Ordered to go. Got my drink and it was over filled and soda was on everything. Both girls handed it to me noticing the soda and didn’t do anything to try to get napkins or anything. The beans tasted and smelled rancid…like the lard or whatever is used was rancid. I couldn’t eat them. I used to love coming here. Not sure I’ll come back.

The drinks were great but a tad overpriced for the amount of drink you actually get. Most of the food was great, some of it was very salty. The restaurant is nice but extremely noisy. Our server was pretty bad. Except for taking our order, she hardly spoke to us. She would come to our table to pick up cups or plates, wouldn’t make eye contact and would not ask us if we wanted anything else. And when we said that we would like to order a second round of drinks, she seemed annoyed that we were asking her to do something. I personally wouldn’t go back to this location, maybe a different location, or a different restaurant all together….disappointing.

Agave Azul never disappoints! The service is always friendly, attentive, and detail-oriented. We love the menu variety and the outstanding cocktails. The Guajillo Citrus Chicken Fajitas and Margarita Chicken are both outstanding. On our most recent visit, we enjoyed the "Jalisco Old Fashioned", the "Pepino Bliss", and "A Night in Tulum". We look forward to our next visit! (To management: If you open another location, please expand to Tampa!)

“Excelente experiencia en este restaurante mexicano. La comida estuvo deliciosa, fresca y con un sabor auténtico. Lo que realmente hizo la diferencia fue el servicio de la mesera Natalia, quien fue muy amable, atenta y profesional durante toda nuestra visita. Siempre estuvo pendiente de que no nos faltara nada y nos hizo sentir muy bien atendidos. Sin duda, su servicio fue el mejor. Recomiendo este lugar y definitivamente volveré. ¡Gracias, Natalia, por brindar una atención excepcional!” 🌮🇲🇽✨

Very noisy, slow service, but the food is good. A bit pricey for the portions.
-
The food and service are always top-tier at every Agave Azul location across central Florida. The consistency of the preparation of the entrees and cocktails is so satisfying because you’re able to go to any location and at any time and know the taste will be the same. All of the staff members display excellent customer care, which adds to the overall experience.

Came here for drinks and appetizers with my friend. We look young for our age, but kept getting stares the entire time. Very uncomfortable environment. Drinks and food were good though. Our server was also very sweet.

We sat at the bar and really loved the vibe here—the atmosphere is great, and both the food and drinks were delicious. However, the experience was dampened by the aggressive upselling. We ordered a burrito and explicitly asked for only what it standardly came with. When the bill arrived, we noticed two separate upcharges for toppings we assumed were included based on our request. Overall, it’s a great spot, but I’d appreciate it if the staff were a bit more respectful of the customer’s wallet. Eating out is already becoming unaffordable, so unexpected upcharges leave a bad taste in your mouth. Still worth a visit, just keep a close eye on your bill!
