Service was superb! We sat in the bar. Our server, Katie, greeted us soon after we sat down. Helped us get wine and really helped with an allergy issue, garlic. Staff too dirty plates almost immediately. Food was really good too. Spoke to one of the "hands on" managers and he was super humble. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I did enjoy the chilaquiles they have. The salsa is not the best for this, but it satisfied my craving, and they offer black beans which is fantastic! My server was nice and friendly. This place kind of reminds me of Tex-Mex cuisine. Overall, it's pretty good! I'd definitely visit again. read more

Stumbled upon Agave after googling "Mexican near me" and boy are we glad we did! Food was FANTASTIC, ambience was FANTASTIC, Maria, our waitress, was, you guessed it, FANTASTIC! read more

This place is solid whether you come for happy hour in the bar or dine in the restaurant. The fresh salsas are fantastic and have some kick. Have enjoyed every meal and the margaritas are on point. Worth a spin if you are at Kent Station. Have a shot of Sparkle Donkey- not easy to find and worth it on 1/2 price tequila days! read more

The service was bad, my sever was rushing us the whole time and was trying to get us out the door as soon as possible. They were too worried on talk with their other coworkers than giving good service. The food was also expensive for not a big portions. I wouldnt go back. read more

Looking for more Tex-Mex taste and got average. Service & atmosphere was above average.

Appetizer is good. Serve it fast. No complaints here. Bar is tight. Good drinks. Hockey games are busy here too.

We had the fire shrimp as an appetizer, taquitos, steak salad and the tostadas so good! The waitress Rebecca was darling! Her warmth encouragement made us feel cared for during my sober anniversary. We'll definitely be back! read more

Came here tonight for date night with the hubs. The staff were great and the atmosphere is nice. Food came quickly too. I just can't justify a 5 star rating. The markup cost on the food was insane. For a $33 dish I probably only got 2 ounces worth of carne asada and 5 shrimp. No one is unfamiliar with the cost of skirt steak guys. That's a high value piece of meat since we know rice and beans is pennies. If you're totally down for pretty small portions at high amounts, this is your kinda place. Nothing wrong with the food but certainly nothing exceptional either and I really hate being harsh to any businesses. A dish with two tacos for $22. It's crazy out there. read more

Great decor and the food was fantastic! Service was a little slow, we had to go find our server more than once to ask for something. But the food it was so good... It was worth it. read more

Nice day to visit. It's 85 degrees out so we were thankful for some shade and A/C Our waitress was super attentive and kept checking in on us. The food came out fast and super hot. Loved having the chips and salsa at the table. Crunchy Tacos, shrimp tacos, big burritos and chimichangas were all delicious. Huge portions. All were served with beans and rice. Clean inside and decorated authentically. All 4 of us had a great girls luncheon and plan on coming back. Lots of free parking is nice too read more

We decided to go here with our other couple friends we were able to get seated fairly quickly without reservations. And the food was great! Our waitress was able to get us what we needed and checked in on us multiple times throughout our meal... She was even able to find us a booth that was not very crowded or loud! We really enjoyed our time and loved the space where this was located. There is a plethora of parking in the back and a fun little square to be able to walk around to make room for ice cream or shakes in the nearby stores! I would definitely recommend this place to anybody wanting to go get good Mexican food read more

Our visit to the Agave Kent location started out great, overall happy with service and food. A solid choice for happy hour. Unfortunately our credit card information was stolen and later used at a store near the Agave Kent location. This ruined the experience for us and we will not be back. Recommend that if you go you ensure credit card information is run in front of you. read more

This is our go to spot when we're craving Mexican food and want to dine in since it's a short ways away. My experience so far with this place has always been on the good side, not once had I ever had a bad experience. There's plenty of parking if you go on a good day, and you can walk around Kent station and get dessert afterwards If you go during dinner hours on the weekend it tends to be pretty busy, we tend to not wait any more than 30 mins for this place I usually get the enchiladas and rotate between all the enchiladas every time I go. They always been consistent with their food, it's a pretty decent portion size too as I could never finish it and would pack it to go Overall - one of my favorite go to when we can't decide what to make or eat. Service is always good, food is great, and very close to the house read more

worst service and the food is small portion. their regular tacos are the dange same size as street taco for $20. and you only get 2 tacos. But that wasn't the bad part, we order food for our kids and the server forgot 2 people until 15-20min of waiting. The plate was hot but the food was cold. DO NOT GO HERE. It was not good. Service, food, and the price are upsetting. go McDonald's. it was bad. We came today around 1:30-2pm. read more

