The food was amazing! I would give it five stars but the service was pretty slow. I feel bad for the server though cause there were only 2 people working and they were packed. I would def recommend this place though. read more

The manager, Chase B responded to my unfavorable review. Obviously Chase B had no facts regarding our dining experience and did not communicate with our server before providing the repsonse. When Kara brought our drinks we never told her we wanted to hold off before ordering our food. This is a typical B.S. response from management trying to place the blame on the customer rather than accepting the responsibility and dealing with the poor service issue. If you want a pleasurable dining experience, stay away from the Agave restaurant as management does not care about resolving issues regarding customer service! read more

The food very bland and not very good. The salsa taste like ketchup with onion and cilantro. The prices are too high for the poor quality of food. The chips were also stale. Not coming back here. Very disappointed read more

Definitely not impressed- pretty gross to be honest. Our orders were not correct, slow service, overpriced- disgusting food. Not sure how they've scored the awards from Trip Advisor. Save your time & money- will not be going back. read more

Agave Mexican Restaurant - Green corn tamale of grossness... - Mexican Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Being from California, finding a good Mexican restaurant became a 3-year mission for me while living in Flagstaff. After literally trying every spot, I finally found Agave and it is by far the best Mexican spot in town. They have the best margarita deals like Margarita Mondays buy 1 get 1 free and 3$ margs Mon- Thursday! The owner Kristina knows how to run a restaurant and definitely buys good quality Mexican meats. Plus the ambiance is super authentic it's like being in a little Mexico environment- super fun! I have brought many family and friends here that visit from San Diego and we all agree it has become our favorite spot to fill our Mexican food cravings! We seriously won't go anywhere else and Agave sure knows how to make a GREAT margarita! On top of it all, service is always on point too! Don't waste your time, money, or energy on any other Mexican spot in Flagstaff. Agave knows how to provide the most authentic experience the most! read more

Agave Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

This place is the absolute BEST!!! We came to Flagstaff about a year ago, and found this place and when it was AMAZING, we knew we had to go back when we came to Flagstaff a year later. Get the Azteca soup. Best soup you will ever eat. The vibe in the restaurant alone makes me want to go back a third time (and next time we're in Flagstaff we certainty will), its so colourful and inviting. The service was amazing as well everyone there was so accommodating for our various food aversions. When there was a spice in the Azteca soup that tasted so good, but we couldn't place, we asked the server what it was and he went into the kitchen to bring out a little bowl of it for us to smell. There parking right in front of the restaurant, and it was super easy to get find, right off Route 66. read more

Really enjoyed trying out this place. Great TQLA selection. The food was awesome. Great atmosphere with very good service.

Really heavy chairs, but that's my only complaint. Ordered the peach lemonade and veggie fajitas and enjoyed both. Food arrived to our table quickly and was well prepared. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed in the semi-attached motel & came here for breakfast. Our server, Alex, was wonderful, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the margaritas were huge. read more

This restaurant is a huge no for me. If you like Mexican food, don't come. It reminds me of something you might get in a hospital cafeteria. I ordered a chimichanga. It was supposed to come with enchilada sauce. They forgot. Then they brought me out a side of what they call "red sauce." It's pizza sauce! It was disgusting. The beef had a terrible flavor and the entire chimichanga was dry. My daughter got enchiladas and they barely had any enchilada sauce on them. Also dry. We spent our time just swatting flies. We won't be back. read more

Worst food. Terribly salty and served messy and sloppy. I thought maybe the server was new... but managment was even worse. 3 inedible meals and $65.00 wasted. read more

Agave Mexican Restaurant - Jalapeño Margarita!! - Mexican Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Looking for a place with good food and service and left with nothing but disappointment. Ordered multiple things and they were not only wrong but some never came. We ordered a simple burrito with beans, carnitas and cheese. The first time it came with unnecessary items and we asked to correct it. The second time it was still wrong. By that time everyone else was done with their food and was forced to eat something she didn't want. They had good lemonade and service but overall needs improvement with custom orders. read more

We are regulars at this restaurant, the food and service is pretty good...but when we went yesterday, it was pointed out that we would have to pay for a refill of chips and salsa. I get the prices are going up because of covid or whatever, but the menu reflects that already. The only place in town that charges for chips refill...I won't pay $4 for that. Come on, enough is enough. Won't be going back for a while. read more

