Meredith HarringtonAugust 23, 2018Had my first Tequila drink here at age 60! But the piece de resistance was the hot cocoa coffee with Tequila for an after dinner drink. Have never been able to duplicate!
Teresa StrahlmanJuly 4, 2014Love this place! The Chiles en Nogada are fantastic, love the corn on the cob. Everything is delicious! And that includes the margaritas and tequila flights! Be sure to have a designated driver! ;)
Tasteful TravelerMay 4, 2016Authentic tasting Mexican food, chiles en Nogales, mole sauce, street corn (elote), pomegranate margaritas all excellent, but service is usually terrible, and the wait for a table averages 1-2 hrs.
Steak quesadilla , guacamole sampler, mango salad are all great! Nothing bad here. Oh, and don’t forget the margaritas!!!- Ann PisanoJune 10, 2012If you're visiting Lewes or Rehoboth beach try Agave. I've been to other mexican restaurants but Agave is worth coming back to. Get the garlic pepper shrimp w/mango salsa or mahi mahi fish tacos. Yum!
SL MooreJuly 27, 2013Leave them your cell phone number and they will call you when a table is ready. You can shop locally while you wait. Don't be surprised when you hear there is a 2 hour wait. There really is!
Shawn HendersonAugust 29, 2014Save room for the coconut cake! Also, get the guac trio sampler and chicken stuff, bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers!
Lindsey TimbermanSeptember 24, 2012Don't know how, but we didn't have to wait! Shrimp and garlic guac is amazing. Tamales are beyond. Fish tacos rocked. Carmel apple tequila drink was perfect. Love it here.
Rachel GarciaFebruary 28, 2015The steak and blue cheese quesadillas will change your life. Yummy mahi mahi tacos as well. Incredible guacamole and fabulous margaritas. Worth the wait.
Becky WoodhouseSeptember 15, 2014Best Mexican I've had. Ever. And I lived in Texas. That's saying something.
Carl EricksonMay 27, 2011try the hot mexican rockets and the sweet heat drink. everything here was excellent including the staff. great eye candy. :-)- JaclynJuly 2, 2016Great food, not worth the long wait. But they have an upstairs bar that's pretty cool. Get the flavored guacs
Katy OJuly 10, 2011Best time to go (I've found is between 2-4pm) otherwise plan to wait. But perfect time to walk through Lewes. It IS worth the wait.
Kathy BohsApril 14, 2013Long wait...eat at bar great staff,good,fresh food.fajitas for 2 are Delish! Yummy sangria!
Chris HartmannJune 13, 2015Great margaritas and the food was amazing. Long wait to get in and slow service.
Amanda CarlsonAugust 22, 2014They don't take reservations and wait was 2.5 hours on a Thursday night. Well worth it though!
Sandra DiazAugust 18, 2012Guac is raging, sangrita (not sangria) is amazing and mole sauce is yummy!
LyndseyFebruary 16, 2013The white sangria is delicious! And make sure you get an order of "super" nachos.
Try the Red Sangria - the cinnamon really adds a wonderful, unexpected finish!
Fred MirandaJune 29, 2011The stacked chicken enchilada is beyond fantastic, but bring an appetite, it's also huge.
Cathy CauffmanMay 13, 2016This is one of the best meals that I have had at the beach! The margaritas are SO good. Be sure to get the Mexican Rockets appetizer too! The staff and the food are the BEST!
Kara BigelowMarch 10, 2012Try the $500 "Open Food" charge.... Stay too long w/o ordering dinner and you'll find out what I mean ;)
Dana RJune 26, 2010No highchairs. And they aren't able to serve the full menu on the back deck / upstairs part of the restaurant... it's getting very busy there. But go with small group / no kids and you'll be fine.
Guacamole here is to die for. Especially the gala apple one
- No kids menu. Margarita, fish tacos, guac, and surf & turf burritos are AWESOME!
Stephanie BottiMay 29, 2012I would to actually eat here. Made 3 attempts so far. Each time minimal 1 wait for a table with no room at the bar
Delaware Tourism OfficeMay 4, 2011Absolutely wonderful Mexican cuisine! The Margaritas are all the rage!
