Reviews

If you are looking for refined Mexican dining in SD, there is no better place than El Agave.
The location is not the best, it is on top of a liquor store, but the decor and the food are phenomenal.
The perfect balance of flavors, freshness and the presentation. The duck burrito is a must try, it is actually like having Peking Duck Mexican style and without the crispy fatty skin.
The mole flavor was intense and bold, the best quality of beef rib served warm, perfect temperature to enjoy the dish. This is definitely one is the best Mexican fine dining experiences we have had.

I’m quite the newb to Tequila, so I asked Fernando to take me through the journey of appreciating good Tequila.
I highly recommend asking for Fernando who took the time to explain the different drinks, understand my flavour profile and recommend drinks. The food also loves up to expectations.
THIS IS NOT A SHOT BAR!! Enjoy the company, great food and over 800 types of Tequila brands.
El Agave has a private collection of 3600 Tequila bottles

El Agave was both extremely impressive & unimpressive at the same time.
We called ahead & had a 5pm reservation.
We were seated quickly & brought water within minutes as well as chips & salsa.
The salsa was amazing & we actually went through two baskets of chips before ever being greeted by a waiter.
After sitting for 30+ minutes without a server, Javier came over and apologized for the wait then began taking our drink orders.
Cocktails were amazing albeit a bit pricey, I had a Colada & girlfriend had a watermelon margarita and we were both very happy with them.
For dinner I had the Shortrib & she had Mole, both were excellent.
We ordered dessert drinks which were also phenomenal.
However then we didn’t see our server for at least 15 minutes while the card was sitting on the end of the table.
When we did receive our bill, everything was on it & not another mention or apology for 45+ minutes of sitting there waiting.
Overall, food & drinks were excellent and this would have been a 5 star review if it wasn’t for the service or lack there of.
