Ive been to Blue Agave a few times and I always have a good experience. They have great drink specials and good selection of appetizers to snack on at the bar. The Pernil is the best ive ever had..not dry and chewy. Clean bathrooms, nice outside patio. Only negatives are the sangria and the mosquitos. read more

Blue Agave - Hubby at the bar - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great drinks and they are quick they have a hibiscus margarita that is delicious they have an impressive tequila selection but overall I really good place to hang no pressure from the staff. read more

We came here for a family dinner and quite enjoyed our meal. We opted to sit outside since the weather was beautiful and we started with some nachos and drinks. The drinks were okay and nothing to rave about, the nachos were also pretty decent. The service was impeccable and everyone tended to our every need. The food however was okay and seemed to lack some flavor, it's really hard to get Mexican food wrong but blue agave somehow failed to make it right. The establishment in itself is pretty cute albeit small. Overall, a decently priced restaurant with just okay food and drinks. read more

Well the food was good from here but the last time I ordered the delivery driver brought me food from a totally different restaurant that was not only nothing close to what I ordered but horrible and about $12 cheaper than what I ordered from Blue Agave. I called the restaurant and whoever answered the phone told me it wasn't their problem. He said the driver came in they told him which order it was and asked to use the restroom and that was as far as their responsibility went. They didn't have to make sure the order went to the right address. He also said I wasn't in their normal delivery zone so they wouldn't replace the order. I have no idea what that means. If I'm not in their zone why are they taking orders from me? Anyway he could have cared less so I had to call Grubhub to get a refund but I will never order from them again obviously. The food I ended up with was so bad I tossed it in the trash I hope the person who got my food enjoyed it! If you send out food you are responsible for it sorry but I worked in the food industry all my life that's the way it goes. read more

Horrible customer service. An item in my delivery order was missing so I called and asked to just be refunded for it. The manager, Francis, got on the phone after I explained the error to the staff member who answered my call-- he was clearly irritated and accusatory, insisting I had the item in my delivery. I have no idea why he was so hostile.... it was simply an error on the kitchen's part - no big deal. However, I do want the refund for it as I didn't get the item paid for. I'm waiting on Delivery.com to resolve this issue and get my money back as he will not return their calls to authorize the refund. I'm so disappointed because I used to like this place very much and dined-in a few times a month. Never again, that's for sure! Bad business = no business ‍ read more

The croquestas de queso are to DIE FOR!!! The service is amazing, the waiters/waitresses are attentive and the place is overall spotless. The outdoor dining is a beautiful plus. read more

Stumble upon this place about a year ago during the summer stroll and loved it. Recently went last weekend for brunch and it was amazing! The price for brunch was great, the food was flavorful and delicious, and service was good. They have a nice little backyard area. We had the chicken empanadas for an appetizer and the steak and eggs for our main dish and desert we had the tres leche-YUMMY! read more

Went to blue agave and was seated right away . Ordered a ground beef burrito fries and a margarita . Burrito meat was not seasoned well and needed a lot of hot sauce . Frozen margarita was mostly ice couldn't taste the tequila , and over priced . Not the best not the worst . read more

I ordered food From blue agave last night and I was extremely disappointed . I ordered two tacos and a churassco I have never been more disgusted ! The meat smelled of mold I'm not sure how this place is still opened . I will never order here again read more

The food, the drinks, the service was absolutely amazing! One of the best tocos I've ever had and they are very generous with their drinks. Atmosphere was great with super service. read more

This place is great I went today which is Friday And they have the specials which was delicious. Also they have the DJ song Fridays and weekends. I really recommend this place read more

Blue Agave - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cute little Mexican spot with excellent drinks. A little on the expensive side but nice atmosphere. Food was tasty and fresh, nothing particularly outstanding but on par with the other nice Mexican food spots in Bay Ridge. Staff was really nice and accommodating. We tried it out during 3rd Avenue Fest so we got to enjoy outside seating, I'm not sure if the place is big enough to accommodate a busy weekend night so there may be a wait. Overall a nice place to relax with some margaritas and nachos, but I'll stick with spots closer to the house for comparable fare. read more

