    Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff, fast service and most importantly very delicious dishes. Everything was delicious and in good proportions. I will definitely bring family and friends here.

    Finally got to eat here and it was amazing. Food was delicious, drinks yumm. Came on a Sunday for lunch and was really happy it wasn't over crowded so the vibe was great; enjoy the music as well as my company. Our server was awesome. She recommended dishes and drinks and loved that she gave us her honest opinion on items so we could enjoy everything with no issues. Only problem was the host, she was a little rude when my guest were asking about my table but overall I would come back and recommend it to everyone

    The food is tasty and the ambiance is great as well. Not having to drive down to Miami for a good dining experience...the best. The pork belly entree is a must have and Omar made our visit better.

    We stopped at Agave Bandido for lunch while shopping at Pembroke Gardens mall. Meals were delicious and service was great. Outdoor area is nicely shaded and our waiter Shaun was pleasant, kind and attentive. Great place to stop for lunch and recharge while shopping!

    The drinks, amazing. The food, amazing. The service....i can't believe I'm saying this, but it was too fast! Didn't have enough time to finish first drink and get a buzz before the food came out. But it was delicious! Been here two times and both times i had a great experience. Definitely try the Bandito tacos, best bang for your buck, succulent and juicy.

    Absolutely loved this experience. My waitress, Natalie was awesome. I asked- what would you recommend. She said, do you like sweet, sour or spicy 🌶… She nailed everything. Ask for Natalie. She knows the menu. We will definitely be back 💕

    Agave Bandido is a hidden gem in the middle of Pembroke Pines! Amazing authentic Mexican food as well as incredible service. Perfect for a family dinner, date night or my favorite; ladies night!!! Ladies Night is everything and more than you are looking for without the crazy drive to downtown Fort Lauderdale! All the bartenders make it their goal to give you an experience worth coming back for! Check them out soon!

    Went on a Tuesday night, surprised at the fun vibe and the amount of people who were there. Felt like a Friday night! Ordered the chicken enchiladas and the fresh guacamole. Everything was delicious! Took my leftovers home and the guacamole held PERFECTLY green and fresh, and the enchiladas heated up nicely. Also had the passion fruit margarita and it was very light and refreshing.

    The vibe and atmosphere of the place is really nice , offering a relatively big outside seating area. The food was good but not the best mexican I’ve ever had. Our server Jose was really friendly and helpful. I would come back for the drink and atmosphere but not necessarily for the food.

    I had lunch here with a friend and we both enjoyed it. We ordered the classic margarita pitcher and got about 6 glasses out of it. For $48, that's a really good deal! I had the taco salad with chicken, and it was delicious. I recommend it if you're looking for a light, but tasty, option. Also, our server, Omar, was attentive and patient. We'll be back for the table side guacamole and another margarita pitcher soon!

    Our server Mara was EXCEPTIONAL! She gave us amazing suggestions for food and drinks. She took time to explain every drink and plate and we literally loved everything she recommended to us. She was super friendly and we will definitely be back for her service.

    I want to start off by saying 5 stars doesn’t do this place justice. I came for the first time and all I have to say is amazing all around. The food, the drinks, our waitress Natalie was absolutely on point. I have plans to return for my birthday. It’s been a while that I can honestly say, I found a treasure.

    6-10 Update: Really had an amazing time at Agave last night! Friends took me out for my birthday & we had a blast! We started with the delish homemade guac, had entrees (out of Tocino Mezcal)… I had my backup Pork Belly Tacos w Pineapple & we ordered the street corn for the table. The dessert was Tres Leches Cake (which I normally find cloyingly sweet) but their version was light & satisfying - and those churros made me happy to be alive 😃(true) - piping hot from the fryer. I probably should have passed on the gratis shot(s) of 1800 but, well, it’s my Birthday week. 🙏🏻Thanks Agave, service & food were TOP NOTCH! 😘 …now it’s time to get back in the gym! 🤣 Prior Review: Bored? Go to Agave Bandido it’s charismatic & engaging! The restaurant ambiance is colorful & eclectic, the food savory & satisfying, and the service is always kind & competent. (Not to mention the cool, outdoor seating with the hairy-looking cactus 🌞.) I’ve been here probably six times in the last few years & for some reason the visits are always a little different (which keeps me guessing in a good way…) but, the flavors & portions are always consistent which I look for. Also, I haven’t noticed a big price hike & shrinking portions (talking to u Cheesecake Factory & u Cooper’s Hawk 😂). Anyway, I love the pork options at Agave! Specifically the Pork Belly Tacos with pineapple & the Tocino Mezcal which I tried on my last visit; scrumptious!! (I don’t generally cook pork at home so it’s a welcome, very rich treat on occasion). To surmise, sometimes the music (around holiday time) can be a little too loud & the tacos not quite warm enough but the overall experience is always enjoyable! (PS bring back the pink holiday tree this Dec. please, missed it last year! ) Gotta LOVE this place, it has a lot of heart & soul. 💕 And, yes, when u visit, you should DEFINITELY order the table-side, freshly made guacamole!

