My husband and I were staying at an Airbnb nearby and found this spot on Yelp. We sat at the bar on a Saturday, which you'd expect would be better service. It wasn't even with 3 bartenders behind the counter. It seemed a bit disorganized. I'd give it a 3/5 for service. I'm picky about my Mexican food. The rice has to be cooked a certain way and the meat not overcooked in the tacos / fajitas. I was impressed so the food was 5/5! The ingredients and flavor were on point. We'll definitely come back for the food. read more

There is a small parking lot for this restaurant. The service is great though. We were seated right away. The space is big, open and airy. The servers were attentive and checked in. There is a full bar and outdoor seating as well. The food was good. I enjoyed my chicken salad. The black beans were excellent. It is a good portion for the price. read more

I stopped by here a couple of nights ago for dinner. My wife and I were trying to find a place to eat when we came across Vida Agave. We had actually driven past this place a number of times during the week we were in Galveston, so we knew exactly where it was. The inside of the restaurant is interesting, as the bar looks like a metal-roofed beach bar and fits nicely inside the space with its roughly 20-foot-high ceilings. I had placed our order online, and it said it would be ready in 20 to 25 minutes. When I arrived 23 minutes later, our order was ready, and I was quickly in and out. For dinner that evening, I went with the surf and turf burrito while my wife chose the seafood quesadilla. The menu described mine as beef fajita, grilled shrimp, guacamole, fried string onions, and rice, served with charro beans on the side. My first thought when I saw my burrito was that it looked a little small, but there was plenty of shrimp and beef inside, and it tasted great. By the time I finished it, I realized it definitely wasn't small after all. Afterward, I started in on the charro beans, which ended up being delicious. They had a nice kick to them, and the beans themselves were really flavorful. If all beans tasted like this, I'd be making or ordering them more often. My wife enjoyed her seafood quesadilla as well. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our food, and I especially liked those charro beans. read more

Service was lovely. She was incredibly sweet. Food was that of a chain Mexican restaurant. Very blah. Margaritas were very small for the price. We did however enjoy the patio outside. It was very nice at night. Wish the food was better. read more

My husband and I tried them for dinner while in town and it's a new favorite for us. The beef fajitas were tasty and we could just drink both of their salsas. It was nice out so we enjoyed sitting on their patio. Food and service was great! read more

Wife had shrimp tacos, they were the best ever. Service was great. Very nice vibe. I dropped a star because the vegan burrito had no apparent spicing. Lovely mix of well cooked veg, good tortilla, but no salt/pepper or other spices on the veg made it bland. I asked for more salsa and drenched it in that. Was just OK. read more

We have like Vida Agave in the past. Tonight the service was poor. The hostess gave misinformation and didn't even apologize when called out on it. Waiter was elbow friendly, not attentive to our needs at the table we had to flag him down. He had no idea what we ordered when it was time to pay the bill. Food was good, drinks were good but Galveston has too many restaurant choice to settle for unfriendly service. read more

Love this place so much! Every time I visit Galveston I come here at least once. Ceviche is amazing. Flautas plate is amazing. Ice cream taco dessert is amazing. Salsas are flavorful. Service is really great too. Highly recommend. read more

Very nice humble restaurant. Staff was great, the got us seated fast with chips and drinks. Lots of classic Mexican food options to choose from, though there aren't much options. I went during a busy time and the service was still good and super fast. Food was hot, fresh, and very good. No bad comments! I recommend trying this place out if you enjoy eating Mexican food or are looking to eat something with lots of choices. read more

This place was voted best tacos in Galveston, and I can taste why. The chips and salsa were my first indicator that I was in for a treat. The tamarind Paloma was unexpectedly my favorite Paloma ever. The chimichurri asada tacos were very good, but the rice and beans were my favorite part of the meal. I will be thinking of this place until next time I'm on the island. Fantastic service and with a group of about 30, I was impressed with the efficiency. Very cool place, I highly recommend checking it out! read more

Enjoyed a lovely happy hour on a Friday at Vida Agave! The happy hour specials were good, and the margarita's were delicious. I had the street corn and margarita from the happy hour menu, and my entrée was from the regular menu. I enjoyed the beer battered salmon taco. For a small extra charge, they replaced the tortilla with a lettuce wrap. The rice and beans were delicious. Service was fast and friendly and the environment was super cute. It's not a large place, but it's definitely a solid little corner restaurant on a popular street in Galveston. read more

My partner and I were looking for some decent seafood and we didn't want to hazard the beachfront restaurants with their crowds and high prices. Vida Agave had great reviews so we made our way over to its location across from the federal courthouse. We greatly enjoyed the drinks and food as everything was made with care and fresh ingredients. The ceviche was decent but my favorite was the mahi mahi tacos done lettuce wrap style. The protein portions were huge in all of our entrees. Service was very attentive and made you feel right at home. There was a lot of energy in the dining room but the music and noise was kept at a reasonable level so we could enjoy our meal. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended. read more

