Agave Grill

Came here tonight & tried the street tacos (again).

The beef is fresh and the sauce is slightly sweet and almost bbq flavored. The tomato's on the taco are fresh (I actually think it's pico) & I devoured both tacos without much conversation.

We munched through all of the chips pretty darn quick! The salsa isn't too spicy but is is fresh and almost tender (I think that's the word I wanna use)... the chips were super crunchy & I love that... sometimes you go somewhere and they're stale & this just wasn't like that.

The service was quick & our server was super attentive.

The music was loud .. that was maybe my only complaint but there was a big group there of ten and that's the one thing that I would add back!! Good for groups!

This was my second time here and I'd absolutely be back!!!

Amazing place in Hartford Downtown, next to the Hartford Tavern. Got to try the tacos.  Service was very attentive and friendly, our waiter had a lot of knowledge on the dishes and gave some good recommendations.

We had our family and we tried

1.Taquitos
2. Chicken Adobo Burrito
3. Agave street tacos
4. Crispy fish tacos
5. Shrimp tacos and
6. Churros for desert.
Everything was great and delicious. Portions were huge for the price.
Highly recommend the street tacos and the crispy fish tacos.

The place has a bar and is a slightly smaller place compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area. But for the location it is of a decent size.

Highly recommend if you are in the mood for Mexican food.

Cute little spot with a nice bar. Quite a drink menu, too! Traveling and just happened upon the spot. Really delightful. Very small location. Cute bar. Had great service and the staff was knowledgeable. Would definitely make this a regular in my rotation if it were in my hometown.

We stopped in to get a quick bite before setting a show. We sat in the bar area and were quickly taken cared of. I ordered the steak quesadillas and my girlfriend ordered the chorizo taco served with rice and beans. The steak quesadilla was really good and tasty. My girlfriend enjoyed her taco. It was quick and good.

Agave Grill in Hartford, CT is located downtown on the corner of Ann Ucelo and Allyn Streets. This small, but vibrant restaurant offers a wide variety of authentic Mexican fare, alongside on EPIC specialty drink list. The portions are large and the staff is always upbeat, friendly, and professional.

One thing to note if you go with kids; though they DO NOT have a kids menu on their website or even in the restaurant, they do offer kid size portions of all dishes and of course have the classic go to; chicken fingers and french fries. The homemade guac is a must, and the Mango Habanero Wings, tho spicier than most places, are an awesome way to start your meal.

Pretty good place for appetizers and drinks. The drinks were strong so prepare accordingly. I got the guava sparkler and was very pleased.

I was however disappointed in the beef in my empanadas and beef tacos. Reminded me of Taco Bell meat. My chicken enchilada was meh at best. Rice was decent and the beans were standard.

However, the place is very cute and cozy on the inside. Staff was ok. We asked for extra salsa and did not get it but she was very friendly and patient with us constantly taking pictures and recording. It's in a great location near the XL center and Russian Lady night club.

Amazing empanadas and taquitos. I loved my guava margarita!! Their salsa is spectacular!

What a bummer to have to write this update. Let me start by saying the service was excellent and the place was extremely clean!

We ordered a pitcher of margaritas for the table which were just okay. We also ordered street corn for the table which was also, just okay. It looked pretty but was cold and lacked any flavor.

My entree was 2 hard shell, beef tacos with rice and refried beans. My rice and beans were cold, my taco shells turned mushy in minutes. The flavor of the tacos was good, but not like it used to be. I was disappointed to have to eat my tacos with a fork instead of my hands.

Sorry, Agave. Although food was flying out of the kitchen to keep up with the busy, busy restaurant, I just wish it tasted better.

Very vegetarian friendly Mexican restaurant.  We ordered the spinach quesadilla and the taco/enchilada combo plate.  The latter came with rice & beans, all vegetarian.  There were lots of thing to choose from.  

The atmosphere was pub-comfortable and the staff were friendly and attentive.  

They have flights of tequila. We didn't try them today, but will next time.

Wateriest drinks in town and their food prices are too high for what comes in a dish (2 tacos for $15)
