The atmosphere in this restaurant is great and I love the beautiful hand painted artwork especially on the bathroom doors. I was kind of disappointed in the food... the food didn't have the amount of flavor I was expecting, I got a fajita quesadilla and the chicken was not really seasoned and had a boiled texture. Also... the women's bathroom had roaches... I saw 4 when I was in there and it was after we ordered our food so it was too late to leave, but the restaurant is actually very clean and well maintained otherwise so we gave it a chance hoping maybe they just snuck in since they have a large open door that goes outside to a seating are. I didnt see any signs of bugs anywhere else in the restaurant, just the bathroom, everything else is very clean.

Like most Mexican food in the area this is overpriced fast food. After ordering 5 dishes and them getting to the table in less than 5 minutes and 3 of the 5 dishes having cold spots I can say the food here is not much better than Taco Bell and it is 6 times the cost.

Great dinner spot with amazing vibes! We had dinner on the patio at Blue Agave and absolutely loved it. The drinks were massive, fun, and packed with flavor—garnished with fruit and umbrellas that made them stand out. Chips, salsa, and guac were super fresh and tasty.
The menu is huge with tons of options, especially if you love Mexican food and seafood. Everything we tried was delicious, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere was relaxed but lively, and the “Good Vibes Only” sign said it all.
Perfect place to enjoy dinner with friends or family. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was good. The service was good. What I did not find appealing is that you have to be a white person to be treated extra good. We didn’t get water when we sat down, but as I looked around “other” people got water.
DELICIOUS!! Nice atmosphere and great food.

Always prompt and good service! Great menu with tons of options. Nice patio area. My only negative is I like more cilantro in my salsa, but that’s a personal preference.

Good food, some was too spicy and some a little bland. Street tacos and rice was good! Flight of margaritas was okay. Miami vice drink was delicious! Server was attentive and friendly.

1st time visiting. Will definitely be back. Our server was super attentive without being over bearing. Very helpful when we shared we were 1st time customers. I had the shrimp and pineapple street tacos. Hubby had the enchilada supreme. Very good!

Food and service were pretty good. Bad part is paying $20 for a margarita that was made with tequilla I pay $26 a bottle for back home. It was a rip off.

The drinks are outstanding. All the flavors of margaritas are pretty good, but I think that you should strongly consider the blood orange. I mostly enjoy the food, but it tends to be a little toned down. I think they miss the mark sometimes because they're trying to be a little less spicy for the suburban Iowa crowd.
