    Bang bang shrimp tacos with refried beans and rice, enchiladas with charro beans and rice, and a casa margarita
    Sarah F.

    The food here was delicious! (We ordered the bang bang shrimp tacos and enchiladas.) Great happy hour margaritas too. The space was well air conditioned and comfortable. It's a little loud, but fun. Our waitress was kind. I would have liked more check ins, but she did a great job. There was an issue with the text system not alerting people when their table was ready, but it wasn't a big issue for us. The chips were great. The salsas were just okay. We will be back!

    Service here is awesome, staff is really nice and it's a really cool vibe. The food is good, typical Tex mex style food. The ceviche had no flavor, tasted like pure lime juice. The charro beans are delicious and they have a nice kick. Overall it's worth a try but definitely have the expectation on the style of Mexican food.

    Vegan burrito
    Ryan D.

    The vibes are great, but I found the food to be lacking. The environment is fun and casual; all the staff was welcoming and seemed to be having a good time. Our waitress was super friendly to all of us. She anticipated our needs: fresh chips before we could ask, refill on my daughter's drink at just the right time. While I appreciate the vegan options on the menu, the ones I had were under seasoned and bland. The vegan burrito needed an added sauce and/or some spice. It was just bland as is. I had some of my daughter's vegan burger and the patty was soft and unseasoned. Waffles fries were good though. My MIL said her fried shrimp were very crispy and tasty.

    April 14, 2026 this is the second time I've placed an order thru door dash for "vida agave on wheels" (food truck) and let me just tell yall...it's not the full menu but what they have is excelente!

    We had a great meal here on the patio. Fairly priced, great service, and I got my shrimp fix!

    Michelada

    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.

    Blackened mahi mahi tacos ....

    I was extremely disappointed and disgusted by the food we received. We picked up our order to go. This is the picture of what was supposed to be blackened mahi mahi taco dinner. Fish should be flaky and light... this was like hard and very chewy like. Absolutely gross. This was our first time trying this place. We will not eat here again.

    Burrito Surf & Turf

    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.

    Ceviche
    Armand K.

    Perfect ceviche - very fresh and big portion for an appetizer! We also got the surf and turf and birria tacos, which were also very good! Great spot for lunch or dinner!

    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.

    Awesome, authentic food! David, great service - thanks. Festive atmosphere. We will be back.

    Ice cream taco
    Eden Y.

    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.

I was on a mission to escape the hot humid tropicalesqe afternoon that is a Galveston Texas August day. Daiquiri Time Out popped up while spinning the Roulette Wheel that is Yelp. So,with door code in hand I headed out. Taking note of another Yelpers recommendation to arrive early as the place is small and fills up,we did. On the far edge of downtown in a non descript building this bar, billed as a speakeasy, sat. The sidewalk was melting under my feet as I walked towards the door. No entry code needed. After my eyes adjusted,what I saw wasn't what I expected. Dirty Dancing+Saturday Night Fever+Ms Kitty's Gun Smoke saloon had a strange feel. Ok, let's go. We, as the first guest of the soon to be 5'oclock crowd approached the bartender, alone behind a just right mixing station. After perusing a menu of specialties and being guided through a few questions,we ordered. The good- I found an interesting little place to beat the summer heat and enjoy a decent drink. Not so good- not as billed. Overall no quirkiness or unique qualities to write home about. No snackes served with each drink as described by others. Once the place started filling up and I started my second adult beverage,things were looking up. Go,but with lowered expectations.

So other than the service being a little slow, the place was really cute. The ambience is amazing. I love the big chandelier. It gives you old-time rich vibes. Their menu has different options. They do have a vegetarian portion. The samosas were kind of like beef, taco mimosas that's what it taste like to me. They're red fish was really good cause the crab crusted on the outside and the sauce mixed together. I definitely recommend getting that if you like fish. I got it with a side of mac & cheese. It does come with veggies, but they let you change out the side. My mom got the margarita pizza and I've had pizza for sure but they do have five or six options of pizzas to choose from. And all the best thing was the bread pudding. Definitely get that save some room. It was warm with ice cream and the perfect bread pudding. I've ever had get it. There is street parking after six. It's free. There's a garage parking too. I don't know how much it costs. Besides the service, everything was really good. It took them a while to fill up our waters, but I did notice they were shortstaffed.

When we arrived, we sat down & someone came up and told us that she'd be with us shortly. Well she said that 2-3 more times but after about 20 minutes of waiting we decided to just walk up to the bar and order ourselves. (The bar was lonely but most of the seats on the patio were occupied by friend groups). We had closed out on the first round of drinks with my card & had signed and tipped it. Then we ordered more drinks but with a different tab and card BUT at the end of the night, we were being charged for all the drinks, including the ones we had previously paid & already tipped for. The new tab that was opened only had one drink on it, and the bartender had reopened our previous tab and added the second round to there. When we brought this up to the bartender he was denying that we had already paid the first tab even though we clearly remembered signing the receipt and handing it back to him. He said he triple checked their system and did not see that tab and was ensuring us that it was not paid (the credit card already showed the charge). Finally, a different bartender that didn't even serve us somehow found the receipt. That was kind of crazy because he ensured us that he looked for it EVERY where and there was no sign of it and that he didn't recall us paying & signing the receipt for the drinks. If you do end up giving this place a try, make sure to ask for an itemized receipt so you know exactly what you are paying for and that there aren't any additional charges like they tried to push on us.
