This is our favorite happy hour spot on the mall. Always lively but never uncomfortably packed in (I'm looking at you, Yard House). Spicy Cucumber marg is lovely and perfect for the season. We always order a bunch of the tacos to share with guac and the chorizo dip- BOMB. We've come to know and love this crew, (although we miss Katie) Our server, Guy, was being trained and he was amazing. once again we had exceptional service. * if you have celiac disease this place is for you. read more

A standout local business providing good drinks and great food. Outdoor seating is available but in the summer you can't go wrong with the comfortable dining room and bar area. Even at off-lunch time service was prompt and professional. Interesting cocktails abound and margaritas are excellent. At lunch I really recommend the Blue Agave fish tacos--so flavorful and the fish has the right crunch. Served with white rice and black beans--the latter could take much more spice. The avocado tacos also got a thumbs up--very generous servings. The place earned more like a 4.5-great local establishment read more

If you like a modern fusion twist on Mexican food, then the Blue Agave Grill is a must. We had a large group of 10-12 and everything was great from the cocktails to the appetizers to the entrees. Our server took great care of us. The waiter recommended the salmon wontons and wow, this was excellent. Each one was HUGE and I was lucky to grab on when it was fresh! We had a few other appetizers as well and they were all excellent. For my entree, I had the Top Shelf Enchiladas and these were outstanding! They had shrimp and lobster and a delicious creamy sauce on top! The beans were dark and rich (like George Hamilton) and the plain white rice worked well with this dish. If I was in Denver, I'd go to this restaurant again. For a city in the mountains, there are a lot of Mexican options and this one was 5-Stars! read more

Difficult to review because I really want to give 3.5 stars. Service was pretty good. The drinks were tasty and strong! Happy hour is a really good deal. My wife has a 2 drink maximum and felt as if she had 3-4. The food was decent, but not great. The chips were'nt as fresh as I'd expect from an establshment such as this and the entrees had a distinctly first class airplane vibe to them (great if you're on a plane but just ok on land). read more

The best thing about this place was the Brussels sprouts! Wow. I was not expecting much as it was pretty empty and not many people were working on a Friday night but those Brussels sprouts and margaritas were amazing. Black and white nachos were also good, and my friend enjoyed her tacos. Our waitress had a great personality, she was also running the bar, and she managed to still provide good service and we didn't have to wait long. Inside was quiet, and clean. Not bad for walking by and deciding to check it out - glad we did. read more

Lovely and welcoming with delicious (pricy) food! We stopped in after a show nearby. We parked in a parking garage about a block away and walked to the cute and trendy restaurant. Luckily, despite it being a Friday late afternoon, we were able to get a table right away. The staff were friendly and attentive. The decor was classy and lovely. After perusing the menu, I ordered a spicy jalapeño margarita to share with my husband and some chips and salsa. My husband ordered the Tofu-Walnut Enchiladas while I opted for the Santa Fe Salad plus a cup of Poblano-Corn Chowder. Everything was outstanding and the service was on point. read more

My wife became ill shortly after having one margarita. I called an ambulance at the restaurant because she couldn't even move. She was taken to the hospital where we were told she was drugged. I called the restaurant the next day, manager and the general manager didn't care. Not a single care that someone or possibly even one of their employees put a roofy in a drink and refused to refund our meal or even the drink. He said I would receive a call from some else but they didn't care enough to call either. read more

Pricey spot downtown with good margaritas and food. Fun for a fancier night out with friends. Had these spicy cucumber margarita and it was fantastic with nice frozen cucumbers.

