Agave 137

Stopped into agave 137 on a Sunday evening. It's a seat yourself situation with 3 small tables outside and plenty of inside and bar seating. The complimentary chips and salsa were the best I've ever had, the salsa was smoky and the chips were dusted with salt and flavor. We ordered one of their specialty cocktails I think called circus flare? And a spicy margarita. The specialty cocktail wasn't my favorite as it just tasted like spiked sunny D, but the marg was delicious. I ordered the quesadilla Americana with chicken. It is the same chicken used in the chicken tinga taco. The meat was soft, tender, and moist. However I found it to be quite spicy and because of this I could only eat 1/4 pieces :( my friend also found her chicken tinga taco to be spicy as well. When we brought it up we were told they were changing up the recipe. The pork taco was excellent and the fish taco was a 10/10 very crispy and flavorful. My favorite item was the street corn, creamy and tangy I would eat that everyday!! We sat outside on their patio, it is shaded and great for people watching. Aiden was our server, he made sure our waters were always full and answered all our questions. He also gave great recommendations. I recommend agave 137 and will definitely be back!

$20 for the worst drinks ever. Literally only paying for sour mix. No thanks sis. Not worth it at all.

We stopped by Agave for lunch and found a quaint little bar restaurant. Not many people on a Sunday afternoon. Agave was a nice little place with a good menu of reasonably priced tacos and other foods. Ala carte menu that had varied items to select from. I tried a rockfish and jerk chicken taco. Jerk chicken was spicy and flavorful. The rockfish was fried perfectly and the jicama slaw was a perfect complement. Bottomless chips and salsa was a great topper for our lunch.The bartender was attentive and friendly. All in all we enjoyed our visit. The downside was the heat was out and it was quite chilly.

Stopped in on a Tuesday night around 630. Not many patrons. Self seating. Server was nice but the 1810? house drink was trash. All mixer. Onto the food We had an array of tacos and the carnitas was too salty to eat. I realize this is a salty dish by preparation but it was inedible. All, I mean all, of the tacos tasted like the seasonings were mixed up and did not pair well. All of the meat was terrible. I did not finish one taco, only tasted. We paid and left. Won't be back. Shame. Great location, decor and atmosphere. Food and drinks matter, especially when that's what you sell.

The food: The queso dip and guacamole were fantastic! However, I recommend the chef consider heating the chips up before serving or even make them fresh ‍, this would really compliment the outstanding dips. Tacos: Ordered chorizo tacos and the brisket tacos. They were absolutely delicious. The chorizo is a classic Mexican chorizo with the Smokey flavor I was looking for! The chef did not skimp on the filling. The braised brisket was also tasty, I wouldn't say it was "special" but, more of a comfort food. Loved the pickled (or maybe lime marinated? ) onions on top Now, if you are looking for "special", try the Korean taco! A little sweet with a lot of heat. Very delectable! A taco standout! A couple of very small issues, food was served on the coolish side and the corn tortillas really needed to be heated. This was not a show stopper for me, as i scarfed them down! Other stuff: The yucca fries are also a standout. Seemingly hand cut and served hot and fresh! Dip these in the queso or guacamole!!The street corn was freaking phenomenal but, I was a little taken aback that it is served on the cob. I'm used to this in Mexico, but at a sit down restaurant it might be nice to have it off the cob or maybe served with a knife... or a boatload of wet napkins! My face was all up in it!! I had the street corn facial The drinks: The skinny margarita was perfectly prepared. Very fresh tasting lime, not sweet with a Smokey mescal (i think?). The black salt rimmer is a very classy addition! Also, I really like the high end cocktail glass...very nice addition The bar: talk about a tight ship, this place is very well run with excellent service. The bartenders were all very quick with service and plentiful with the smiles and warm demeanor. Everyone was constantly working to keep everything stocked and ensure that customers were serviced quickly. I was super impressed with the team work here. Overall impressions: Our waitstaff was phenomenal! Natalie kept in constant contact with our table, checking in to ensure we had everything we needed and in general adding pleasant conversation for our experience. Other waitstaff helped out and were also very pleasant to interact with. We will definitely be back and i highly recommend, especially if you can catch happy hour. Really great HH specials!

The flavors of the food were not terrible, but the food wasn't cooked well. The sweet potatoes in the vegetable tacos were not cooked nearly enough, so they were still crunchy. The brisket in the zany taco was really oily. The plantain side dish was a nice size, but the pieces were all cut so thick that they didn't cook through & caramelize properly. The side of rice came out after the rest of the meal, and was tepid (if not on the cold side of tepid). The waitress was really friendly though. The rockfish taco was very tasty.

I was in the mood for tacos and a quick search led me here. I was here on a Tuesday around 5pm and when I got there only two other people were in the restaurant. Granted, it was the day before Thanksgiving so maybe that had something to do with how not crowded it was. But it was definitely filling up by 6pm, which is when their taco deal started. They also had a happy hour taco menu, but only included a few from the menu.I love a spicy margarita and they do make a good one here. Plenty spicy. The bartender also recommended the cucumber margarita. The flavor was outstanding. Definitely would order again.The tacos are huge. I ordered 3 and was full, but wished I could eat more. I had the carnitas taco (just eh), the rockfish taco (better), and the jerk chicken taco (the best - YUM) They had a lot of other creative tacos on the menu so I definitely want to go back and try more. I'm a fan.

Our experience at Agave was overall, fine. I would highly NOT recommend this restaurant for vegetarians, though. To start with the positives, the service was good + quick. We had our waters + salsa very quickly. The restaurant was pretty empty, which we thought was surprising for Taco Tuesday. The margaritas were also good, but a bit pricey at $11 each. The location is also great in downtown Frederick. On the other hand, our food was pretty disappointing. There were no vegetarian tacos offered for Taco Tuesday, but we ordered the veggie tacos, the vegetarian nachos, elote, and the plantains. The veggie tacos had very little filling, and tasted overwhelmingly like the mustard in the sauce. They weren't terrible, but they were underwhelming for $6 each. The nachos were decent, but again the topping ratio was not ideal. It was hard to get a bite of nachos with all the toppings. The plantains were good, but I wish they had a sauce to go with them. The corn was also fine. I mostly used the plantains and corn to eat with the nachos + tacos to give them more substance. Overall, not terrible, but certainly not good for vegetarians.

Our server, Aidan, was fantastic! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. Aidan made our dining experience special. Thanks Aidan and Agave !

The chicken quesadilla is amazing!! It is severed with a side of pico de gallo, crema, cotija! The chicken was slow cooked and juicy and flavorful and delicious!! Margaritas were also very tasty as well as the chips and salsa! Our server, Aiden, was kind and professional! Looking forward to coming back soon!!