    We had a party here and everyone had a great time. When you walk in the first thing you'll notice is the open space that goes from inside to outside. The design is very modern and the bar is amazing. The menu has a lot to offer and the food came out super fast. They have great appetizers and tasty tacos. They also have main entrees that give you plenty to eat. Everything I tasted was delicious and full of flavor. I ordered a taco combo that lets you try three different types of tacos. Finish it all off with a churro donut with ice cream. It was incredible. This was a great place for a big group.

    It was us 3 ladies who came for the first time . The service was wonderful. I had the shrimp burrito which was very satisfying. I drank the Tequila Pineapple Coconut it was good BUT it needed a little bit more Tequila 😀 I ❤️ the ART WORK as well!

    Excellent food and customer service We enjoyed the food, the music and the environment. We eat the fajitas with beef and nachos with chicken. Delicious! The drinks are good too. We will come back!

  • 3/5 Patricia G. 1 year ago on Google
    This establishment is not what I expected at all. The bar was OK. It was pretty packed for happy hour and the restaurant was not as clean as I would’ve anticipated. They did have some good specials for happy hour and the drinks were pretty good which is why I give it three stars. The menu was very selective and it was pretty small, considering the establishment and where it is also located. The waitress was not very attentive. We would have to flag her down. Several times my dish was not up to par nor was it what I ordered I feel it is extremely overpriced for what I had. I’m not sure that I would revisit this establishment based off of my experience tonight and the amount of money spend for the quality of the food.

    Brother and I went here for Taco Tuesday. We just sat by the bar. The bartender was very attentive. We were served quickly. The food was DELICIOUS.

    For the food you get. The price. The service and for the location, this place is awesome for a nice date . I'm a millennial south Floridian Cuban American and I think everything was so good! The only thing I would say is the drink are a bit sweeter for than my taste but that's preference. It feels well priced for the food you get and the current economy. MARA was our waitress and she was lovely! Everything inside is beautiful and clean and very artsy feeling. It feels like a wynwood experience but better space, parking, food and prices Really enjoyable experience for the everyday person Also! Even the to-go bags are personalized, the restaurant is someone's baby, and it shows they care. 💜

    Came in to catch up with my sisters for happy hour, was greeted by Leanne and she was an absolute pressure she understood the wait and even made conversation with me while I was waiting for them. Brandon is always extremely welcoming when I’ve visited this location. If you are looking for good tacos, amazing margaritas, and outstanding customer service you found the place!!! Cheers!

    This is a great place!!! Highly recommended. The service was exceptional, the food was varied and deserving of multiple trips. Price was average. Plenty of tables available even for big groups. The servers are attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. Plenty of parking available.

  • 5/5 Jeff M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great outdoor seating (great indoor seating, too)!!! Margaritas were the drink of choice last night and they did not disappoint! Table side guac was made to perfection - looked, smelled, and tastes great! Chips and salsa was on point and seasoned just right! Steak for the fajitas was a little tough as was the steak in the taco combo... but that was compensated for by our tremendous waitress and her impeccable service! Definitely going back!

    Came here on a Saturday at 2:45pm with my family to celebrate my Mother in law's birthday. The staff is friendly, the decor and art is interesting and cool and liens heavy on the dia del muerto theme, and the food and drinks are pretty good. I especially appreciate the menu which has traditional and creative options for both food and especially tequila based drinks.

  • 5/5 Jabari S. 6 months ago on Google
    Looking for Mexican restaurant to visit and came across Agave. First impressions that atmosphere at the restaurant is amazing. Vibrant and energetic. We ordered plenty of food shown in the photos. The chips n salsa was probably the best tasting chips and salsa I’ve ever had. Next we had the chicken flautas. That sauce that is on the flautas was so fantastic. It was perfect! Then we had the quesadilla, fajitas and tacos. All were great and delicious. I would go again just to have them!

    I’ve been to Agave twice now and have had a great experience on both occasions. Last night we were there for my wife’s birthday and Jaliyah was awesome. She was very helpful with all of our requests and it made the night easily enjoyable. The atmosphere and food were excellent. I will definitely be back again.
