    Arizona Chicken Mole Enchiladas
    Susan C.

    My first time visiting this restaurant and was so impressed with the entire experience. Overall vibe is super welcoming. Server was very attentive. The Arizona chicken mole enchiladas were moist and delicious, as were the black beans. Guacamole app was generous and very flavorful. Definitely will revisit asap!!

    We had such an amazing family dinner at Blue Agave in Yorba Linda! From the moment we sat down, everything felt welcoming and relaxed. The chips and salsa were fresh and delicious--definitely the perfect start to the meal. I ordered the Taco Mex something (solid choice!) and it was cooked to perfection, flavorful, and filling. Everyone in my family really enjoyed their meals. The corn cake was da bomb. My wife got shrimp tacos very scrumptious. What truly made the night unforgettable was our server, Jenna. She was absolutely the best--so kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. She made us feel completely taken care of the entire time. Service like that really elevates the whole dining experience, and I honestly hope management recognizes her hard work because she deserves a raise! We left full, happy, and already talking about when we'll come back. Blue Agave is definitely a spot we'll be returning to again and again.

    Was craving some Mexican cuisine and decided to give Blue Agave a try. The staff was very friendly upon our entrance and the hostess sat us right away. I noticed that the restaurant was clean and has ample seating. Some sections look great for large parties. There are a lot of options on this menu. It was hard to decide on which plate to order. I settled on the chicken mole enchiladas, and it was fantastic! This dish really hit the spot. They were very generous with the amount of shredded chicken in the enchiladas, and the moly sauce complemented the chicken enchilada perfectly. I asked to substitute the rice with veggies. The veggies were sautéd zucchini and bell peppers, and had a nice buttery flavor. I definitely would return to this restaurant. I look forward to trying my next Blue Agave dish.

    I've been wanting to come check this place out for some time and I'm glad that I did. Complimentary chips and salsa while you wait for your food...HUGE plus for me lol. Great customer service and the staff were very welcoming. Ordered the Baja Fish Tacos and wow, very flavorful. On the pricey side for 2 battered fish tacos but I am a huge sucker for handmade tortillas lol. The vibe is like your local El Torito but with better food. Coming back again.

    My friend found this plastic lid at the bottom of the glass cup and had to dig it out to remove it.

    Unfortunately this restaurant is extremely overrated. When I came with my group of friends, we were sat down quickly, but it took a long time for a waitress to introduce herself and ask us about drinks. When the waitress brought out our drinks, there was a plastic lid INSIDE my friend's coke. I don't even know how that happens. That took a while to be addressed since she didn't check in on us often. (And yes we were still charged for that coke). The food itself was nothing special, but that is just my opinion. Before my friends and I left for the night, we were in the lobby waiting for someone in our group to finish using the restroom, and we overheard the restaurant manager, I believe his name is George, talking to one of the hostesses at the front in such a disrespectful manner (he used a personal attack). We were all shocked that he would blatantly behave like that in front of customers. My friends and I had already decided we weren't going to come back, but after witnessing that our opinion of this restaurant was solidified. It seems like a toxic environment. **Update: His unprofessional response says it all

    Delicious food. Not typical run of the mill. One of my favorite places to eat servers are very friendly and efficient. Nice southwest art and artifacts. Sweet corn is great. Love the chili relleno; it's made with a fresh pasilla chili. I have eaten here many times. It's great

    The waiting room mural, the chips along with Pomegranate Basil margarita and the "double" chili rellano.

    Friday meet up, we stopped Blue Agave and so glad we did! We been eyeing this place but always opted toward eateries in Brea. I think we found a new favorite hangout in YBL. The hostess immediately seated us in a nice corner booth. The interior was much more spacious than I thought. There were probably a nine booths, several handful of tables and also some outdoor seatings. The menu selections are awesome -- and my friend was impressed with the dozen flavor of margaritas!!! The endless chips and salsa, as shared by other Yelpers, are heavenly. I was embarrassed to ask for 3rd round of chips! I ordered the chili relleno combo - and instead of taco tostada. Our server offered me double the chili rellenos! I've scored....and the place already warned my heart. The chili relleno "casserole" was topped with fresh mango salsa. The side of rice, bean and scoop of corn hit the mark. We shared the flan for dessert but that was too much. Obviously, we were so stuff that we stayed for over two hours (to help with digestion so we're not rolling out of our booth). The waitstaff were just so cordial, nice and didn't bother to rush us. The team all were very welcoming. We agreed that we have to swing by again!

    Located in the same plaza as Bodai and J San ramen. Outdoor seating available. Nice big inside with lots of seating. Hubs got the Montego shrimp skewers and enjoyed it. I got the Sedona skirt steak and it was Lacking in flavor. Asked for the spicy chipotle sauce and that helped. Service was good. I would come again but wouldn't order the Sedona steak.

    Ask the Community - Blue Agave

    Do they have vegan options?

    No. There's no vegan option for entree (unless you aiming for guacamole, side of rice or plain house salad)

    Is there a taco Tuesday special?

