Visited on a Sunday afternoon for a friend's birthday brunch. I was a little early and they were still setting up the table for the party. When we were seated there were chips, salsa, and water at the table. The chips were dusted with seasoning and the salsa had a nice little kick. I ordered the El Jefe while my husband ordered the strawberry pineapple mezcalita and an apple juice for our son. Someone ordered cheese dips for the table which we all enjoyed. I ordered the fish tacos, cilantro rice, and black beans. We ordered the veggie quesadilla for our 1 yo son. My husband ordered the mojo chicken chimichanga. Food came out pretty quickly considering our party size. My husband ended up ordering another mezcalito while I decided to get a passion fruit margarita. Food was flavorful and a good portion size. We all enjoyed our food and the spicy avocado margarita seemed to be a big hit with the table. Birthday girl brought a cake and the restaurant stored it in the kitchen and then came out with sparklers and sang happy birthday. Our server, Justice, did a great job with our party. There was also plenty of parking in the free garage. I recommend giving them a visit. read more

Agave Bandido understood the assignment. Started with the queso dip with beef, and the kids absolutely devoured it. I ordered the Añejo Espresso Martini, shrimp quesadilla, and elote corn--every bite was incredible. The kids enjoyed the beef taco kids meals, and my friend ordered the birria tacos, which were equally delicious. A special shoutout to Justice, our server. Exceptional service, great recommendations, and he made the entire experience memorable. If you visit, definitely ask for him. Now for the part I probably should keep to myself... Agave Bandido has an incredible speakeasy that comes alive Wednesday through Saturday after hours. The ambiance, cocktails, and overall vibe make it a hidden gem worth discovering. I almost want to keep it a secret, but it's simply too good not to share. Safe to say, I'll be back. Again and again. read more

They have an "88 Health Score", but none of their violations is "Standard not met: Insects, rodents, and animals NOT present", so I can live with that. I was a little late on the introductions, so I missed the names of our server and the hostess, but BOTH were awesome!! The food was excellent (The guacamole was made fresh at the table, to our specifications - You can't beat that, right!!??), with a nice ambiance and their prices are sufferable. They have multiple "FREE" parking decks available for the area's establishments, so in comparison to downtown or Midtown, that's absolutely a plus!! Agave Bandido deserves some additional decimal points, to push them up closer to a "5", but since that's not an option, a "4-star" review it is...I'd absolutely make a return visit or 2!! read more

Stopped by this cute little hidden gem that is one of my favorite places. Decided to sit at the outside bar chairs. Andrea was the bartender who helped us. Amazing service, handcrafted drinks that aren't on the menu from a series of questions she asked us plus tasty appetizers.... Perfect experience. Andrea was personable, attentive and quite a creative bartender. We literally had fun just sitting are chatting with her throughout our two hours. Thanks Andrea!! read more

After work midweek cocktail! Patron tower of margaritas! Hit the spot. I had some of the best empanadas here as well as the tacos. There's a free parking garage. They have different drink specials during the week I believe so check the site. The restaurant was pretty busy for a Tuesday mid week. I imagine it gets pretty busy as the weather gets nicer. There's indoor and outdoor seating. read more

First, I do think this place is worth a second visit. Simply because the service is top notch and there is a speak easy that's behind the wall that I am curious about. As for the food, it was just okay. Not really much to say except the chimichanga was just "chimi" w/o the "changa". The queso was good, but the chips could be a bit better without the seasoning, sometimes less is more and then put that seasoning on the chimichanga that lacked flavor. Dessert was cool. And that is all. read more

The ambience in the restaurant is very nice. The drinks were good. The food was okay. We ordered queso and was served the chips and salsa 10 minutes before the queso was served. The queso was not the best. Trying to be different, I ordered a Steak Chimichanga. I could not enjoy it because the steak was overcooked. My daughter enjoyed her Barbacoa tacos and her boyfriend enjoyed his Barbacoa Chimichanga. Our table did not have any silverware and the waitress never provided any. We had to ask the person who served our food for silverware. I would go again but definitely order something different. Parking was free. *The hostess informed us that they have ladies night on Thursdays which is one of their busier nights. They have $1 bottomless drinks on ladies night. read more

