We have eaten here a number of times since we moved to Daytona Beach, Florida. Located right off the highway (I-95) in Ormond Beach, it is very convenient to get to when you are coming through. It was one of the first "Tex-Mex" restaurants that we stopped in when we moved and I was pleasantly surprised when we stopped in. They have decent and well-poured "tejano" drinks (Margarita's, Sangria's, etc) as well as a decent price. Like with most places, when you are seated, you get your salsa & chips while you wait. Drinks are quickly served while you review the menu. The majority of the food is what you find most places (Enchiladas, Carne Asada, Fajitas, Burritos, etc) however this is on par with most places as delicious. I have eaten at several places similar and I can tell you that this makes me top 5 place. I thoroughly enjoy the Carne Asada when I come here along with the Queso dip. Along with a Sangria or Margarita, its a delicious and wonderful way to end your day. I have gotten take-out and delivery and it tastes just as delicious. The portions are HUGE and are very good. I enjoy eating here whenever I am around and in the mood. A must try when you are in the area. read more

This place is so average it's not even humorous. The worst part is the service. Closed forty minutes early for no reason when I was there the other night and witnessed the rudest behavoir...I think this place is...waiting...to close down. read more

I'm new to the area so exploring new places. Found this place online and thought I'd give it a try. First impression was not awesome because the waiter was surly and seemed only barely interested in serving us. When I asked about options (spice level) and seasoning he seemed somewhere between bored and actually contemptuous? He laughed and said that none of the meat options had any spice whatsoever. After i received my meal I understood why. My tamale tasted a bit reheated; everything was bland. The whole dish became much better after dumping a whole dish of salsa and a bunch of hot sauce on it. It was very okay. Even though the staff were Mexican I think they must have to cater to Florida's retired population. read more

Agave Fresh Mex and Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

Best Mexican I have had in FLORIDA thus far! I got the best stuff. The queso dip is amazing (a big deep bowl of queso)--the salsa is FRESH--the Chips are FRESH--the flavors are bold and tasty. I WILL be back. I live in Port Orange so it is a bit of a trek. I have to pass at least 2 dozen or so other Mexican restaurants to get to Agave but it is WORTH IT! The interior is so unique and cute. The view from the outside is nothing special--but the interior makes you forget about that. OH and if you like margaritas--they are the size of a small swimming pool. Can't wait to be back! read more

We ordered Tacos & Burger (no cheese). When we made the point to make sure that the burger cannot have cheese due to allergies, the waiter made a little joke "extra cheese", ok. After 30 min waiting we checked, waiter said there was a larger order before us (which he didn't mention before), hm. After 45min he gave us the takeaway box .. and it had cheese - he messed it up. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and had to cancel the order, he gave me the signed credit card slip back and promised to credit the charge. Just checked my account, the money wasn't credited. MANAGER: YOU OWE ME THE CREDIT FOR THE ORDER YOU MESSED UP: $20.86, Date: 4/4 read more

I am a Mexican food snob. Most Mexican restaurants use a lot of cheap and processed ingredients instead of putting in the work to make fresh semi-healthy and tasty food...not this place! I am big on Tex-mex and authentic Mexican food and I can fully and happily recommend this establishment as a great mix of the two. Nice heat when you want it and excellent flavors for those not so daring. Try it out! read more

Went while on vacation here, had tacos, taco salad, fajita salad & the burritos. Everyone was delighted, the meal and portions were superb. We had the Flan for desert, GET THE FLAN! (thank me later). & most of all we have to thank the wait staff everyone(especially Marta) was attentive, caring and efficient. If only they had a 4 hr delivery radius ;) read more

Service was excellent. I had the carne adobada and it was delicious. I can't wait until I come back.

Food was good. Service was slow. When our waiter dropped our drinks off he didn't even ask if we wanted an appetizer so we had to track him down. Half way through our meal we had a new waiter....like ours left for the night and it wasn't even closing time. Not the best Mexican for having to stay for so long waiting for everything. If your trying to get cut don't take a new table then leave. read more

Great food. AWFUL service. Our server didn't even check on us after we got our food and made the busser do everything. We had to either flag him down or ask another staff member for anything. Disappointing. read more

Never a bad meal at Agave. Best tequila drinks around. Huge food portions (could be a minus), Great flank steak, best chili verde around and a staff who remembers you. Also has some of the best tequila brands in the area. read more

