Agave Azul Kitchen & Tequila Bar

I can't believe that I haven't reviewed Agave Azul yet!We love Mexican food. It's one of those cuisines where just about anyone can find something they enjoy. We had heard a lot of wonderful things about Agave Azul from friends and coworkers. What do you do when you hear about a great restaurant? You try it out naturally! The restaurant is located in a strip mall, but don't let that deter you! There is always a friendly host to greet you and take you to your table. When the weather is nice, there is plenty of outdoor seating too. The inside ofThe restaurant is not too big, but there is a nice bar area that is separate from the main dining room.The chips and salsa are so good! You are given not one but 3 salsas to try. There is one that is a little on the spicier side so be careful if you are not a fan of heat. They also have the most amazing Brussels sprouts which are seriously some of the best I've ever had. I love the fajitas and my husband loves the carnitas! Both are fabulous. Agave Azul is one of those restaurants that once you've tried it, you can't believe it took you so long to try it and you don't want to go anywhere else anymore. At least that is how we feel about it. Thankfully it's not that far from home so we can eat some yummy Mexican food whenever we get a craving!

Anayanci es una gran mesera, muy amable, atenta y siempre te recibe con una gran sonrisa. Respecto al restaurante me encanta su comida, en especial camarones con crema y raja.El staff del restaurante siempre es amable y atentos!

Love this place! I don't come often because I live in Merced but when I do, food and drinks are always on point. Went this morning for brunch with my boyfriend. Rating for all the food we had is 5/5 stars. Churro French Toast was delicious. Chicken & Waffles were so good. It came with both regular and spicy syrup. The spicy syrup paired well with the fried chicken and waffles. Chilaquiles was made with the red sauce and scrambled eggs. The mimosa flight was okay but presentation was cute. Definitely recommend other cocktail drinks on the menu if you're dining in for lunch or dinner. Service was really good. Got our food pretty quick and waiter checked on us a couple times. Will for sure be going back!

This place is fabulous!! Great food & service. Only drawback is they are closed on Mondays!! Taco Tuesday such a great deal!! Definitely a hidden gem & a must try!!

A spot in Hughson area that is a lot of locals secret spots. Had outdoor seating for my party so I couldn't tell about inside ambience, but I'd say perfect spot to come to in evening time before sun down; seating could feel more organized. This spot has a really good happy hour menu, my drink was about $7+ and I have to say it's a good deal!! I had the quesadilla while my homegirl had the quesabirria, both phenomenal and well worth it. Portions are huge, enough to share between folks and I still had leftovers. Chips and salsa were free for us so a huge plus! The waiter was fast and humorous about our questions so honestly felt like talking to an old friend at this spot. Come here with good company and you'llenjoy it!!

This spot is a gem and hidden! I love the food and the drinks. They have a happy hour menu and I came in on a Saturday! The happy hour drink was good & only $7! They serve chips and salsa for free. How great is that! I had the shrimp tacos (grilled) and it came with beans and rice!! SO YUMMY!

My bf and I have been here twice so far... his co-worker recommended this restaurant and we are so glad she did! Every time both of us are in the area we definitely try to stop by! Our food, drinks and service has been impeccable (shout out to David), however, we even noticed the cohesiveness between the workers and everyone was very attentive, I mean probably thee best service we've had. He even wanted to replace our chips because they were broken towards the bottom! So far we've ordered the Azteca burrito, potato tacos plate, flautas plate, and the shredded chicken and grilled chicken sopes combo literally all the meals are *chefs kiss* the drinks are always looking aesthetically pleasing and great pricing for everything! They have daily specials and happy hour! My bf doesn't drink alcohol and they even serve virgin Micheladas, I've ordered the Beso Linda and the Lemon drop! They have 3 areas: the bar section, dining section, and outside patio with heaters. We're so glad we've found this hidden gem and definitely will be back!

If I could leave zero stars, I would, this place is such a disappointment and that's me being kind. I ordered menudo and when I got it, I knew right away it was not edible because of the taste and smell. I should have followed my gut and asked for something else because the next day I had food poisoning due to that menudo. They really shouldn't be serving food that's not up to standards. It was my second time going and I will never go back, food is trash, drinks are trash, this place is nothing special, save your time and money.

Drinks were made with fresh ingredients. Beautiful cups. Food was delicious and great portion size. I got the poblano chilaquiles and menudo (no hominy option) and home made tortillas I'm a sucker for home made. Perfect spot in a small town

I'd give this place five stars if it wasn't for the flies that kept coming in and service technicalities. There was some confusion with the tortillas and some plates that were soups took forever to arrive as if they were cooking them to order. Now let me tell you, the plates were huge! And sooo good. When we checked in on Yelp we got the complementary bean and green sauce appetizer. It was sooooo fire! Tortillas were handmade fresh to order both corn and flour. Heck yesss!! And every bite of plate and food shared with the table was delicious! Didn't love the limited bathrooms and service was mid but I'd order the plates to go!