We have been to this restaurant several times, it originally was decent, the decor is great the servers are great. Now we get into why we won't go back. Last night we went for dinner, after ordering, we waited 45 minutes to get our meal, nothing special, just the combos, The presentation was less than appetizing. The food was mediocre, at best, beans super salty. In or under my chili relleno was a stem that ended up in my mouth, and made the rest of my dinner unenjoyable. When it was brought to the attention of the manager, he had nothing to say, didn't even come out to apologize. When our server came back to the table, she apologized, graciously, but rolled her eyes when I told her we would not return. They must not need returning locals read more

Absolutely love this restaurant!! I have been here twice now and the food is always amazing!! The price is great too!! Highly recommend this place. Pictured is the chicken fajita! read more

To put it simply: Amazing food, great service, fun atmosphere, all around perfect experience. What more could you want? Highly recommend the Azteca soup. read more

Great restaurant with an unpretentious earthy and family casa feel to it. Extensive menu, including the flexibility to build your own combo and add ala carte additions. Chips are served warm and the salsa is great. Pricing is outstanding and fair, much better than their competitors. Service and staff interactions were top notch. Marlee, who served me food and drink at the bar is the BEST! Manager Christina even took time away from her busy duties to chat with me for a few minutes. Warm and welcoming, great food and service, and great prices. They have it all. This should be your "go to" casa for Mexican fare in Flagstaff, whether you live here or are just visiting. read more

Was there for over 20 minutes before order was taken. I had carnitas tacos and they were very dry. One taco had burnt carnitas. I couldn't finish eating it. Rice was ok. Beans too salty. Husbands orders not correct. He wanted ground beef enchilada, it came with shredded beef. He did not care for the rice or beans. When we ordered, we asked for spicy salsa, it never came. We will not be going back. They had salsa on playing and that was nice but the rest was blah read more

We were staying at the Econo Lodge next door and the desk clerk recommended Agave. We are glad he did. The place has amazing decor and is spotless. The food was really yummy and prices are very reasonable. A great place to get a great meal read more

Amazing Mexican food! Sit back, sip a margarita, and watch the train go by. Will definitely return! read more

- Found a peace hair in the salsa. - 3 of our meals came out in a decent time , I had to wait on mine for 15 minutes while everyone else on the table had their meals . - Seafood burrito tasted horrible ! , took one bite and asked to change it with a burger , they still charged us the full price for the horrible burrito and the burger read more

We weren't offered chips and salsa but other customers got them . I got a menudo it had no flavor . My friend got enchiladas the rice was burnt and beans were bland . Another friend got fajitas and they were over seasoned . Finally I saw one of the employees grab the ice with his hands from the ice machine !!!!! read more

We came in as a party of 5 and ordered tacos,quesadillas and a taco salad. The taco salad and quesadillas was great. We ordered carne asada tacos and the meat was really salty on both plates and the rice was very bland.After telling our waitress about our salty meat,he asked politely if we wanted anything else, and we ordered al pastane tacos and they were amazing. read more

We made a reservation for 8 on a Saturday night. You definitely don't need a reservation to dine here (at least we didn't) but it was great to have the table set up for our larger table complete with a high chair for the toddler. We were there on a Saturday night and they had a sweet young lady making balloon animals which was a BIG hit with our little one. Now for the food - I really like the Agave menu. There are definitely a few menu items that make it a notch more authentic than the average Mexican restaurant. We tried the nopales appetizer which had loads of chorizo and cheese a top the nopales (cactus leaves). It is definitely worth a try if you have never had it. I also was excited to see posole on the menu (only available twice a week, including Saturdays). The posole dish was huge and absolutely delicious. The broth by itself was so flavorful and then within the broth was an ample portion of slow-cooked pork (shoulder - I'm guessing), posole and vegetables. I absolutely recommend this dish. I also tried a tamale but was less excited about that dish. It was rather plain and dry. Overall, we were very pleased with Agave. If I lived closer, I would definitely be back! read more

We didn't end up eating here so I wasn't sure how many stars but we ordered house margs prior to ordering food and they were absolutely terrible, undrinkable! So we told our server, she took them and offered to bring a beer instead. We left a $5 on the table and left. I will say that their salsa was very tasty from the few chips we snacked on. read more

