Agave Mexican Bistro — Restaurant in Mountain View

Great Mexican restaurant in downtown Sunnyvale serving authentic Mexican cuisine but what really stands out are the drinks. The margaritas are authentic, delicious, and unique. Plenty of outdoor seating on Castro Street.

[The Food] The food here is great for a Mexican restaurant. Competition is tough in the Bay Area, but I would give them a 8/10 for the food. It tastes real, but a little lacking in uniqueness and flavor. However, still very good. The prices are fair for the Bay Area.

[The Drinks] We frequently come here just for the drinks. They have Margaritas that don't taste watered down or artificial with a ton of sugar. I feel like they use real fruit, good tequila, and put care into their recipes. We were really impressed. They have these spicy margaritas which are amazing. One of them, they roast the Jalapeno's beforehand giving the drink a smoky flavor. The Guava Margarita is probably their best drink. Definitely worth stopping by and getting drunk here!

[The Location] Location here is right on Castro Street in downtown Mountain View, near the train station. They have lots of outdoor seating, restrooms available for customers, and fast service. I never felt like I was too close to anyone, and the sunshine was really nice.

Overall, a good Mexican restaurant with an amazing bar. Probably the best margaritas in the South Bay....

The staff was not only friendly but also knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations and accommodating our dietary preferences. Their attentiveness to detail and prompt service truly enhanced our overall enjoyment.

Now, let's talk about the food. The standout dish for me was undoubtedly the Steak taco. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the tender and juicy steak complemented by a medley of fresh ingredients. Each bite was a burst of culinary delight that left me craving more. The chefs certainly know their craft!

Additionally, I decided to substitute the side of rice with a salad, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and presentation. The salad was vibrant, consisting of crisp lettuce, colorful vegetables, and a tangy dressing that added a refreshing twist to the meal. It was the perfect accompaniment to the flavorful steak taco.

Overall, my dining experience at this restaurant was exceptional. The combination of warm customer service and delectable food left a lasting impression on me. I highly recommend there to anyone seeking a delightful culinary by attentive and...

I usually am really generous with my reviews but I couldn't help but give a 1 star review to this restaurant because of so many reasons. I ordered Tacos De La Calle from Agave for pickup. I looked at their Google menu and noticed that the cost for Tacos was $11 so I told my roommate to get me that (that was my mistake. I should have looked at the online menu on their website) and later found out that the cost of those 2 tacos was $18 + taxes. Because of the whole covid situation, I understand the reasoning behind the price hike (if that is the case) and I am totally fine with it but what bothers me is the fact that the food was sub-par (it may even be the most expensive and worst tacos I have ever had). Both tacos just had dry meat and lettuce in it and nothing else (no salsa, guac, dressing) and the size of the tacos was really disappointing as well. It came with a side of really salty chips and really salty and bitter green sauce (chilli Verde I believe). There was also rice and beans but rice was uncooked for most part.

I will not be coming back after...
