“Blue Agave, the Mexican restaurant, truly deserves a five-star rating. From the exquisite food to the captivating decor, including stunning mural art, every detail contributes to an amazing atmosphere. The lively music invites you to dance, while their flavorful margaritas are anything but watered down—unlike many other places. The food and service were exceptional, and I was particularly impressed by the presentation of the churro and ice cream that my friend requested, even though it wasn’t on the menu. It was remarkable. You really need to experience it for yourself. Everything about the place was beautiful, from the clean bathrooms to the incredible theme that permeates every corner, even down to the to-go cups. Blue Agave is not only awesome but also incredibly fun. I thoroughly enjoyed my entire experience and highly recommend that you visit. Five stars—I've yet to see a cooler restaurant in the area than Blue Agave! Nichole Aubert“

“Went over the weekend as it was super hot out and the drink flight slushees hit the spot! A bit sugary but def recommend for the sweet tooth fans. The Strawberry Banana was really yummy! The only complaint was sat a drink down to play a game and when went back to get it a server had taken it away. Other than that a very fun time!“

“The star of the show here is Kelli. While the atmosphere is honestly great. It was extremely clean and exactly what you think of when you think of a brunch place. The food was so so. Some dishes like the smores pancakes are to die for while the hashbrowns really lacked flavor and were bland. The reason I still give 5 stars is because of Kelli! I was there with a small group for work and we are honestly a very rowdy bunch. Not only did she play along with our craziness she poked back and made it such a fun experience. She was friendly, outgoing, positive, upbeat, and was still incredibly attentive even with all of our shenanigans. The reason I would go back is specifically to sit at her table. Without her I am not sure if I would have come back but I honestly would recommend going and ask to sit at her section. Thank you Kelli for a great experience!“