Fresh! The fajita burrito was filled with tender steak, and had great flavor. Staff was friendly and attentive. read more

Agave Fresh Mex and Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

We showed up towards the end of the night so we had as many servers as we wanted. The staff was great and extremely friendly. Apparently the margaritas are pretty good going by my wife's reaction. The guacamole is made at your table and it's delicious. All the food is fresh and delicious. Definitely going to make another visit. read more

This place has delicious food and affordable dishes, food is quality and it was a good portion, which I shared with my husband. Best margaritas with squeezed fresh limes! Great happy hour with dollar tacos. Friendly environment and very happy with our server Jose. It was worth it! read more

Like I have said before, being from Los Angeles, I am spoiled when it comes to Mexican. However, I have to say, this is hands down the BEST place I have been to in Florida. Great food and great margaritas. Unfortunately, it's not close so I cannot go often, but that might be a good thing. The food has great flavor, something that most Mexican places overlook. The house Milagro Margarita is awesome and well priced. You get a lot of food for a great price. We will be making special trips for sure. Love this place! read more

So far very good wait staff helpful friendly salsa great. Indoor and outdoor seating.

A quick dinner while on vacation we found this hidden gem. Great wings, homemade chips with less salt and not greasy. I really enjoyed their salsa. I wish I could take them home with me. Thanks for a great meal! read more

hand's down the best Mexican food, atmosphere, and service around! Don't get me wrong I find two to three other Mexican restaurants fabulous as well, however they are all lacking in one category or another in my book. Not AGAVE... we frequent here and several times have asked for things not offered on the menu.... NO PROBLEM! FAST, FRIENDLY, DELICIOUS, AND SIMPLY EXCEPTIONAL!!!!! read more

I have mixed feelings. The service is either excellent or horrible. We go often, and you just never know. The food is fine. My disappointment is with the drinks. The wine is a poor cheap grade. The sangria was worse. My daughter ordered a margarita and she felt the same.. Will I go again, yes. My my family loves the burritos and tamales. It's close to home. They are usually understaffed. read more

Taco Tuesday is my fave Tuesday and last Tuesday Agave was the spot to review. I liked the 2 for 1 margaritas and beers. The margaritas were HUGE and delicious! After 1 was lit! We could've easily split that special between us. We also got a 2 for 1 beer special.the beer was a little disappointing.it was flat and warm like it had been prepoured.we ordered and food was out pretty quickly.the rice wasn't bad and tacos were tasty.it was super busy.ill have to try it on a day where it isn't so busy to get the full experience. read more

well I'm so happy the food is like nothing I have tried before I love the guacamole and the margaritas wit fresh lime and agave nectar hand make omg is like nothing I have taste before and the food is super ;-)... read more

Agave Fresh Mex and Cantina - Agave taste 24 - Mexican Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

Agave Fresh Mex and Cantina - Steak and shrimp - Mexican Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

The prices are a bit higher than what we are used to, but so are the portions. The only real negative thing that we can say is that the salsa tasted like they used canned tomatoes. Everything else was to expectation for an Americanized Mexican restaurant. read more

My wife and I are new to Ormond Beach and we decided to try a Mexican food restaurant I had driven past previously. Well, I took a wrong turn and ended up going the wrong way, but when we saw Agave we decided to try it instead of turning back. And we were glad we did! It was a Sunday afternoon, and the place was fairly crowded but we were seated right away. The atmosphere was great - clean, nicely decorated, and Mexican music playing. Since leaving California two years ago I have had a hard time finding Mexican food that tastes as good as I was used to having there. My search is over! The guacamole, the salsa, the carne asada, the red enchilada sauce, the salsa - everything was just like the food I had come to love in CA. My wife ordered the steak-chicken-shrimp combo plate ($19.95) and the plate they served it on was as big as a turkey platter! (I see other reviewers have added photos of these huge plates). She will get at least 3 meals out of it. I had a carne asada burrito with red sauce, cheese, guacomole, rice and beans. I would normally consider the plate it came on to be huge, but not when compared to my wife's turkey platter! They also get extra points for having my favorite beer on tap - Dos Equiis Amber - and it was 2-for-1 Happy Hour as well! Our server was courteous, and accomodated a couple of special requests, but overall he seemed quite hurried and didn't have the time for me to share these comments and compliments. read more

Without being too over zealous I must say it was the best steak I've ever had how they can make a flank steak so tender is beyond me and I'm no spring chicken to steak and of course everything that went with it was very good but the steak just stood out so flavorful and so melt in your mouth and remember I am talking about a flank steak which used to be one of the cheapest cuts in the country. read more

This is a very nice place, very friendly. The staff is great, the food is great, reasonable price and a very nice location, definitely recommend this Mexican food restaurant to everyone. read more

bad bad bad. Food was bad service was even worse. Do not go unless you want to spend money on shit food and bad service. Go to Maria Bonita's same price much better food. I would give them 0 stars or less if could. I used to love this place but now It's gone down hill read more

Came here on cinco and it was fast and absolutely delicious. Beat Mexican spot in Ormond Beach.

