I am extremely disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. First, the parking situation was absolutely horrible and made arriving already frustrating. On top of that, there was no changing table in the men's restroom and no family restroom available. When my husband asked the host about changing our infant, he was asked if there was a female who could take the baby to be changed. I ended up going to the women's restroom, only to find that the only stall with a changing table was locked from the inside. We were then told that the manager who had the key was not there that day. As a parent, I find this extremely disappointing and frustrating. Families with infants should not have to struggle this much just to find a safe and accessible place to change their baby. I sincerely hope the restaurant addresses these issues, as the experience left us feeling very unwelcome and frustrated. read more

First time at this location. We had a reservation at 8pm but we didn't get sat till almost 9pm. It was a little frustrating. I've been to the Chandler location as well. The vibes are slightly different. The Phoenix one has more upbeat type of music which I do liked. We got sat and I ordered an old fashion. Felt like drinks took a while to arrive as well. At this point we only had 45 min or so before they did last call or closed. We ordered the shrimp aquachili. It was slightly different than the one I had in Chandler. But it was still good We both ordered the carne asada plate. It was good. Overall the experience was ok at this location. Didnt liked how we waited that long to be sat with a reservation and limited time to actually enjoyed the time there. read more

We came here for my bday dinner and it was delicious! We got an appetizer, entrees and dessert and every thing was really good. The vibe is very fun with kind of a fancy/partying feel. Great place for a birthday dinner. I would recommend a reservation if coming on a weekend during dinner time if you have a big group. Our food came out quickly and the waitresses kept our waters full and checked on us the perfect amount. read more

First time visiting Miel de Agave in Phoenix, and overall the food and service did not disappoint. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with dim lighting and individual table lights creating an solid dining experience. Live music later in the evening/week adds a fun energy and elevated the nightlife vibe. Our server Marcia was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided excellent menu recommendations throughout the night. Entrées - Ribeye Aguachile ($24) - drenched in a bold, spicy salsa with the perfect balance of heat, acidity, and tanginess with a Tapatío-like kick. - Never Before Risotto ($34) - despite not containing mexican rice, this dish delivered a elote-inspired experience. Rich, creamy, and topped with five shrimp scampi. Cocktail - Classic Old Fashioned ($22) - smoky, smooth, and well-balanced, pairing perfectly with the meal. Few noticable areas that could use attention is restroom maintenance and fruit fly/gnat presence. During our visit, the restrooms appeared unclean, out of toilet-paper, and drenched hand towels at the sink. Surrounding our seating area were gnats which were persistent enough at the table and needed to be swatted away from our plates. MdA would benefit from more frequent attention throughout service hours to better reflect the quality of the restaurant. Overall, Miel de Agave offers unique flavors, handcrafted cocktails, and a vibrant atmosphere. With a little more attention to restroom upkeep, the experience would be even better. Will return in the future. read more

First time here, it was definitely a surprise! Loved the atmosphere they had! It was Saturday night but it was pretty busy! Loved the LED lights and the ambiance. Music was decently loud, but you could hold a conversation if you're not hard of hearing. I ordered the Sonora tacos but they were out of chicken so I got shrimp. 5/5 on the food and the green salsa was SPICY. Be careful The drinks were decent, not over poured and not overpriced. GREAT drink presentations! Restrooms were clean and stocked. I would come back read more

The service was mediocre, the manager's stress level showed in how she treated us at the hostess station. She was even rude to the hostess who was running around like she was confused. Had we not walked a mile to get there after not getting into the first restaurant we came downtown for, normally we would have exited immediately after that poor first encounter. Overall: The carne asada was good but The food and drinks were overpriced and the service was not at the level for the price point. read more

So I needed another bloody Mary but I couldn't find the spot. I came by here months ago for a lunch with friends as it popped up on my Yelp but it was closed.. I then was like ok let's try it I see a Michelada in my future meal plans. So I had the ceviche let the church say amen fresh fresh did I say fresh. The huge fresh shrimp perfectly cooked and avocado yes on top of the Ceviche. Michelada excellent. I also had there green chili enchiladas with steak, the tortillas taste freshly made I give the dish a 3 but based on my taste I like more of a tangy tomatillo for my green chili sauce. They were good just unexpected. If you want a more creamy sauce then it'll meat your taste buds. I definitely recommend read more