Great service and delicious food. I really enjoyed my three taco mix, which included fried tilapia, chicken, and steak. The tacos were stuffed with a lot of ingredients but they were easy to munch down without making a huge mess. Although the restaurant is small, it has a very cozy ambience and it's a perfect spot to grab dinner with friends. There's also a small bar in front of the restaurant. read more

A little hole in the wall in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, in between two other great tiny places, lies Blue Agave - and YES you have to sit in the outdoor seating because sitting in a Bay Ridge backyard is the greatest thing ever. Blue Agave is tiny but serves its purpose. I stopped in with my friend this afternoon for a quick bite and drink, and of course we had to sit in the backyard. It was lovely, especially with margaritas in between us and our tasty beef empanaditas. We both ordered the house salad and enjoyed our time as if we were sitting and eating in our own backyards. BTW their guacamole is to DIE for read more

I stopped in thinking I was going to have a quick bite before heading home, but the service and the staff were so friendly that I ended up staying over an hour. The food came out quite fast and was delicious and fresh. Between the bartender and the waiter I was talked into trying one of their amazing fruit margaritas (Tamarind) but instead of using tequila, they recomended I try it with mezcal and to my surprise...it was delicious and refreshing with a very unique flavor. They have a nice happy hour and different primos during their weekdays. They have a cute back patio área if one prefers outside sitting and a nice cool inside sitting with AC. So, if you're in Bay Ridge and are in the mood for good food and drinks...you should definately give this restaurant a try. read more

I was looking forward to checking this place out. It was kind of a disappointment. Ordered the shrimp burrito ($12) and it was totally BLAND. I kept trying to flavor it with the salsa on the table. Then the waiter brought us some hot sauce which had a very smokey flavor. I didn't like it at all. I ate half and took the rest home. My husband ordered the steak burrito and he also felt it was bland and even added salt and pepper to his. I felt the menu was boring and over priced. $8 for TWO tacos!? Really?? $9 for guacamole!? I won't return. read more

Perfect place to chit chat and eat while in here! Came here for brunch with my girls and wow we stood here for 3hrs+ continually ordering! It was that good! Nice Spanish music vibe and great service! Started off with the guacamole with chips and that was delicious! Fresh avocados!! Then we all orders the skirt steak for bunch surprisingly not planned! We were hungry after the guacamole!! Skirt steak was good portion for brunch including scramble eggs, more guacamole and potatoes!! I findihed my whole plate without feeling overly stuffed or anything! It was delicious and beyond great! Coming back for more!! Best was the pomegranate mimosa hands down!! read more

Came here during Happy Hour. They have great happy hours from Monday-Thursday. I think(!!) it's from 5-10pm? $10 off pitchers, so our margarita pitcher came out to be $24. Super delicious and they are not shy with the alcohol! They also have $5 apps: wings, empanadas, and other finger foods. My co-workers stayed for a little over an hour, talking about useless girl obnoxious things and the staff were so patient with us! Thank you Blue Agave for serving us delicious drinks and dealing with our pointless chats. read more

Hand down! The best Mexican food , the service is impeccable , we enjoyed this food so much and we are definitely coming back dinner was amazing the shrimp appetizer was sooooo good , the guacamole and salsa they give u is amazing , no beyond amazing they actually give u a portion for 4 people and there was only 2 of us , the prices were very reasonable and they have a full bar with such good drinks , again I want to talk about the service because everyone was so nice and friendly they even have us free drinks , everyone must come here , a hidden gem in the packed bay ridge area , they also have a brunch menu with 5 alcoholic drinks for 15$ which I will be coming for read more