Went there with family had a great time great food and excellent service! To top it off drinks are automatically two for one! Will be going there again next time I'm down here in Florida. read more

If the attentive service and large portions of truly good Mexican food (guacamole, beans, rice, fish tacos, a super enchilada, and a to-die-for flan) were not enough - and they were - we were thrilled to make requests and be serenaded on a Wednesday night. read more

I was getting a sandwich from a neighboring store and decided I put off not trying Agave long enough. I ordered 2 taco's without the beans and rice to go. They gave me chips and salsa with my taco's. They were the BEST Taco's and I loved their salsa. So southwest inside with a really great wait staff. I will be back for more. I'm really sorry I didn't try them before. read more

Definitely better than Chilli s better food quality and fabulous service. Enjoyed our lunch but my fajitas were too salty as the beef was kind of funky. Will be back and try it again. read more

Agave Fresh Mex and Cantina - Beef fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

Best vegetarian fajitas ever found in FL. Large assortment of fresh veggies. Great vegan option!

I have eaten here a few times and each time the food seems worse. The service was good, but the staff spent a lot of time talking to each other instead of helping customers. I don't think anyone that works at the place has ever been to Mexico, because the food is not even close to authentic. I travel to Mexico often and I have never had food this awful. I ordered an enchilada and tamale plate. The enchilada was covered in a chili (like on a chili dog) instead of a green or red chile that an actual Mexican restaurant would serve and the chicken was dry. The tamale was even worse. It was dry, didn't have much meat, and was covered in what tasted like marinara sauce (this isn't pasta, its a tamale!). The rice and beans that came with the meal were ok, but not great. I also ordered a horchata to drink, which was obviously made with a syrup and wasn't mixed well. In a previous visit I have ordered their special happy hour tacos and they are not even Mexican tacos at all. They are like Taco Bell tacos: beef or chicken with lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes (Taco Bell is better, but these shouldn't even be a choice at a real Mexican restaurant). The search for good (or even decent) Mexican food in Florida continues... Agave doesn't even come close. read more

Food is great and the two for one Margs on Tuesdays is an added bonus! You also get .99 tacos on Tuesday. Highly recommend!

Great place for a margarita, they make them fresh with squeezed lime juice and agave unlike most restaurants that use over sweetened sour mix and fake lime. The food is consistently good and they have a very friendly and attentive staff. read more

This is the third time we have been here and the service is horrible. Took 10 minutes just to take drink order then another 20 after that to take food order. And took another 30 minutes for food to come out. Told the waiter of my allergy he looked like he had no clue what I was trying to tell him. My food came out with the one thing I told him I could not have cause of my allergy. Also started out with bean/cheese dip and for the price I was shocked on the size of the dip for the price when other Mexican restaurants in the area have the same thing half price and larger size. Very disappointed will not come again. Also the Sangria was one of the worst I've ever had. read more

We just had dinner for the first time at Agave Fresh Mexican Restaurant, and it was fantastic. Excellent food - especially the Mexican Style Burrito with the steak chili Colorado. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff; great atmosphere; varied menu and reasonable prices. Highly recommended. 4.5 Stars. read more

We arrived with a large group of 24. We were promptly seated and the waitstaff did an amazing job of taking the orders, keeping everything straight Inspite of not being prepared for that large of a crowd. The food was delicious. The 2 for 1 Happy Hour drinks were appreciated and we will definitely be back. My husband and I were there last week and enjoyed the .99 tacos in the bar. Great place! Wonderful friendly staff. Thank you. read more

Fairly new restaurant in town, so we thought we'd give it a try. We sat outside and our only complaint is that the waitress wouldn't attend to us as needed. When we went inside, there was Mexican music blaring and the lights were dim. Food was okay. Go on a day where you aren't rushed and can sit outside. read more
