Review Blue Agave Restaurante Y Tequileria - Baltimore

Blue Agave is an iconic Federal Hill hangout. 3 outside tables. Lots of inside seating. Bar and tables. Service is excellent. Food is good. Price is more expensive than other Mexican places. Free nachos and salsa (mostly mild but you can add some hot sauce). Street parking isn’t easy but isn’t impossible. Highly recommend.

Came in since there was no wait and quite frankly completely empty but we are so glad we did. We ended up staying for about 3 hours with tequila specialist Hannah helping us out. She was fantastic. I had the best pancakes I’ve ever had in my life. Best brunch I’ve had in a long time! Will definitely be back!!

Blue Agave is a great neighborhood spot, especially during happy hour. The complimentary chips are fantastic. The salsas definitely require you to doctor them up with lots of hot sauce, but they taste amazing after you do. Happy hour tacos are served on flour tortillas not corn, but the amount of meat filling is very generous, and there is plenty of freshness to make the first bite as good as the last. The margaritas here are very solid as well. The fact that they have Modelo Negra on draft is 🤌💋. Very satisfied with the offerings as well as the vibe at the bar.

Four of us enjoyed dining at the Blue Agave Mexican Food on a Saturday night the second week of December. All got tacos that ranged from fried rock fish, fried avocado, mushroom and the house special. The three salsas that came with the freshly made tortilla chips were equally as good and our waitress refilled them twice without us even asking and she frequently checked on us.

This is a great place to have some Mexican food. I recommend the Carne Asada tacos were very good and so were the muscles. I didn’t care too much for the guacamole as it wasn’t chunky. My only real issue with this place is the 19% gratuity automatically added to the bill even if they informed you verbally and in writing. I was going to tip more but decided not to because of this.

Blue Agave has become our favorite spot in fed hill. Every time we've come, the staff has been phenomenal and the food equally amazing. The staff are such hard workers and have the best customer service. We will come back again and again! Absolutely love it here and the guavarita is delicious. I love it here!

Went for happy hour and had a perfect taco Tuesday experience. The chicken and bean tacos were delicious but shrimp was our favorite. Our server, Julie, was so perfect - present just the right amount, super friendly and service was fast. I loved the sour margarita.

Went here for the first time on New Year's Eve 2023 with a couple of friends. I actually liked this place, but they weren't too crazy about it, and my friend said his fajita dish was dry and not seasoned properly. My Burrito was fresh and tasty, though it could've been a lot more food inside of the burrito, especially for how much they charge for it. $25 for a burrito is wild! Lol. But I did enjoy it, their service was good, and I really like the ambiance and setup. This place wouldn't be my first choice, but I would definitely come back here.

The food was the best I had in Baltimore. Blue Agave concluded my road trip perfectly. Try the food, stay and eat the food, pass out while getting taste overload with the food. Alyzae made sure we was taken care of, she was attentive and kind beyond words! Make sure you tip her well!! Thank you Blue...be back soon.

We had shrimp adobo fajitas for 2pp..they were tasty delicious also we had grilled corn on the cob prepared with mayo and cheese it was amazing

Took my parents for brunch and it was a decent spot. Our server was great and the manager was really nice making sure all tables were okay. They have some of the best chilaquiles I’ve had in the area! Love their green sauce and they’re so tasty and not spicy. I had their tres leches pancakes and they were delicious! My parents told me their meals were great so I guess we’ll be coming back!

Been there twice, the food and service in excellent. I will definently be returning.

Went there for a random weekend and wanted mexican food. Google was very helpful to point me in the right direction. The quality of the food was perfect. The food was nice and hot and packing flavors. I also ordered the PAMA margarita 🍹 and it was made well. They were playing some music 🎶 and it made the ambient feel better. I definitely recommend this place overall.

Olivia was our waiter and she did a good job. Food was delicious, it just took awhile to come out. But worth the wait! The habanero wings crispy was to die for. Will definitely be back.

We had a lovely time at Blue Agave! I dont get out to this area very often so, this was my first time visiting. The dining room was roomy and well decorated. The traditional chips and salsa (!!) were there and tasted great. 3 really good options in the salsas. We ordered a pitcher of skinny margaritas and the first pitcher was really good, so we ordered a second. It was NOT as good... for some reason it was really bitter. But, ultimately, we did not return it or anything. Everyone really enjoyed their dinners. We went with some of the house favorites including the chile relleno and the Alambre burrito. I had the burrito and a side of the AMAZING mashed sweet potatoes. After a bit of rest, dessert for all. Two shared the flaming Sundae en Fuego and I had the smaller single serve fried ice cream. A really wonderful and filling meal. I hope to come back soon.

Dropped in on a late night tip and it surprised us bc we didn’t expect much from this bar. The tacos were good. The carne asada was just a little on the salty side but good. The soup was really good!! I love a thick tomato based soup. Came back for more of the soup the same week. This is a very straight forward Mexican food joint. Great food for what it’s worth.