    They don't. They have a couple of drinks discounted, but I just asked and that's the response. Drinks are good too.

    Any vegan options?

    Yes there are vegan options.

    When is happy hour?

    Happy hour is Monday and Tuesdays from 4 till close. Half price on all draft beers and half price on all appetizers in the bar, it's a great deal.

    Down the Rabbit Hole at STORY -- Anaheim Hills…read more If you've ever wanted to fall straight into Wonderland, STORY in Anaheim Hills is your rabbit hole. From the moment I walked in, I was enchanted -- plush tufted velvet booths in dreamy blues, cascading candlestick chandeliers, walls lined with vintage books, and the most whimsical tablescapes I've ever seen. A teapot-and-teacup candelabra dripping with flowers and pocket watches greeted us like something straight off the Mad Hatter's table. Curiosity encouraged, reality optional, indeed. Half the fun was the crowd -- patrons in their finest hats and full Wonderland regalia, everyone leaning into the magic. The black-and-white spiral placemats and mismatched rose-painted china made every corner Instagram gold. We did the **Mad Hatter's Tea ($40 per guest)**, and it delivered both on theme and on flavor. The presentation arrives on a gleaming gold three-tiered stand, and there's a delightful Asian-fusion twist woven through the classic high-tea lineup: - **Goat & feta cheese pinwheels** -- pink whipped goat cheese with roasted beet purée, Genoa salami, and arugula in a spinach tortilla, finished with balsamic and honey drizzle. As pretty as they were tasty. - **Tea sandwiches** -- delicate chicken salad, egg salad, ham & dijon, and cucumber & cream cheese. - **Mozzarella, cantaloupe & prosciutto skewers** -- fresh and light. - **Freshly baked scones, danishes, and buttermilk biscuits** with whipped honey butter and strawberry jam -- warm, flaky, and exactly what high tea should be. - A sizzling **garlic shrimp skillet** with charred lemon and toasted bread that we added on -- savory and satisfying. And the theatrical touches! Each guest gets a **Tea Forté** selection (the Green Mango Peach and White Ginger Pear were lovely), a glass of sparkling wine, and a darling little **"Drink Me" potion bottle** to share -- a perfect Wonderland flourish. STORY is more than a meal; it's an experience. Whether you're celebrating, planning a girls' day, or just want to escape into something beautiful, put on your favorite hat and come play. We'll absolutely be back.

    This is a late review for the tea experience. This was my second time here, this time my family and…read moreI came here for Mother's Day. While my kids ordered off the menu, my husband and I enjoyed the Mat Hatter Tea experience. My kids got the short rib pasta, the biscuits & gravy, and Italian Baked eggs, they enjoyed all of it! And of course I had to steal some of my son's baked eggs since I loved them so much from my last visit. The Mad Hatter's tea is not a traditional tea, but it was fun and different. It was reasonably priced and came with a glass of sparkling wine that you can enhance with a blue liquid (I believe it's a butterfly tea syrup) to change the color into a beautiful purple hue. The tea served is Tea Forte tea bags, rather than loose leaf teas. They do have the typical tea sandwiches, but there are also additional savory items like a cheese pinwheel and a cheese skewer. In addition to the scone and biscuit, they also had danishes and fruit. Wish they had cream for the scones, but they had jam and butter. Loved seeing all the groups dressed up for their tea parties in their fancy hats and having a great time.

I had the niña fresa, a strawberries and creme type drink. Delicious! If you like sweet drinks, otherwise do not get it. I had the Saturn afterwards. Still a little sweet, but mostly sour. The server came by to say that we only had 25 min left, so we hurriedly ordered a last drink. But when he delivered it, it magically became 5 min! I chugged my drink and was ushered out the door. Overall it was pretty nice but I didn't enjoy having to rush at the very end.

When making reservations a $25 deposit is required per person but will be applied to your bill day of visit. The hostess was very kind upon check in and took us to the back where the 46 door is. She provided us a code and explained the time limit along with house rules. We were then told to knock on the door and proceed with the experience. Kudos to the owner as this is the only speakeasy in the OC that has a true speakeasy feel entrance. They had a gentleman open the peephole and ask for the entry code. Once we said the code we entered a really cool mine shaft area. The attention to detail was on point and I was impressed! We were then taken upstairs to a private bar where there are four tables of four so a max of 16. This makes sense as to why reservations are hard to come by. The only ding about seating is you are sat with strangers it is not a private table. Luckily we had a fun older couple at our table so it made the conversation more lively. Otherwise don't go here with an expectation of an intimate/ private date night. They also offer a limited food menu but looked very promising. However, we were here for a night cap so just dabbled in drinks. The bartender had a seasonal menu of 4 cocktails he created. He explained the drinks and then had us try each one with a straw. We then placed our order based on what we liked. He did say if we were not a fan he could create us our own personal cocktail as well. The old fashion he created was phenomenal! Overall, a cool little spot in the OC. Do wish they were open later as they do close at 11pm on Friday and Saturday.
