Great menu, location and service. Very friendly Staff. Highly recommend. Love the idea of coastal Mexican food as I worked in Mexico for 10 years. read more

Our dinner was awesome and we'll definitely be back to order more of the menu. Salsas for the table and toasted coconut margs were so delicious (great recommendation by the server!). Thanks for the nice evening in your beautiful space. read more

This place rocks! Everything from the food to the service and especially the vibe just crushed. Will be back as soon as I can.

First time dining here. We were seated right away. Abby was our server-very attentive and courteous. We ordered mostly from the Happy Hour menu-Guacamole Tostada, Seafood Ceviche Tostada, Wood-Grilled Oysters, and Chicken Taquitos-all were well-prepared and delicious! We paired it with a Pitcher of the Standard Marg. We also shared the Lamb & Sausage Platter and three Quesabirria (braised short rib, queso Oaxaca, cilantro, onion, corn tortilla, guajillo chile jus). We ended the delicious meal sharing the Chocolate Tres Leches Cake and the Tequila-Agave Caramel Flan-both very yummy. Will definitely be coming back and make sure you sign up for their Shucking Rewards Program that can be used at Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood and Oliver's. read more

Food: very good. We ordered the DIP DUO--guacamole and queso. It came with some really nice thick tostadas, but only three of them. Would've liked a few more. Chips are apparently given out for free. Three salsas were available with the chips. We liked the tomatillo and the most spicy one, but could pass on the middle one that seemed to be oil and pepper flakes. QUESABIRRIA --with braised short rib, queso Oaxaca, cilantro, onion, corn tortilla, guajillo chile jus was very good. 4/5 Service: Michelle was our waitress and was super attentive (almost to a fault) and friendly. She is a native Spanish speaker who also speaks perfect English. Have to admire that. 4.5/5 Ambience: brand new, sparkling clean, upscale joint in Cherry Creek Mall. High rent district and the menu prices reflect that. 4/5. Overall: 4 stars, but it was appealing enough that I would come back to try some other items on the menu. STEAK FRITES --6oz skirt steak, papas al carbon, salsa macha aioli, chimichurri sounded interesting. read more

The waiter was a really wonderful person... that said...WOW Drinks took FOREVER to arrive. Had chips and salsa without the Margheritas which were ordered first. Had a request for more salsa and told would need to charge extra though we asked for menu salsa to be held and this was substitute Margaritas really were so good asked for another round 1/4 through meal and STILL waiting for them though dessert menu given!!! Bar service overall so poor!!! read more

I stopped by Ash and Agave for a work lunch with coworkers. I will say this restaurant is a great place to have business meals. The atmosphere is great for conversation (not too loud and not too quiet) and it was evident that the wait staff were trained well to take care of people there for business. The food was good. We were all a big fan of the appetizers. The carrots were cooked well and tasty. The spicy tuna churros stole the show. I was hesitant when I first saw it on the menu but I'm glad we tried it. It wasn't that spicy at all but the flavor was great. The entrees on the other hand were mediocre. We were all a bit disappointed in the quality of the entrees especially because the appetizers were so good. The drinks were great. If you are a fan of mezcal, I would highly recommend the El Solora. It was just the right amount of smokey. I would recommend coming here for drinks and maybe just sharing the appetizers as long as you aren't that hungry. read more

I came here for lunch and could not make up my mind on the menu so I got a few things and shared with my co-worker. We started with guacamole and whipped ricotta toast. We also go the complimentary chips and salsa. I loved the salsas! There were 3 and they were all very different. I especially loved the one that was like a chili oil. The guacamole came with a ton of chips that had cheese sprinkled all over them and toasted. Delish!! The ricotta - also tasty!!! I had the steak taco and I loved that the flour tortilla was toasted and slightly crispy on the ends. Lots of flavor. It was a great lunch!! read more

This just opened in the cherry creek mall in the former California Pizza Kitchen space -- and I've already been twice and am a big fan! Modern coastal Mexican vibes here are on point! Great spot for a moody date night or happy hour on a patio. Plus super friendly service. What to order / what they're known for: - Agave cocktails and flights - Vegetarian apps like the roasted carrots and maizitos (fried sweet & spicy corn fritters) - Seafood apps like the baja mussels, barbecued prawns, and the best chargrilled octopus I've had in along time! - Raw apps like the sea bass ceviche and spicy tuna churros (the latter is like a better version of spicy tuna on crispy rice and a must) - The queso fundido, of course - Great salads like the Caesar for a lunch option - A meat locker of well-sourced meats for their signature lamb and beef dishes, including the most tender filet! read more

