El Agave Restaurant & Tequileria

This is Mexican Nouvelle Cuisine, and the very first thing draws my attention is their glass shelves and the beautiful lighting shining around the bottles. This place uses various styles of the plates, glasses and bowls to present dishes. I liked my fish taco while the soup is okay. We refilled the salsa verde sauce. Hope to come back again.

Absolutely amazing! Definitely worth the visit. We learned about it on the trolly tour and decided we had to try it. It was our last trip to San Diego after a month of weekly trips for my dogs for Radiation Therapy. We decided to celebrate her graduating from radiation therapy and came here. They were so kind and accommodated us by letting the dogs dine with us on the patio. The Tequila flight was amazing. Our waiter recommended the $26 one, for $6 more it was well worth it. The margaritas were delicious as was the food. Definitely an experience everyone should try. It is a bit of a walk from Old Town but very much worth it. Plus it gives you a chance to walk off your buzz and some of the the calories lol. You can also walk around the restaurant and look at all the amazing bottles of tequila they have.

Drinks are good, got a pasión fruit margarita and it’s was exquisite. I ordered chicken enchiladas don Julio, delicious 😋😋😋. We waited for the food for over 30 min and it wasn’t busy. Be prepared to wait longer if you come for dinner. We got chips and salsa twice that was the key to have patience to get your main entree. Overall I gave them 4 out of 5starts because of the wait

Wasn't intending on having lunch here, but extremely happy to have found El Agave. The place I wanted down the road was reservations only, and I didn't realize until my Uber dropped us off couple blocks away. El Agave reviews looked great so it was a reasonable choice to walk to. The atmosphere was wonderful. Our server very personable and attentive. Food arrived and I was elated. Fish tacos and salsas were perfect. Overall great experience and I'd return to try more items on their menu.

My waiter was amazing, ( Estaban) from the moment I arrived they set up my table and took care of me by the bar. My family arrived and I was sited, no waiting time. All the food was a 10 the drinks were just perfect and the atmosphere was a 5 star. I will give this place a 10 of 10 I’m making this restaurant my favorite spot for the future.

10/10 Wonderful! Excellent service. Beautiful location in Old Town. A diamond in the rough. The selfish person inside me wants to keep this a secret to myself but it's so good I had to share with her world. Our food was amazing. Chips and salsa were complimentary. Their Ceviche Trio was so fresh and quality. I absolutely loved it. Their flan de cajeta (caramel) was out of this world. I mean probably the best I've had. I had to eat it as slowly as I could I savor each bite. Wow. I'm already looking forward to returning and trying other items on their menu.

El Agave is a place that you need to make a reservation at if you want to not sit in the hallway. Just got in with some coworkers for business and wanted a good meal and this place did not disappoint. The complimentary salsa and chips are good and even have some beans with them. The octopus here is fork tender and wonderful to eat as we got the appetizer of it. It reminded me of the octopus I had in Mexico City at an upscale restaurant I ate at when down there. Very flavorful and the potato all with a spicy oil sauce over it went very well together. My coworkers did the mole dish which they liked but we're a little disappointed with. My beef filet tacos with bone marrow were amazing and would order again. Other than having to sit by the door it is a place I would eat at again if not often when in the area.
