We were in New Albany, IN, just over the bridge from Louisville Ky for business. After searching Yelp, we decided to try Agave & Rye Tequila and Bourbon Hall. The decor was fun with painted murals and designs covering every surface. I especially liked all the "climbing men" stationed around at various places. Agave & Rye Tequila and Bourbon Hall is mainly a taco place with a few other menu items. The tacos are not your usual run of the mil tacos and there are many delicious variations to choose from. Being a non-drinker, I can't give you any info on the alcohol, but they seem to be pretty proud of it. We did happy hour, 5$ mocktails, Pick 3 Chips and Dips, 15$, and the Three Taco Flight, 12$. It was plenty of food for the two of us and Eveything was delicious. We left just enough room for the huge piece of Chocolate Cake, $14. We ate the bottom two tiers and took the rest home. Yum. Kyondre (Dre) was our server. What a delightful young man. He was very helpful and pleasant, while checking in on us frequently. IMHO, Agave & Rye is well worth a visit. read more

Overall this place is good for different types of tacos. Fresh made chips - lightly salted and have a good crunch. Roja salsa has a little spicy kick and tang from the tomato chunks. The pick your 3 mini tacos is a good experiment with the different flavor options. Yoda taco- play on kung pao chicken- has the heat from the sauce, while the egg fried rice holds it together with the crunch of the peanuts. For a plain chicken taco - I would suggest the Chipotle Chika - honey comes thru with the chicken while the queso brings the rich and creamy flavors Service is lacking a bit- and hard to get refills on drinks. Overall a solid 3/5 for a small local restaurant. read more

I've been to a couple of other locations and this was consistent and did not disappoint. The bartender was our server and was happy to make us some skinny margaritas. We shared chips and three dips and he was quick to bring us additional chips once we ran out. I had the Tokyo Drip taco. Good flavors and a hearty portion. I feel like most times when I have their tacos that they seem to eat just a little bit dry. Some extra salsa came to the rescue. I love the ambience and the vibe at all locations. Always a quality meal. read more

This is a bougie taco place where the tacos are more of like an Americanized version of the real tacos. This also reflects on there prices as they're not cheap tacos. I do enjoy the bang bang cauliflower there with all the fixings. I believe people enjoy eating since there's always a good number of people patronizing the business every time I've walked in. It is a modern Taco place vibe. The ambience is uppity with fast popping music. The drinks are good. This time my camera did not eat first, so no pictures but you should have a lot of options despite your dietary restrictions. read more

Taco Week lunch at Agave and Rye. As usual, their Taco Week offerings were awesome. I had the flight of 3 special tacos for $9.00. All three 'special' tacos were excellent, I really enjoyed them. My wife opted for a flight of one Honey Chicken and two Birria tacos also $9.00. Additionally a friend had their big Taco Week Taco that leaned toward Asian flavors. She loved it. Service was top notch. We always look forward to each of the Special weeks. Agave and Rye always has tasty offerings whether it's Taco, Burger or Pizza Week. read more

So, I am guilty of only have gone here for taco week. We went here yesterday for our alphabet restaurant tour. A=Agave & Rye. The tacos I've had, have always been good. I had the crispy chicken burrito and it was sooo good! I need to put this place and location on regular rotation. Ambiance is always on point and it's always a vide here! Service was great! Our bartender, Rob, made sure our drinks were on point! My wife didn't like one she ordered initially. He made another and made sure she liked it! So attentive and such great service! Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone asking! read more

I can see why my friends go nuts over Agave & Rye so much! We ordered delivery from the New Albany A&R during a ladies' weekend in the area. And this meal did not disappoint. First, the tacos. I was a bit taken aback by the prices at $7-$14 per taco, but now I get it. These are definitely large and in charge! The fillings are super inventive and delicious. And their "love cushion" -- beans, guac or cheese in between hard and soft shells -- made me giggle and then made my mouth water. But even more than the tacos, I enjoyed the "munchies." The crispy brussels sprouts were my favorite, followed by the cauliflower bites and giant tater tots. I will be back for more of this inventive taco goodness soon! read more

I really enjoyed my experience here! I came during Louisville burger week, wanting to try as many different places as I could. I had previously been to the Agave & Rye location in Louisville and was unimpressed, so I was skeptical coming into this. I'm very glad I decided to come! Stopped for a quick lunch, I got the smash me baby one more time burger that was on special. It was very thoughtfully made. All of the elements worked harmoniously together, from the potato bun, to the delicious pork belly, and the crispy onions. All of this made for a really great bite. The staff was super sweet and efficient. The atmosphere is fun and lively, with a tasteful touch of darkness. Overall very much exceeded my expectations! read more

