fast with chips and drinks. Lots of classic Mexican food options to choose from, though there aren't much options. I went during a busy time and the service was still good and super fast. Food was hot, fresh, and very good. No bad comments! I recommend trying this place out if you enjoy eating Mexican food or are looking to eat something with lots of choices.

    Let me talk to you about Daiquiri Time Out. I've only been…read morethere once & it was one of those places that left me wishing I lived nearby. They're located in downtown Galveston in a part of town that was once a red light district. Their menu is "beach drinks". That's the vibe. You can get anything from a Negroni or Old Fashioned to a Highball, French 75 and everything in between. I live for that frozen strawberry daiquiri though. The cocktail menu is extensive! Did you know they have a speakeasy tiki bar too? Funky, beachy, tiki vibe decor. Great employees. It's The Pineapple Parlor and primo! See my review on it.

    Love going to DTO when we visit the Island. Located of The Strand, more so in the Harborside area…read more(locals, LMK if I'm wrong!). It's one of the best craft cocktail destinations on the island - and with a tiki flare. It's great to see it open after almost a decade. (We went there in 2016 when it first opened for a Yelp meetup; got to meet the owner, try some cocktails, and everyone had a great time.) Happy hour is Mon all day and Tue-Fri 4-7pm with $6 cocktails. Such a deal. They now have a "speakeasy" called the Pineapple Parlor. Barkeep told us there'd be a $6 admission per person; and since the space is small, there's limited seating. We opted to stay inside the DTO area for old fashioneds and Southside ($8 gin, lemon, mint).

    My friends and I were in Galveston for a girls weekend, and the friend hosting us at her beach…read morehouse came across a TikTok about Pineapple Parlor. We knew we HAD to go. The entrance is so fun and charming. I love how 50s hula music is playing while you enter the bar. The hula girl wallpaper in the bathroom also plays well into the theme. One of my friends was six months pregnant at the time and found the mocktail selection to be really good. We were quite full from dinner but didn't mind the snack offerings. I explained I'm gluten intolerant, and the bartender went through the snack pairings I could have. My drink (Speaky Tiki Old Fashioned) came with the rice, and it was so, so good. We actually plan on coming back this weekend, and I'm salivating at the thought of the crispy rice. Don't skip out on this place! It's one of the best speakeasies I've been to.

    Well, well, well, Pineapple Parlor, aren't you a sight for sore eyes?…read morePineapple Parlor is a tiki speakeasy lounge offshoot off Daiquiri Time Out in historic downtown Galveston (former Red Light District, in fact). I mean what better place for a tiki bar than a beach town? The drinks menu is as extensive as DTO. They've got the tiki standards, Zombie and Painkiller as well as a slew of others. The Kumquat Tot is hands down my favorite. Kumquat, gin, mint, and a few other choice ingredients make this one of the most unique and refreshing cocktails I've ever had. Drinks are served in classic tiki glassware. I dig the vibe here real hard. It's rad. Decor is thatched walls, huts, voodoo, fire, and skulls. Mood lighting enhances the overall theme. The bartenders and servers are super cool. Visiting once just wasn't enough. In the words of The Terminator, "I'll Be Back".