This is a must try in Phoenix! Exceptional customer service, Marcia gave us the best recommendations & everything we tried was delicious. I would comeback and order the same thing again. Interior is so clean, great elegant decor, lively music. The vibe is a classy, sophisticated, a place for a a fun night or a nice date. Overall a solid spot for a good time with good company. What we tried : Aguachiles ribeye 10/10 Birria Tacos 10/10 Chipotle Pasta 10/10 Drinks : ESPRESSO MARTINI (not too sweet, perfectly balanced) MOJITO (refreshing) LA BERRY NICE (pulpy! You taste the middle blackberries & raspberries, so refreshing) Dessert : Cheesecake 10/10 read more

This place certainly has a following...of young women celebrating something. If that's you, get there. If you're anyone else, try any other Mexican restaurant in the Valley. It's not special. It's precious. Service, while polite, is slow. The menu is so predictable; nothing exciting, other than the ribeye aquachile which was so over- salted, was inedible. It's loud, tacky with lots of fake plants and fake boobs. Gross. read more

Very fun restaurant that has great drinks. We weren't 100% sure on what to order so the server brought us 5 of their most popular appetizers and everyone of them was great. We got the pork belly, elote, ribeye, and a few others! For dinner most of us had steak which was amazing especially since it comes with a quesadilla what a nice little paring! I would definitely go at night it almost looks like Cabo when you walk in! One thing didn't love was I would say it's a $$ to $$$ restaurant and they had the toast POS in their hands while taking orders. Such a small thing but I don't think this restaurant is casual enough for that especially with it being higher end Mexican. read more

We were in the area for my son's graduation, and we just searched good food near us! This place popped up and waw all I can say is the presentation from walking up to entering is amazing! Very great vibe and the hostess were very kind and commentating as a party of 5 with no reservations they worked with us and sat us in their patio area. Very nice setting inside and out, we had Jorge as a server and I just have to say THE ABSOLUTE BEST SERVICE EVER! He was knowledgeable about the menu gave wonderful recommendations on food and drinks. He was honestly one of the best waiters we have had in a long time, checking in on how the food was, refills on drinks and he even surprised my son with a cheese cake and poster for graduation! Such a cool touch to set up our night! We had birria tacos with the great sauce and beans, three green sour cream steak enchiladas with a tasty salad and burger and fries! A few shots of don julio and a couple Mexican candy shots that Jorge recommended for me since I didn't want anything too harsh or strong! That was the BEST SHOT I EVER HAD! And will now be my go to!!! We will be back for more delicious food and great service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

High scale Mexican food with great flavors and service was fast which made it even better. Good DJ that sets a good vibey mood for the restaurant ambiance. Food portions are great for family style sharing. Celebrated a birthday and waiter made it special by coming out with a complimentary dessert and a birthday sign signing along. High recommended for a nice dinner spot and drinks after or bar hop. Great location with limited parking. Aguachile verde 9/10 - love how fresh the shrimp tasted and how the shrimp was flattened out MDA calamari 7/10 - very crispy not a lot of squid, mainly breading Ribeye de la casa 10/10 - perfectly cook temp for medium rare Bechamel Halibut 10/10 - soft, not fishy, very creamy mushroom sauce with giant toast read more

My friend and I walked in as the restaurant was opening for lunch and were seated immediately. It was not super busy. The waitress, Marcia, was kind and very knowledgeable of the menu - including offering a barcode on the back to look at how each item was prepared. The service was 5 stars. The food (which is how I rate a restaurant): we ordered the ribeye aguachile for an appetizer, which was very flavorful, tender, and had a little kick. We enjoyed it a lot. We wanted the pork belly but it wasn't ready. For our meals, we ordered the quesabirria. It was a little oily with less cheese than I am accustomed. It also was a little soggy in some areas. The sauces were good that accompanied them. *** Overall, I'd come back to try more menu items! read more

Que Chulo! Bold colors, photogenic cocktails, and a mouthwatering menu. Four of us rolled in on e-scooters during a downtown double date, and this instantly set the bar for the night. What we ate: Sonoran Shrimp Ceviche Pork Belly Chicharron Quesabirria Tacos Ribeye de la Casa Surf & Turf Cheesecake Everything was cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. The room was buzzing with birthdays and anniversaries--this is celebration food. We've talked about this meal multiple times since, which says a lot.

