A very friendly and unique area that I found after feeling ill from walking in the 100 Houston heat. When I walked in, I remember the bar mgr went around with concern and he handed me water after water, they offered chips and salsa, the chips were fresh made and perfect texture and warm. I'm not a typical fan of salsa but they made one with beans and vegetables that was incredible. Everyone there had good vibes and I will be back to have lunch or dinner in the future. read more

Just gorgeous!! Savory, sazón, ambiance just great!! From the beginning, service is beyond my expectations, food!! Savory and ambience just homie,chill, sazón dance rhythm. We enjoy the entire time and the entire dinner, the dishes "mole" ceviche", margarita de coco and mojitos!! The salsas and beans and chips, everything was delicious. The mole!! I am from Mexico and I can tell you it's the MOLE!! Not an imitation, but just perfection. The ceviche was something different but enjoyed every bite, spicy but always coming back for the next bite!! The chips thin, crunchy and not salty nor greasy! Not sweet! Which I was surprised because many places always have the sweet chips and yukkk but here was perfect!!! The ambiance!! So chill, but the music added that touch, I can see a dance floor outside , would definitely come and dance!!! The place is beautiful in and out, every detail reminds me of my Mexico!! Hidden place and the ell worth the drive from where ever you are!! Decor aid just very homie, in rancho in the middle of Houston!! Goosebumps all over Let me tell you about Luna!! She was beyond sweet and courteous and genuine!! Loved her vibe and her happy and joyful smile welcoming and making sure we had everything, thank you Luna. Keep that beautiful smile and such amazing vibe!!! read more

This is honestly one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had in a very long time, especially because this is a place we used to come to regularly and genuinely enjoyed. We came tonight for a rare date night without our kids, specifically because we've always known this place for having great food, live music on Saturdays, and a fun, lively atmosphere. The difference from what this restaurant used to be was noticeable from the second we walked in. For a Saturday night, the place was practically empty, which immediately seemed strange. We went out to the patio and there was absolutely no atmosphere. None of the TVs were on, there was no music playing, no live music, nothing. When we asked about the music, we were told that the speakers "haven't worked for a long time now." For a restaurant that has always been known for its lively atmosphere and Saturday night music, that was pretty shocking to hear. Then came the menus. We waited quite a while just to get menus, only to find out that apparently they didn't even have enough menus for the customers who were there , despite the restaurant being nearly empty. When we finally received one, our table of FOUR PEOPLE was asked to share ONE MENU between all of us. I honestly couldn't believe it. It was awkward and embarrassing for everyone sitting at the table to have to pass one menu around just so four adults could figure out what they wanted to order. I also asked multiple times for a drink menu and never received one. Then, after finally getting to look at the food menu, we started trying to order and were told that a huge portion of the items listed were no longer available. At that point, I finally asked what was happening because the decline in literally every aspect of this restaurant was impossible not to notice. We were simply told: new owners and new management. Unfortunately, that explained a lot. It is genuinely sad to see what has happened to a place we used to really enjoy. This isn't a review from someone who came here once and simply didn't like it... we've been here many times before, which is exactly why the difference was so shocking. The atmosphere, organization, menu availability and overall experience have declined dramatically. No live music on a Saturday. No music at all. TVs off. Speakers apparently broken for a long time. Not enough menus for an almost empty restaurant. Four people being asked to share a single menu. No drink menu despite repeatedly asking for one. And then finally discovering that a large portion of the food menu isn't even available. This doesn't feel like the same restaurant anymore. I sincerely hope the new ownership and management turn things around quickly because, based on what we experienced tonight, I genuinely worry that this place won't be around much longer if things continue this way. We came here expecting a fun Saturday night date at a restaurant we already knew and liked, and instead had one of the worst and most disappointing dining experiences we've had in years. It's honestly just sad to see a place we enjoyed going downhill this quickly. read more

Mexican flavours and great food selection. Service and atmosphere: This is a big and very well decorated restaurant with many seating areas inside and outside. The restaurant offers very nice open bar area too. There is plenty of parking space outside. The service was friendly and attentive. Food and drinks: The menu offers great selection of many traditional dishes which are a bit elevated. The ceviche was well plated and was packed with flavour and different types of seafood. Addition of avocado and grapefruit elevated the dish. Beef fajitas was cooked medium rare as requested. The meat was tender very well seasoned. Tres leches cake was very moist and not overly sweet. Pricing: $$/$ - the prices are justified by quality of food and great atmosphere. read more