Upscale atmosphere with a creative menu and some standout dishes. The warm spinach salad was the real hitter. Rotisserie chicken was excellent, especially paired with the fresh green sauce and tortillas. Service seemed taxed and the flow felt off- our wood-fired oysters never arrived, and the appetizer and entrees came out at the same time. Dessert menu leaned heavily toward alcohol-based options. Cool spot! read more

Brand new restaurant and loved it! Their guacamole was delicious and highly recommend. Also had their birra taco but my favorite taco was Gaucho. They don't validate parking which is annoying but staff was great, good vibes, and super cute inside. read more

Just tried Ash & Agave in Cherry Creek, and wow--what an incredible experience, especially for a restaurant that's only been open four days! The service was absolutely excellent--attentive, friendly, and seamless from start to finish. The food was outstanding and beautifully presented. Every dish felt unique, full of flavor, and clearly crafted with care. It's not your typical Mexican fare--there's a creative twist that makes everything feel fresh and exciting (and seriously delicious!). The atmosphere is just as impressive--stylish, welcoming, and perfectly put together. Honestly, it's hard to believe they've only just opened because everything was executed flawlessly. Highly recommend checking it out--we'll definitely be back! read more

We were so lucky to be able to dine here before they officially open tomorrow 4/5/26. Literally everything was on point.... The vibe, the people, the service, and of course the food and drinks. We are giving it a 10.0 / 5.0!!! Cannot wait to go back. See pics for more details on each dish. STAR OF THE SHOW!!!! Papas al carbon (cooked in beef tallow, with just the right amount of garlic) dipped lightly in the salsa macha aioli. I'm still dreaming about these papas. 2nd STAR OF THE SHOW!!!! We almost didn't order this and I'm so happy we did. Cause you know you get good chips and guac almost everywhere. The chips and guac were truly fabulous. Just so that it's clear.... I have ZERO AFFILIATION with Ash and Agave. Just a foodie in search of fun and fabulous food & drinks. And such a small world. Two of the incredible people/bartenders we met know my niece Jessica Rivera (who is newish to Denver) very well. How cool is that? They are affiliated with Oliver's and Blue Island Oyster so make sure to get those rewards!!! #FunFastFabulous #FunFastFabulousbyGina #FunFastFabulousFoodByGina read more

Food and service were fantastic! Enjoy the ambiance as well. Vegetarian options were delicious. The beans and rice side were far too small. read more

"Ash & Agave completely exceeded expectations. My friends and I had such an amazing experience last night. We started with the oysters and prawns, which were both incredible, and the warm spinach salad was unbelievably good. For dinner, we shared the short rib barbacoa, strip steak, plus lobster and bone marrow, and everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The coconut margarita was so good, and every drink we had was excellent. Beyond the food, the service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance is just gorgeous -- such a beautiful space. Ash & Agave absolutely nailed every part of the experience, and I can't wait to go back. read more