Found this restaurant here on YELP. It did NOT disappoint. My party of 3 had the jumbo shrimp entree, the Blackened Poblano Shrimp, and Flautas with rice and beans. All were served nice and HOT, with appetizing presentation. Everything was delicious, with very generous portions and extremely fair prices. Service was friendly and very efficient. HIGHLY recommend!! read more

First time coming here. The hostess was quick in getting us a table. The ambiance is casual and homey. Outdoor dining is available. Our waitress took our drink and appetizer order and it was out quick. We ordered the wrapped jalapeños as appetizers and they were delicious. Hot peppers, so if you don't like hot, skip them. They are chicken and cheese filled, very good. We ordered the flautas and the mini beef tacos. The mini tacos were delicious with tender beef, onions and cilantro and filled well. The flautas were also good. I ordered a michelada with a michelob and it was very tasty and worth it. We met a couple who had just arrived from a cruise since the port is not too far away. I would definitely recommend and come back again. read more

Absolutely AMAZING! The tomatillo salsa was incredible along with everything else we had. You really can't beat homemade, fresh and tasty food like this. I had the shrimp tacos - 10/10. My husband had the enchiladas I think? Also a 10/10. Service was excellent - ambiance was incredible and fun and we would definitely go back if we were in the area. read more

In town from Austin to file some paperwork and unfortunately reached the courthouse at lunchtime... Or now I should say, fortunately! While waiting for the clerk to return from lunch, I walked across the street to Vida Agave for something basic. Wowww!!! What a local gem! It's not in the popular tourist areas, but is tourist worthy. Service was impeccable and genuinely caring. Her heart was right there. The food star.... Birria Tacos! Can I get an OMG?!?! The two salsa that were served. We're both fantastic. I am all about flavor and not in need of hot for the heck of it. These did not disappoint and were fabulous. I have phenomenal cooks in our family and my son was in the restaurant industry for 14 years and a former chef. I had to message him immediately and tell him how wonderful this was. He was so jealous. So authentic. So delicious. Next time I'm in town, I'll be back. Until then, if you're reading this, I hope you'll go sooner. read more

We went here today for a late lunch. Two of us and it was moderately busy. We both had the enchiladas with rice and beans. The service was amazing from the chips and sauce the paying the bill.

Atmosphere is pleasant with nice outside seating area. Chips and salsa was very nice. Prices are on the low to medium range. Service is lil slow but friendly. Is set up to easily acc groups of 6 to 10 people from what I saw. Has a large bar with a few TVs around. read more

The little unassuming storefront holds so much goodness and deliciousness, it's unbelievable. We are a family of 5, with two toddlers and a VERY hungry preteen. The toddlers both chose the quesadillas with waffle fries and were happy with their decision. The giant preteen chose the fajitas and actually stopped after one extra order of tortillas because he was full! Of course, he finished off most of it but there were still leftovers and the food was absolutely delicious. They also made them vegetarian for him by adding some squash instead of meat. My husband and I shared the burria tacos and agave fries. When I say this is the best Mexican food I've found in Texas, I mean it! We will be back every time we come back to Galveston. I highly recommend absolutely anything on the menu that we had. I did get a virgin Paloma and it was very sour. I didn't mind but if you're looking for a sweeter drink, maybe it's not the right one for you. Our server was outstanding, kind, patient with the kids, and friendly. Belgica made sure we had every thing we needed and then some. When we were all done, I ordered too much dessert which I didn't even get photos of because we were all so busy consuming it. The taco ice cream and flan were obviously house made and fresh. We finished it all. We will be back for sure! If you are looking for more of a West Coast vibe Mexican food, this is the place. read more

Enjoyed our surf & turf burrito and mango & pineapple jalapeño margaritas . Jose was a great server ! Very attentive & welcoming!

Truly in between 3 and 4 stars but i would come back so I leaned towards 4. Came here mid study break on a whim lol and I do not regret it!!! The vibe is definitely casual and fun! Upon entry you can seat yourself and I was greeted quickly! Granted, it was a Monday night so it wasn't too busy BUT considering it was a Monday night, there was a decent crowd and that's always a good sign! Nonetheless, the service is great :) The drink menu is EXPANSIVE! It is mostly tequila and tequila-based drink options which I actually LOVE but it is a full bar so I'm sure they can make everything! The food menu also has a decent amount of options but is definitely more on the limited side but still somewhat diverse (burgers, tacos, wings, etc.) so it should be easy to find something you like! I got street corn, birria tacos, and a virgin mojito as well (now I typically would have got a drink drink but like I said, I had to go back to studying! Lol) Virgin passion fruit mojito: 10/10 so good and refreshing, I will definitely be back to try it with a little alcohol! Street corn: 6or7/10 creamy and seasoned throughout, strong chile flavor Birria tacos: 5/10. Tasty but I've had better! Overall, Vida Agave was a very pleasant find in Galveston. The staff is fantastic, the drinks DRANK, and food is good!!! I will DEFINITELY be returning to try a little more of everything honestly. And apparently they have Sunday Salsa Classes?!??? Yeah I'm coming back for those too! read more

