“Best Happy Hour in Town!” I’ve been to a lot of places in Peterborough for drinks, but nothing hits quite like Agave’s happy hour. Half-price tequila and margarita pitchers? Yes, please. We came in on a Tuesday and it turned into a full-blown fiesta. The Coconut Jalapeño Margarita was chef’s kiss – spicy, sweet, and totally refreshing. The vibe is fun, the music is just right, and the staff made us feel like regulars. Already planning my next visit!

The owners are solid people; a husband and wife team running the front and back of house respectively. We’ve been a few times and the experiences have all been pretty good, and the limited criticism I’ve had they’ve taken graciously and done their best to address.
The biggest criticism I could give is that the food is inconsistent in both preparation and quality. I suspect much of it is about suppliers but this is something that I’d like to see resolved long term.

If you are looking for a restaurant that will provide you with a good Mexican food experience, Agave is a great option. The restaurant is located right in the city center, near several other businesses, but it stands out for its large sign. As soon as you enter the place, you will find a cozy atmosphere, with typical decorations but not overdone, and pleasant music, which allows people to talk without shouting. The service is excellent from the reception to the moment you leave the establishment.
Menu: they have a children's menu with a good variety of food, basic items such as chicken and rice, tacos and quesadillas, which are more popular with children. The conventional menu is quite extensive and has many options of dishes, and all are identified with the level of spice. In addition, they have a drinks menu (beers, cocktails, spirits), non-alcoholic drinks, and depending on the time you arrive, there are items that are part of happy hour. One thing to note: when ordering dessert, please order the Tres leches cake, because it is simply amazing.
Waiting time: the drinks arrived at the table very quickly, and the food took an average of 15 minutes, but it always arrived beautifully presented and very fresh.
Facilities: for those traveling with children, the restaurant has highchairs for children and changing tables in the restrooms. During the spring and summer, the restaurant has tables in the outdoor area, which allows you to visit the restaurant with your dog, who can sit outside.
For customers with disabilities: the restaurant has a door that opens and closes with springs, plenty of space in the dining room for walkers and wheelchairs, tables at a height for wheelchairs, and adapted restrooms with grab bars, but there are no doors that close and open automatically in the restrooms. Unfortunately, they do not have a menu in Braille, but they are willing to help with any order that customers may make.
They don't have their own parking lot, but you can park your car on the street, paying for parking, and there are some parking lots nearby.
It's worth a visit, the food is great, and the prices are good. We spent $180 Canadian dollars for two adults and 1 child, including taxes and tips.

Young lady who served our table of 3 around lunch today did a lovely job. My goodness was the food ever delicious. I didn't realize some of the empanadas had tofu on my platter ( I didn't read the part that said vegetarian). I was skeptical but my goodness the tofu empanadas were YUMMY, I think i even preferred them over the beef ones. The GUAC was a generous portion and also perfect.Everything on my platter was fresh, crispy and full of flavour. If I return to Peterborough I would come to Agave again. Yummmmm 5 stars!

I dined at Agave a few weeks ago with a friend. It was my first experience and the ambience was so relaxing and comfortable. The food was delicious and I was beyond impressed with the presentation and flavours. Samantha, was our server and she went the extra mile to make our dining experience a pleasant one. She helped answer questions about the menu and tended to our table in a professional and warm matter. Top notch service!

Went for lunch on a Saturday. The service was very nice though a little slow considering there were only 2 other tables at any given time. The food was disappointing. The best dish was the chips and 3 salsa samplers. Everything else was just bordering on bad. Tacos were dry, boring and tasteless. Chimichangas were either dry chewy beef or over cooked shrimp encased in a dry, cement like casing. But the worse was the churros. Rock hard dough. You could get better at a local fair. Wanted to like it but just left unsatisfied.