Went here because my friends and I wanted some really good Mexican food to celebrate my birthday and it was closer to home than going to Manhattan. Was super impressed by their drinks, they're at a good price as well. Loved my mango frozen margarita that I bought another one after. My friends loved the food and we had a great time. The waiter was super nice even after we waited until the end of our meal to ask for our checks to be divided into two. They sang happy birthday and their flan was delicious and even went out of their way to bring us 4 free shots to celebrate. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

I had a pretty bad experience eating at Blue Agave. The staff was very impatient with my family and I, as we were waiting for one extra person. We ordered appetizers, which haven't even come out yet, when we were approached about ordering meals and said "still waiting for one person", then waiter looked at his watch, as if we were running out of time or wasting his time. Needless to say, that was RUDE and unprofessional. Terrible service. The food was not good, I ordered a chimichanga, I know what they are. This was not one. It was not deep fried at all, just put in the toaster for a few. It wasn't good at all. The appetizers tasted like frozen reheated meals. The only plus side was that the mojitos were pretty big. But that doesn't even make me like this place. I won't recommend this spot to anyone, and I definitely won't be returning. Get real, authentic Mexican food right across the street at Mandato or Las Margaritas. Blue Agave is bougie as hell, and only caters to the suckers in Bay Ridge that think they're going somewhere *cool*. read more

This is one of the newer eateries that has decided to make its home in Bay Ridge. My mother-in-law and I went here on a whim for a late brunch. They have a great brunch menu! Many of the options for food include a mimosa or a screwdriver. For $15 more you can have unlimited of those two drinks. Not bad eh? The drink menu is typical for a mexican place, but they have some fairly original cocktails available. They have a HUGE margarita. We are talking like Tiki Bowl size. They also have an Horchata Martini that I will definitely come back to try. That day, we ordered Juevos Rancheros and the Skirt Steak breakfast meal. The skirt steak was a little tough, but the flavor was not bad. Aside from the steak, the rest of the food was very acceptable and satisfying. My screwdriver was pretty stout! My mother-in-law's mango mimosa was perfect. OH AND I ALMOST FORGOT! The chips and salsa is house made fresh. It wasnt spicy but very flavorful. This was impressive for me. Most places dont make their own salsa anymore. The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The food was acceptable. I think this would be a win for you if you went here. read more

Avoid if possible. Food is bland, lots of cutting corners and reheating. Guacamole is not made fresh, instead made hours in advance. Burrito and quesadillas were dry and bland. We asked to sit outside out back on a beautiful day and we're denied because they only open it on weekend, having plenty of staff. Quality here needs to improve before I would ever return. read more

Overall great brunch! The place was not busy and the drinks at the bar took a bit longer than one would have hoped. The brunch was delicious. My only complaint is that the champagne used for the mimosas & bellinis is VERY cheap (bug-spray). Please fix this! Thanks, Eddie :) read more

This place is a hidden gem I found because of Yelp! I eat out in Bayridge often and have never heard of Blue Agave until I saw it on Yelp so I decided to give it a try. We came in on a Thursday around 6:30pm and they had live music being played which was a nice surprise. The restaurant is small but very cozy. We were seated and our server came over to tell us happy hour was over at 7 and to order drinks now if we wanted. I got a margarita on the rocks for $5, which was delicious, one of the best margaritas I've ever had and the price can't be beat. As an appetizer we ordered beef nachos which were out of this world, they were so tasty. For my entree I got the steak fajitas with a side salad. The steak came out on top of peppers and onions on a sizzling plate. The side salad came with a few pieces of queso fresco in it, soooo good. My boyfriend ordered the chicken burrito which I had a bite of that was also so good. The food here was delicious and the service was also great. This will now me my go to spot for Mexican food, I can't wait to go back! read more

