Enchiladas had no sauce and a upcharge for sauce. Bland. A charge for chips and salsa. Margarita mediocre. Skip!

My favorite Mexican Restaurant in St. Pete, Margaritas are the best plus the trio salsa appetizer!!!

The worst food I've had in my life besides the one time I accidentally drank rotten milk from the milk carton. I ordered chile relleno and it tasted like egg foo young that someone poured an entire container of salt on top of. The queso fundido with chorizo a pot head at midnight whipped up in 1990 and then time travelled to 2020 to give it to our server. My wife had, I don't even know what it was, but it tasted like food taken out of the garbage disposal and placed inside a tortilla. We go to Mexico City and Oaxaca all the time and this "restaurant" is an abomination to Mexican food. read more

Best house margaritas on the beach! They're not pre-mixed and there's not that overwhelming sour mix taste. The food is excellent. We've never ordered something that we didn't like! Highly recommend! You may have to wait a bit, but it's well worth it. read more

Wonderful atmosphere, nice Spanish music playing and great customer service. Our waitress kept our waters full and was appropriately attentive. The tacos were tasty but a tad dry. The salsa and sauces were perfect to add on top. Fajitas were cooked to perfect and flavorful. #deelish #wewillbeback #goodbetterbex read more

Agave was recommended to us by family up in Tampa who spend several weekends a month on St. Pete Beach. I saw the 3* rating on Yelp while looking for directions, but we went anyway. We started with a pitcher of golden margaritas and the trio appetizer. If you're going to drink 4 margaritas amongst your dinner party, you're definitely saving money with the pitcher. I have made 1,000s of margaritas over the years bartending in a Mexican restaurant and these were quite good. The trio appetizer consisted of à pico de gallo type salsa, guacamole, and chilli con queso -- along with 3 other sauces of varying spice. Served with fresh chips, we really enjoyed it. We selected tacos (al pastor and adovada) for our main course along with a side of rice and beans. Excellent flavor, great way to finish off the trio appetizer. Attentive, extremely quick service. Would definitely recommend! read more

The place is beautiful. They have inside and outside seating which was lovely on a beautiful day. Good food, good vibes. I recommend for sure read more

So we are in the mood for legit Mexican and this place was recommended by our hotel Sirata beach resort ( which was the best deal I got on travel zoo) so we walked here. It's a small resaruaran inside but 9 tables outside in the strip ! It's Real no drama no attitude and wonderful. I feel like a townie eating here and it was all locals eating. We started with nachos and everything is made in the kitchen that day ! So nachos with guacamole ( it's a normal portion but I wish it was bigger) and then fried tacos dorados again fresh crunchy and the stewed pork melted in my mouth. My hubby ordered carne pork salsa verde and I got the mole enchiladas Best dishes and just enough kick to them. Finally I had to get an espresso and he got flan again perfect and fresh and I loved it read more

This is a great Mexican restaurant with fantastic food and great drinks! It's off the main strip but has seating both inside and outside. I highly recommend ordering the fish tacos and the margaritas! I also tried their nachos and steak fajita which was good but I think the fish tacos were some of the best I've ever had. read more

Agave is AMAZING! I honestly didn't expect much, but I quickly fell in love with this cute little place. We started with ice cold draft beers and the trio - salsa, guac and queso with chips. OMG - excellent! Fresh and delicious! We both decided on tacos and were not disappointed! I cannot recommend Agave enough. We're only here a week, but we will definitely be back before we leave. And the next time we're in town, it will be the first place we eat!1 read more

Great food and price but no free salsa & chips. Definitely recommend trying AGAVE. Ron read more

Agave Restaurant - Salsa & chips aren't free but the food is good. - Mexican Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

Sitting inside, the door mechanism makes the most annoying noise like Chewbacca anytime it's opened. Too distracting for me, changed my order to go. read more

I loved the food!! Had outdoor dining available, and nice bar area indoors with seating at tables as well!

The food is absolutely fantastic. But the service is disengaged. The people are friendly but no one comes to the table. The order wasn't correct and they did little to fix it. The good news is that the food was spectacular. Almost makes up for the shitty service. Pro tip: sit at the bar for your best chance at a great experience. read more

Always a great place to visit when in the SPB area. Great food, great service, great margaritas. Would highly recommend you try it out.

This is a tourist trap, the service is the worst, they asked you if you want chips and salsa and then they charge you for it, I don't mind paying for it but not if the are not good. My husband had the chicken mole he said is ok, I had the green chicken I asked if if was hot I was told not, surprise it was very hot. If you really want mexican go to Grand Hacienda that is really good they have free chips and salsa and really good portions, not like this place. read more

This place had the worst customer service. First time going here, looked busy so thought it would be good. You ask a server to refill a drink and they take forever making you ask them again for that refill on water.. I asked for a fork and another batch of chips and the fork took forever to get, never got the chips. Also, every Mexican restaurant I've been to, chips and salsa were on the house. This place you had to pay $9.00 for a trio dip with a basket of chips. Refills not included for chips. The server was also demanding. For tacos you cant mix and match which sucks making you get the same 4 tacos of 1 meat choice. Food was alright, I asked for hot sauce and the server goes what kind you already have some on the table. Uhm I guess that's how we talk to customers now? She doesn't give me an option of hot sauce at all. Overall, horrible customer service. No one in my party was happy with the service. We definitely won't be coming back here. There's so many other great places to eat and probably get chip and salsa on the house. read more