I would've liked to have given this more than one star based on the phone call and placing my order which was excellent customer service period but then when I got there and I had to repeat myself to multiple people want my order was and they tried to give me somebody else's order I thought maybe I should've read that my choice period that really pissed me off is when I saw a server sneeze into her hand and per health code you must wash Your hands for 20 seconds not supposably slap some sanitiser on it. No when I brought this to the managers attention she sat there and argued with me about this and I had to tell her I know health code you're violating it which scares me on how many other things you're violating with the health code. So the girl that tried to give me my food that was somebody else's comes and gives me the check in a nasty manner I told I'll pay for it when I actually see my food and I lost all confidence with this place. The manager who I'm speaking with and telling that there is issues now is accusing me of yelling at her when I wasn't even raising my voice. And then it gets better because then a customer started to try to attack me and you know she's wrong when she is shaking from head to toe. When I tell her It's a free country and I can speak my disappointment to the employees that she needs just mind your own business woman keeps coming at me and telling me to shut up I'm immature. I'm like mind your own business this isn't even about you do you want to talk about immaturity key back in your nose into a conversation that you have no business being in. Then when the server bring me my food she says might I suggest you go to McDonald's next time. How rude I will never go here ever and I hope this review makes anybody else thinking about going there to think again. read more

First, this restaurant has amazingly good food. I reviewed it in November of 2021 when we first came here. The Carnitas and Mojarra are superb. We decided to eat here again on our way out to California. On the way out, had dinner, again amazing. They start you off with warm and excellent chips (always a good sign) and lovely salsa. For the main dish,I had the Agava burrito as I wanted to try their mole. I love many different kinds of mole and try this dish whenever I see it on a menu. The version here is based on a mole negro but is in itself unique and outstanding. One can tell the chef has his/her own signature treatment here, the mole is rich and deep flavored and unique in its own way but again based on the dark mole sometimes made with a little chocolate etc. Superb. If you like mole, I highly recommend you try, perhaps just over chicken. The burrito was excellent but I wanted more mole so I think a dish dedicated to this over just chicken would provide even more of this outstanding sauce. My wife had the Tres Amigos which is a combo of chicken, beef, and the best, a large shrimp wrapped in bacon with another outstanding sauce, a cream-based sauce they call Portuguese; outstanding. You can get this as a stand-alone dish or as the combo above. Nice to try all three. The beef was super tender, the chicken moist and both had great flavor but the shrimp was the most unique. Beans and rice are also excellent, very good horchata. You can park behind Jiffy Lube according to a sign out front so no, parking isn't an issue (the main lot is large). Go early. Even on a Thursday night around 6PM, the restaurant was filling fast because the food is just outstanding here. Our waitress was Erika and she was lovely and efficient. Note there is some pretty fun and unique art all over the walls for sale; didn't notice this the first time we ate here. Bottom line, two dinners here, outstanding food and service both times. Pretty huge portions and for the quality and size of the meals, affordable and worth every penny. If you are passing through Flagstaff, make Agave a must try on your list of resturants. read more

Searched for a Mexican restaurant and came across this family owned restaurant. Right off the bat, Christina was amazing with her pleasant demeanor. The food was amazing! Everything is made fresh daily from fresh ingredients and you can tell. Additionally, their margaritas were also made fresh and were delicious. I would highly recommend this place this is just barely off the beaten path. The restaurant has a fun Mexican atmosphere, is big enough for larger parties, and SUPER CLEAN!!! We will be back! read more

Wow. What an amazing experience. From the authentic Mexican furnishings to the Mexican music in the background you really get a sense of the roots of this place. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I didn't have to even ask for more free chips and salsa they just magically appeared when I was out. The fajitas were awesome. Nice and hot and very fresh. For a lunch sized portion I was only able to eat half of it and was stuffed. An amazing deal for $10. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Agave Mexican Restaurant - Lunch fajitas! - Mexican Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

I'm very impressed by this place. It didn't look like much on the outside, but when I saw some mounted antlers and bull horns I was excited. When I went in I was astonished by the look of the restaurant. It's pretty, it's stylish, it's nothing like what I've seen back in California. I ordered the fish tacos and it was great. It sounds like I'm sugar coating the place but trust me. It's so worth it. And Route 66 is next to it. Omg churros are here. Lemme try em. Sky was our waiter tonight by the way. There sooo good. The filling is delish. The whipped cream the Ice cream. We gotta come back here. Definitely worth the money if your on a road trip. read more

Worst meal ever. Ordered chicken flautas. Burnt to a crisp. Dried out chicken. Waitress was great but the manager was not helpful at all. Won't be back read more

Thank you Yelp, for providing reviews! I've never been to Flagstaff and was just on my way through on a long road trip. I asked at Motel 6 where's a good place to eat. He gave me two Mexican options. I Yelped to see the reviews and decided to try this place. It was awesome. As recommended by some Yelpers, I tried to "hot" salsa, which was fantastic. I also had a HUGE bowl of Aztec soup, which is what in L.A. we'd call Sopa de Pollo. So much flavor that after I ate all the good stuff, I took the remaining juice back to the hotel with me to drink later! Server was quick and friendly and the restaurant itself was colorful and spotlessly clean. read more
