    One of our favorite happy hour margarita highlights! Matty and Cody are super awesome fun bartenders! The tequila selection is epic! Very cool casual inviting ambiance and dog friendly too! Tacos are yum ! And Matty and Cody are known by many of the locals.

    Southern Pork, Jerk Chicken, and Veggie with Beef
    Rhett B.

    I had been eyeing Taco Agave for a while since I have been making visits to Pensacola a few times a year. Today, it was located very conveniently as I attended Pensacon. I had viewed the menu a few times and thought that it was one place I had to try. Sadly, it ended in disappointment. Taco Agave? More like Taco Atrocious for me. For Pensacon, I think they had a limited menu. You had the starters to pick from and 7 different tacos to choose. I picked the Veggie and added ground beef, jerk chicken, and Southern BBQ pork. I started with the Veggie that came with ingredients such as some kind of black bean salad and sriracha ranch. I feel like I actually messed this one up by adding ground beef. The ground beef didn't go well with other ingredients and was bland. The next one was the jerk chicken. Pineapples and fried onions made this taco edible. The chicken did not have one bit of jerk flavor to it. There was some kind of yellow possibly jerky flavored mustard on it. But the chicken was so bland, it didn't help. The Southern pulled pork had Chipotle aioli, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, pickles, and collards on it. I don't like collards so I took that off immediately. I didn't taste much BBQ sauce on the taco. The pulled pork was better than the ground beef and jerk chicken. But overall, it was underwhelming. The place is also very small. They do put tables outside that helps. Also, they seem to be understaffed with one guy at the bar trying to manage everyone until finally a waitress came in to help. I had high hopes for Taco Agave. The presentation was good. But the execution on the other hand was not satisfying.

    Tacos were very good! Well except for the regular taco, it tasted like beans, not beef. Otherwise all were very good. We ordered a variety and were not disappointed. One thing you should be aware of- This place is A BAR! So, you order at the bar after checking out the menu! There was some table service but it appears that is done by one of the two bar tenders working at any given time. However, it didn't appear to be an issue. We had no complaints. It was just a little different, I would advise that you think of and try to ask for everything you think you'll need up front. This place gets pretty busy! There is not a great deal of seating, so if you're in a party of at least 2 people, it may be a good idea that one of you grab seats and the other order if possible. That way you're sure to have seats. We were in a party of 6, and were lucky enough to grab 2 tables to join for our meal. Full bar and good selection of food. I'd recommend this spot. I'll be back. Update: I returned to this location and the tacos are still full of meat and toppings, which is a plus. I was literally full after 1.5. But sadly, the tacos weren't as good as pre-Covid. Perhaps that will go back to normal soon. I was however very disappointed to find out that the updated menu on line contained a "Taco Trio" Special, (Buy any 3 tacos and get $3.00 Off) That the restaurant is NOT honoring. The lady literally said to me: "I keep hearing about this Trio special thing from people, but I have no idea what it is". So I showed her on my phone. She then said "Well I don't know anything about it." I said, so I take it that means, no special? She stated "Yes." Didn't ask a manager, a cook, another worker, nothing! I spend a lot on eating out. So the $3.00 wasn't a big savings for me. BUT, if you advertise a Special, you should honor it. Your customers deserve that. So, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth (So to speak) with the lack of honesty here, and frankly I now have a lack of respect for this business. Which really does sadden me. I look forward to my visits here. Well, I did...

    Grouper taco & Southern Pulled pork taco with the margarita special.
    Mathena W.

    Oh my goodness these are the best street tacos I have ever had in my life! I got the southern pulled pork taco and a grouper taco and both were flavorful and just perfect! The bartender was very attentive while I sat outside on the curbside! Come in as soon as they open for the freshest of tacos!

    Cool atmosphere.  Good modern music.

    Jordan was great and even came to the table with water. Strawberry jalapeño cocktails were spicy but not too much so. They will be a great summer favorite! Cenoté tequila Margaritas were tangy and worth the price. Tuna pink taco was fresh and light with a tuna tartare and light sauce. The steak was probably my least favorite and the main reason for the 4 star that should be 4.5. as it tasted and texturally resembled a pot roast. Shrimp was great by my taste, flavorful, and fresh however my company was not overwhelmed by its profile. My friend preferes the grouper taco as it was light and flakey and flavorful. Just not a personal favorite of mine, i prefer big bites of grouper. Over all we were satisfied with this cantina style atmosphere. We will be back.

