The food was delicious, service was exceptional and professional, and the ambiance was really good. My friends and I had a great time here, music wasn’t too loud and they weren’t in a rush to get us out of there once we were done eating. I had the birria burrito and it was amazing. If you’re in the mood for some delicious food I 100% recommend this place.

Agave & Rye in Covington is a full sensory experience in the best way. The decor is wildly eclectic and colorful, like it was designed by someone who said “yes” to every idea and somehow made it work. The atmosphere is cool, lively, and just chaotic enough to feel fun instead of stressful.

The menu is clearly the work of a very creative stoner with ADHD, because it contains pretty much every taco combination imaginable. You’ll read it three times,...

We were just visiting the area and this place was where we ended up eating. Atmosphere - ✔️ Service - ✔️ Food - not just check, Outstanding!! The selection of tacos is insane, and it may be hard to decide. I would say this place is a must visit if you are in the area!
