This place is unassuming at first, demure even. So you assume it's just a casual little spot to grab a quick bite...until you take that first bite.

This place is a GEM ?

The food was so good I nearly got food drunk from eating so much. The portion sizes are substantial, but the prices that go with them are not. This has to be one of the most reasonably priced restaurants I've ever been to.

Everyone who works their is friendly and whoever is in the kitchen is just killing it back there.

If you looking for a sign to try this place, this is it. You won't be disappointed

If you’re searching for authentic, this is your place. After moving back to Illinois from Arizona, it’s extremely difficult to find the right flavor and authenticity of Arizona. But this place has it. Fresh ingredients, great flavor and made to order. 10/10 will be returning!

My wife and I have talked about trying Barrio Agave many times since they first opened and tonight (5/22/2024) we finally stopped talking about it.
We were greeted with genuine warmth when we entered and told to sit anywhere. I really liked the atmosphere of the place. The decorations were tasteful and the music being played sounded current compared to the more traditional Hispanic music I've heard in other restaurants, which added a lot to the overall atmosphere.
We'd looked at the menu prior to leaving home so we knew what we wanted before walking in the door. The waiter came promptly after we sat ourselves to bring chips and salsa (which was chunky, with lots of cilantro and exceptionally good) and take our drink order. When he returned, we let him know we were ready to order.
I had the El Patron Burrito (chile relleno in a burrito? yes, please!) and my wife had the Taki Burrito. Both came out quickly, although about 1 minute apart, which was a little odd. Regardless of that, the El Patron Burrioto was fantastic and my wife had no complaints about hers other than the size (half came home with us). I'm pretty sure we would order the same dishes again, but maybe me getting the Taki Burrito and my wife going for the El Patron. Our dinner out was $30 and change which was definitely what one would expect for the service and quality of the meal.
We would absolutely eat here again!

Had a great lunch, my taco salad was very good and fresh. The beef tacos were delicious. You get free chips and excellent salsa. I will definitely be going back and taking friends with me.

First and foremost service was excellent, genuinely seemed like they were happy to have us in their restaurant, smiles the whole time. Atmosphere was chill and enjoyable, good music, good decorations, solid across the board. Now when it came to the food I have to say I was genuinely shocked by how unique and creative it was. Not only did it taste completely different from anything I'd eaten from similar restaurants in the area it also managed to taste the most authentic. So flavorful, portions were awesome, didn't come to fast and didn't take too long. Really seemed like they took their time to ensure we had a great experience, we will 100% be going there frequently from now on!

I'm sorry food was not good. No favor at all. No sauces on table. My husband had to wait forever for his burrito. I will say large portions. Thanks but no thanks. I will try another restaurant next time.

A time was had here, the vibe and atmosphere was very welcoming. The food was excellent, along with the hospitality. Definitely would hesitate returning…….could say a lot more but just check it out yourself.

Tried barrio agave for the first time. I had chicken fajitas, they were the best I’ve ever had. The portions were huge, I had plenty of left over and they were just as awesome the next day. The rice is also the best around!! I love Mexican food and I finally found a place that meets my high standards!
