You can’t find birria this good anywhere else!! Literally everything is so good but the birria tacos are my favorite and the birria burrito is my husbands favorite! This place is a must try!!
Because of the gas station it is hard to find parking but don’t let that deter you! It’s so
worth it!

I came for tacos, and Agave delivered with the culinary uppercut. 💥👊
First off, yeah—there’s nowhere to sit. Boohoo. Welcome to SoCal. Roll your windows down, lean the seat back, and let the breeze slap you across the face while you sink your teeth into some of the best damn birria tacos San Diego has to offer. If you’re the kind of person who needs a patio heater and Instagram lighting to enjoy food, maybe stick to brunch downtown.
Now, Agave keeps it honest. You’re here for tacos. Traditional, time-tested, no-frills flavor bombs. Whether you go mini or full-size, they slap every time. Each plate comes with a little side hustle of jalapeños, onions, cucumber, and radish—like the crew rolling with the main act. Crunchy, fresh, and just spicy enough to remind you you’re alive.
And here’s the kicker—you walk away full, but not wrecked. No food coma, no regret, no grease-induced existential crisis. That’s what happens when you use real ingredients and don’t cut corners.
Pro tip: don’t overthink it. Stick to the classics—birria, carne asada, al pastor. This isn’t fusion, this is fuel.
Agave isn’t trying to be cute, it’s just trying to feed you right. And it does.

Horribly dry tacos. Nowhere to dine. Staff was limited and slow. Better to go somewhere else, where there’s seating available. Definitely not a spot to grub and chill

Tacos here are amazingly delicious!!!! Staff members are super nice! Everytime I go to the beach I must make a stop here! It a must to try! I promise you won't regret it!
This place used to have some seating out, now is just a takeout restaurant.