This was my oldest daughter's choice for a birthday lunch. Since my daughter and son in law live in Jeffersonville and the New Albany location has parking we chose wisely. I still believe that Agave & Rye has the best tacos and potent margaritas. Most of us got the trio taco combo(a good choice for a variety of great tacos) and a few others opted for a tasty margarita. Add some queso and chips you have a filling meal. Of course since we were celebrating a birthday my daughter shared a tiramisu with her husband while my other daughter and wife shared a huge piece of chocolate cake-with leftovers for us. Service was great and very attentive. read more

9/16/25 I Went to Agave and Rye for lunch with coworkers and had such a great time! Jerry gave us a quick tour since we were curious about the upstairs view, but we chose to stay on the main floor. The decor is stunning and so vibrant. Jerry was simply amazing to us, from the tour to the welcoming feel, he definitely makes this place more inviting. We tried a variety of tacos and loved every single one. I had the Snitch, Rooster, and Gangsta, each was unique and so flavorful I couldn't pick a favorite. They also surprised us with a sampler of guac, queso, and pimento cheese which was such a nice touch. The tacos are so delicious, each has a unique combination and especially if you're a foodie like me, you have to try all the various ones. Katie, our waitress, was fantastic and took great care of us. Between the incredible food, friendly service, and artistic atmosphere, I'd highly recommend Agave and Rye for any meal. read more

So last night, my girlfriend and I visited this restaurant in New Albany. We ordered the chicken quesadilla 16.95and the three tacos 15.95. All the three tacos were very good. My girlfriend's chicken quesadilla was swimming in Grease!! literally it came with two quesadillas on the bottom and one laying on the top. The one on the top was OK when she got to the first one on the bottom of the stack. It was completely saturated with grease as was the other one basically rendering it unedible. When we got the manager to come over all she did was apologize, but her comment was simply this. "It's towards the end of the night and I guess our cook is getting sloppy". "He does this a lot of apparently "and this was her comment.!! at the very least they should've taken this either off the bill or made an adjustment not that we were asking for anything like that, but that would've been the proper thing to do and stating that this is something that your cook does on a nightly basis towards the end of the night is completely off the scale out of control. No way to treat a customer. You don't normalize bad service. You make it up to the customer so you make sure they come back but she could've cared less. We stood there and asked her why and she said well I'm sorry all I can do is apologize. That's the best I can do. Well, the best I can do is write this review for people to read and understand that the store in New Albany takes this attitude towards its customers. The best I can do is also to tell my friends not to visit this place. The best I can do is to do my civic duty and write a horrible review of our experience there so that other people can avoid what we went through last night at this restaurant.!! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Louisville and was expecting the same here. Yesterday was disappointing. We were quickly seated and chips and queso came out very quick, as well as our waters. The wait took so long for our elote and our tacos. We were there an hour and forty five minutes. We had to ask for silverware are host stand to be given plastic ware due to them washing dishes. Our taco was cold like the meat was prepped but not heated up or left on counter in kitchen too long. So much our tacos were soggy on bottom. Food was a 2 service was a 1-2. They did not look that busy but it was obvious all of the customers waited too long and didn't receive great service. I will not be back to this location. I will only visit the Louisville location. I hate to give poor reviews but this accurately showcases the experience. read more

The food and service were very good. They have an amazing selection of very unique tacos. The mini taco flight (3 for $15) was a good deal. I reduced a star because on the bill was a merchant fee of 3%. This was not a credit fee, just an extra fee for all guests on all products. The bartender had to ask what it was of management and the answer was an inflation adjustment. It wasn't disclosed on the menu or on any noticeable signage in the restaurant, just a hidden fee added at the end without explanation. Just very unsettling when added feed are lumped on hoping that no one noticed. read more

We celebrated my niece's birthday at Agave and Rye in New Albany. Four seniors, a thirty-something and two pre-schoolers were well cared for by an attentive staff. I had The Crown Jewel. Having Mac and cheese in a taco was odd, but tasty, but the star was the copious topping of lobster. Yummy! Others had The Gangsta taco, and The Bees Knees, which they reported as 'delicious' , chicken tenders, Mac and cheese and burgers. A couple of servings of Brussels sprouts were shared - best I've ever tasted! The kids' plates were overflowing! I couldn't have eaten as much - servings were generous. The total was $111 plus almost $8 tax and a 'merchant fee' of 3.33 -possibly for credit card fee- making our total $122. We left a $28 tip. While waiting for everyone to arrive, my companion and I had wine and beer in the brightly decorated bar. read more