Stumbled upon this place on a late Saturday night where most other places required a reservation, Blue Agave did not. The restaurant was full & the crowd was diverse. The food was good & well prepared. The staff was friendly & made great recommendations. I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

It was Father's day dinner. We chose to sit outside as the weather was pleasant. Loved the prompt service of nachos and the dips came with those. Our waitress was very nice and was patient with our orders. We tried Ceviche for the first time and loved it. Tamale and fajitas all were good except the beef one. The beef was chewy and did not taste good. Otherwise it was a beautiful experience.

I had only been here for drinks but we checked it out for dinner and it was delicious! It was a busy Friday night but we were accommodated quickly. Starter chips and salsa are great. A few delicious margaritas later I had a taco salad with blackened shrimp. Very flavorful and cooked to perfection.

This place is amazing. The tequila selection is top notch as is the food. You won't be disappointed. And the staff here is super friendly and knowledgeable.

Awesome! I could end this review right there, and have every category covered... But I'll go more in depth. Best happy hour in Baltimore, hands down! Margaritas were fabulous. I got the spicy margarita. It was strong, balanced and well prepared. After the complementary chips and salsa we tried three dif types of tacos. The steak, avocado, and shrimp tacos. Each one exploding with flavor. As far as the bar staff went. Wow they were on point. My girlfriend and I were served by Nikki and Larry at the bar. Not only were they Fast and attentive, but entertaining as well. As we moved to a high top table we also had a great waitress continue our night. He talked us through the vast tequila selection and found a shot that was just perfect. It was the Milagro select anejo. I think his name was pablo. All and all a perfect visit to a federal hill institution.

I’ve been here quite a few times. Atmosphere is great, all of the staff seems to always be in a wonderful mood. They are friendly and welcoming. Spicy Guavaritas are delightful and at a great price during Happy Hour. Everything I’ve ordered from their menu has been nothing but delicious food. Love this place.

Great selection of tequila and very nice food (huge number of choices). Christian, our server, was great - attentive, informative, and efficient. A very nice guy. The lamb flautas were delicious, as was the guacamole. Highly recommended.

Great food, the menu is a perfect mix of authentic and innovative! The guacamole is served in these little molcajete looking dishes...so cool! I think between me and my girlfriend we have tried every different kind of margarita and they're all AMAZING, especially the el jefe and the red pepper (she liked the pommagranite and a special drink they had called a Paloma). Dinner was amazing I had the lamb birria and she had the hibiscus enchiladas because she's a vegetarian and we both were extremely impressed. Finished up with some classic Mexican churros, simple but effective! Service was perfect, attentive but not overbearing, friendly and actually suggested the lamb in the first place, which along with not dropping out of school to become a circus performer, was one of the greatest decisions of my life. Decor was a 10/10 I felt like I was in a romantic comedy where all the restaurants are super cool and the music was great! At one point the owner came over and asked how everything was, which made us feel great because it was a very busy Friday night! We will definitely be going back again, and again, and again.

Absolutely a wonderful experience. I saw such positive reviews for this resturant, I had to give a try. One of my friends was celebrating a birthday, so I decided to make reservations. Everyone that I interacted with was great. I had balloons and a cake, and the two hostess worked with me to get the balloons to the table before the Birthday Lady was able to see. And get the cake to the back to bring out later. The bartender we had while waiting for the rest of our party at the bar was super busy, but you would have never known. She was awesome!!! And what can I say about our waitress, Kristin. Such a delete, sweet, and fabulous waitress. There were about 10 of us but you would have never known. Very attentive, personable, and a delight the entire night. You MUST go visit this place... the food and drinks were � . Flight 8 was my favorite!!! I'll definitely be back!!!

I love Mexican food!! I've eaten Mexican in restaurants all over the country and Blue Agave is one of the best! The Queso Fundito is a cheesy buttery meal in itself and the Pollo Tacos were delicious with very generous portions! The building is historic and has large windows that open out onto the sidewalk-I'm so glad we found this unique restaurant our first day in Baltimore!

The 3 sauces that came with the tortilla chips were tasty and unquie. I had ropa ieja tacos so delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was fun, funky. Definitely would eat here again

Ended up here with my husband my one son and his wife and another with his girlfriend after we were unable to get into another local restaurant. The wait staff was friendly, the food delicious all around. Great neighborhood feel and definitely worth a second visit at some point. Great way to spend an evening. My pomegranate margarita was delish!

The best steak burrito in this quadrant of the Milky Way. (Our galaxy, not the candy bar for you millennial's) Amazing creviche!

Great food and great service. The fried avacado and fish taco was to die for. Will return!