First time in, staff were so welcoming and food was excellent. Nice comfortable booths and relaxing atmosphere. Our waiter made sure we left happy customers. Will definitely be back. read more

We went here after a movie at the Kent Station AMC. Pretty decent Mexican food for a couple of hungry moviegoers. We arrived at about 6pm on a Saturday and were greeted and seated promptly. Our server Cristal was super attentive and friendly. I was not a huge fan of the sauce in the torta, but it was otherwise quite tasty, with nicely grilled chicken, quality bread, and a couple of sides included. I would not describe the relleno as excellent, compared to others we have had, but a rating of "good" seems fair. The complementary chips were so-so, but the salsas that accompanied them were excellent. Next time - and there will be a next time - we will try a margarita or two and see if a couple of other menu items warrant a higher rating. read more

Finally got the chance to stop in here. I don't get to this area much, so this one has been on my radar for a while now. We stopped in late evening with a couple of our grandkids in tow for a late dinner after an event. We were seated immediately, in the far back corner. I'm usually not a fan of the back corner, because as Patrick Swayze says "Nobody puts baby in a corner". To be real though, the back corner is usually where you get forgotten and your service takes forever, and this proved to be no exception to that fact. It took a very long time to get our order in and was basically impossible to get a drink refill or a refresh on chips/salsa. My wife went with the Chimichanga and I chose the Agave Enchiladas, because if you're gonna name it after your restaurant, it better be a signature dish. The wife was very happy with her Chimichanga and loved the Crema Blanca. My Enchilada was very good. But I was a bit perplexed as to why the menu says "Enchiladas"...plural, yet my plate had "Enchilada"...singular. To me, if you list it plural, that indicates more than one. When the server did stop by (because...far back corner where you get forgotten) he was very friendly and nice. The only downfall was, the only time we saw him was when he took our drink order, finally came to take our dinner order and when he dropped off the check. There was no other times where he stopped in to check on us, see if we needed a refill on our drinks, maybe some more salsa, nothing. Trying to wrangle two young grandkids over a roughly 1.5 hour long ordeal due to slow service was stressing to say the least. So in the end, I enjoyed the food. But the overall experience was lacking. I probably won't be going out of my way to stop in again. read more

Took a long time to be seated and then to be waited on. The restaurant is nice- large seating area for large families and groups. For the amount of people the establishment can hold, the place is not that loud. Small food portions for the price. Found that I received better service at the bar. read more

We have been to this restaurant at least three different times. The service is the same each time: incredibly slow and all the staff make it seem like they don't care about the customers. It always takes 5-10 minutes to get an initial service, and once we finally place a food order, it takes an unbelievable amount of time. We will not return. There are far better Mexican restaurants with amazing service. read more

Took in Happy Hour. Excellent beverage choices. Wife had the Agave Margarita which she loved. I had a beer on tap, nice cold and refreshing. She opted for the chicken taquitos off the Happy Hour menu and I went with the beef chimichanga. Hers were crisp and flavorful. She added a small bowl of refried beans which seemed a bit pricey. I had black beans and fries as sides. Some of the best fries I've had. BUT OMG! My chimichanga was seasoned perfectly and the taste out of this world. Meld it with ample condiments and we have a real winner here folks! Ate in the bar. Seated promptly and our server was polite and amicable. The ambiance was typical for a bar. Not too noisy, sports on several tv's. It was a nice evening and was surprised the patio wasn't open. read more

They count a 8 month old baby as part of the party and added 20% gratuity because "he's part of the 6" When i noticed the gratuity included, i asked why. She explained that he counts as part of the party. LOL I ASKED FOR THE MANAGER. And the only thing the server said was " if you don't think i deserve 20% then I'll have him reverse the charges". My husband, for the sake of both of us blowing up just left it as is but it is ridiculous that that was the response we got. It also doesn't mention anywhere that gratuity is included on any party ANYWHERE ON THE MENU. Food was subpar. Margaritas were wack. Not worth it and the service is NOT WORTH 20% read more

No Stars! Our daughter ate there with a friend on 06/19/24 around 12-2pm. She started to feel weird after a few sips of her margarita so did not finish it. She ended up going to Valley Medical because she still felt awful later. Turned out she had been roofied. Fortunately she did a lot right in a bad situation: she did not finish the drink, she did not go anywhere like the bathroom so was at her table the whole time. The manager checked their cameras and said he could see her at the table and that no one put it in while she was there. Then tells me there is nothing he can do since he is not a doctor. Not even a sorry! He apparently did not GET that if the drink was not roofied while at her table, it happened from the bar to the table will it was in an employees care! So be careful! read more

just had a dinner here with a large group and Charming was our waiter and was incredible! would come back !

