My wife and I were really looking forward to checking out this trendy Mexican restaurant we'd heard so much about. Sadly, it turned out to be a one-and-done visit for us. To be fair, we might have caught them on an off night—the place felt unusually quiet and slow. Still, it took over an hour to get our food, even with very few tables occupied. My beef burrito arrived as tender shredded pot roast wrapped in a tortilla, served with a side of au jus for dipping. It was decent but didn't quite hit the mark for what I expected from a "beef burrito." My wife's "carne asada" tacos were similarly disappointing—they looked and tasted like the same cut-up pot roast rather than the grilled, marinated steak that's classic for carne asada. The flavors just felt off from authentic Mexican preparations. On the bright side, the margaritas were outstanding—strong, well-balanced, and refreshing—and we loved the modern, contemporary vibe of the place. It has real potential in the atmosphere department. All in all, two margaritas, a soda, the burrito, a side of rice, and the tacos came to about $80 before tip. For that price, we'd hoped for more consistent execution on the food. Hopefully, it was just an unusually rough evening—we won't be rushing back, but we wish them the best!

It was our first time here, As we walked and we was greeted by happy guests and also staff Erin became our server. She told us immediately where the restrooms were at and if we liked that where we were sitting in it, and I said it was great cause it was by the window she then showed us a few pictures and she was great at serving our table beautiful bright smile, and very knowledgeable of the food. She polite and always on the go and always came around if we needed anything else thank you very Agave and Rye And thank you very much, Erin

Charnae was a wonderful server, very friendly and helpful. Truly loved her energy. The atmosphere was very fun and I found myself dancing in my chair to the music that was playing in the background. The food was very good, chips and two tacos was plenty for me. Quac tasted super fresh. For tacos I got The Becky and The Swipe Right, loved them both.

This was my first time in this location, I sat at the bar and Mitch immediately greeted me even though he was super busy. He let me know he would be right with me. The service was exceptional. Everything he recommended was delicious. I will be back just because he made my dining experience so great! And my margarita was also just how I like it! Thanks Mitch!

Popped into Agave & Rye on a Browns game day. Great deal with $3 domestics. My buddy and I just had a couple brews and then we each got a side of Mac n cheese to get something in the system. They used bigger shells for noodles. Solid Mac n cheese nothing to write home about but it’s a taco joint so no worries. Staff was nice a little slow at times but no issues was decently busy. The place has a cool vibe and the art everywhere is a fun touch. Definitely worth popping in.
