Blue Agave Street Tacos And Margaritas

First time at Blue Agave Street Tacos and Margaritas and it was excellent! Very neat indoor environment as well as a fun and inviting atmosphere outside. Excellent service and food. They have a large variety of margaritas on the menu. Tried the jalapeno margarita and then ordered the margarita flight. Will definitely be back for more excellent food and drinks!

Great dinner spot with amazing vibes! We had dinner on the patio at Blue Agave and absolutely loved it. The drinks were massive, fun, and packed with flavor—garnished with fruit and umbrellas that made them stand out. Chips, salsa, and guac were super fresh and tasty. The menu is huge with tons of options, especially if you love Mexican food and seafood. Everything we tried was delicious, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere was relaxed but lively, and the “Good Vibes Only” sign said it all. Perfect place to enjoy dinner with friends or family. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Food was excellent and staff were very friendly. Loved the outdoor patio. I ordered the burrito azteca and a Miami Vice, which were both a delight. Wife ordered the regular street tacos. They were good, but my burrito was better :) I’d definitely come back again.

Such great Mexican food. The best margaritas. They have a new banana margarita that is amazing. We had BBQ tacos and Al Pastor. They were both great. Loved the atmosphere. The patio was open.

Really cool decor. The artwork is amazing! The food is quite flavorful. And the food was brought out in a very timely manner.

3.5* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 2* Value: 3* Service: 4* 3/10/2023 Stopped here again with our son and daughter-in-law and this time sat on the West side of the restaurant near the garage doors that open to the outside when it is warm. The food was once again very good, but the music was WAY too loud - we felt like we were shouting just to try and converse at the table - so dropped the Atmosphere rating to a 2*. Also, due primarily to how busy they were, the service wasn't nearly as good / prompt as in previous visits, so dropped to a 4*. For dinner, I ordered the Spicy Tortilla Soup (see picture) and thought it tasted very good, with a nice kick. My wife ordered the Fajitas Shrimp (see picture) and also liked it a lot - be aware that it is a very large portion, with almost enough food for 2 people on this plate. While the food was still very good, I hesitate to return given the uncomfortable volume of the music in the dining area. 4.5* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 3* Service: 5* 01/07/2023 My wife and I stopped here for dinner last night after I enjoyed a Mezcal Paloma with a friend during an earlier visit. As was my experience during the earlier stop, everything about this place is great and it now is a contender for our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. My only concern is the value, as they carry downtown pricing, especially on the drinks (my Mezcal Paloma was $15). Drinks: I ordered a Mezcal Paloma (see picture) and my wife ordered a Pineapple Habanero Margarita (see picture). Both of them were absolutely delicious and were large enough that we each only needed 1. Food: The chips and salsa (see picture) were also delicious (we always overeat on chips and this was definitely no exception...). She asked if I would like Guacamole (see picture), so I ordered and it was great...but was charged $6, so be forewarned that it isn't complementary. I ordered the Tinga Tacos (street tacos - see picture) and my wife ordered a Chicken Bowl (see picture). Both of them were delicious and I would recommend both - the shredded chicken in the Tinga Tacos was a little dry / tough, but I almost expect that with shredded chicken. Overall, this place has probably the best Atmosphere of any Mexican Restaurant in the Des Moines area and the food is very good, so I don't hesitate to recommend it for anyone to try. My only concern as I mentioned earlier is that the pricing is a little steep, especially on their cocktails. If you are ok with high priced cocktails or are coming only for the food...this is a 5* in my opinion. If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

Great dinner with fresh, delicious food and wonderful salsa and chips. We enjoyed a margarita flight and when they accidently brought a wrong flavor they brought out the correct one at no cost- bonus!