Tacos with a personality. They have one taco, that is generously filed with some interesting flavor combinations, you can get a flight of three tacos to try more options that will not disappoint. Mid week offers half price margaritas so we are definitely coming back for that. Chips come at a cost. In the event it is not a boiling summer day, you have an abundance of outdoor seating and a roof top area. Such a cool vibe with great tacos. Quick service for lunch. read more

I'm part of a foodie group based out of the Indianapolis area that visits 1 new restaurant every month and this restaurant was #121. If you'd like to see where else we visit we'd love to have you join our page @Party of 3! We absolutely loved this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant, fun, and full of personality--with a unique, hipsteresque vibe that really added to the overall experience. We started with some appetizers--aka "Munchies"--and this place definitely knows how to deliver on flavor. We ordered chips with chunky salsa, guacamole, queso, and queso con andouille. The queso was incredibly tasty, and the chips had the perfect level of crispiness. Other munchies we tried included the Crispy Elote Deviled Eggs, Mac & Cheese Donuts with Habanero Syrup, Sweet Corn Fritters, Carne Asada Egg Roll, and the Birria Irish Nachos Duo. While everything was good, our favorites were the Birria Irish Nachos Duo and the Carne Asada Egg Roll--especially when paired with the sesame ginger sauce. The Mac & Cheese Donuts were another hit, offering a subtle kick of spice that made them stand out. When it came to entrées, we sampled a wide range of items from their creative menu. From the tacos menu, our absolute favorite was The Becky--SO good and a must-try if you visit! A great way to experience the bold flavors Agave & Rye has to offer is by ordering a flight of tacos--it gives you a delicious variety and showcases just how unique their taco creations are. We also loved the Grilled Crispy Chicken Burrito, especially with the Agave BBQ Jam. It even reheated well the next day and still tasted amazing. The Birria Grilled Cheese Sammy was another great pick, with a delicious blend of cheeses and a perfectly crispy exterior. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert, and the Salted Caramel Oreo Icebox Cake was the perfect sweet treat to finish off our incredible meal. Overall, every single dish we tried was packed with flavor and uniquely delicious. We would 100% recommend visiting Agave & Rye--you won't be disappointed! read more

Enjoyable evening trying new takes on food. Good, knowledgeable waiter! Service was prompt. A touch noisy for us senior citizens, but fun. Outside seating is covered so rainy weather doesn't necessarily mean you can't be outside. Nothing is 'standard' here! The taco selection is huge and original. I enjoyed the pineapple slaw, husband says nope. The tater tots were different with kind of a thin batter on them. I loved the elote presentation of cut off the cob! So much more appealing than the messy street style. A little on the spicy side but delicious! We tried the Cats Meow, Alderman, Alderman's Escort, Plain Jane, souped up Plain Jane, and the Gangster (I think- it was a carne asada with mushrooms?). Of these, I think the Alderman, Cats Meow and Plain Jane were the best. Loved the homemade tortilla chips! Queso is pretty standard, chunky salsa was delicious and had fresh veggies in it, but the pimento cheese was next level terrific! Restaurant is clean! Fairly good handicap accessible- zero problem with parking and getting to table. Didn't try baths to report that. All in all, very good first impression! read more

Food was good but a little too open when the weather is cool. Nice decor and service was good.

The food was amazing - but the service was terrible. Our server was slow and unattentive. Specifically asked not to seat us with a statue hanging from the ceiling, and that's where we were seated. A metal foot in your face while you eat is less than entertaining. read more

On vacation and heard tacos here were really good. And they were. Margaritas were okay. Thing is we got there at 2:58, according to tracker on my phone. Happy hour started at 3pm. We ordered at about 10 to 15 minutes after we seated. I looked at my watch...3:08. Cool,Happy hour. Get the bill and the first 2 Margaritas are full price. I says hey, "you got this wrong", he says "nah, I put it in at 2:56", according to his computer. Manager said nothing he can do it's automatic and it would be illegal to discount liquor in Indiana. What? That's when we were seated. I'm 64 I've been to restaurants before. Its Just the dishonesty that really bothers me. We all work hard for our money and I know places expect you to spend $15 for a costly ice 16oz. Margaritas but be honest. read more

BEST place in New Albany! Food and drinks are fabulous! Such a COOL place to take out of towners too!

Our waiter, Jeremy, was absolutely incredible!! He was such a fun personality (probably because he's a fellow Michigander ) and was full of great suggestions! He helped me secure the amazing skull glasses that I wanted to bring home by taking my side in my Valentine's Day argument with my husband. But truly, hands down, he was one of the best waiters we ever had!! The tacos were amazing! So many incredible combinations and the flight option allowed us to try multiple combos. The Filthy Fajita and the Gangsta were really good. And the margaritas were to die for. Highly, highly recommend! And make sure to ask for Jeremy! He will take amazing care of you!! read more