By far the best Mexican restaurant I have experienced. The food is so authentic. The food is bursting with layers of flavors. We ordered the shrimp ceviche tostadas, tamales, posole and chicken verde. I'll start with the shrimp ceviche it was so fresh and the balance of flavors and lime was spot on! Then the tamales, I have been searching for a place that makes them good and have enough meat in them and these hit the spot! Packed with shredded pork. Then we had the chicken verde and the sauce was so flavorful we could drink it like a soup!! Lots of chicken and nice side of rice and refried beans. Lastly the posole... a huge bowl of fresh homemade soup that was loaded with shredded pork. The flavors in this was incredible!! We can't wait to go back here!!! read more

Chips taste like they came out of a bag The wait staff could really care less about you. Nuff Said. Oh Try the Grand Hacienda down the road their chips are fantastic read more

If you're looking for proper customer service and quality food AGAVE MEXICAN IS NOT IT! Spent $45 on an OVERPRICED simple to go order! Two all meat burritos, one with no onions! Waited over 30 minutes as we got to listen to the staff argue with each other. We finally received our food and drove the 10 minutes home and to find out the burritos are covered with onions, the refried beans are nasty tasteless, old and cold! I called them up and told them the issue and the response I get was "no it wasn't" and "I would have to bring back the burrito to prove it"! really... That is the response I get - wake the f up and learn how to run the front of the house! Last time I went there one the waitress was so wasted and probably on drugs spilled a full glass of Sangria on me and proceeded to tell me "oh well they can't fire me I am like family" she was so wound up as she just snorted a ton of cocaine! Just a heads up to whoever is reading this, we eat out a minimum of twice a day and keep these local restaurants in business during summer months - Unfortunately living in a tourist town restaurants like these are able to take advantage of tourist and still stay in business! I would NEVER come back to this place! EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK! RR read more

They Don't even deserve one star. You don't want to know what we went through. They are the worst service ever. And we didn't even get service!!! Wish I knew her name. They'll cut you off after one beer. In st pete mothafuckin beach. Stay a morhafuckin way. So many better places in st Pete. Take it from me. I'm a local .... I'm read more

Typically being waited on by the owner of a local place is a great experience - they want the repeat business and usually take lots of pride in their food and the experience they've built for their guests. We were served by Elsa, one of the owners of this place. Our order was very complicated: 3 horchatas, chips and salsa, quesadilla and 2 orders of the steak and chorizo tacos. We received two horchatas from another waitress and waited and waited ... meanwhile another table is sat, they get their drinks as we're still waiting for the third horchata. They then get their appetizer - we're still waiting for our chips and salsa. Mind you, their appetizer was also chips and salsa AND guacamole and cheese. Ours, simpler and took longer. We ask her where our chips and salsa were and she asked if we wanted to order our meal. I told her the table next to us ordered after us and already had their appetizer, of course we wanted our appetizer before the meal - as well as our third horchata. Got the horchata, waited a bit more for the chips. Eventually got our food. I must say that cute taco size aside, the seasoning was amazing. We love chorizo tacos and this mix was delish! Then comes time to get the check - Elsa aka owner, hadn't even checked on us to see if we liked our meal WHILE we were eating. Once a girl came to clean up our table, then Elsa came and asked if all was well. Check time - instant 18% gratuity added. Apparently since they are near the beach they reserve the right to add tip when it's busy - heck if they learned to turn their tables faster and actually saw their patrons they'd get more $$. We had the 18% removed by another waitress. Elsa, aka the owner, never even showed her face to try to even remedy the situation. Customer centricity is not something this owner understands. read more

Very rude owner serving folks at the bar. I've been there many times and she is ALWAYS nasty. Many better places. VIP in Treasure Island is worth the trip. Otherwise try Grand Hacienda just south of this place for great food and friendly service. My last time there it wasn't busy, I think the terrible service is running everyone off. My feeling is the owner thinks all customers are vacationing and not repeat business. We are locals and like good Mexican food too. They'll never learn. Slyce just moved in next to them...so Agave will probably be closed up soon. read more

Food was alright, extremely small portions for the price. Margaritas were strong , I got the pitcher

Mexican, what can I say.... Most taste like the next. This one brought in a bit of fresh ingredients, similar to the taco tapas, very tasty, 4 small tacos with a couple sides was perfect. The Margarita s we're pretty good for a premade top shelf. It's busy, small and loud! Get there early and start drinking read more

Terrible service. Belligerent owner. The mole is good, but you can't have one stand out dish and an owner who fights with everyone. It's bonkers. There are far more enjoyable dining options on the beach. read more

