Sweet Agave Bar & Grill

We have not eaten at the restaurant, but the food is fantastic. We stopped to get 20 tacos for a small gathering and had a Margarita while waiting. I instantly regretted not staying, as the margaritas were excellent--one of the best I've had with fresh-squeezed lime juice. When we got home, we devoured the tacos. We will go back and spend more time there and definitely get more margaritas.

This is my new favorite restaurant for delicious Mexican food. I have enjoyed each visit here. My favorites on the menu are the Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos, Chorizo Tacos, Fried Yuca, Lomo Saltado, and the Chile Relleno Y Pork Enchilada. My recent favorite has been a special that's a ribeye steak and two shrimp, I just forgot what it's called. My friends and family have tried the fajitas and the Carmarones A La Diabla from what I can remember. Both looked amazing. The service has been solid most nights, and reservations are easy to make. The restaurant is narrow with a good number of TVs, so that could be good or bad depending on the type of environment you want. But one side of every table I have been there are seats that don't face a TV. There is some outdoor seating as well. Parking has been easy for the most part, especially on MacArthur Blvd.

Love Sweet Agave for their happy hour menu prices!!! 4-6p everyday. Best in the dc area hands down. My coworkers and I go here at least once a week after work to unwind. I like that they don't charge extra for their flavor margaritas. As far as dessert goes, I highly recommend their sopaipillas. So soft, warm, and delicious. Every calorie is worth it.

Cute establishment sitting on MacArthur Boulevard in the Palisades neighborhood, serving tasty and well prepared Tex Mex dishes. My dinner partner and I both got different versions of their enchiladas (carnitas pork for me, chicken poblano for him) and loved both of them!Interiors is decorated on theme, towards the back of the restaurant is a TV hanging from the ceiling (this can be a bit distracting for whomever is seated facing the back just FYI). Only negative comment I have is that we were seated in a little booth just by the kitchen doors and the vent immediately above us kept dropping water onto the table (including right onto our chips! ) Solved this by moving our dishes away from where the water kept dropping but if you sit in that booth, keep a sharp eye!Will definitely return.

This is an excellent Mexican food place, I had the taco al Pastor, they were very good, I also had the fried yuca with a dipping sauce, both were excellent too. The service was also very good, they checked and brought water several times.

Easy five stars for sweet agave- I read all the reviews before coming and people had such positive things to say. I share in the sentiment, this is a cozy, welcoming, neighborhood spot. The service was great as were the food and drinks, I came in with a large group but we were well taken care of and everyone enjoyed their food. I had the tamales for an entree but the best thing we ate was the queso with chorizo. The dips were a hit with the whole table. Also impressive options for margaritas- I got guava which I love and lots of places don't have. This is a great Mexican spot and I'd definitely recommend coming here!

Good food, Friendly place; Very Good Service. Nice outside seating (was there on an unseasonably nice early spring day that enhanced the ambiance. Great neighborhood place that I'll gladly go back to.

The locals love this place, and it's easy to understand why:The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly.Speaking of friendly, the restaurant is very family-friendly.

This is one of the best Tex Mex restaurants I've ever been to. Everything is always as or better than expected. Becky and crew do an excellent job both in front and in the back. They do get busy, but it's great to take it all in if you're not in a hurry.

Weekday lunch. Not crowded; nice and quiet. Chips & salsa are perfect . We added guacamole, which was OK . Full rack of pork ribs (Costillas) with dry rub and mole sauce with sides of Mexican rice and pinto beans for me. Burrito bowl for señora . Nom nom. Add a few minutes to find parking in advance.