First time dining here In the popular Dunwoody High St Area across from Perimeter Mall. Giving all the feels of the Mexican culture but with some spice. The Latin music was awesome that was all Zumba , meringue inspired. There are 3 areas of dining , bar area, outdoor patio and bar seating, and another shown in the picture posted. Out sever was nice but once I asked about the restaurant history and etc. shae another sever working took the lead on sharing all the great things from happy hour 4-6 or 5-7 and Ladies Night on Thursdays with special prices Margarita. This particular evening it was a late light dinner so didn't try any drinks. There is also another twist that shae shared about this spot but you will have to go there to find out. I am sure the weekend vibe is great. The bar area has televisions while the other side is more upscale. Something for everyone and the tacos were good. Would go back to try more of their menu selections and drinks. Give it a try! read more

Service service service Can I say more? Our server at the bar was Andreas was outstanding. He was personable, customer oriented and able to handle a large volume of customers with ease. We found ourselves at the Agave Bandido to attend a birthday gathering in the secret speakeasy (located upstairs) but initially dined downstairs. We ordered street corn and steak nachos. Both were excellent and served piping hot. The steak nachos were by far my favorite. Lots of toppings and the steak was tender. The order is so large three of us were able to share them with some left over. The street corn is served on the cob and was flavorful and served with a side of lime I will add my review of Maya Speak Tisi on a separate posting read more

Bria is amazing, she always has the best recommendations and she makes amazing drinks.

Came here for my birthday dinner. Free parking and they split bills always a plus. Food was good and the drinks, very vibrant decor and lighting our ONLY issue was with our server. He was not attentive to our table at all (mind you the place was far from packed). we had 4 different people repeatedly keep asking him for the same item that he managed to forget every time he came back to the table. I will definitely come back, but receive service from anyone else but him. read more

Finally got to check out Agave in High Street. We came on a Thursday evening around 7pm and it was definitely a turn up vibe in the bar area. People were singing & dancing at the bar. We were seated right away inside away from the bar but there is outside seating as well and an inside & outside bar seating area. The music selection is A+. We are both not a huge fan of Mexican food but we love supporting Dunwoody and its developments/restaurants. Our food came out so fast after ordering, we were both in shock. We ordered the Chipotle queso dip with adobo chicken, Elote street corn, and my husband got the Steak quesadilla. They gave a good amount of everything on top of the complimentary chips & salsa. The Elote street corn order comes with 3 corn so plenty to share. When we finished our meal our server Jillian informed us about the Speak-Tiki that's on the top floor & she brought us up there to check it out. Video & picture attached. We plan to definitely return on a Friday or Saturday to enjoy Maya Speak-Tiki. I definitely recommend this restaurant for the vibes, atmosphere & food if you like Mexican. Weekly Specials *Mon-Friday: Happy hour 3-6pm *Taco Tuesdays: 50% off tacos *Thursdays is Ladies Night, 8-10pm free drinks! read more

I really don't want to take the time to review this place. I won't be back Margaritas are good though

The ambiance in this place is really nice and looks like a great spot for happy hour or a night out with friends. I will say the food did not impress me much. I ordered fish tacos and the fish seemed a tad bit dry with a lot of slaw on top. The food is definitely more of Tex mex style. Our waitress was nice and it's definitely a nice spot for drinks. The food was the only downside. read more

WOW WOW AND WOW- definitely a 10/10 experience all around. It was our first time there, and we went for Cinco De Mayo. First impressions: the decor was so vibrant and right on theme with the restaurant. Blake was our server, and he was the bombbbbbbb. Truly, he was so sweet, so patient, and was very personable, just the right person to have as our server for our first time. We started off with the tableside guacamole (such a cool thing to watch! - see pics/vids). It was delicious and the chips were perfectly seasoned too. To kick off our evening, we ordered the Mexican candy shots. We then ordered the strawberry and the passionfruit margarita, which were amazing. For eats, we ordered the Carne Asada tacos and the Birria Tacos. DELISHHHHHH. While we were pretty full at this point, we did order one more drink, strictly because of how cute it looked! We ordered the "Chill N' Go" which is a Pina Colada Margarita. I already cannot wait to come back here. The vibes were perfect; whoever was in control of the music was doing their thing!!! We kept singing and dancing in between bites. Drinks were great, staff was really nice, and we were very satisfied with the food. So glad to have a place this dope so close to home. read more