Make a reservation! Tried to walk in but they are so busy we had to book a table for the next night. The guacamole was delicious, but very pricey. I have never spent $18 on guacamole but it was worth trying once - would probably not order again. However, the elote was excellent and I would recommend it. All the entrees were very flavorful, maybe a tad salty, but everything was well cooked and portions were very fair. One thing to note is the seating is a little crowded and the restaurant is very loud inside, which makes it difficult to converse. read more

Every dish we ordered was outstanding. The MDA Guacamole was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and one of the best guacamoles we have had. The Ribeye Aguachile was unique, tender, and packed with bold flavors that balanced perfectly. The Quesabirria was exceptional, with perfectly crispy tortillas, juicy, well seasoned beef, and rich consommé for dipping that took it to another level. Everything tasted fresh, was beautifully presented, and exceeded our expectations. It is clear that the kitchen takes pride in both quality and flavor. We will absolutely be coming back to try more of the menu. Five stars. read more

May 1 , Friday 7:00pm The hostess was horrible. We walked in and she told us they were not taking any walk ins just reservations. Never cared to tell us how to make on or help us with making one .. we left and made a reservation for 8:45 online. We came back same host attended us and turns out reservations were behind 30-40 min! It just didn't make sense. Thankfully they had a table on the patio and we got sat within 10 min of our reservation. Sitting in the patio though you dont get the fullest experience with the music and pretty walls ect.. the food was great I have no complaints there and the server Juan was too. read more

Miel De Agave Phoenix - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was super excited to try this place after seeing the reviews. But this was one of those experiences that just didn't work, where each step of the way was a trip-and-stumble and hot worse as it progressed. We ultimately left before we ate because it was a very bumpy road getting as far as we did. (1) Finding the place was tough, we walked a long way because it's very poorly marked on the outside. Navigating to the entry was gross, felt like walking through a small defunct shopping center with a hidden, but not really hidden, hallway. Getting to the hallway involved walking past a dirty old ice cream case covered in dirty cups and trash, dirty floor and walls, and down a urine and cannabis smelling narrow, gravel and dirt back alley. But before arriving inside, parking was beyond a nightmare. There's a "parking-lot" out back that's more like 500 giant potholes surrounded by crushed concrete and gravel surrounded by a chain link ghetto fence. On the building there are multi-step instructions for parking and paying on your phone, then theoretically getting it validated. It was pretty sweet (not!) because it only took multiple downloads and apps, 2 to 3 back and forth trips, multiple app errors, and 8 instruction steps to follow, ugh! When we finally got into the restaurant, the host told us we couldn't park where we did (in their lot!), after the kitchen worker sitting in the nasty, smelly ghetto-alley behind the restaurant by the parking lot told us we could park there and we should just follow the instructions on the signs. The host inside guaranteed we'd get towed from their lot because it was only for employees. What?! He said he could have anyone else in the restaurant verify that we'd get towed. Rather than disagree with him, even though the instructions said otherwise, I went to move the car for the third time (literally). As I walked out I noticed the same parking sign in the ice cream shop nextdoor. They kindly explained that it was fine to park there as long as we followed the instructions. So we broke out our phones and tried it, it failed. We were told we had to go back to the car and re-scan the parking QR code. So, once again I headed back to the car and re-scanned the QR code on the instructions. It failed again. I was required to fake the license plate so it would stop failing. It worked that time and once again headed back inside. Figured we'd sit at the bar for a little bit before going to our reserved table. Nope, there are only 4 - 5 chairs in the bar and "it was full",.... there were indeed 4 people there and since there were 3 in our party, we wouldn't fit. Right, 7 people can't fit in their bar, okay. Ambience was reasonable. Kind of comfy, but seemed the restaurant was trying hard to get from super basic to "kind-of-trendy"and wasn't quite there yet. Headed to the men's room to wash my hands. It was yucky in there, no hot water (hot water faucet didn't work), broken hand towel dispenser, generally dirty and not great. The food had to be good, right? Ummmm. Headed back to the table to look over the menu and order, though I honestly wasn't super psyched to stay there after the constant issues to that point. Ready for this? Drinks are around $25 each and entrees were around $65. Nope, done, got out of there. There was *no way* we were going to spend that kind of money in this place that had been purely challenging and gross. You know how on the surface, from a distance, Las Vegas seems cool with the lights and sounds, but when you get up close you realize it's dirty and gross? Similar feeling here. Maybe the food was so unbelievably incredible that it would have offset everything else, but I doubt it, that would have to have been some magical food. Based on my experience, I won't be back. read more

