I consider myself a Mexican food connoisseur, and frankly resent that I'm writing such a glowing review for a restaurant so far from Mexico. But this was genuinely some of the best Mexican-inspired food of my LIFE! As a vegetarian, Mexican food tends to be hit or miss when it comes to creative meat substitutes. Blue Agave chose fried avocado tacos as its offering, and WOW. They were truly amazing. Life changing. Well spiced, the right amount of filling in each taco, and the avocado itself was perfectly ripe and fried well without much residual grease. Not only that, but the side beans and rice were incredible. The portions were generous and spiced magically- I could eat just the beans and rice as a dish on its own. I was also astounded by how the grilled corn sauce was thick and saucy, but tasted EXACTLY like elote- some kind of culinary magic. This place may be slightly pricier, but the food portions are large and I cleaned my plate and left feeling stuffed. My companions couldn't finish their beans and rice, and if I didn't think I was going to explode I would have cleaned their plates, too. I'm glad I don't live in FoCo or else I would go broke eating here. I cannot recommend it enough, especially those avocado tacos. I will be dreaming of them for years. The restaurant was a little jammed when I visited and some might find the atmosphere overwhelming, but I would say it's absolutely worth it. Seriously, if you're going to one place in FoCo, go here. read more

Blue Agave Grill - The Blue Agave !!! - Seafood Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

We came here on a Saturday night. I called for reservations and we were seated right away. There's a lot of seating which is good because the place was packed. I like the ambiance, artwork at almost every booth. There were these pretty looking iron made pineapples over our booth. The seats are very comfortable. We ordered the coconut shrimp and the sauce was very tasty with a tangy spice. My friend ordered a Lamerá posa cocktail and it was well crafted and delicious. She ordered the beef fajitas and they flambéd it so the presentation was cool. I had the swordfish and it was a thick portion. read more

The food. Omg! Tunarita appetizer has an awesome presentation and even better flavor. My husband inhaled his steak burrito with chipotle cream sauce- he's still raving about it. I have the salmon Caesar - also excellent- great flavor, cooked perfectly and overall quite refreshing! We had the corn queso- new twist and very good- I don't eat meat so they took the chorizo out of it- I would gather it is excellent with it! Service was casual- not be on a rush and you'll be in good shape! Clean and welcoming environment- we ate on the patio and watch some locals enjoy the splash pad! read more

Haven't been in years but still so good! Service was great! We got the airline chicken, the daily special or steak and scallops, a starter of coconut shrimp and Brussels and of course, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch bread pudding. The margarita was amazing as well! Definitely recommend read more

Food was absolutely amazing omg! I got the steak quesadilla special and it was by far the best Mexican food I've had in Fort Collins. They're also celiac friendly which was so amazing for me!! Our waiter was awesome too! We got seated right away and it had a cute chill vibe inside. Also gave us a military discount, 5 stars. read more

Awesome!!!! Such a great place, top notch food and service. Coming from out of town, We were told about the place by friends who are local. Did not disappoint! Big portions, great variety and great Gluten Free options and care. They knew their stuff. Highly recommended for all visitors, as the place is no secret to the locals. read more

I recommend the warm chorizo corn dip. It's served with warm tortilla chips. It's the perfect starter to your meal. I also love that they have Mexican Coca Cola in a bottle. My friend ordered the fish tacos with mango salsa on the side and served with rice and beans. I ordered the grilled salmon that comes with a Chili Lime Glaze / Serrano Avocado Salsa / Ancho-Orange Tossed Arugula / Sweet Heat Balsamic Reduction / Arroz Fresco / Grilled Summer Vegetables. Overall a good and light meal. The arugula was flavorful and complemented the salmon perfectly. It might've been my favorite part of the dish. Service was great; Our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful. We arrived on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch and were seated immediately. We received our food pretty quickly, too. The restaurant has a really nice, cozy vibe. They also have outdoor seating options. read more

We ate here last Sunday night 6/28. I had researched restaurants online before our trip and made a reservation. As it turns out I don't think we needed the reservation but one never knows when planning a trip. It was a very cute restaurant, very centrally located by everything else. The food and service was great. The food seemed very fresh, the chips and salsa were great. We did not drink alcohol or have dessert, however ALL the desserts sounded amazing, we were just too full. It was a very good dinner and atmosphere and I definitely recommend it! read more

We absolutely love this restaurant!!! Jacob was a fantastic waiter and we will happily be back soon! Thank you so much for the delicious meal, fun ambience, and attentive waitstaff! :) read more

Great flavors. Friendly knowledgeable server. Romantic cozy setting. A bit costly so will save for special occassions.

