I'm not a fan of so called "gourmet" taco joints. Most offer standard food, slap on a "gourmet" name and up the price for a tiny street taco. (Yes, I'm talking to you Torchy's & wannabes). Agave & Rye never got that memo. Our group of 12 was promptly greeted. Drink orders were taken and menus delivered. What a menu! Everything from Kangaroo to Lobster. The Crown Jewel was an exceptional lobster taco. Break lobster. Lots of chunks from claw & tail. If you're a lobster fan, it's easy to swallow the $15tab. My "return of the Mac" was delicious. A regular burger patty lies flat on a tortilla and then they fill it with cheese, lettuce, tomato & guacamole. It's a "one and done". My wife couldn't finish her Filthy Fajita. My son in law went with a bacon wrapped hotdog and my daughter-in-law went with the crown Jewel. These are seriously large tacos. One to an order, ranging from $8-$15. You won't need more than one. BTW, the best darn queso and salsa I had in years. Great stick to your chip consistency. With great flavor. The salsa was chunky, flavorful. Both absolutely terrific. Both served in large bowls. I understand there's an Agave & Rye in New Albany. There's a visit coming in the near future.

My girlfriend and I stopped for dinner last night during Louisville restaurant week. I'd eaten here years ago, and not had a super memorable experience (good or bad).The meal we had last night was bad. Like, really bad. We ordered from the pre fixe menu and got one additional jumbo taco and app to split. I'm not joking when I say every single thing tasted stale and like it had come out of a microwave. The shrimp appetizer specifically tasted like it had some kind of spoiled meat in it.We also ordered the "new fashioned" cocktail which was overly sweet and syrupy. It's not often that I feel compelled to write a Yelp review, but this was a rough experience. Can't recommend this place at all if this is the current quality level.

I have mixed feelings about this place. There are some things I really liked and others I didn't like at all. The atmosphere is noisy and fun yet rundown and dirty feeling. The service was very friendly, but not fast or accurate. The food was interesting and creative, but not delicious or even well executed. Here are a few highlights from our visit: --Free classic arcade games were a lot of fun, and makes it easy to bring kids here. --The menu is not easy to read. I still don't know if calling something "epic" means it is better, different or bigger. --Drinks were pretty good, and we liked the way the orange liqueur floaters were delivered in their own skull-themed shot glass. --The tacos were so-so. Chicken taco came out ice-cold, and the steak taco was a fatty mess. I recommend the "smoke show" pulled pork taco, that was pretty good. Overall, there is so much cheese, crema and other toppings that you lost track of what the meat was supposed to be. --The salad had cheese when we asked for no cheese, and the chicken on the salad was missing entirely.--The ghost pepper salsa was a real highlight. I would come back here just for this and take containers of it to-go as often as I could. One last note: We were over-charged a round of drinks; it was fixed, but worth paying attention to.

Always a win here! Brought my mom and grandma here first lunch on a Saturday. Rob greeted us quickly and was so friendly. My mom and I opted for our usual, the swipe right and always the elote for the table. My grandma ordered a kids hamburger and fries. The decor is so festive and lifts your spirits as soon as you walk in. The patio is the best in warmer weather.

This is just an update. Food is still great. This time around, we were seated on the other side of the building. The room is packed with free arcade games. Got my pac-man game in while waiting on my meal. Loved the hip hop music that they were playing. It was a full house like expected but we got there within a good time, didn't have to wait at all for a table.

Tacos and Whiskeys !!We stopped into Agave and Rye for some tacos and drinks while we were in the area. We sat outside on the patio with tables and umbrellas to block the sun on a warm sunny day. Our server was attentive and we got our drinks and food fairly quickly as the restaurant started filling up with more guests for lunch. I ordered one of my favourites, the Birria with slow-braised beef sprinkled with guajillo chillies, Oaxaca cheese, cilantro, onion, and dipping consommé. The tacos were more filling than they looked and the tender braised beef was delicious. We washed down our lunch with some drinks and then went on our way to our next adventure. Agave and Rye not only has a great menu but a wide array of libations to cater to any crowd.

Pros: a lot of unique options. Not your traditional fair. The latte is probably the best item on the menu. A little spicy for those who are sensitive to heat. The Crown jewel which is macaroni and cheese and lobster was delicious but a little on the heavy side.Cons: the wait staff here, including bartenders are absolutely horrendous. A few weeks ago, we sat at the bar and the bartender literally acted like we were bothering her. We went this past weekend with friends, and our waiter was awful. We had to get his attention to order a second round of drinks and when we were finished and he asked us if we were all set, we said yes, and he just walked away. Rather than clearing the plates from our table, we sat with dirty dishes in front of our table until we flagged him down again to ask for our checks. Waiting at least 10 minutes to pay our bills. We ended up walking to the bar to pay them ourselves because he never came back to take our credit cards. We were a small group of 4. I can't imagine how long it would take to get anything with a larger group. If you don't mind terrible service, the food is pretty good.

The Food is great and the selection of Taco's are awesome. The margaritas are the best and if you don't like sugar or salt try the Tajin it's a spicy addition. Service is epic and the Ambiance is eclectic and the music is great.
