My wife and I had lunch here during the Peoria vegan challenge. We had the Tacos de Papa and Ceviche de Coliflor. Both good, I preferred the Ceviche. Excellent lentil soup. My wife loved everything. I highly recommend the homemade hot sauce available on request. The majority of their menu is non vegan as you would expect. Attentive service, good background music level, comfortable chairs. Nice upscale decor. read more

Loved the margarita but the food were so so. The moles were not that flavorful and the oil tasted very stale. The shrimp tacos were too heavy and greasy. Beautiful presentation and nice environment though read more

What an amazing menu they have at Casa Agave. This is not your typical Mexican restaurant. My wife started with the February special drink, the strawberry froze'. She loved it and it looked great. She then had the shrimp tacos, also a hit. I went with the Chicken mole' verde. It was excellent! I'd never had a green mole', but I highly recommend it. The tomatillo and undertones of chocolate in the mole' was fantastic. Our waiter, Santos was one of the best waiters we've had in a long time! Really a great place and can't wait to come back! read more

I had a great dinner! We went on a Saturday night and was instantly sat! So that was great. Our waitress was so friendly and very attentive They have a great cocktail menu with options for everyone! I got the coco loco and would give that a solid 8/10, we then got the chips and queso appetizer and unfortunately this was really bland, the chips tasted like fritos and the cheese was pretty bland. But the tacos were AMAZING, we got the carne asada tacos and they were amazing, I could have eaten 10 of them! I will definitely be coming back! read more

My wife and I visit Peoria once a year and we're happy try Casa Agave. We appreciate the friendly service and the high-quality ingredients they use in the food. The restaurant decorations are also well thought out. We were well taken care of by Jesus at the bar. My wife had red wine, and I asked Jesus if he could make me a jalapeno and mezcal margarita. He muddled fresh jalapenos, and it turned out perfect! Fresh squeezed limes and fresh jalapeños are the key ingredients. My wife and I shared some appetizers and ordered separate entrees. We both liked the creamy guacamole and she really liked that they use white meat in the flautas. The short rib mole was nice to see on the menu. It is tender and not spicy. I like spicy food, but I still enjoyed the mole. We will visit again when we are in the area. Thank you Natalie and Jesus for the great service! read more

Casa Agave - Appetizers, Drinks, and Entrees - Mexican Near Me - Peoria Heights, Illinois

If you're looking for a fresh, modern Mexican dining experience in Peoria Heights, Casa Agave delivers both in flavor and ambiance. From the moment you step inside, the décor sets the tone, stylish tilework, warm lighting, and artistic displays of agave plants and tequila bottles give it an upscale yet comfortable vibe. We started with chips alongside a bowl of Mexican street corn (elote). The corn was charred perfectly, mixed with creamy cheese, and had a squeeze of lime to brighten each bite. Paired with the crisp, lightly salted tortilla chips, it was a great way to begin the meal. For the main courses, we enjoyed with Carne Asada Tacos and Shrimp Tacos. Each plate was presented beautifully, with vibrant colors and fresh ingredients that showed their attention to detail. The interior of Casa Agave is as memorable as the food, modern Mexican design with cozy seating, decorative agave sculptures, and a stunning backlit display of artisan tequila bottles. It feels inviting for both a casual lunch and a more upscale evening out. Casa Agave is more than just another Mexican restaurant--it's a thoughtful blend of authentic flavors and stylish presentation. The food is fresh, the service is warm, and the setting is perfect for a night out in Peoria Heights. If you go, don't skip the street corn--it's a standout. read more

Natalie was the best waiter ever. This was the best food I've ever had in my entire life. Please come now.

What a great addition to Peoria Heights! We enjoyed a lovely evening outside. The guacamole was yummy -- the tortilla chips only so so. The drinks were creative and delish! My only complaint is that they're not mixed fresh so you can't sub the ingredients. I had the octopus. It was good but could have used a bit more seasoning. Next time I'm going for one of the mole enchiladas which my friend had that were amazing! read more

The service was great and the food serving was more than enough and the decoration was nice.

