Looks formal, but very casual friendly. Food is spectacular, highly recommend the layered queso (I got it no-bacon because can't eat meat). Girlfriend and I both got three tacos each, I would say the closest contender in Lexington is Condados, and I would reasonably say that agave is a little bit higher on my list. They don't have as many vegetarian options, I will admit, but what they do have are very very good. Would love to see inclusion of a jackfruit option in the future.

The tacos are awesome; no matter your preference.I would call them craft tacos .My wife and I love the grilled cheese street tacos (varying meat/protein options)My only gripe: gangsta rap at lunch on a Tuesday?Loud and obnoxious enough to interfere with our conversation and overall experience

This was my first time and the taco was delicious. I forgot to take a photo and just dug in. I did take a picture of the artwork in the restaurant which was beautiful. This was one of the tables. The prices are reasonable. One regular taco filled me up. They also serve street tacos which are smaller. I will definitely go again.Parking: This location is at the Fayette Mall so there is plenty of parking.

Selena was an awesome server with recommendations for appetizers she enjoyed and what was popular. The breadth of knowledge from the menu made us feel comfortable.
I waited for a burrito here for over an hour and then asked to take it home. And then asked to get a refund since neither occurred. A manager sloppily walked out 15 mins later to not even acknowledge me. Never got the food I ordered or a refund.
Agave & Rye is the best taco restaurant in Lex! They have the tastiest, most extravagant tacos! This is a great environment to try something new and have a few drinks with friends. Highly recommend ordering their Epic Queso Dip, the best queso dip in town!

My recent dining experience at Agave and Rye in Lexington, Kentucky, was an absolute delight from start to finish. Nestled in the heart of the city, this restaurant not only boasts a vibrant and trendy atmosphere but also serves up some of the most delectable Mexican-inspired cuisine I've ever tasted.From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the lively ambiance and stylish decor. The staff greeted me warmly and guided me through the menu, which features a tantalizing array of tacos, appetizers, and craft cocktails. Each dish is a creative masterpiece, blending bold flavors and fresh ingredients in innovative ways.I had the pleasure of trying several tacos during my visit, and each one was a flavor explosion. From the savory Short Rib taco to the zesty Shrimp Diablo, every bite was a culinary adventure. The presentation was also impeccable, with each dish artfully plated and served with attention to detail.In addition to the fantastic food, the service at Agave and Rye was exceptional. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, offering recommendations and ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect.Overall, Agave and Rye exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you're a local or just passing through Lexington, I highly recommend stopping by this culinary gem for a memorable dining experience. Five stars all around!

Agave & Rye is an incredible place with an amazing staff. During a recent visit, I witnessed a remarkable display of dedication and care from the team. Despite challenging weather conditions and below-freezing temperatures, the manager, who was very pregnant, made the selfless decision to prioritize the safety of her staff. She allowed them to leave while she single-handedly served patrons, crafting delicious tacos and alcoholic drinks as if the place was fully staffed. Her commitment and selflessness were truly awe-inspiring. This act of putting others above herself and genuinely caring for her team demonstrated remarkable humanity. The service was exceptional, and the pregnant manager proved to be a true rockstar. To the remarkable pregnant lady with the dark hair, your hard work and compassion did not go unnoticed. You are truly appreciated.Vegetarian options: It’s Tacos do you can substitute anything you wish.Parking: Free and alot!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy in and out.
Definitely something to give a try.
