Agave Taco Bar

Well, a year later, life brought us back to Denver; we were so excited to visit our favorite spot and this time our experience was not what we remembered from the previous year. Staff was friendly but Val, our favorite assistant manager was gone and the food was nothing like before. - Waiter was super friendly, but, was not familiar with the menu, at all! I asked for tacos, just the way they were named and listed on their menu and she didn't seem to be familiar with the names or the ingredients. My husband asked for a Margarita that wasn't listed on the menu but was advertised on their screens as the "Lucky Margarita". We ordered one and she said they didn't have that, even when we tried to show her the screen. The manager finally confirmed it was available and we got it. Margarita was good. -As an appetizer we ordered the chips, salsa and guacamole. Guac was decent, salsas ok but, as soon as we tried the pico de gallo, we noticed it was spoiled. It was even bubbly. We called the waiter and told her the pico was bad but didn't need more just wanted her to know so they would stop serving it to the other guests. Well, that did not happen because we saw another guest return the pico, the staff finally smelled it and next time you know someone walks out with a huge container with pico. -Our food was bland; the tortillas were cold, the pastor we raved before was now ok. Tinga taco was mediocre and the nopales and pork taco was salty and not good. I do have to say the Taco Zona Rosa was good, the barbacoa was authentic. My kids pozole was not good at all and broth was thick and blah. Overall, compared to our first two times we were here last year, pretty disappointed. I am pretty sure the chef is not the same person, the food and the attention to detail is not good. Sadly, we won't be returning.Our bill was $88 plus tip. We spent a little bit over $100.

Cute and casual taco spot with a nice patio! Inside is super small so be prepared for a wait if you come at a popular time. Service is quick and food is delicious! Loved their queso and Al pastor tacos.

A very good lunch on a quiet afternoon. Recommended.Good food and service.+ Friendly attentive service.- paper napkins$43.38 for lunch for 2 (inc tax and tip)

After a couple happy hour & Taco Tuesdays at Agave Taco Bar, I must say that I'm a pretty big fan of it! It's in the cute Bonnie Brae/South Gaylord neighborhood on the stretch of small shops and restaurants.. parking can be challenging but it's easy to find a block or so away. Agave has a great patio & parklet with ~10 tables for outdoor dining. Inside has a cute bar with 5-6 stools and a few tables too. The menu is small, mostly taco focused (as the name implies) but they have a few other things too.The jalapeno margaritas are $6 for Happy Hour from 3-6 Monday-Friday.. and they are delicious! They're $11 after HH too so it's a good deal. The $5 chips & salsa trio is nice, you can pick 3 of the 6 salsas.. and they have it combined with the guac on the HH menu for $7. We love the nachos with carnitas on it; it's a great portion (not too much but not too small) and the carnitas is seasoned perfectly. All in all, Agave is a great spot for a weekday happy hour with a couple margs & nachos for ~$35-40 for two people. Service is mostly good, sometimes they're slammed but that's to be expected with a full house for happy hour :) I'll definitely be back!!

Would not return...food was bad to mediocre. Beans and rice were lukewarm if that. Waiter never returned to check on how food was. We ordered chips and salsa with queso as an add on and he charged the queso as a whole separate item for twice the price. Flautas were pretty tasteless. Street tacos were decent. Would not recommend.

Delicious tamale, the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was fun and very family-friendly.

Accurately rated at 3.5 stars, this is a fun patio-oriented Wash Park street taco joint. And I mean that as a compliment. Scootched ( is that even a word?) just east of its more well known neighbor the ATB fills a community niche. Bottom line ... a fine place to satisfy that need-a-taco-and-a-beer kinda craving.

Okay before I start this review I have to admit I'm a bit bias when it comes to street tacos, being from Houston and all. You know Houston knows how to throw down on some street tacos, we don't play about that carne asada.We came to Agave Taco Bar because the vibes drew us in. It's kinda beachy, like a surf bar with tacos. Has a very large outdoor patio with mist machines to help stay cool. Sun shining, doors opened, people enjoying themselves we had to try it out.We ordered one plate with 2 carne asada and 1 grilled shrimp and the second plate with 1 lengua, 1 pastor and 1 carnita...I have to say the pastor was the best. The grilled shrimp is marinated in a citrus mixture and it definitely captures that taste profile but doesn't seem to taste like anything else. The carne asada wasn't bad just need more seasoning maybe a marinade. The lengua didn't get eaten cause once my man knew what it was he no longer wanted it lol. And the carnita wasn't bad. They were also kinda pricey with each taco being $4. Yes, $4 a taco and they really are the mini tacos. Sides are separate. The rice and beans are refried black beans and rice with carrots and corn. Not bad. No charro beans. All in all the place had a good sized crowd so I'd say Colorado wise this place is probably a favorite to some. But to this true Houstonian, it wasn't the Mexican I was quite looking for. Still, I always appreciate good service and a chill vibe where you can kick back and have few a drinks. It's also located in a cute little neighborhood with lots of character. Right next door to a dispensary as well. Check it out for a chill spot to enjoy yourself.

Look at my plate. That's enough said... YUMMMM (carne asada street tacos) Also service was very attentive and kind! We will definitely be back to sit on the porch it was lovely!

Wonderful queso, Delicious food, and fabulous and fresh Paloma's and margaritas. Staff is super attentive. I highly recommend Agave!
