Agave | Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar — Restaurant in Healdsburg

Him how to start this review I had a very high expectations for the Mexican restaurant and when we arrived in Hillsboro we were expecting it to be in the queue part of town but it was actually in a Safeway strip mall so that that was a surprise but it was OK because when we got inside we thought that the atmosphere was quite authentic we went to Mexico recently and he reminded us of a Taqueria/Miss calorie are in Mexico so that was good. Now let’s talk about the service so when we got in we had to wait for a table even though I saw a couple saw a couple empty tables however it was OK because it was only a 15 minute wait but I was rather hungry because it was pretty late and we had been driving for a while so I just wanted to sit down but when we sat down they did give us chips and I thought the chips were fresh but they probably were just chips reheated so they’re OK they were chips and I ate a lot of the chips because the food service well let’s talk about the food service and the food service was slow I ordered Horchata and took a long time for them to fill the glass and I thought it would be bigger but then it wasn’t that big but it was good overall good that’s good because it took a long time for the food to come out so I just had for a bit. Yeah yeah I guess so we went so we waited 15 minutes to get a table that I drinks within five minutes or so but then we waited probably 30 minutes to get a food which is pretty long for what we wanted to just standard food when the food came out it was all right. But it price was probably 25-what the food was I got a fish taco and then it was covered and stuff but then when I dug around in my fish taco it turns out the fish was really small like if you think about the size of a taco and then you think about how much fish is on it it was probably like 1/8 of the taco was fish which is not that high when you’re paying like I’ll you know quite a bit of money for fish tacos to have an eighth of a tacos portion and then most of it was cabbage and pineapple so there was an a lot of fish on the fish taco it’s mostly just filler and then I also ordered the Malay which was good but the serving of the Molly was quite small and then it came with beans and rice and radish which was an ordinary nothing special and then they almost forgot my tortillas so I Saul the tortillas and I made eye contact with the tortillas but then they didn’t bring the tortillas right away I just was staring at the tortillas for like 10 minutes just looking at them knowing that they were mine but I didn’t have them on my table so I was tortilla less for sometime before the tortillas got to me. What else to say about this restaurant the decor decor was was good and there’s a lot of Mezcal however I didn’t have the Mezcal I had half of corona instead but the rim of the glass for the granite was too spicy so I couldn’t finish y’all I could taste was spice chili...

Delicious Oaxacan Food in Healdsburg

Agave is a family-owned Mexican restaurant and tequila bar in Healdsburg, CA, which we tried for the first time during our last visit. It is located in the Vineyard Plaza shopping center and offers an authentic taste of Oaxacan cuisine. The restaurant is known for its warm atmosphere, attentive service, and a menu that highlights traditional dishes with a contemporary twist.

One of the key attractions at Agave is their Mole Negro, which we did not try this time. We opted to start with a Guacamole Botana (Spanish for appetizer) and a couple of drinks. For the main dishes, we ordered the Carnitas plate and one of the special soups on the menu that day (I forgot the name). They were both delicious and flavorful.

The drink menu is equally impressive. They offer a wide selection of mezcals and tequilas. Their margaritas are a local favorite, so I went with one and was not disappointed. Additionally, the restaurant offers a good selection of local wines and beers that complement their food offerings​.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Our server was so helpful, her wonderful hospitality really enhanced our experience.

Although we sat outside, I went in to take a look inside. The setting is both cozy and lively, making it a great choice for both casual lunches and festive dinners. I really liked the decoration. It is very colorful and enjoyable.

Overall, Agave offered us a pleasant dining experience with its authentic cuisine, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere. If you are in Healdsburg, it is definitely worth a visit. We know we will be back...

Came here because all the reviews raved about it. Got seated right away. The chips and salsa was served right away. It took so long for us to get water, a cleaning lady eventually came over and asked us for water. The chips had no flavor. The bowls for salsa were so small that after two bites with chips you'd have to wait awhile for a refill. Took awhile for us to order. I ordered the taco salad, and asked what dressing it came with. The server had no idea and went to ask. She came back saying it came with none and said I could add some for an extra charge. I didn't want my salad dry so I said okay. When the salad came it came with stuff on it so I was charged extra for no reason. The tables were so close together inside that when a server went to give other tables food they'd bump ours constantly. Pretty loud in there and the music that was played way the same beat the whole time. It took so long for us to get the check. By thos time I was so ready to leave. Food was okay nothing super great. Would not be back if...