The food was simply amazing and the service was phenomenal. Great experience overall and would love to come here if I am ever in Colorado again! read more

Food is wonderful!! Blue Corn Enchiladas are simply the BEST. We like to ask for extra cheese especially if we add chicken. Great service and atmosphere. Is in our top two favorite restaurants in Fort Collins. read more

Food was pretty run of the mill Mexican except the pumpkin espresso soup. Will make that at home for sure. Would have enjoyed it more except the constant upselling of items and add ons became taxing early on. Also, some seating chaos as couples kept getting sat at 6 top tables. Nobody was enjoying that. read more

The food and vibes were pretty great, but the menu presented me with an unfair dilemma. Either I could get two of the tacos that I really wanted or three of the tacos that I kind of wanted. Nevertheless, these were some of the best tacos I've had in a while. 4.5/5 read more

It was alright overall. On a scale of 1-10... Chips & Salsa: 7/10. Chips were delicious. The salsa was spicy. Doesn't hit you until like 30 seconds later. Wish we got warned Tacos Al pastor: 6.5/10. The pineapple was super fresh. The corn tortillas were delicious. But there wasn't too much meat and other toppings. Nothing super special. Sangria swirl: 6/10. It was super sweet. Flavor was good, I wish it was half as sweet as it was. Our waters got refilled pretty slow. But our server was nice. Ambiance was 10/10. The furniture was beautiful. The decorations were awesome. Overall, I'm glad we tried it. But not sure if it'll be our top choice next time. read more

The Tuna burger was amazing. It was so good. I ate the leftovers for breakfast. Our waitress Shelby was new, and she was AWESOME. She was quick, pleasant, and kind. Her professionalism was superb. If you go there ask for Shelby. She was beyond my ability to describe. The hostess was so kind and worked with us as I am disabled and have a German Shepard service dog. I dont remember her name, but she has a German Shepard puppy at home. We will be back!!! read more

Great food and waiter was very attentive and helpful. Would Definitely return when in town

As my kids would say - was kind of mid. We had a flight of margaritas which we enjoyed. The chicken tacos and pork carnitas were just alright. The kids liked their fettuccine dishes. Would be 4-stars but for the fact that the service seemed exceedingly slow. Too many other good options in FoCo to settle for Blue Agave. read more

My husband and I started coming to your whenever you opened 14 1516 years ago. My husband has since passed away, but I still love coming there. I try and get my kids or somebody to come with me best restaurant in town hands-down you get 100 stars from me. read more

We stopped in here for lunch before heading to Social. We liked the variety of menu offerings. Blue Agave Grill did not disappoint! We had the check-in special Corn and Chorizo dip, which was a blend of sweet corn and spicy chorizo in a cheesy base. And then we had the Black and White Nachos. O.M.G. Amazing flavors, and each nacho had a little baby shrimp. This is the way to do nachos, IMO. A simple presentation of loaded chips. No need for a giant pile of chips. We also had the street tacos. Three generous helpings of yummy pork carnitas. Again, marvelous combination of balanced flavors. Our server, Jeremy, was GREAT. He explained that this is a "from scratch," kitchen, so that modifications could be made for allergies or whatever. This was excellent news, because we were able to ask that spinach not befoul our glorious nachos. Jeremy was both personable and professional. He knows the menu thoroughly and took the time to make recommendations and answer questions. We will definitely return on our next visit to FOCO, or perhaps try the Denver outpost. read more

Great option downtown Fort Collins located at the art museum building. The place is very busy and has a wait but the bar area is open seating. The food was good and the service was excellent. The prices are reasonable in today's standard for what you get. They have Guacamole with twists so we went with one of those and it still tasted pretty conventional, I hope they make it taste less conventional. Also the Sangria could use some more flavor and maybe some fruit in it. read more

We planned to have dinner there before a show at the Aggie. Surprisingly the Nutcracker performance was down the block and the place was packed with a 90 min. wait. We managed to snag a couple of bar stools and had dinner there. I don't recall our servers name but she was a joy, in spite of the crowd. Margarita's were great! They're made with fresh lime juice, constantly juicing limes as we were there. Food was also great. Give the queso fondudo a try as an appetizer, not your typical quest blanco for sure! read more

The food was delish the ambiance just right!!! Highly enjoyed the margs... Would def return. read more

I have come here a couple times for dinner since moving to the area and it has never disappointed. Servers are always friendly and welcoming, food is always delicious, and the location in Old Town is hard to beat. My favorite dish I have tried is the Pork Carnitas. With the dish you get multiple pieces of slow roasted pork laying in a delicious green salsa and tortillas and black beans on the side. I would say menu items are a bit more on the pricey side, but the quality of the food and the service certainly make up for it. Great dining experience and one of my favorite restaurants here in Fort Collins. read more

What a lovely restaurant! The main entrance is located on the side of the Museum of Art's building so you have to look for it. Once again, the food was amazing and the service was wonderful! Katrina took such good care of us and guided us to some new items - the chorizo and corn appetizer dip is fantastic! Paired with the classic margarita and you have a great start to your evening. Pork carnitas stole the show, along with seafood enchiladas, perfectly grilled vegetables, and happy hour guacamole. The manager stopped by and chatted about our meal and other things. It is so wonderful to have a customer focused team! Thank you! Our favorite in Ft Collins! read more

