Blue Agave Cantina - Houston

We had some reservations about visiting this restaurant due to the change in ownership, but I'm really pleased that we finally gave it a try. The food and drinks were outstanding. The chef, who personally walked around the dining area to converse with guests, clearly has a talent for using spices. I thoroughly enjoyed the ceviche, and even the drinks had a handcrafted quality to them. It's great to have such a fantastic Mexican restaurant in the neighborhood.

We are thrilled that we chose this restaurant! It was our first visit, and we were treated to exceptional fine dining service thanks to our server, Daniel. He was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our experience. The margaritas and food were outstanding. To our surprise, the executive chef—who is also the owner—stopped by our table to see how we were doing. We couldn't stop smiling during our time here, and even the food runner was very engaging. Thank you for the wonderful service; we will definitely be back!

The chips are thin and crispy, and I personally love the warm, smoky salsa. The restaurant is quite spacious, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. There aren't any waiting areas, but the terrace wraps around the north and east sides and has fans for comfort, as well as a small playground nearby for kids. The decor features beautiful large trees that enhance the ambiance. One downside is parking, as this gem is nestled among other fantastic restaurants, including an Irish pub and an Italian eatery. If you're planning to visit between 5 PM and 7:30 PM, be prepared to fight for a parking spot. Don’t be fooled by the margaritas; the parking lot is tight, so plan ahead! Both times I've visited, it was during the warmer months, and I really want to return when it's cooler so I can enjoy the spacious, beautiful terraces. I'm sure you'll love the whole experience, so what are you waiting for? Go check it out! (They even have table lights to help you read the menu better!)

Both visits were fantastic! The atmosphere is stunning, the service is excellent, and the margaritas are out of this world. The food is delicious! It's a bit pricier than your average Mexican restaurant, but it's worth it, especially with their happy hour specials. The chips are thin and crispy, and I particularly love that the salsa is warm and smoky. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. There are no long waits for tables. The outdoor terrace wraps around the north and east sides and features fans and a small playground for children, which is a nice touch. The entire space is beautifully adorned with large, decorative trees. Parking can be a challenge, as this hidden gem is located among other popular eateries, including an Irish pub, an Italian restaurant, and another well-known Mexican joint. During peak hours, especially between 5:00 PM and 7:30 PM, be prepared to search for a spot. Both times I visited, it was warm outside, but I look forward to returning when the weather cools down so I can enjoy the lovely terrace. I’m sure you’ll love the experience too, so don’t hesitate—go check it out! They even have table lamps to help you read the menu better. Enjoy!

I always look forward to visiting this restaurant. I've dined here for both lunch and dinner, and I'm consistently impressed with the food, service, and ambiance. During my most recent visit, the live music was particularly enjoyable.