Pesto carnita tacos are the best item here. It's creative, unique, and absolutely delicious. Fish tacos are a close second. Well-balanced flavors, classic fish taco. NOT battered, which is a huge plus for me. I have to say though, not consistently executed well. 2 times, they were amazing. One time, fish was overcooked... like absolutely hammered. Awful, probably should have sent it back. But we were in a rush by that point. Next best item here is the chorizo corn dip. Simple and tastier than I thought it would be. I wish I could eat the chip bowl it was served in, but it was greasy as hell. All other tacos were below average to bad. Carne asada tacos were not balanced. Meat itself was really good, but the black beans just takes over and muted all the flavors. I am a black bean lover too. The chicken tacos were just awful. And the red carnitas tacos were unremarkable and boring. The tequila selection is disappointing, but I'm comparing it to real tequila and mezcal bars in Denver, the likes of adelitas. The tequila selection here is basic. And the margarita was not great. If you just want to drink, then it gets the job done. Service is inconsistent and slow. Waters were not refilled consistently. Seemed like servers were somehow, at the same time, rushing and lackadaisical. Only reason why they get 4 stars from me is pesto carnitas tacos and fish tacos (on a good day). If these items disappeared from the menu, then it's 2 stars... maybe 3. read more

Service Food Thank you Nick and your staff for exceptional service and taking care of our team (20) for lunch. Nick was a pleasure to deal with and it was seamless making a group reservation. Our server was amazing as well. The food was great and came out fairly quickly considering how large our group was. The only feedback is that they were out of their delicious tortilla soup and the shrimp skewers weren't cooked that great. Everything else was delicious, with the Blackened Scallops stealing the show!!! OMG read more

A group of us had dinner here on a Sunday night and it was pretty quiet, but we were still glad we had a reservation since we were a large group. I enjoyed the spicy cucumber margarita; it had just a hint of spice and the frozen cucumbers added a nice touch. They don't skimp on the tequila so one was plenty! I had the al pastor tacos for my entree and they were flavorful and nicely seasoned; portion size was perfect for a not too heavy dinner. We did share some appetizers as well and the tuna was quite good. Service was good and the atmosphere was casual and quiet. read more

Came here for my friend's birthday. The waitress was great. I ordered the house margarita and they are very generous with the alcohol! (Love that). Ordered Blue Agave Fish Tacos, they were huge. They give you 3, I could only eat 2. The tacos had Marinated Cherry Tomatoes on top, which I am not a cherry tomato fan. But they were amazing! So full of flavor. read more

It's been awhile since we have eaten her and it seems the menu has improved as well as the food. The 16th street mall, Colorado's #1 tourist attraction is in the midst of a massive, much needed, multi year renovation. Blue Agave happens to be on the first section of this project to be completed. The outdoor seating area is easily four times its original size and it's very inviting. Lots of plants and two and four tops that could be configured for 6-12 tops if they were so inclined. The service was great. Seated quickly and no wait. Our server was on top of things and kept us hydrated and the food coming. We started with queso fundido. This is really tasty indeed. Green chilis. Multiple types of cheeses and chips and tortillas to scoop with. Very delicious. We ordered the Santa Fe Cobb and the chicken enchiladas. Both were delicious and made with quality ingredients. The salad was loaded with protein although I don't ask for any. Loved the fresh avocado and boiled eggs. The food is great, service is great and the atmosphere is perfect for a summer evening on the patio. read more

First time dining at a Blue Agave restaurant. The restaurant was spacious and our waitress was friendly except for the manager on the floor. The manager greeted everyone in the other tables except for mine. I felt racially discriminated against since we were the only table that was not Caucasian. The food was ok, taste was mediocre and the enchiladas were suppose to have lobster and shrimp but ONLY had shrimp. I didn't want to question this issue so I let it sly because our waitress was sweet. Won't ever dine at a Blue Agave restaurant again! read more

Visited here as a pre-concert dinner while in Denver. Ordered the nachos with spinach for an appetizer. It wasn't a terrible meal but wasn't necessarily my favorite either, as it felt just thrown together. Originally came in planning to order from the happy hour menu but was quickly intrigued by the skirt steak and enchilada combo meal. I'm so glad I ordered it because it was great. Super flavorful and very filling. The drinks were pretty strong but at a good price for happy hour. Our server was very nice and made a few other recommendations. The restaurant felt semi upscale but also semi casual as well. I liked the atmosphere for sure. Would definitely visit again and maybe try some of the tacos next time. read more

