Skillet Potatoes with Caramelized Onions and Bacon
Stacey G.

Lovely outdoor sitting area that makes having bunch in the weekend a treat! Good food and very attentive service.

Ashley C.

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!

Beer on the patio.

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. Give them a shot!

This place is delicious!! I had the fish tacos. Salsa-perfect!! I can't wait to try brunch. Beautiful patio and amazing service!

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.

Enchilada and Beef Taco Lunch
Antonio B.

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.

Patio area
Kim G.

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.

Alexander S.

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.

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.

Beef fajita quesadillas. Awesome flavor!
Jen I.

Great service! Awesome food and presentation! Ambiance is great. The margaritas are the best. Very strong but LOVE! We sat at the bar and our bartenders were great. Very attentive and fun!

Beef tacos.
Paul H.

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.

Outside nasty table and chairs, probably need to be thrown away.

We're in Houston for the World Cup and were recommended Original Ninfa's by both a coworker and our…read moreLyft driver. We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

Chips and salsa 5/5- This was a great start to the meal. The green sauce was fantastic and the chips came out hot. Margarita 4/5- Good and strong very limey and nice tajin rim Charro beans 3/5- Pretty mid flavor like just basic. And they came out lukewarm warm teetering on cold. I've had way better. Fajitas 3/5- I really wanted to love these. They look great and the cook was perfection but the flavor was super plain. I felt the need to add salt.... My partner agreed too. Not good. I won't be back but I appreciate it for what it is!

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

That tamale was amazing. I would get several orders of that soft white tamale by itself to go. And the service was a 10/10.

We were simply told to "sit on the bench and wait" with no effort made to make us feel welcome or comfortable while waiting for our table. When making the reservation, we specifically requested either a quiet table or seating at the bar. Despite this, we were seated at a small table between two particularly noisy groups. On one side was a family with three young children playing a loud game involving frequent shouting and slapping on the table. There was intermittent drumming which the parents were oblivious to. On the other side was a large group facing us engaged in very loud ongoing conversation. The result was an atmosphere that made it difficult to enjoy the meal. Service was also inconsistent. Our server offered chips to accompany the Tiradito but she never brought them. Overall, the evening was disappointing. Between the unwelcoming reception from the dour hostess, noisy seating arrangement and lapses in service, the experience was far from enjoyable. Could not wait to leave.