If you are looking for a great caterer for your fiesta or grad party I highly recommend Vida Agave! The entire experience was fantastic and the price could not be beat by other local competitors. They came on time, set up elegant chafing dishes, a very nice display of condiments, and communicated well throughout the process! Everything was picked up the next day. The beef and chicken fajitas were well marinated and seasoned. The quantity was perfect. Our friends even raved about the black beans, cheese dip, green sauce and the pico as well. Great food at a great price. Well done Luís! read more

I love everything avocado, but I never thought to combine avocado and a margarita. Enter the Avocado Rita at Vida Agave. It was such a refreshing and tasty drink. It made me realize that I had been missing out! The vegan burrito was simple in a good kind of way. The sauces were light and had such tasty flavors. Our server was nice and made sure we had everything we needed. read more

Vida Agave - Vegan Burrito - Tacos Near Me - Galveston, Texas

See all

This restaurant was listed under, "good for vegans", uhh, I don't think so! Maybe for vegetarians. I ordered some nachos without meat and cheese and when the order came out, it was doused in queso cheese. I immediately sent it back because I can't eat that. I asked that they make it vegan. The second time it came out, it barely had any lettuce, beans, tomatoes with a pile high tortilla chips. They don't serve vegan cheese or have meat substitutes which was a huge bummer! The nachos were quite bland. Servers were accommodating and apologized for bringing out the wrong order. For the meal, I ordered the vegan burrito. It comes with no sides which sucks too. The rice and beans are NOT vegan. They made with animal products. The burrito was absolutely bland and messy because of the amount of water based vegetables they included such as squash, zucchini, and tomatoes. They were out of mushrooms, so I opted in for carrots. It's funny that they call themselves a Spanish restaurant, but lack spices and seasonings. A little bit of salt, cumin, and chili powder would have gone a long way to make this flavorful. The other person I dined in with enjoyed their meal immensely because it was well seasoned. The atmosphere was okay; tables sat too close together so you could hear the next person's conversation. It's in a prime location of Downtown. I most likely won't return because I don't like nasty unseasoned food. It's 2024, they should at least adopt more vegan options to accommodate all customers. read more

Gave this place another try during happy hour, sat at the bar, and ordered the frozen house margarita with passion fruit. Reiterating a sentiment from my previous review, this place's drinks do not disappoint! There was strong fruity flavor while still packing a punch of alcohol. However, I was disappointed that they took off the $6 mojito from their happy hour menu (unsure if it's still on their regular drink menu) read more

Slow, but friendly service. Sunday afternoon and there are three servers. One is also the bartender who is taking tables on the floor while managing the bar and drinks. Chips are good with great corn flavor. Red salsa tastes and looks like a can of tomato soup thinned out with a touch of mild spice. The green salsa was better with an underlying lime flavor. We had the Birria tacos. I've had better at other places, but they were good. We also had the classic beef tacos. These were small street tacos. Overall, they were dry which lime and salsa could not help. The beef was chucked in an unappealing way and had a bit of a strange flavor. We ate two and stripped the beef from the remaining two to share with our perritos (dogs) who were waiting for us. Both meals were overpriced for what we received. On a positive note, the beer was very cold. read more

This is a great spot in Galveston. The food is fantastic. The beef fajitas, fried salmon tacos, ceviche. We have dined here several times and love everything we have tried. Wide variety of beer and tequila. Excellent cocktails. Extremely friendly staff. Fun place. Try it. You won't be disappointed. read more

My friend brought me here, and he told me his friend from South America really likes the food, which meant that it must be good. When we went to the restaurant, we coincidentally ran into that friend. I got the Thai chili chicken tacos, which were very unique and delicious. I had previously had very mid Asian fusion tacos, but these were so good. The chicken was sweet and juicy, and it was perfect with the cabbage. My friend got the classic street tacos, which are his go to. I did think it was a little pricey for the portion size as the beans and rice were much smaller than I expected, but everything tasted very good. The beans were black and had a refried texture, which I also thought was unique. read more

We enjoyed everything we ordered during our visit while on a girls trip to Galveston! We arrived around 7pm on a Saturday assuming it would be busy. Luckily we were able to be seated right away. The cocktails were delicious. The passion fruit mojito was everything I wanted in a cocktail. My friends also enjoyed their variety of flavored margaritas. The food hit the spot. The poblano shrimp was plenty filling, creamy and rich. Usually people leave the rice on their plates, but we all enjoyed the seasoned rice too. My friends ordered tacos, Flautas, and the chile relleno and everyone enjoyed their food. We'd definitely visit again when in Galveston! read more