I have heard of MDAP and finally had the opportunity to experience it with a few friends. It doesn't look like much from the courtyard (currently under construction) entrance. We were immediately greeted by a host, who took us to our table. We were a party of 4 waiting for our 4th person. We decided to order a couple drinks and a couple of appetizers. Collectively, we ordered a Michelada, Paloma, and a watermelon margarita. We ordered the guacamole and elote. They were good. I wish they had salsa on their appetizer menu. When our 4th arrived he ordered the pork belly chicharrón. We ordered the chipotle pasta, bacanora tacos, quesabirria tacos, and the carne asada. Everyone was split down the middle about their food. The chipotle pasta and bacanora tacos were terrific. The Carne Asada was not cooked well and it looked kind of gray. The quesabirria tacos were good, but we have had better. Our service was ok there were lapses in follow up that were frustrating, especially when we wanted to order more drinks. I would give this place another chance, if I was in the area. read more

The host was very friendly and our waitress Marcia was very helpful on explaining and recommending things from the menu. read more

My hubby and I love to try new restaurants, especially during AZ Restaurant Week, so we decided to try out Miel de Agave, and we were pleasantly surprised! We had never been here before and really liked the vibe. The Restaurant Week menu offered an app each, an entrée each, and a dessert each for $44 a person! For our apps, we went with the Elote and the Tacos Dorados (which are potato tacos). Both were amazing! Especially the tacos!! Chef's kiss!! For our entrées, we ordered their Infamous Quesabirria Tacos and their Southwest Cesar Salad. The tacos were huge and delicious! We even had to take two of them home. The salad, however, had no taste and was our least favorite. For our dessert, we had the fried ice and the tres leches cake. We were so dang full that we barely even finished the ice cream and had them box up the cake. My hubby ended up warming up the tacos the next day, and they were just as delicious!! Absolutely a must-go!! read more

To preface, the food and service here is pretty good. I didn't necessarily have a bad experience; however, if you're not into *pretty good* food that's overly priced for a trendy date night experience, maybe this isn't the right place. The most disappointing thing about my experience at Miel De Agave was that I ordered the Never Before Risotto and it wasn't... Risotto at all. I understand that the description reads "Mexican elote," but the menu calls it risotto twice and there wasn't a grain of Arborio rice present. And for $38 you only get FIVE shrimps. The best way I can describe the dish is "overpriced fire roasted cream of corn." I liked the food, but if you want delicious, authentic Mexican food in Arizona, you could find a thousand other restaurants that hit the spot and fill you up way more for way less. Overall, the restaurant itself is SUPER cute, and OMEGA trendy. The perfect spot for a date, birthday, or business meeting. But in my opinion, the price of the food isn't worth the experience. If you do end up going, however, at least get the chicharron--it was the best thing we ate. read more

Cool place tucked away in downtown. We came for a quick lunch on Saturday at 11am and it took almost 10 mins for them to set a table of 3 when the place was almost empty. Other than a table with ~12 people that were leaving, it didn't appear like the restaurant was ready to be open. Once we were seated, our server was great. Food came quickly and was fantastic. I had the birria breakfast plate and my wife got the chilaquiles. We took leftovers home. I'd come back to try their dinner menu, which wasn't available until noon. I think at 11 both menus should be available but there wasn't an option. read more

