Agave Bar & Grill

If you’re looking for a nice, authentic Mexican restaurant to enjoy a fun family night, look no further than Agave Bar and Grill in Carmel. Weather permitting, there’s outdoor dining to enjoy your food along the sidewalk and enjoy the scenes of Carmels Art District. Once inside, the quaint space is decorated by wall art by students from the local high school which adds a nice touch. The bar is fully stocked with your favorite tequilas, bourbons, cognacs and vodkas AND they’re not stingy with the alcohol on the drinks! When it came to the food I enjoyed the sopes, tacos and chips & salsa. I was asked if I liked my salsa hot and it was so bold and flavorful. The owner Cindy, even was helping her staff prepare food and drinks which shows great leadership from the top. I highly recommend going and when you visit, tell them your favorite #travelingfoodieguyde @zonedoutmarkiss sent you and tag me in the pics :)

This was the worse dinner experience I have ever had. We never even received the drink we ordered. Our food took a while to come to us. People who ordered after us received their food before us. We are not coming back.

Really overall was good. I just thought our waitress could have checked in a little more, but she seemed to be only one there, this afternoon, she did get us seated, drinks and chips, & orders taken promptly. Salsa was best I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. Food was amazing! Would definitely go back! Really nice outside seating. We chose to eat in, nice and clean inside. We ordered from the lunch menu and amount of food for the money was great value!
