| - I was v disappointed after my visit to Blue Agave, especially after reading all the hype on Yelp.
We went on a Tuesday night for dinner so it wasn't too busy and our party of 5 got seated right away. I'm not sure if our waitress was new but she barely knew the answer to any of our questions and seemed confused most of the time. For example, they had a BOGO deal of margaritas. We had 5 people so we ordered 6 margs. About a half hour or so later someone (not sure if he's the manager?) came and told us the BOGO is actually per person and the server misunderstood. Which all of us were like welp, we can't say no to more margaritas, so we'll get 6 more! They definitely tasted premixed and weren't anything too special but hey, it's a discounted margarita... Who am I to turn it down?
The tacos on the menu showed that they would bring out 3 tacos along with all the fixings, rice and beans. I asked the server if I could do 2 tacos instead of three (and after running to ask her manager), she said that was fine. I ordered 1 vegetarian and 1 grilled shrimp. After we put our orders in, our server came back to tell us they were out of chicken and could only fulfill one order with chicken in it. So most of our table had to adjust their meals accordingly.
Finally after a long wait, all of the meals came out at once, excluding mine. Mine came out maybe 5 minutes after everyone else's ... And it was just veggies on a tortilla and shrimp on a tortilla. And literally NOTHING ELSE. Other people with tacos got their side of rice/beans and all the fixings to on it. I ended up just using their salsas, onions, etc because I wasn't trying to wait even more to finally take a bite out of this already mediocre taco.
Overall, disappointing food and service. With all the other Mexican places near downtown, I don't think I'll be returning to this one.