My very blunt, honest review: this place is not worth it at all under any circumstances. I understand it's newly opened, but that's not an excuse for the level of disorganization and poor service we experienced. If it wasn't ready to operate properly, it should not have opened yet. To start, the front desk host made us wait even though there were multiple open tables. We had a reservation, yet it still took about 20 minutes to be seated. When we were finally brought to our table, she placed down four menus when there were only two of us, which honestly made it feel like she had confused us with a larger party and contributed to the unnecessary delay. After we sat down, it took another 20 minutes before any server even acknowledged us. At that point, it had already been 40 minutes total just to be seated and greeted, despite it not being busy at all (this was a Thursday). The server repeatedly walked past our table, and it genuinely felt like no one had been informed we were seated. When we finally ordered drinks, they took another 20 minutes to arrive. At that point, I was already telling my boyfriend we should just order everything at once because the service was so slow. (Which we should have no need to do so) We should have left then. By this point, it had already been around an hour and we still had no food. We ordered starters: Baja-style mussels, al pastor skewers, and whipped ricotta. The whipped ricotta and al pastor skewers were good tasty. Everything was ordered together, yet the first starter didn't arrive until about 30 minutes later. After another long wait, we still hadn't received the mussels after what felt like another 40 minutes. I flagged down the server at that point to ask how long they were going to take, and he proceeded to tell us we "never ordered them," which was completely false. I am not a patient person at all but when it comes to restaurants, I know that I'm not the only person there to eat but this server was really pissing me off so bad. Not only that, but when they eventually did come out, they had absolutely no sauce, tasted odd, and were honestly awful. At that point I was extremely frustrated, especially since everything was being blamed on the kitchen instead of any accountability from staff. Our main food didn't arrive until roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes after sitting down mind you it was a Thursday and wasn't busy till more later on. My boyfriend ordered tacos: the Gaucho taco was actually good and tasted like al pastor, but the pollo asada was dry and bland, the carnitas lacked flavor, and the beef short rib barbacoa was extremely dry and underwhelming. I ordered the salmon limón, which thankfully tasted very good--but at that point it didn't matter because of how long everything had taken. Drinks were also disappointing. The Paloma negra had an odd taste and a terrible aftertaste. The non-alcoholic cucumber pineapple drink didn't taste like cucumber or pineapple at all and also had a bad aftertaste. We tried to order dessert, but after waiting another 30 minutes, I just wanted the check and get the hell out of there so we canceled it. The server still brought them out anyway and comp them, I did try the churros, which were actually good, but that's the only positive I can say. My boyfriend got the flan and it was genuinely unpleasant with a strange aftertaste. Overall, our entire experience lasted over 3+ hours for slow service, inconsistent communication, and overpriced, mostly bland food. Way better place in Denver I later saw other reviews mentioning rats and hair in food, and I hadn't seen there reviews and wow need to be shut down honestly, after this experience, I'm not surprised by the concerns people are raising. I will not be coming back. This place is not worth the price, the wait, or the frustration. They urgently need better organization, trained staff & staff , and a functioning system for service. Also, the entrance is very confusing--being directed through the mall side instead of a clear exterior entrance made it unnecessarily hard to find the host stand. read more

Tried the new Ash and Agave. House margarita was good. Wasn't blown away by the food, but they are new and hopefully it will improve. The pescado taco had a lot of breading and couldn't really taste the fish. The beans were very smokey tasting. Was just going through some receipts and noticed we were charged $23 for the taco plates. The menu and website clearly state they are $19 on both the lunch and dinner menu. Went to their website to see if they had an email I could send a note to and no contact info was available. Just a heads up to check your bill. read more

Ash and Agave - Receipt with incorrect pricing. - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Not impressed. Sat at the bar for margs and it was so so. The service, the team and the drinks were all sub par. No chips and salsa. Margs were like a 4/10. The food truly looked good, but not sure if I'll be back. I know they just opened! So grace is always given, however, I didn't feel like the team tried to make it a great experience or really care that much unfortunately. Ambiance is dark and I think they're trying to make it vibey, but no vibe. I was so excited to have this type of place at the mall, but a miss for me. Or for Denver in general. read more

Great fun and friendly service, amazing ambiance, and delicious food. Had such a good experience and the bartender Diego was so attentive and kind. Will definitely be back! read more

Service was terrible, the worst I've had in years. They forgot the tacos for one of the people in our party. Forgot to write it down and put the order in. Told us tacos were taking longer than entrees?! Huh? How do tacos take longer than entrees? Scoop the meat in a shell and sprinkle the cheese on top, doesn't seem too difficult. Totally forgot the chips and salsa until after the meals were eaten. I will say the food that did come out was good but not worth going back because the service was so bad. read more

I honestly thought my meal was going to be great based on the banging salsa trio they put on the tables to start. They said they could make any marg a pitcher so we got the "toasted coconut" that barely had any coconut flavor. I tasted someone's mango marg and that was really good. To be fair some people in our group did very much enjoyed their food, even if the portions were small. And by small I mean they serve the rice and beans in bowls the same size as those little soy sauce bowls you get with sushi. A bit of an exaggeration but barely. My ceviche was soooo overly salted I could barely taste the fish. It was like the other ingredients were only there for texture. Decided to get a steak after the waiter's hype about the wood fire grill. That was a mistake. There was so much gristle I actually spit out the first three bites of it. And I'm not talking about just fat. I love fat on a steak. I'm talking crunchy steak. Fries were amazing but were also incredibly salty. Someone needs to chill on the finishing salt. I wanted to complain, but my friend was already stressed because we were with a big group and the waiter had an attitude from the moment we sat down. Also my dude, don't offer to pour a beer if you don't know how!!! Hillary Clinton could have poured less foam. Honestly management should have had a second waiter on our table cuz this guy was struggling and getting upset when a big chunk of the checks were wrong and we wanted them fixed. To top it off when my friend asked if they do desserts for birthdays the waiter said "well if you order a dessert I'll put a candle on it". Really sucky experience all around! read more