Dinner Review Overall the food was pretty decent. Staff was very attentive, asked us several times if we needed anything. Really tasty mezcal Margarita, complete with chili lime salt at the rim. I had the guava one, could have used more mezcal, I didn't get enough of the smoky taste. Appetizers: Steak empanaditas - they were just OK, lacked seasoning and flavor.. Anddd didn't come with any dipping sauces. Mango ceviche - Maybe the pieces of fish were cut up so small they were barely noticeable. They should call this dish mango salsa with 3 shrimps on top. I always try fish tacos when offered. It was pretty good but again pieces of fish were too small. I liked the spicy bits of jalapeño with the smoky Chipotle aioli. You also get the option to add guacamole (a nice hefty portion) on your tacos for just $1.50! Overall good experience for low key dinner and drinks. read more

Was very excited to try this location. Came here around 5 one weekday. Drinks were good and strong love their mojitos Unfortunately I cant say the same about food. Orderd nachos and waited almost and hour to receive them. Once at the table the nachos had a lot of condiments on the meat reminded me of canned beef. read more

This place is absolutely delicious. I went to dinner last night and had such great food and drinks. I tried the guava margarita and pineapple margarita. Both had such great taste! For appetizers I had the jalapeño poppers and elote asado. I'm not a big fan or corn but after trying this one, I will deff order the corn next time I come to Blue Agave. The Jalapeño poppers did not disappoint. I liked that the jalapeños had shrimp inside and on the outside it was covered in bacon! The tacos never disappoint. I had two hard shell tacos. One chicken and the one ground beef, as well as a soft steak taco. I can't decide which one I liked best. All the tacos that I had were absolutely delicious! Truly love this place! read more

I ordered food from this place on grub hub at 11:45 they charged my card said they were making the order then decided they didn't feel like staying opened and didn't feel like calling anyone to tell them the order isn't coming.. so now not only did I not get my food I have to wait 3-5 business days to get my money refunded. read more

Blue Agave - Check out the time on top - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The food is pretty good. The servers are fantastic. However they play music like crazy loud on certain days and it is so irritating and crazy. They want to Make it like a club but it's not a club. There's no dancing. It is a restaurant. If you want to talk to your friends or your significant other, forget about this place. We were screaming on top of our lungs at each other. Even the waiters can hear our orders. Then they overcharged us on our checks and when we pointed that out they said well that's for credit cards if you're paying with cash we'll take it off - PRIOR to even mentioning that. So they're just overcharging at first and only say something if people catch it and speak up? That's messed up. Most restaurants state clearly on the check a the fee if paid with credit card. In addition, the whole time I'm trying to scarf down a burrito, there's a guy with a camera constantly moving around filming diners. The whole hour we were there. That can be overseen but still c'mon. So if you're looking to have a good time with friends enjoying food, sure go here. But if you're looking to go on Instagram and eat at a club light crazy environment and not be able to talk to your friends then go here. read more

Working in Bay Bridge makes it difficult to find authentic Latin food, I hit the gold mine with Blue Agave. Their lunch specials are the ideal portion size and their speedy delivery is amazing. Soo good I order 2 days in a row. Me and my coworkers love it very much!! read more

This place is one of my favorite spots in Bay Ridge. I've been here a few times. The food and drinks are always on point, and the décor and music are great (so long as you don't mind the music being a little loud). The brunch is a great deal, too (5 drinks for $15). The outside garden area is fantastic, too. They can be a little slow on the drinks, like they forget to ask if you need another or they take a while to get the subsequent rounds. Also on Saturday nights, there is always at least one family there with kids, without fail, if you're trying to avoid that. read more

Amazing drinks. Get the Mango Marg with spicy salt. Food and gauc was really good too. We will be heading back. Could be our new go to. Oh one more thing...very clean. That's a big deal to me!!! read more

Ate here for lunch and was happy. Nice selection for an 8.95 lunch special and very generous portions. I had pork, rice and bean platter. It was tasty, not fatty, and I cleaned my plate. Fast, attentive, friendly service with clean, minimalist design and good lighting. Granted, I was the only person eating here so I'm not sure how it would hold up under pressure, but it worked for me. read more

