    I had only been here for drinks but we checked it out for dinner and it was delicious! It was a busy Friday night but we were accommodated quickly. Starter chips and salsa are great. A few delicious margaritas later I had a taco salad with blackened shrimp. Very flavorful and cooked to perfection.

    Stumbled upon this place on a late Saturday night where most other places required a reservation, Blue Agave did not. The restaurant was full & the crowd was diverse. The food was good & well prepared. The staff was friendly & made great recommendations. I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

    Took my parents for brunch and it was a decent spot. Our server was great and the manager was really nice making sure all tables were okay. They have some of the best chilaquiles I’ve had in the area! Love their green sauce and they’re so tasty and not spicy. I had their tres leches pancakes and they were delicious! My parents told me their meals were great so I guess we’ll be coming back!

    Blue Agave is an iconic Federal Hill hangout. 3 outside tables. Lots of inside seating. Bar and tables. Service is excellent. Food is good. Price is more expensive than other Mexican places. Free nachos and salsa (mostly mild but you can add some hot sauce). Street parking isn’t easy but isn’t impossible. Highly recommend.

    Olivia was our waiter and she did a good job. Food was delicious, it just took awhile to come out. But worth the wait! The habanero wings crispy was to die for. Will definitely be back.

    The food was the best I had in Baltimore. Blue Agave concluded my road trip perfectly. Try the food, stay and eat the food, pass out while getting taste overload with the food. Alyzae made sure we was taken care of, she was attentive and kind beyond words! Make sure you tip her well!! Thank you Blue...be back soon.

    Blue Agave is a great neighborhood spot, especially during happy hour. The complimentary chips are fantastic. The salsas definitely require you to doctor them up with lots of hot sauce, but they taste amazing after you do. Happy hour tacos are served on flour tortillas not corn, but the amount of meat filling is very generous, and there is plenty of freshness to make the first bite as good as the last. The margaritas here are very solid as well. The fact that they have Modelo Negra on draft is 🤌💋. Very satisfied with the offerings as well as the vibe at the bar.

    Dropped in on a late night tip and it surprised us bc we didn’t expect much from this bar. The tacos were good. The carne asada was just a little on the salty side but good. The soup was really good!! I love a thick tomato based soup. Came back for more of the soup the same week. This is a very straight forward Mexican food joint. Great food for what it’s worth.

    One of my partner and I’s favorite spots! The chips and salsa are always very good and the dinner and brunch options are very tasty! The open air ambience and decor really adds to the overall experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely Mexican restaurant.

    Eh, my breakfast burrito was really mediocre. For one, I was expecting to be able to hold the burrito and eat it, but it was covered in sauce and kinda soggy. Once I was finished in the dining room, I went and sat at the bar. This is the reason I give this place 4 stars instead of 3. Emily is one of the best bartenders I have ever come across. Her personality is infectious and you can tell she loves her job. She was also responsible for the 90s/00s playlist and had Sunday brunch hour lit. She is the only reason I will give this place another chance!

    Came in since there was no wait and quite frankly completely empty but we are so glad we did. We ended up staying for about 3 hours with tequila specialist Hannah helping us out. She was fantastic. I had the best pancakes I’ve ever had in my life. Best brunch I’ve had in a long time! Will definitely be back!!

    Went here for the first time on New Year's Eve 2023 with a couple of friends. I actually liked this place, but they weren't too crazy about it, and my friend said his fajita dish was dry and not seasoned properly. My Burrito was fresh and tasty, though it could've been a lot more food inside of the burrito, especially for how much they charge for it. $25 for a burrito is wild! Lol. But I did enjoy it, their service was good, and I really like the ambiance and setup. This place wouldn't be my first choice, but I would definitely come back here.

    The food was good the drinks were even better, most people got safe choices like street corn or a taco, they really enjoyed it. Thanks for everything Claudia. There's no parking infront of the restaurant but there is a near by garage.

    I didn't realize this was on that busy Cross Street Market strip when I suggested to my friend that we eat here. The area is generally an overcrowded headache and coming to a busy Mexican sports bar only amplified it. Despite the crowd, the staff provides good attention and put us on a waitlist for 45 minutes that ended up being 20. The menu was limited in its vegetarian options and what I did get - the veggie burrito - was pretty bland. The horchata was excellent, though. Maybe it's better just for drinks and small bites, but it's unlikely I'd go back for a proper meal.

    This is a great place to have some Mexican food. I recommend the Carne Asada tacos were very good and so were the muscles. I didn’t care too much for the guacamole as it wasn’t chunky. My only real issue with this place is the 19% gratuity automatically added to the bill even if they informed you verbally and in writing. I was going to tip more but decided not to because of this.

    Went for happy hour and had a perfect taco Tuesday experience. The chicken and bean tacos were delicious but shrimp was our favorite. Our server, Julie, was so perfect - present just the right amount, super friendly and service was fast. I loved the sour margarita.