We came here for lunch and were rudely told we had 45 minutes to eat and then had to leave. There were whole bay leaves (not edible) crumpled up in the steak tacos we ordered and our waiter tried to tell us that he is unable to split the bill (because he did not feel like it). I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Awesome place if you love Mexican food. Great ambiance as well. I highly recommend it!

They have good vegetarian options but the food was bland. It was lacking flavor big time. It's a nice restaurant and the service was great but only if their entrees were desirable to my taste buds 😌

The pulled chicken tacos were awesome. Great margaritas. Excellent place to sit by one of the windows open to the sidewalk and savor the sultry heat on the July Fourth holiday.

Great food & drinks !! The happy hour is a great deal - well worth it !!

Great food. Awesome drinks and the staff were amazing. I will definitely be back!

Had a few moments and decided to stop in for a sangria. Very nice atmosphere. Great music Nice staff. Loved my window seat.

Wow, all i can say is that I loved it. Great food great atmosphere and I was satisfied

We went for the first time on Cinco de Mayo so, of course, it was crazy busy!! But the atmosphere was so much fun! All of the bartenders and waitstaff were running around but it was all smiles and laughing. The margaritas were spot on. We had the shrimp fajitas for two and they were divine!! Even though it was really crowded, the service was great. Highly, highly recommend! We will definitely be making a return trip!!

I’ve been here so much, they know me by name. If you want to go to a restaurant where the food and drinks are always of great portions and full of flavor, then here you are. <br/>If you are looking for a bar that has great tequila and good food, here you are again. <br/>The wings are by far THE BEST WINGS and I know some wings. They are fried, grilled and then tossed in a tangy bbq sauce and served with chipotle ranch. I always get two orders. I have to. <br/>The next best thing would have to be the tacos. Small and flavorful. The salsa they offer with the chips is what I put on mine(brown one is the best).<br/>I haven’t had a bad experience yet. I’ve been going there for 5 years and will continue to go there for many more!!

Haven't been there for dinner but continually come here for brunch and have never been disappointed. Food is great and the mixed drinks on the brunch menu are by far appropriate for the time of day and for the cuisine provided. The Mexican coffee is a big seller in my experience. A+ for brunch

Thought it would be better .. Food was decent but the margaritas sucked .. I ended up ordering a dirty martini thinking there is know way to mess that up and even that was disgusting plus it cost $12. I would go back for the food but wouldn't bother with drinks.

It was ok, should have been better. Went for restaurant week<br/>1st course: Octopus ceviche--could have had more octopus, nothing really stood out about this ceviche. <br/>Mexican Cream of Crab soup: Taste like a basic basic cream soup with a small dollop of crab meat, no crab flavor in soup, interesting.<br/>Squash Blossom, Spinach and Goat Cheese Quesadilla: Was missing ALOT of filling. Flavor was good but too much of the quesadilla was empty.<br/>2nd course: <br/>Sesame Chicken topped with Mole Poblano Served with cilantro lime rice and green beans : This was very tasty mole, the rice was not cilantro lime rice, it was more like a rice pilaf, and the green beans were aldente. This was very good. <br/><br/>Chorizo and Golden Raison Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Served with goat cheese mashed potatoes and squash. This was also very tasty, the favorite was th mashed potatoes. <br/><br/>Chipotle marinated Shrimp Tacos Served with agave rice and black beans <br/>This dish was served with cilantro lime rice--not much lime flavor and the cilantro was barely there. The tacos themselves did not have enough shrimp. The filling for the tacos was like a warm coleslaw, (cream based filling) and in a plain very plain white tortilla. I was expecting shrimp I could at least see in a fresh CORN tortilla. Black beans were bland. This dish was highly disappointing, <br/><br/>3rd COURSE: <br/>Banana Stuffed French Toast Served with Cajeta caramel, cinnamon whipped cream and candied walnuts. Very healthy portion and good flavor but not memorable<br/><br/>Coconut Tres Leches: very tasty and memorable. Three creams spooned over a very light, vanilla cake which appropriately absorbs the three creams. This was memorable and worth re-ordering. <br/><br/>Peach Empanadas Served with vanilla ice cream<br/>Disappointing. Once again missing the filling, do not think peaches were fresh when you could find them. <br/><br/>Overall would not return.

Awesome!. New ownership = amazing Mexican food! WIll definitely go back. I am super picky and this may have been the best Mexican I have ever had. Sangria was also great, usually not a huge Sangria fan.

SO GOOD!!!. Unbelievably delicious veggie burrito. I believe they marinate the vegetables before grilling them and rolling them up in the tortilla. The guacamole is FRESH, FRESH, FRESH and chunky, not that nasty, runny, metallic-tasting canned crap you get elsewhere. My man loved his fish tacos, too. <br/><br/>Our check for the two entrees plus a total of four drinks came to $84; we thought it was fair, all things considered. The only negative was the music: a little LOUD for a weeknight, but the yummy food and pleasant service easily made up for that. Very friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. Two thumbs up! We will go back the next time we visit B-more.