It's been here for years, but this was the first time to visit, and would recommend stopping in when you're in the area. We were a table of 5, popping in around 1230. Our waitstaff were very customer service and attentive. The menu choices are a little different from your typical Mexican menu options - and everything was delish! Their salsa is a huge plus! read more

I came with a few coworkers for a quick lunch. The chips and salsa were great. The salsa is served warm and is clearly homemade, it has the perfect level of spice. I had the Watermelon and Jalapeño Salad as my entree. It was refreshing and was plated beautifully, I would order it again and again. My coworkers also enjoyed every bite of their dishes as well. I would recommend! read more

Setting: ALL THE STARS! LOVE that they have an outdoor play area. There is a ton of outdoor seating, including sun shades and outdoor bar. Very nice! Service: no complaints. Now for FOOD. I couldn't decide between 3 or 4 but based on the good i went with four. Seafood enchiladas: comes with shrimp, scallops, avocado. the scallops were perfectly cooked. Melt in your mouth good. However, there was a taste that wasn't bad, just different. Almost citrus or sour but not heavy with lime. Not sure I'd order again, but again, not bad Kids cheese enchiladas: big portion and fully stuffed with cheese. Was really good actually! It wasn't stringy, which is an auto deduction for me. Cheese should be creamy in an enchilada. No comment on refried beans, i don't prefer them. Rice, while o really liked it, it was heavy on the veggies (green onions, bell peppers, tomatoes) Beef fajita al carbon: don't think I've been served al carbon this way, it was pleasing to the eye. The beef was tender and perfectly cooked. Topped with their white queso. I enjoyed the texture and flavor, but.... There is a lingering flavor. Not smoke, maybe charred. Whatever they did, they could omit that and it would've been 100%. Charro beans were great, soft and flavorful. For me, rice was fantastic. I loved the carrots, peppers, green onions, etc. delicious Forgot chips and salsa! Chips were the perfect crisp with the right consistency to be a great vessel for salsa. The salsa.... Was good, nothing to "write home" about. Margarita was great. Would like to come back and get a whole new round of food and come back with an update. ...and enjoy the outdoor setup! read more

Staff members were very friendly! We ordered fish tacos, nachos, kids meal crunchy beef taco, and kids meal chicken strips. Everything was amazing and definitely homemade from scratch. We are not from the area but would definitely return if we're in this area again! read more

Everything was good especially being out on the patio. Kids can play at the playground that's on the property nearby so it's great. Food was good but ribs were abit dry. An order was wrong but it was completely fixed in a matter of minutes. The drinks were good as well. The only complaint was the parking as it's narrow. And it's a one way in and out so don't park way in the back by the tree! read more

I always love the food here but I've never provided a review. Popped in for lunch one day. Food is always well prepared and fast. Servers are extremely polite and check on you frequently. This a great location for kids because they have an outdoor play area. read more

The food is great, but the service is even better. The staff came by multiple times, guessed my needs before they came out (more napkins, more salsa, etc) and my food and super cold Modelo with a frosty mug came out super fast. It was a Sunday around 3:30 and they were not busy so maybe that's why, but it was superb and I'll definitely be back. I ate out on the patio and watched the traffic while taking in some fresh air.

Blue Agave Cantina - Beer on the patio. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is a nice surprise and a good alternate to the restaurant across the street. The service is good. The waiter was very attentive. when you walk in the restaurant, it's real dim, cozy and then there's a patio in the back. when you walk to the patio it's more like a outdoor oasis With plenty of seating. The chips and salsa is really good. The salsa was not spicy but lack something. I can't say what it lacked, although it was good. Whatever it was lacking, if it was added it would've taken it up a notch. The nachos were good. The enchiladas and crispy taco was good. The rice and beans were great. The fajitas were good and the shrimp or excellent. I would definitely try again and recommend. read more

The ambiance was amazing, the outdoor seating is gorgeous. It's all gated in, so if you have kids they will have fun! There's a playground. The food was honestly not good.... Way over priced and not enough love or effort put in. I really liked the hostess Anna, she was very kind. Wait staff was great, only complaint is the food & the drinks were pretty pricey and tiny. read more

This place used to be a bit up scale it's no longer that. Around 5 pm we took my MIL to enjoy nice food and good conversation we thought it would be a good idea but not for what we were looking for. I suppose this is a great place for people that love loud, music, drinks, and fast service. So if that's what you're looking for this is the place. Besides there's a pub that you can go to if you want to keep going. We did see big families so accommodating to big crowds is their thing too. If I was who I was 12 years ago this would be the right place so I would give it a five star rating but because things change and people change....key word CHANGE I would give it a 3. But if I'm being fair a 3.5 would be ideal. Gave it a 4 because my expectations are my own but the place works for the crowds. read more

