First time eating at Agave and we were impressed! Delicious food, friendly servers and nice atmosphere! They had no issue with our use of a reusable container (tiffin) to bring home our desserts but do wish they would skip the straws!
We came here as a family, brought my two girls (11,8). Ordered the nachos as a gauge and thy did not disappoint. Light and fresh. Figured couldn’t not go wrong on the rest of the menu. The birria tacos were inhaled. The ramen is the best item on the menu. Broth was incredible and eggs were a fabulous add. Fried ice cream was massive and nothing left. I also ordered the agave margarita with tajin and it was delicious if were ever in the area would definitely go back.
I've been to Agave twice since it opened a few weeks ago and both times were great! My favorites so far are anything with shrimp in it, I don't even usually love shrimp, but the shrimp here are really full of flavor and good texture. Today I got the ramen and loved the juicy broth with fried mushrooms. It also had roasted chicken, an egg, half a corn, and some greens in addition to the yummy noodles.
Really great, and well priced, offerings. Good for both vegetarians and non vegetarians. The non alcoholic drinks were as good as the alcoholic cocktails. Service was very fast and friendly. Would definitely come back!
This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to. Their food and beverages are appetizing and beautifully garnished. I had their pollo bowl with the nojito mocktail and I was very pleased. The dish exhibited a lovely blend of fresh Hispanic and even Asian flavors. The drink had a minty, tart but sweet taste which I enjoyed. The staff were incredibly sweet and accommodating. Overall, I highly recommend dining at this gem in the heart of New Paltz and I will be coming back!
To say this is the BEST Mexican food I've had in a while is an understatement! Not only is the food delicious and fresh, but it also tastes very authentic. Why spend +$20 at Chipotle when Agave exists? I seriously could not believe the 4.8 stars but this place deserves even more. The atmosphere is super chic, the service is impeccable, and the food is worth every single penny. Kudos to Agave for hitting it out of the park, and I wish you many years of prosperity!
There are several great Mexican restaurants in new paltz, and they are each quite distinct. Depending on what we are in the mood for, we choose one over the other. Agave is our favorite restaurant for birria tacos and pineapple upside down cake. In fact, this is the best upside down cake I’ve ever had. My husband has been sampling birria tacos all over town and likes these the best. We’ve also enjoyed carnitas, tamales street corn and shrimp tacos on previous visits. The young staff has a family feeling. Very friendly. There are many margaritas and mocktails to choose from. Mexican love songs are playing while you dine.
Had a wonderful lunch today at Agave! The service was absolutely amazing, so friendly! Really enjoyed the food and drinks. The chips and guacamole were so good I forgot to take a picture. Loved the vegetarian options such as street corn and cauliflower bowl. I will be back!
Pretty nice spot. We came here after a friend of ours got engaged. It’s a nice atmosphere and the service was great. Our favorite dish was the loaded Yuka fries. Honestly my wife and I would just come back for that and a couple of drinks 😎 Nice area to hang around afterwards. Might have to drive around for parking but not too far off.
Loved our empanadas,nachos, and cocktails. The NA beverage selection was also appreciated. The star of the show was the lemon blueberry cake for dessert. The decor and service were great complements to the delicious fare.