Best Mexican I've ever had. Hands down. Carne asada enchiladas and shrimp quesadillas are to die for. Above my normal price point but so worth it!

Horrible. The wife heard good things about this place so we figured we would come in for cinco. Atmosphere was nice and we were seated fairly quick so thumbs up on that. Wife wanted to drink so she ordered a 5$ margarita special, said it wasn't bad, then ordered a patron margarita @ 13$ and it was weak and watered down.<br/><br/>As for the food, this is a good place to take white people who don't know what mexican food is. I got the ceviche and it tasted like asian sweet and sour sauce with some shrimp and onion (they use papaya) So i wasn't too happy about this, the chips however were awesome (the best thing here) The wife ordered a sampler platter(we were going to base if we wanted dinner off the appetizers) Everything on here sucked, little taquitos from costco and a few other things, needless to say we didn't order dinner and didn't finish the sampler, But hey if you want to take friends to a "Classy" Version of Chevys or don pablos Feel free... Ill stick to my taquerias and other "Authentic places" oh our total bill was around 50$ go figure.<br/><br/><br/>Oh and the Chips, Really good, The 3 salsas they give you are all subpar, instead of focusing on 3 half ass'd salsas they could've just made 1 or 2 good ones...Nice try guys!

Food was okay. The "restaurant week menu" was actually pricier than ordering straight off the regular menu. The choice of three salsa with chips was a nice touch, but each salsa lacked taste. Our server was rarely seen except to stand around at the counter next to the kitchen. We each ordered the enchiladas, and it was a lot of food for the money. I would recommend trying this place at least once, but we certainly will not be back again for dinner.

Recently visited Blue Agave in Baltimore once again. They never fail to suprise me. They seem to have updated their menu, and specials quite a bit. Its a staple in Baltimore and there isn't another true mexican restaurant in Federal hill worthy of a visit. The food it authentic, the drinks and waitstaff are amazing. If you've been looking for a secretly great happy hour, look no further. A+++<br/><br/><br/>-----28 Nov, 2011-----<br/><br/>Recently visited Blue Agave in Baltimore once again.

Disappointed. On my last visit with my Groupon Coupon. I got the Mariscada. The portion size was disappointing and not at all like the photo on your website. Surprised that on a Saturday evening it wasn't more crowded. Something has changed

Mexican in Baltimore. Excellent Saturday evening dining. Good wait staff. Best chile relleno appetizer we have ever had! Superb carnetas with pickled veggies on the side that made it almost like North Carolina barbecue. This was our first time there. We will be back. Oh yes and the margaritas are phenomenal!

Great tequila list and margaritas with fresh lime juice! Food is good but not amazing.

Fine Dining Mex!. Everytime I come here it's a great experience. Great service, Great margaritas (kick ass 3+ shots), Great food! I've tried the Burrito de Carne Asada, the steak is so tender and spiced perfectly, the Carnitas better than the best pulled pork, nice and spicey corn cakes, and the Sopa de Elote is a great soup. I've never been disapointed.

As a Californian I have to say this is some of the best Mexican food I have had. Once you have one of their chilli rellanos all others will pale in comparison. Excellant service.

Good food & interesting ambiance. The mussels are a must!

Great Spanish Food. The atmosphere of this place is a little funky, but the food, drinks, and service is great if you like authentic Spanish food. Great date location.

When you ask someone to suggest a good Mexican restaurant in Fed Hill , the first place they usually mention is Blue Agave . Personally, I have no idea why because the food is nothing special and the management is horrible, there are definitely better places just down the street. But I have some friends who were craving Mexican food and Blue Agave  has $2 tacos during happy hour so my vote for better Mexican food  lost (places I prefer nearby, Banditos or Miguels ). We arrived at 6:30 and I had made a reservation on OpenTable. When we were seated we asked about the happy hour specials which it turns out, are only available at the bar. When we asked to be seated in the bar area, we were informed we would lose our OpenTable points. If the restaurant was busy and there was a wait I completely understand why the restaurant would not want to give us the points or the happy hour specials. The restaurant was mostly empty. The bar area was crowded, but the actual restaurant area had maybe 5 ta

Both the décor and atmosphere of the restaurant were enjoyable and immediately put me in the mood for south-of-the-border cuisine. 121

At some point we were going to have to review a Mexican restaurant. We'd been avoiding it because of my newly diagnosed stomach issues which included such orders from the doctors as "no spicy foods" and "for the love of GOD no spicy foods" and "You should

I had mixed feelings about Blue Agave. Some of the things that we tried were outstanding, while others were not favorites. One thing is for sure: the atmosphere, like a lot of Federal Hill's restaurants, is really nice. You get a mix of renovated rowhouse