We went for happy hour and was pretty pumped with the prices! All the food pictured, and 2 margaritas, 1 IPA, and the sangria swirl was $98 total before tip. Food and servers came around rather quickly and were very friendly! Food came out just as we ordered it with no errors! Good experience and not much to not like about it. The carne asada tacos were definitely the best (and 100% what I would get when I go back) Followed by the pork then the shrimp. The nachos were unconventional and nothing to write home about. Salad was tasty and a very good size! Definitely Will be back! read more

Really enjoyed this place! I had reserved space here for a medium size leadership team during a planning session week while we were in Denver. This place did not disappoint. I ordered the enchiladas and they came with nice portions of rice and black beans. The portion was good and the food itself was really nicely put together....most importantly tasty. Our service staff was friendly and the environment was inviting and was not cramped. The environment bordered on up-scale without feeling overblown. I don't usually order dessert, but I did here which was a Tres Chocolate brownie which was a nice way to top off the meal. Great visit! read more

The food at Blue Agave was good -- dishes were flavorful and well-prepared -- but the service seriously let the experience down. We never received the chips and salsa we ordered, two tequila flights we ordered never arrived, and our water glasses were never refilled. Servers seemed distracted and unresponsive.

We came here before the theatre. Service, while not particularly friendly, was very fast. The warm chorizo corn dip is very tasty. My Mom had the signature asada which she loved. I had the top shelf enchiladas, which have lobster and shrimp (mostly shrimp). The flavor is lovely, but they were a little cold. Also, our dishes arrived right on top of the appetizer, so we ate them together. The plating is gorgeous. Desserts, however, fell flat. I had the peanut butter chocolate mousse, which while a serviceable mousse, had no peanut butter that I could detect. My mom had the toasted coconut blondie, which she said was over cooked and hard, so she didn't finish it. The restaurant itself is very pretty and clean, and was quite busy, so I appreciated that they got us taken care of in time for the play. read more

Great food and cute environment. We were able to sit outside and listen to live music. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The poblano corn chowder with jalapeño cornbread was to die for.

Stopped here after a basketball game on Saturday night. We got seated and did not have to wait. The waitress assigned to us was amazing answering all the questions we had. Great customer service, making sure we were taken care of. I got chicken taco and it was okay, not alot of flavor in it. Corn chowder soup was good. Beef burrito was okay, too much tomatoes placed on top. For me it was average Mexican food since I have eaten plenty in different cities. read more

Not sure about all great reviews but on a Monday night, I wasn't impressed at all with dinning in. $13 guacamole was not freshly made ( more like what you get at fast food restaurants)and was a small portion. Skirt steak for $35 included a very small pieces of steak with burned crust with beans and rice . The corn pico tasted like can food. Server forgot part of my food and silverware . Didn't bother asking me about type of salad dressing, overall super slow service ( I sat outside). Two star was for pretty outside area. read more

We ate here on our first night in Denver last week as it was close to the hotel. The decorations were fun and I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures. We ordered several things to share. My favorite was the chorizo corn dip, which was served in a fried tortilla bowl. I also liked the pork belly tacos a lot, although the pieces of pork weren't cooked evenly. We also had mashed potatoes, guacamole, and truffle Brussel sprouts. Of those I liked the guacamole the best, which had a good texture, and was mild as I prefer. read more

Food was okay, not much flavor or spice, but service was quick. We ordered enchiladas and the carnitas plate.

Food was awful everything was just awful for $171.00 you are better off going to cheesecake at least they are consistent with their food! The wedge salad had so much dressing on it looked like it was just a dressing salad not a wedge! And do not order the elote corn you don't know what you are getting was pretty much bread fried! And please don't get me started on their carne asada plate do they even know how to cook the meat it wasn't even cooked it was so rare we pretty much didn't eat anything we ordered! And do not order the tortilla soup that was so bad I couldn't even eat it I did eat anything! Everything about this place was terrible don't go here unless you want to waste your money and leave hungry! read more