Blue Agave - pork, rice and bean lunch platter. - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Me and my finance just had an engagement party here and it definitely met our expectations as well as our guests. First we'd like to give a big thank you to the manager, Francis. He was able to work with us in terms of setting everything up and was there the day of to help out and assist whenever needed. Now for the restaurant side of things; the food is really good. Probably some of the best latin food in Bay Ridge and it's not necessarily even close. I've been coming here since this place was FKA Los Pollitos and the food is as good as it's ever been. A couple of favorites of mine are the roasted chicken with rice and beans, beef empanadas, and their guacamole. Their drinks are really good as well. Their margaritas are all fresh and they dont use any of that pre-made margarita that a lot of other places in the area do. This place is probably a hidden gem when it comes to their happy hour as they have some of the best deals in the area combined with quality food and drinks. The inside is a little small, but outdoor space more than makes up for it. We were able to have our engagement brunch outside and it was a real hit. If you're in the area and are looking for a nice sit down lunch/brunch/dinner or just wanna grab a drink and maybe a little something to eat after work look no further. This is the spot! read more

Came in here after high expectations from a trusted friend, but the bar may have been set too high. Although the brunch was tasty and in typical Mexican fashion, there is not much going on here besides that. Maybe It was circumstance, but from spoiled milk to multiple things from the menu not being available. The outdoor seating was nice, but even that had a caveat. The table we were sitting at was in need of some maintenance , and as a result , It was very wobbly at a touch and beverages were spilt as a result. However, all in all, I will likely return with the intentions of trying different items off the menu (perhaps during a weekday, as they advertised appealing weekday specials and happy hours). For those looking for a relatively affordable spot to grab a quick bite and a margarita, consider checking out Blue Agave. read more

This place is clearly cutting corners, and it shows. I don't know why they need to save money, but this food is rubbery. I hope you didn't make us sick. This is not what your menu says. This place is clearly cutting corners, and it shows. The worst. Everything was clearly frozen. The food was simply disgusting. We should have known, as the table wasn't set correctly. But, my husband and I have both worked in the restaurant industry (me for 10, him for 20+ and currently), and even though it was clear there was a problem, we wanted to give them a shot. We asked for spicy guacamole and received some disgusting mush that clearly came out of an industrial tub. Bland, gross. My chimichanga was the worst I've ever had. Frozen pork? Then, the server asked me how the food was. I asked if he wanted the real answer and he said yes- so, I explained that it was inedible and he said he was going to see about a discount. I paid and he never came back. I wouldn't not tip the kid, but the reality is that this is the worst place I've ever been to. Thank goodness I had pre-cooked a lasagna, because we didn't eat the food at this gross place. We are giving up and going to Kettle, Pippin's, and all the neighborhood's old favorites, I quit. read more

This place is awesome!! My husband and I were looking for a new place to try out in the Bay ridge Area and we came across Blue Agave! From the moment we walked in, service was with a smile! The drinks are great and they have a wide selection of foods for appetizers/meals. You can tell the food is fresh and well prepared.. we will definitely be coming back again! read more

Blue Agave - Tostones with Garlic dipping sauce - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Repost because someone reported my review :). Overpriced, undercooked, and platters were way too small. Waiter gave us a big attitude too when my girlfriend told him she can't eat their rice because she is allergic to tomatoes. read more

Is it good? Yeah...Is it great? No...Have been back more than one time? Yep. I am rather indifferent about this place. Nice inside, pretty clean, very good service. The few times I have been here I have always ordered the ropa vieja with rice and black beans and a side of maduros. It is always just fine...not overly flavorful...at all. The chips with guacamole are also just fine...chips are never warm and certainly do not taste homemade and the guacamole is pretty good...seems very fresh and house made...smooth and chunky...good combo. It would appear as if there is no one in the kitchen who has any passion for what they are preparing....just turning out plates... Will I return? Yes...next time for sure I will try something different...to be continued... Do I recommend? For sure, give it a try. read more