The resturant is gorgeous for sure and I can see how it attracts a crowd. I went for happy hour and ladies Night. I think the regular happy hour drinks may be worth it more than the special for $1. The drinks were beyond weak and we tried the hh quesadilla, chicken, I would give it 3/10 (taste like unseasoned chicken and cheese). The bartenders were all over the place and it wasn't packed.. Not sure if I would go back for hh or this special. read more

We sat at the bar and had attentive bartenders. They even changed the tv to the football game we wanted to watch, so it was the vibe we wanted. Adobo chicken was delicious without radish but the shrimp with no aioli was my favorite with the mix match combo. It had the right amount of seasoning and toppings. It was big enough too but wish for the price that it was 3 tacos instead of 2. Overall great tacos though. Passion fruit margarita was good too with the right amount of flavor. The red sangria wasn't my favorite but it had potential. Burrito bowl with adobo chicken was a decent size. The chicken was dry in parts but overall pretty good. I would get again. read more

I've been so excited to come here and however, it gives ambiance over quality. Sitting outside at the walk up bar on a nice day is irreplaceable. The bartender was very friendly and made a great mango mojito! Although i enjoyed my drink and will be back for more I can't say the food so much for me. The Elote didn't have my flavor. The shrimp and fish tacos were also lacking authentic flavors. It said spicy but i didn't get that. The rice was dry and the beans were just ok but i never like either anywhere. read more

Food was great! Service was even better! Highly recommend this restaurant! Randomly found this place and was a great surprise!

I visited Agave Bandido twice with friends. I like that there is free parking in the parking deck attached. Each time the service was good and the food was good. They have a unique menu of drinks, all of which were tasty. We visited the speakeasy upstairs on cinco de mayo. It was cute with a lot of seating. The only complaint was it was very noisy. I would go back to visit. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration. Everything started off wonderfully. We were able to sit down immediately upon our arrival. There were chips and salsa on the table for us. Mia greeted us and let us know she'd be serving us. After the rest of our party arrived, that's when things went down hill. The temperature in the restaurant was unbearable. It was so hot. Then we ended up having to split our table because the accommodations we were given weren't suitable for our party. Mia tried her best but she was working too many tables which made our wait time too long. Overall, everyone enjoyed their meal and drinks. But be cautious if you have a large party. read more

We went around midnight after getting settled in our hotel. We ordered nachos off the late night menu and had their house margaritas. The nachos (we requested shrimp, $6 extra) were delicious! The seasoned chips, black beans and all the fixings really set them off! We wanted the margarita tree but they said the patron bottles for the presentation were in back order, so we each ordered a different flavor. The Rita was good and made "with love." I wish they had frozen margaritas, as I drink the rocks ones too fast, but hey Texas has me spoiled. lol In all we enjoyed the food and drinks, service was a miss as it took awhile to get greeted, order more food, but maybe it was due to the time. Not sure. We sat in the bar area as no one was there to greet us upon arrival, so maybe next time if we go earlier in the day the ambiance and service might be different. read more

The food is overpriced for what it is. My shrimp tacos were two tiny soft tacos and small side of rice and beans for $17. That's not ridiculous for the crazy prices of restaurants these days, but it's not a good value. This is clearly a "see and be seen" place for people who will pay a premium for average food and drinks. Decor is really cool and the "speakeasy" is a fun place to go sneak a peek into, but the rest is not worth the price. read more

My husband and I found Agave Bandido after a trip to Puttshack which is a short walk away from the entrance. We decided to try this place based on the artwork we saw on the walls outside, and we are so happy we decided to give it a shot. This place was a great choice for some truly great tasting Mexican food. From the salsa choices, to the varieties of beans and rice, it was a great experience. The interior was gorgeous and so colorful. We decided to sit at the bar and were informed by the extremely kind bartender (Rowbear) of all the specials this place offers, as well as that the upstairs of the restaurant is a speakeasy - which we definitely plan to try in the future! There is a shared parking garage for this shopping/entertainment center which is only a short walk away. We each ordered a drink. Mine, a Tropicoco Martini that I had on the rocks - while my hubby ordered the Azteca which very closely resembled an Old Fashioned. We were both torn on what to order as all the food options looked so good. We settled on a taco plate and a bike your own burrito plate. Both were so flavorful and the presentation of each plate was pure perfection. The pricing of all the food is quite reasonable for the quality in which you receive. Can't wait until we get to go back! read more