So we were in St. Pete for a week and I wanted to try this place as it was within walking distance but the reviews turned me off. Over and over I considered it then on our last night we decided to take the chance. We walked in, were greeted nicely, sat at a table, and didn't have a single issue with the service. Our waitress was very friendly and checked in often. Additionally two other employees checked in once at separate times just to make sure we didn't need anything. You do pay for chips and salsa BUT there's a reason. It's clearly freshly made salsa with quality ingredients. They also include three small "shot glass" type salsa cups with your salsa order. The food was good, very filling, my only complaint was on the vegetarian burrito it could use a little more beans and some of the vegetables reminded me of what you'd get in a frozen "gumbo soup" bag. It wasn't bad though. As for serving sizes if you think they are small then you probably need to read up on serving sizes and what's normal. My burrito was HUGE. My wife's was as well. For the size of the burrito I found the pricing to be where I would expect it anywhere, not just on the beach. When we are back down in the area I'd go again. I'm sure service can be hit or miss but it's worth the chance if you're looking for some Mexican and you're staying in the area (or live in the area of course.) read more

Very rude person in charge. We live in St Pete Beach and go here quite often so when we had family in town we took them. We were told all the empty tables were saved for someone who would be arriving soon in a very rude manner by a woman who seemed very anti customer friendly. I was very surprised and embarrassed to have brought guests here. We arrived by Freebee so she must have thought we were tourists. Not concerned with repeat business so guess they have enough for now. We will not be returning. read more

Service was a little slow but food was worth the wait! I had a burrito and it was really good! They were very accepting to accommodations! The tres leches was AMAZING read more

The service was poo. The waiter was rude to my friends and I. When we asked valid questions, he looked at us like we were dumb and did not respond to us ONCE when we thanked him. The food was WAY over priced, especially for the portions, and the chicken was DRY. The queso tasted like water, and the guy would not split our check amongst the party. DO NOT come here. Might as well go to taco bell !! It is tastier and you get what you pay for. Service is damn near better too. read more

Love this spot! We always make sure to get the pitcher of margs with the chip dip trio. Special shout out for the crispy chicken tacos!

Service was very slow, not friendly staff, could sense tension when our table would ask for water or anything really. Waiter was rude and snippy. Food was good but cold. Waiter threw check book at us. read more

TERRIBLE. The servers is garbage. They are not friendly at all. It was so expensive for their shity food and small portions. I would give them no stars if I could. When my grandparents and I went it was not busy at all but we still had to flag down the servers. I'm just very disappointed. They also weren't wearing their masks every time they would go in and out of the kitchen. The bartender was wearing her mask under her chin and chewing up while making drinks. yuck!! read more

This is our favorite local Mexican​ restaurant on the beach. We always get street steak tacos and enjoy every bite. Be sure to order a pitcher of margaritas​ and the dip appetizer​​ that has salsa, guac and queso. The price point is good, especially for being where tourists​ visit and being on the beach. It is small so be prepared for a wait. read more

I'm always up for trying a restaurant that features street tacos and fresh margaritas, so I followed some recommendations to this small spot next to St. Pete Beach. The space is crazy small, with only a handful of tables and no room to wait for your table inside, only on the outside patio. It does have a cozy, local feel to it, and the bar looked like a fun place to sit but it was packed when we stopped in, so no dice. We ordered the queso fundido to start off, and it was a serving tray full of cheesy wonder spiked with a nice blend of spices, garlic and some very small shrimp. Very filling with the soft taco shells to dip into it. The house salsas are no joke - fresh and not lacking in the heat factor. You will sweat. The servers were quick to jump in and help each other out since they were a pretty busy, so there were only a few times when a server was no where to be found. The fish tacos were nice, with chunks of fresh fish and a heaping portion of cabbage and lime cilantro sauce. My mom and boyfriend liked the enchiladas, but the sides of refried beans and rice looked like they had been sitting beneath a heat lamp for hours. We ordered the flan for dessert and it came out hard, not soft and custardy like I'm used to eating it. The margaritas were ok, very light and not too sweet. If you're feeling like some quick Mexican food, it's a safe bet but nothing I would go out of my way for. read more

We've come to Agave a few times when we are in the St Pete Beach Area! They have FRESH and yummy Mexican food - my favorite salsa with different 'heat' and chips along with open faced and GLUTEN FREE tacos! Their Margaritas are PHENOMENAL and come in a wide varieties of flavors and tequila recommendations! It's smack in the middle of Gulf Blvd and walking distance from most hotels on that road! Head over and give them a try - nice small and quaint but YUM! read more

Stll excellent Mexican food, and decent service. We go early- but it was still crowded, so service must be hit or miss per other reviews.We're lucky- for us it's always been a hit! Excellent chimichangas with chicken in mole sauce. Rich with cinnamon, chiles, ground seeds (maybe pumpkin), and a deep, rich bitter tang of cocoa- one of the better moles I've tasted. St. Pete Beach is full of restaurants- it's quite competitve. Despite some neg reviews here, this place is always crowded- in St. Pete Beach, that means a lot. Keep in mind- it seems a lot of the neg reviews are BECAUSE it's crowded!! Keep it, Agave- you guys are all right by me!!! read more

This was a little surprise we stumbled upon. Fantastic tacos! Rating should be higher for authentic Mexican and great service!