    Pensacola's best tacos! If you're looking for friendly + attentive service (I mean like real southern hospitality!), good margaritas, yummy queso + chips, and GREAT tacos, come. Here. This is your spot! Everything I have had on the menu is incredible! If they are offering margarita SLUSHEES, do that instead! They are better, in my humble margarita opinion. Can't wait to get back here! It's also in the perfect location with so much to do within walking distance.

    Quest with Chorizo-AMAZING! Taco prices a bit high for my liking, but are different than the average taco. Great outdoor seating

    Strawberry jalapeño margarita is the best drink they have and then dessert you have to try the chocolate churros.

    Flavors were too overbearing on most of the tacos. Drinks were great and good ambiance. Very small spot with not a lot of space.

Kaley, the bartender worked well with all our guests, including the kids and non-alcohol drinkers. They loved her mocktails! Definitely recommend this venue!

    Where do I even begin?…read more We had our wedding at Garden & Grain this weekend and it was absolutely flawless. I have to start with the most important parts of our day which were Cara & Jadyn, our event coordinators and Nick & Jesse, our bartenders. Cara and Jadyn were literal earth-movers and magic makers. These two helped us get everything decorated and torn down with absolute ease (and we had an awful lot of decor we brought in.) By the time we moved into the ceremony, Jadyn was everywhere ensuring we started when we were ready, the guests were ready for us to enter, and just made us feel so at ease. We heard from so many guests that they didn't even realize the chairs got moved from the garden into the grainhouse between because it was so fast and flawlessly executed. These folks were so stealthy bringing 75 chairs between different spaces. Bravo. Our caterer was just arriving as we were about the walk the aisle. We had no idea the chaos that was ensuing behind the scenes that Jadyn and the team worked out as quickly as possible and without our guests even recognizing there was a delay in the start time of the food service. Obviously catering is a huge part of the day, and it would have been so stressful had we realized they were 30+ minutes behind. The execution of our wedding could not have happened flat out without these two wonderful people. We are so grateful for you both, Cara and Jadyn. You deserve all the praise in the world and are absolutely amazing event coordinators. Oh, and Jadyn, thanks for never letting us have a drink less than half full - your impeccable attention to detail is what every event coordinator should strive for. Now, the other critical aspect to a wedding is bar service. Nick and Jesse had those drinks flowing non stop all night. There was never a guest waiting in line or without a drink from before the ceremony to last moments. Our guests were complimenting all night on how amazing the bar service was. We are a family with one side from New Orleans, we know how to party and going into it with 2 bartenders for 75 people who know how to have a good time was an anxiety for us, but there was not a single mishap in the bar service and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our guests or us. Not to mention, every time I looked at Nick or Jesse, they were both smiling and so happy to be there with us - it meant a lot to feel like your vendors were a part of your wedding. The space lent itself so naturally to our ceremony and reception. It was beautiful, cozy, clean, and just 100% our vibe. Our guests also complimented all night on what a cool venue we had. If you're thinking about booking an event, particularly a wedding here, don't hesitate. There's not a dang thing I would change about Garden & Grain, Perfect Plain and the people they had assisting us and our guests throughout the event. Being able to look back and see how smoothly things ran is every Bride's dream, and without a doubt you will have the same experience that we did here. Thank you G & G/Perfect Plain/Perennial Hospitality for the amazing experience on our wedding date. You have no idea what this meant to us. It means even more to feel that you guys actually enjoyed being there with us. Pat yourselves on the back and know that you are shining examples of what a wedding venue is supposed to operate like. Cheers to you guys, thank you once again for everything!

You can make a meal with a something similar to a bowl of ramen, or get tapas. We opted for tapas, 2 per person is about enough for a normal meal portion. In order of my preference, we ordered the following: 1. Ribs. The ribs were out of this world, and I don't even like ribs. They had a ginger, soy/teriyaki flavor, lots of tender meat, so good I used the sauce with the fries. 2. Tuna tacos. They were present as large chunks of seared tuna with excellent toppings, and hard shells. I would have preferred soft tacos, but still excellent. 3. Bao chicken bao cow. Very good, 2 steamed buns with meat and veggies, similar to a mini banh mi. 4. Ceviche. Good, but a very small portion, enough for 5-6 bites, not with the price per portion. 5. Duck fries. Good flavor, but no longer offered with poutine, which is what made it stand out in the first place. Not very original compared to other dishes. My wife also bought the kiss of the prom queen drink, which was extremely tart, which she loved and I hated ha. Mandy was our server, very friendly and genuine with perfect recommendations. We brought our baby too, no high chairs available, but we brought our own portable one.
