Agave Mexican Grill & Cantina — Restaurant in Marlborough

We went there today, 8/9/25 @ 5pm, for dinner. They seated us right away. Their service was great, there was a wide selection of food at at a moderate price, a good selection of drinks and a sparse desert menu. The drinks and food came quickly. The food was nicely presented and tasted as good as it looked. The drinks were very weak for both standard mixed drinks as well as their margaritas and they were very expensive compared to all the other restaurants I've tried (my gin & tonic was $11 about $4 above norm. The house margaritas was $12, about normal, but very weak) . So only recommend sticking with soft drinks or beer. Most tables were in the open with very limited booths. We had a booth up front and it was pleasantly quite (no loud music or patrons) so we could enjoy our dinner conversation - until several tables were joined together beside us for a birthday party which was so loud that we couldn't talk any longer. If this noise wasn't now bad enough, they didn't have, or didn't turn on their air conditioning. One woman in our party began to feel faint from the heat and we had to leave. It was much cooler outside where we stood a talked for another 20 min. So, good food, good service, poor drinks, unacceptable physical atmosphere = first and last time eating...

Went tonight with my husband for the first time and we were not disappointed in the least…..10/10 recommend!!! I wasn’t sure what to expect since it had just opened last week but everything was amazing! We had the elote as an appetizer and it was very fresh, hot and great flavor. I loved the salsa for the chips as well! My husband ordered the Mojarra Embarazada and he absolutely loved it, he got refried beans as well and they had a great flavor! I ordered the Lomillo con Camarones and it was delicious-my steak was cooked exactly how I asked, the shrimp were big and fresh, everything was very flavorful. I tried a few of the different margaritas as well and they were all really good!! The food was amazing, presentation was excellent, huge drink and food menu-so much to choose from. I loved the decor and atmosphere in there-the servers were all very friendly and attentive and even gave us a small souvenir to take home when we left which I thought was super cute! We really enjoyed our time there and definitely can’t wait to go back and recommend to...

The chips and fresh salsa were served to us before we even settled in out seats! Bartender Clemente was fantastic! He made fabulous margaritas and recommended the Molcajete for one for my husband and me to split! It was excellent and more than enough for the two of us! It was a mix of chicken, steak, shrimp, chorizo, and onions in a deliciously brothy red ranchera sauce. The depth of flavor was incredible. Sides of rice, beans, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and guacamole were included.

A new family owned business next to Hannaford’s in Marlborough! One of the family members, Jr, let us try a taste of one of their signature Spicy Mango drinks and Clemente served a Green Tea Shooter with our bill. Normally not something either of us like, we were surprised at how bright and flavorful it was. We can’t say enough about this new restaurant! Finally!!! A Mexican restaurant in MetroWest worth...