The service was excellent. We were seated right away when we got here even though we were a rather large party. Our server was very friendly, helped walk us through the menu patiently as it was our first time. We ordered the following and had a terrific time altogether. Warm Chorizo Corn Dip - this was a favorite. Extremely delicious, served warm, decently spicy and extremely flavorful. I'd highly recommend it. The chicken Nachos - these were quite good too and rather filling. The coconut shrimp tacos - these were epic. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. A great blend of flavors and was pretty filling. Fettuccine Pasta - this was great; but I'd stick to the tacos. My wife loved it though. Great food, reasonably priced and excellent service. We'd be back for more. read more

Service: 10/10! Our server Ryan was extremely friendly and gave so many great suggestions! Ambiance: quiet when we came on a Thursday afternoon. Tons of booths as well as regular tables and high tops. Large bar area. Tortilla soup: big portion and lots of meat! A broth based soup instead of cream which I wasn't expecting but the flavor was good! Blue agave tacos: no cheese and sub lettuce wrap. These were bomb! The fish was crunchy, the lettuce wraps held up well and the flavor was on point! Chicken tacos: my partner got those and said he liked them. He gives a 4/5. Jalapeño cornbread: AMAZING. Star of the show for real! Crispy outside and super moist inside, big portion for only $2 and a delicious apple butter on top. This is in my top 3 favorite cornbreads of all time. Overall, super happy we stopped in on our lunch break and will absolutely come back! read more

Blue Agave Grill - Salmon - Seafood Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I had a decent group meal here in a work trip. Service was friendly but slow (in the restaurant's defense, we were a pretty big group). Chips, margaritas, and guacamole were good. I got the blue agave tacos. The fish was a little overfried (very dark and a tad dry). I wanted to like the tomato sauce but it was a too salty. read more

Fantastic food and drinks! My wife got the avocado tacos with the chicken. It was fantastic. I had a seafood enchilada with a Carne Asada steak and it was amazing. Highly recommend read more

This place is my new favorite Mexican spot. Their guacamole is fresh and delicious- I added the mango salsa and I could've eaten it with a spoon, it was so good. Pineapple margarita was amazing, not too strong but had a good kick. The street tacos were my favorite food item, the salmon wontons were ok. I was expecting their chocolate peanut butter mouse to be better, it was really bitter and not sweet at all. I would come back just for the margarita and guac! read more

Wow! The food is fantastic - but I'm here to brag on MG! I have a gluten and soy allergy and he PULLED UP A CHAIR to our table to walk through everything I could eat on the menu. I mean. Amazing service - and the food and margs are top notch. read more

Very gluten friendly. The menu is clearly marked and plates will be marked for servers from the kitchen which I really appreciate. Always a great spot for dinner and fantastic margaritas, careful they're bigger than they seem, lol. read more

We had a small wait for our meal but honestly it worked out because of all the small shops near by. As far as food goes we started with the margarita flight and mango guacamole which were both amazing and some of the best gauc I've had. For meals we got the coconut shrimp tacos and an enchilada. I thought the coconut shrimp tacos were outstanding! My partner loved her enchilada as well. Overall the service was wonderful, a bartender came to explain the flight to us and our server was great. The restaurant also has a large menu with many options to choose from, including vegetarian! I would definitely go back! read more

My family and I moved here a couple years ago and have been eyeing this place since. We had family in town this week and got the chance to finally try it out. First of all, our server, nick, was a total pro. Also, the dining space was spacious and comfortable. The black and white nachos app was spectacular. Ordered chicken tacos for our toddler and she ate almost all of it. They were giant by the way. Mother in law had one of their specials, blue corn enchiladas. She loved every bite. Wife had the blue agave tacos. She's also real picky about fish. I had a bite. They were fantastic. I had the adobo pork burrito. It was, hands down, the best burrito I've ever had. 100%. The balance of spice and the sugars from the chili sauce was absolute perfection. The tortilla almost had the texture of filo dough. Pork had a tender and juicy bite - but was peppered with those small crunchy bits that you pray for in any pulled meat. I cleaned the entire plate. If I had to critique something for the sake of not saying it was literal perfection, it would have to be the jalapeño margarita I ordered. It was good, but a bit spicier than expected or hoped for. The tequila was infused with jalapeño so it wasn't just a 'hint.' We're moving out of state next month and our only regret since being here is not eating here weekly. Good for you, Fort Collins. You've got a true gem right in the heart of old town. (Sorry for the photos - we had already started tearing into the food by the time I thought to snap the proof) read more

Went on a Friday night with a large group and were able to get reservations with only a couple hours notice. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. The food and drinks were great.

We love this place but I asked for extra dressing on a Cobb salad with chicken and was charged $1.50 for extra dressing! And the Cobb was already 19.00 Not a good feeling! The prices are more than anywhere else but it's great food and we always leave a good tip because we love the food but charge for kitchen is extreme too! We have recommended to several people! Need to fix this! Probably won't be back which makes me sad! read more