Y'all need to keep Marisela at all costs. Without her this would have been a one star review. I understand staffing shortages as a retail and food service manager myself, but this was wild. We were told to seat ourselves and did so in the bar and Marisela our waitress came by and got our Happy Hour order in promptly before it was over. Very thankful for that. She also gave us some honest appetizer recommendations which was nice. It was obvious that there was only a couple of wait staff on, but it seemed like there were some managers that were helping out a little. That changed when some regular was leaving (not in Agave but in the walkways of Kent Station) and stumbled and fell on the ground. Honestly, the whole incident seemed very suspicious - she swore a lot, and started talking about how her doctor was refusing to prescribe her pain meds, et.. Multiple Agave employees completely abandoned what they were doing to "help" her. They brought her on the restaurant patio and helped get her cleaned up, offered her some ice, etc. but then two to three employees just hung out with her at a time. Meanwhile, Marisela is now waiting on the whole restaurant and bar, and making drinks it seems. Eventually one waiter started walking around a little and helping out. But he was moving like a slug, and we had to flag him down to get his attention even though he passed us, our empty drinks, our empty chips, and our empty waters by at least 5 times. He then went and got Marisela as opposed to offering to help us at all. We feel bad because we were obviously very annoyed and Marisela came over and clearly thought we were upset with her service. No, we were just mad at the managers who thought they needed to all play nurse's aid to a drunk lady. Eventually, she was just swearing and moaning "in pain" too much and we had to move tables because the experience just became too awful. Marisela didn't make a big deal out of any of it. Marisela, you're a true gem. Management, y'all need some serious work. read more

We went on a very busy night during a hockey game, which is the only time they don't take reservations, so go early! It was packed, but we got sat quickly. You get free chips and salsa which is a favorite of mine and my little. The red salsa is great, the green is SPICY in a great way. We were a table of 4 adults and a kiddo. Despite the business of the restaurant, food came out quickly and was hot. The menu is large, but everything is good. I don't remember what we all got, but I do remember there wasn't much left on the plate. I'll definitely be returning and will take photos! read more

We visited on Father's Day. Our party had their own personal ideas about the food we ordered. It was honestly whether you loved it, thought it was ok, or hated it. The following dishes with sides were ordered to give you a better idea of the quality and taste: Enchiladas Blancas - with spicy chile dusted fries and mexican corn. The tortilla was dry and the shredded chicken was super dry. Ever since my visit to Mexico, i always have to compare mexican corn dishes. In comparison, of course, the mexican corn was awful. Corn was dried out/overcooked, too much mayonnaise, and barely any paprika. The dusted fries were soggy. Tortilla Soup - chicken broth was rich with chicken flavor. Only problem was there was no tortilla strips like it says in the description. Tacos de Birria with dusted fries and black beans - shells werent flimsy and the beef was juicy. Only problem was the dusted fries were soggy. Pork Carnitas - was flavorful and the salsa verde was a bit too spicy. Keep in mind that the people eating this arent used to spice so if you like spicy food, this would be mild to you. Now onto the staff, our waitress was sweet and patient when we were being indecisive and when we had questions. Since the place was busy, i completely understand how long it took for the food to arrive and for how long it took for her to give us napkins and utensils. Although, there were times we had to remind her since she would check on us every now and then. Overall, I have been here before and have told myself countless times to never come back. No matter what i order here, i always end up not liking the food. I only come back because people tell me it tastes great, they enjoyed the food, and love their margaritas. But i get disappointed time and time again. read more

My partner, friends and I love to come here! Their food is delicious and their service is amazing. Every time we come it's always the same. Service, food and drinks are consistent! The Queso with chorizo is delicious and we get it every visit. I would say everything on their menu is delicious even the Diablo wings... who knows a Mexican restaurant would have delicious wings!? read more

We stopped by Agave Concina's for lunch! We were greeted and served by a smiling face :). Portion size was great and price was reasonable for the area, however my chicken enchilladas were fairly dry. Normally with enchilladas, there's enough red sauce inside and surrounding it to balance any potential dryness with the chicken. Everything else was good taste wise, and flavorful, epecially the guac. However, I'm not sure how much of that was from the salt. The next day when eating my leftovers, I noticed how salty it was. Still a good place for lunch in the area if you're craving a nice open indoor space to have some mexican food! read more