Well, where do I start with this restaurant? It's not bad by any means. I was good, but not what we were expecting! We did not make reservations, but we thought it was early enough that we could get in. We were able to get seated right away. It's a bit dark in the restaurant, like the lighting is darker in there. There was perfect music. It was a person playing a saxophone at just the right volume and music selection. We hadn't been there before, so we asked for recommendations on the appetizers. The appetizers were good, but the spice level was a bit on the hotter end than what we are used to. The Tuna Tiradito had a chipotle aioli sauce on it, and it was really spicy. Then the Ribeye Agua Chile was delicious, but you got the taste of the heat at the end. Dinner was delicious! Our meats were cooked just the way we asked, and the pasta had this wonderful smoky cheese sauce that was nothing I have ever tasted before. The food was pricy, though. So expect to pay some $$$$. read more

The place is gorgeous and our server was great! Jorge had a lot to do at once and somehow stayed personable and accommodating. If something was missing, he got it right away and was proactive about drinks taking a bit too long. The Enchiladas, Elote, and Dorado tacos are a must try. Passionfruit mojito was great. Other than that, gotta say no bueno, and here is why. -- ATMOSPHERE -- 1. We were sat at a tiny, two-person table in the middle of the restaurant after being told our outdoor reservation was unavailable. Multiple servers had to squeeze past us and they moved a table beside us multiple times, which is not a classy experience at all to me. 2. This is more like tapas than high end. No place to put my purse, but it's still beautiful inside. Had we not been at a small table in the middle of it all, I'd have rated it higher. -- FOOD -- 1. The red salsa served with the salsa and chips was basically a tomato sauce with a hidden spice. Almost watered down. 2. Enchiladas were served with a salad instead of rice and beans. Sides of beans are served in a ramekin intended for sauces. Like a side of ranch, but beans. 3. Ceviche is 10000% NOT CEVICHE. It's Clamato juice, pre-cooked shrimp, tomato, cilantro, onion, with an orange slice and a bit of tajin on top. To add onto that obscenity, they did also did not properly devein the shrimp. -- SERVICE -- Jorge was moving quick and was personable and gave exceptional recommendations. He was being asked to do too much, for sure, but I did appreciate the manager going around and checking on people proactively. read more

First of all, not sure why this place has such a good reviews. Long wait even with reservations, we sat by the bathroom and kitchen, it smells real bad like underground. The Bacanora tacos I ordered I could not finished it. The bacon was so hard and corn tortilla as well. Service was whatever. I commented about the tacos and she doesn't seem care. But the manager was really nice about it and they were overbooked. Hoping the next time they can improve and fix it. read more

I'd like to start off by saying. I probably ordered the wrong item. This place is extremely aesthetic and can be a perfect date night spot. I decided to order pasta which perhaps wasn't the best choice at a Mexican restaurant. The pasta was fine but not something I'd ever order again. I would come back due to the ambiance and service alone. Id also definitely try something different next time. read more

So where do I start... We came here on a Saturday with a huge party of 13 people and were not allowed to sit at the patio. The place had a horrible DJ who did not really know how to mix and was redlining his channels so music was super loud and no one was dancing. The manager said that it is not a club but they had bouncers outside who have you show ID .... We did not understand why this place was not willing to make business with us. Bad service and bad vibe. Such a shame as some nights they have a live band and it is actually okay on those nights. This place is not a good spot to hang out at. We ended leaving within 15 minutes. read more

The first thing I noticed was this restaurant has some serious ambiance. The date night vibes were high. I started with a strawberry margarita that had a tajin mixture on the rim that paired perfectly with the sweetness of the margarita. We started with a tuna sashimi appetizer that was a fusion of Mexican and Japanese. The spicy sauce was absolutely addictive. I ordered the Birria tacos that came out piping hot stuffed with some seriously juicy meat. It came with a flavorful jus and a spicy jus. Hubby ordered the Surf and turf. His steak was cooked perfectly medium and he loved the char on the asparagus. He said it was one of the best steaks he's had in a while. Miel is perfect for date night or even a meal with friends. read more