Agave Bandido caught my attention on Instagram and Tiktok. I have been very excited to try this restaurant. The food and drinks looked pretty good. So let's get into it. This is located near Perimeter Mall in a plaza about 5 minutes from the mall. There is garage parking that is free. It was kind of difficult to find. I can't say I would find it quickly again. Lol! The decor of the restaurant is very nice. I love all of the decor throughout. It did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and helpful going over the menu. The drinks were really good. Our shot was pretty good. The El Jefe margarita was suggested. The drinks did not disappoint at all I was very much a fan. The bartender did a great job. The food was just okay. I was expecting it to be more flavorful. It was a bit bland. The birria tacos only came with the compote. It did not come with any sides. You could add for additional price. The waitress said the tacos would be enough. I can be full off a kid's Menu. I was still hungry so ate more chips and salsa. The chips and salsa was not complimentary. The chips were okay. The salsa could use a dash salt and pepper. Overall, I would come back for drinks and just hang out. I wouldn't eat here or not right away until there is some improvement with the food. It wasn't bad just lacked flavor. read more

9/10 Amazing new place in Dunwoody with excellent customer service by Trai and even better food! I loved the ambiance of this restaurant and the menu was not too intense but had amazing choices. We started with the chimmichurros that were melt in your mouth, homemade. It was hot and fresh on a bed of lettuce with the sauce. It comes with two and that's all you really need. The birria tacos were amazing, seasoned well and the perfect amount of cheese pull. The churro ice cream sandwich had me in a pinch. I was SO full but I couldn't help myself, it's definitely meant to share and not for one person unless you're a big back The ONLY thing I didn't like were the margaritas being in a small glass. $13 for like small margarita to me is kinda unreasonable and they put so much ice in it. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant a few weeks ago as the weather was starting to warm up. From the moment I arrived, everything from the location to the service made a great impression. Here's a breakdown of my experience: Location * Conveniently located just outside of Perimeter Mall * Easily accessible and directly across from the MARTA station * Has a similar feel to the Avalon in Alpharetta with vibrant, open-area surroundings * Eye-catching aesthetics and bright, colorful design upon entry Food * Nachos were generously portioned, easily shareable between 2-3 people * Empanadas were fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared * Drinks were well-balanced and enjoyable * Overall presentation of the dishes was visually appealing Service * Staff was consistently friendly and attentive * Great experience from the host stand to the server and bus staff Parking * Free and plentiful parking available nearby * No issues finding a spot, even during a busy time All in all, this is a cute place for happy hour or date night. It's open late on the weekends (2am) and has beautiful outdoor seating! As a taco snob, I'd give the food 4/5 (it's good but not authentic) and the rest 5 STARS! read more

Oh my goodness!!!! This just might be my new favorite spot!!! I went there on a nice evening. The weather was perfect so we ate outside. The decor and ambiance is very nice! The waitress was very nice and efficient. I forgot her name .. a small framed young black girl. I ordered the empanadas and taco combo meal. The empanadas were so delicious! I still dream of them lol. I had a mojo chicken taco and a shrimp taco. Both were good. I chose the Mexican rice which was so bland. So I definitely won't be getting that again. Nonetheless I will be back! My daughter had the steak and shrimp nachos!!!! The portion was definitely worth the price. Two people can eat off that order. Overall it's a great restaurant. They have happy hour as well. So I can't wait to go back! read more

I had a great time at this hidden gem of a Mexican spot! The decor is super funky and vibrant, with a mix of traditional and modern vibes. The real surprise? The upstairs speakeasy! It has such a chill, intimate vibe, perfect for sipping on unique drinks. Parking is just a short 30 second walk in the High St. deck. Upon walking in, the hostesses were very helpful in getting me seated while I waited for my group. We started downstairs in the bar area. The happy hour (3-6pm) is a steal, offering great deals on both drinks and food. The margaritas are perfection, and the tequila-infused espresso shot? Pure genius. It's the perfect combination of kick and smooth. We then went upstairs to the speakeasy which felt like a tropical, secret island type of vibe! They have a group drink served in a treasure chest that's filled with smoke--such a fun, theatrical experience! I also ordered the Tropical Oasis which was great. Add in the great music and laid-back yet lively atmosphere, and I'm definitely coming back for more. Highly recommend this spot for good vibes, excellent drinks if you're in the Dunwoody area. read more
