Drinks are so good here. They are not selfish with the tequila. The food is good also. But this is a nice hangout spot with friends.

Nearly empty when I walked in, and unfortunately the food and service both disappointed, so I learned why. The food came out quickly but was bland. I split my sauces between red and green and couldn't tell the difference. Service was inattentive for having nobody else to attend to when I needed drink refills. Prices and decor are good, but the quality just doesn't back it up.

I'm not sure why I haven't made a post sooner. I love this place the food is great, the drinks are great and service is always friendly! Occasionally the menu does change and right now they are serving a variety of happy hour $6 margaritas and shots. What ever they have here in steak...order it! One of my favorite spots to get steak tacos and steak enchiladas. So why four stars instead of five??? I wish they would update the finishing on the tables. Because the finishing is so dated, when they wipe the tables off they are very sticky. Almost makes you not want to sit and eat. Have a drink or two and you'll get past it.

Tonight, e decided to hit the Blue Agave. The establishment is trendy, clean, visually appealing. Loved the atmosphere of the Mexican decor shopping with Chicago trendy downtown atmosphere. Upon entering, we sat at the bar and was immediately helped by our server. We split an order of steak fajitas, ordered 2 margaritas as well that were excellent. The food was amazing. The steak and fixings were bursting flavoring and seasoning. They give you enough fixings for 3-4 people if they eat light! What I don't get... they give you 4 tortillas for all of it! Lol.. seriously?! Make sure you ask off the bay for extra tortillas, because it took them over 25min to get us extras after we asked and they weren't even that busy. One big issue was the quality of their service. We were sitting at the bar where 2 people were bartending, but they favored one small group on the other side and duties behind the bar than helping our side. I had to get up to ask for a refill and extra tortillas. The wait was ridiculous for a slower night. Overall, I highly recommend Blue Agave for their food! Just make sure you plan ahead for slow service because I almost have 3 stars for how bad it was... luckily I couldn't in good conscience do it with the high quality of food we had!

We just moved in my daughter next door to her apartment and decided to eat here for dinner on Sunday night. I like the ambiance and spanish music playing in the background. Lots of seating in very nice wood high tables and chairs. The service was really good. We ordered the chips and salsa and with guacamole. The chips were warm and the guacamole was well made. I got the chicken burrito but my daughter and niece let me try their dishes. The beef quesadilla was very tasty and different with thick slices of beef and the chicken enchilada was also very good. Prices were ok for being in downtown and they are big portions leaving you totally full or having some for leftovers.

Food was delicious! I loved the Birria tacos and the drinks were great! Wish that the servers doted on us more but I understand that it got really busy half way into our meal. The restaurant gave sports bar vibes! Dinner was great.

Came here with a friend a few days ago and was pretty impressed with the flavor and the amount of food they gave ! The steak for my quesadilla was a great quality which is important to me. (I got a seasonal special quesadilla so it might not be available for much longer)I would pass on their elote (corn in a cup). It has a slightly sweet hot seasoning which I wasnt impressed by. But their guac is AMAZING. Which is hard to find at city restaurants Service was great and the restaurant is clean w/ AC. Outside is self seated. The only con is the noise from the train makes it hard to hear.

It was about 5 pm on a Friday night, and our impromptu (poorly planned) dinner reservation with some friends was at 9 pm, so we needed something quick as a mini snack for pick-up (before I get HANGRY). Everything in the area was about 30 mins to 1 hour to prepare on GrubHub.Blue Agave was giving an estimate about 10-15 minutes on GrubHub! SOLD! My fiance ordered a steak burrito from here, which came with 2 generous sides. For ~$16, this was a good deal. I only ate the sides because I did not want to be not hungry for my 9 pm dinner. For sides, we had the chips and salsa, and Mexican Street Corn.I absolutely LOVE the Mexican Street Corn from here. I can eat a whole tub if I can. For what it's worth, I hear the burrito was delicious, too.

Walked by this place many times. My wife and i had chicken enchiladas. The best part of them was they were hot. The meat was stringy and chewy. I do not recommend.

I walk past this place frequently and never tried it because it is never crowded, and I figured that it must not be great. I was completely wrong. Decided to try it one night and ordered the Molcajete with chicken, and it was one of the best things I've had in Chicago in a long time. The portion sizes actually match the pricing which is not normal for most places, and the drinks are solid. The service was also very nice and timely. Would highly recommend going here if you are in the area.