Servers are polite and experienced and do a great job! Love coming here for their tacos and modern twist on Mexican cuisine! Their cocktails are fun and refreshing and love the interior design and vibe in the dining room! read more

The ambiance, and service was wonderful and great! The food was hit and miss. I had the shrimp tacos and my husband ordered cod tacos they were both just okay, nothing amazing. The soft tortilla shells did not taste good just a weird flavor. I also tried the mushroom tacos those were the best thing along with the appetizers on the circular bread the sopas? We had queso and that was good. They do not bring own free chips here. The drinks were strong and good! read more

I'm not from around here, and have been facing a hard reckoning with Peoria's food scene, but Casa Agave renewed my soul and gave me relief. Gorgeous food, pleasant ambience, comfortable seating, and tasty cocktails that don't smash your face with syrup. read more

This place is delicious!! I ordered the pollo con rajas and my husband the pulpo asado and we scraped our plates clean. We can't wait to come back on a weekend and enjoy some more of their drinks! The mezclilla de Jamaica was amazing!! read more

Casa Agave - Jamaica Mezcal - Mexican Near Me - Peoria Heights, Illinois

Casa Agave is one of those places where you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I've genuinely tried it all, and not a single dish has ever disappointed. If you're looking for recommendations, the flautas are a must-start appetizer: crispy, flavorful, and impossible to share evenly because everyone wants more. The tacos al pastor are always a win. And don't skip the queso fundido... it's perfection. Their cocktails are handcrafted and absolutely top-tier. The Verde is my personal favorite because it's SO refreshing. The service is another standout. Martin is an incredible server who always makes the experience smooth and enjoyable, and Natalie behind the bar is amazing -- friendly, fast, and insanely talented with cocktails. I recently stopped in to try their new menu items and I have one piece of advice: do NOT ...I repeat, do NOT leave without ordering the new molten lava cake. I'm still thinking about it. Casa Agave is one of my favorite spots for a reason -- incredible food, unbeatable drinks, and the kind of service that makes you feel like family. Can't recommend it enough! read more

Love the tacos! And the guacamole. And the drinks. The flavors in the Al pastor tacos were so good! You get 3 street sides tacos on blue corn tortillas. The sauce gave it some extra flavor. I couldn't put them down. The verde drink was yummy and refreshing. Oh yes and we started it all off with some great tasting guacamole. I was full! And satisfied. Going back for more. read more

Party of 6 I'm surprised by any good reviews, I'm thinking because of decor which is lovely. Food terrible, dry over cooked pork. The cod was battered non overcooked, not Mexican at all. This place needs a new chef to last on the heights. We were all hoping this was going to be like Noir was on the heights, sadly not. Stop pre cooking food as dry and terrible,chips stale and revolting. No flavor whatsoever Service was pretty bad for a night that was empty of customers. WE WILL NOT BE BACK. To be honest this place don't be open long. read more

Attentive service, clean atmosphere, and great food. Would recommend to anyone, especially vegetarians and GF folks.

Service was wonderful, our server was very knowledgeable and accommodating to allergies. Good food and atmosphere!

As a Mexican girl, I can honestly say this is the best Mexican in the peoria area. Worth the price and the outing!!! My favorites are the ceviche, sopes and the al pastor tacos!!!! please spend here!! read more

Not sure what the hype is. It's expensive so I assume people feel like it's fancy. My rule is that if a Mexican restaurant doesn't serve complimentary salsa, it better be REALLY good. This place is just okay. The menu is small. Some dishes are pretty good and others are just mediocre. They charge extra for everything. Not even a side of rice or beans is included with your meal. The cocktails/margaritas are also hit or miss. The menu says all cocktails are $13, but then they charge you different prices for different cocktails when your bill comes. I expect much better for the high price point. I can get better cheap Mexican elsewhere. I won't be back. read more