The staff & atmosphere is great, unfortunately the food wasn't good, the tortillas were not homemade, nor was anything else. I would not recommend if you eat Mexican food regularly and have higher standards for it. read more

We enjoyed our dinner at Blue Agave. We were delighted to sit on the patio, which was not only spacious but also air-conditioned. The patio had an inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing evening. Since there are so many amazing Mexican restaurants in Houston, I would say we enjoyed the food and we are glad we tried this restaurant but it may not be our top choice. read more

Originally, I was going to go to the other Mexican restaurant across the street and something told me to turn the other way and I did and I'm glad I did. Everybody was nice and welcoming. We started with a cup of queso and it was so good. The salsa was absolutely amazing! It was really fresh too like they just finished cooking it when they brought it to our table. We ordered the combo fajitas, beef and chicken. They were really good everything that came with. It was good. The person helping us was Elizabeth. She was very kind. She came several times to make sure we were all right and didn't need anything. Overall, we found the new Mexican restaurant that we will be visiting quite frequently! read more

Started with the Queso Flameado. This had onions and a few other ingredients. It's tasted pretty good. Then the beef enchiladas. Those were good but seasoned a bit too heavy. Had a margarita here and it tasted fine. The place is big. What did it for he was that my daughter and I were waiting a while to be served, then a big group came in and they were served almost immediately. That put a damper on the entire night. read more

Went to Blue Agave last weekend. The service was horrible. We had to ask for chips and salsa. The drink order came out wrong. We had to flag someone down to take our food order. Once my order arrived it was over cooked. Normally, I have a really good experience, but this made me question whether I'll go back again. read more

The food was very flavorful and filling. My sister and I got fish tacos and chicken tinga tacos and split them. Both were great.

We were visiting from our home in Las Vegas. Blue Agave was close to our hotel so we chose convenience. Having lived in California I grew up loving good Mexican food. Sadly, I can't give this restaurant a great rating. First, the prices were quite high which is OK if the food warrants it, the food didn't. I had beef tacos with fajita style meat. In one taco the meat was really tough and had tendons. I literally couldn't chew it. The rice was crunchy! I could say tough, but it was dry and crunchy is the best term. It was like the rice sat under a heat lamp for a long time. The beans were ranchero style and were pretty good but they added pepper to it (Serrano) and it was a little spicy, the same with the guacamole. My wife had shredded chicken tacos and felt they were pretty good. I wanted to like this place. It had good, friendly service and out back they had a beautiful patio. Sadly, they nice ambiance and friendly service didn't overcome the other short comings. read more

Food was good, large portions. The wait staff was very nice. When we walked up to the entrance I made a comment it was a bit trashy and not welcoming. A sign on the building was broken and only half was there. The inside was nice, we sat outside and tables were old and wood splitting, definitely can't be cleaned between guest. I think there used to be a waterfall but is now all weeds. There were 2 tall tables by the empty fountain and were trashy looking and I can't imagine anyone would sit at them. The bottom of the outside bar was rotted out looking like critters would go in it. They just really need to take a few days and have junk hauled away, grass planted and fill in fountain w sand for kids to play in. Needs some serious help with pride in ownership or people will not come. I don't think we will go back without changes. read more

For beautiful patio dining, Blue Agave has you covered. It possesses one of the lovelier patios on the west side of town. This place is definitely a step up from the usual Tex-mex fare. Perfect for a date night or any other night. If you enjoy midday margaritas, they have a kickass margarita special. $3 at three, $4 at four, and $5 at five. There's also other happy hour drink specials and food specials. Combined with their daily bar specials, there's some good deals to take advantage of. I do enjoy how they have some more infrequent options on the menu such as ribs and seafood options like mahi mahi, and snapper. The cilantro rice is to die for. I highly recommend the mahi special, which includes scallops and mahi-mahi, topped with a delicious cream based sauce. It was pure perfection! Definitely worth checking out! read more

We met some friends for dinner and we all ordered beef fajitas. We specifically told the waitress that we did not want onions on anything. When our food arrived, the beef fajitas were loaded with onions. The rice and beans also had onions on top. The rice was cold and brittle .The fajitas were just OK. They only gave us two tortillas each for the fajitas so we had to ask for more. The corn tortillas are tiny, they are like mini tortillas. When they refilled our ice tea glasses, they poured steaming hot tea into the glasses, all ice melted, and they did not refresh the ice. No need to go back, there are lots of restaurants in Houston to pick from. Way too many onions on everything. $52 was a bit pricey for the lack of quality. read more