Came here for happy hour today with a coworker. We had the choice of being seated indoor or outdoor and we chose outdoor by the host. Giovani was very friendly, efficient, and kept checking in on us. I ordered calamari, skirt steak nachos, and a margarita off their happy hour menu. The calamari had good flavor and it was crispy. The bell peppers, jalapeños, and onions were all fried as well. It came with a red sauce and a white sauce. The red was more earthy chili flavor and the white sauce was a cooler, non-spicy sauce. The skirt steak nachos were delicious! It came with a variety of cheese, crispy chips, tender bite-sized skirt steak, onions, jalapeños, and sour cream. The margarita had a nice balance of all ingredients and the the salted rim is so good! :) I didn't take any pictures bc everything was so good lol read more

I didn't want to spend a lot of time eating while my car was charging nearby, but was craving some enchiladas. I found a perfect solution! This place is clean, and has a great vibe. The staff are very friendly. The service was lightning fast! My Agave enchiladas were tasty, with loads of fresh veggies involved. Portion size was perfect. Very light food, with no heavy cheese or refried beans. The chicken was kind of dry, but the salsa verde I poured all over it was dynamite, and made up the difference. Now, my car is recharged, and so am I! read more

Good drinks and food if you're looking for a bite to eat in Kent Station! We got the Carne & Chimichurri, steak fajitas, and agave quesadillas. Great flavor for all the dishes; the chimichurri sauce was delicious!! Steak was cooked perfectly and they gave pretty good portion sizes. Their service wasn't the best. When we got to our table, there was no silverware or napkins and even after our food was brought to the table we still didn't get any utensils/napkins so we had to ask another server for them. read more

5 stars for the service, our server Caesar (Cesar ?) was very friendly and attentive. Literally above and beyond the whole time. The food itself is kind of the reason for the rating, the sides of Spanish rice and fries and the Strawberry Limonadas were great, but the mains were the issue. The enchiladas were very mild in taste and nothing was really giving any type of wow factor. The torta was better but still not giving anything to brag about. The food is like decent, that's the best way I can put it. There was no freshness, crunch, or spice the way you get at other Mexican restaurants. Maybe I'd go back again? But not if I wasn't already in the area. read more

Disappointed. I called in an order to-go and the male that answered definitely needed more training. He wrote down the order wrong so I had to wait 10-15 more minutes for my correct order. The quesadilla contained a lot of lettuce which was odd but it still tasted all right. But it made me think that it was just a filler to substitute for meat or cheese. And I was charged $5 for the Asada meat on top of the quesadilla price. I also ordered a chili relleno which was ok at best. It was pretty cold because of the extra time I had to wait. I felt like much of the relleno was wasted by the long stem. Lots of cheese and the chili batter was not flavorful. When it got cold, it was almost impossible to cut. For these two items I was charged $40 and was asked for a tip. The food quality and quantity just wasn't there for a $40+ price tag. I won't be back. read more

Waited to be seated for 15minutes , no one in front of us. Hostess comes from the back and hands us our menus to seat ourselves ?? Waitress was good but felt like she was overwhelmed with the amount of guest she had to cater too. Took awhile to be serviced. Vibe was nice , great playlist. Food was mediocre, not authentic but that's a given it's an Americanized Mexican restaurant. read more

Finally get to try out this place! Pretty impressed with the young waiter and waitress who handled many people during lunch time by only the two of them. Keeping the people happy and make sure water glasses are filled. The decorations in this place is fun. We stayed in the diner side but they do have bar area. Looked at my fellow Yelpers's comments, Carne Asada is something to try. It was not disappointed. The seafood enchiladas were also very creamy. We also ordered calamari. Nice and crispy. Overall, not a bad place to try. While every where places went up by a lot, this is place is still reasonable. read more

I used to love this place and now I am wondering what happened to the quality of food. We recently stopped in on a Friday afternoon for a working lunch and while the service was spectacular, the food was just ok. I order the chilaquiles and my partner ordered fajitas. The chilaquiles was more soggy than I am used to--like super soggy-- and the flavor did not stand out. My partner enjoyed her fajitas, but neither of us felt it was anything to write home about. There are other Mexican restaurants that I would prefer to this one, but again the service was super solid. read more

We decided to try Agave again after 5 years to give it a try. Compared to the last time we visited the food has improved. The carnitas tacos were wonderful. We still though it was a bit over priced. Today the reason for 3 stars was because of the staff. At one point there were 6+ staff member sitting in an area out on the restaurant floor. And staff mask wearing was not amazing. Our waitress was great with the mask wearing, but there was one female waitress that had her mask below her chin while carrying food to a table. In normal times it is what it is but not during a pandemic. read more
