Our strategic partnership with local food and fish markets ensures that our chefs prepare each meal with the freshest ingredients-every single day.

Visited with the family for the first time. Waiting about 30 minutes ( they don’t take reservations). The “lobby” area is freezing cold - the normal seating area where you could wait is closed - presumably due to COVID. Masks required in Delaware again by the way. The food was pretty good, the service was ok. The restaurant is very loud. Definitely prefer the Lewes location.

Had a nice casual dinner at Agave. Had my favorite margarita (Jocelyn's marg) with dinner, and instead of my amazing espresso martini for dessert, tried a Mexican coffee. Oh my...a new favorite, just in time for the cold weather.

Lovely authentic Mexican restaurant in Lewes! The service was amazing and wait staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Not far from Rehoboth, highly recommend if you're in the area.

Fabulous time. We've tried to get in a few times but were always defeated by the wait time. It worked out well this time and we were rewarded with a great lunch. The empenadas were really good. Chips and salsa and quesadilla were good as well. But the drinks were the star. I've not had much experience with tequila but the staff were happy to provide info and make recommendations and they were wonderful. Wife had a wonderful sangria. Staff were great and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Service and food was exceptional. Cassie was an excellent bar tender/server. It was an excellent experience. Get there early or plan ahead because there could be a wait. Consider carrying out and dining on the beach if you don't have time to wait for a table.

We are on the hunt for a good Mexican restaurant...with good margaritas. Although they have many flavors of margaritas, I had two, and didn't really enjoy either, honestly. But the food, OMG. It was delicious. I had traditional chicken enchiladas, my wife had the enchiladas with mole sauce. They were excellent! No pintos though, only black beans.
They were a little crowded and service was just a bit slow, especially the bar. Drink wait time was a bit. But if you are looking for a good Mexican restaurant and the food is important, I recommend this one.

We visited Agave for the first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary. After our wait in town, we were lucky to be seated by the cozy, pillow-ladened “storefront windows” that bare it’s name. It felt special. The drinks were beautifully styled with citrus peels and mine with a sparkly-cladded glass rim of Tajin-looking redness. They were as beautifully presented as they tasted. My hubby had the Strawberry Mojito and I fashioned the Paloma. Neither drink disappointed as they kept our Mexican Rockets, (bacon-wrapped, chicken- stuffed jalapenos) company. The entrees were gourmet; Mexican

Took a family vacation trip to Lewes. Stumbled onto this place from good reviews and had to check it out. Excellent service, and you could tell right away it was popular by the crowd waiting for the place just to open. The food was great, and despite having celiac disease they catered well to me and my foodie needs. I did not leave hungry! (That’s for sure). My wife highly recommends the “tortilla puffs” shown in the image which came with our queso.
The homemade tortilla chips put fast food franchises to shame, though we hardy had enough room in our stomachs to eat them all. We got a guacamole

This place has great vibes! The margaritas are huge, strong and delicious. I always get the chips and queso, best way to start off the meal. My fish tacos were so good, and my partner said his burrito was awesome as well! They have some interesting menu choices for the more adventurous, and safer choices for the picky eaters. I love the style of this restaurant, even the bathroom had cool wallpaper. It’s always crowded so be prepared to wait if you arrive at a busy time!

The wait for a table was close to 2 hrs. Once we got that out of the way, the food, drinks and service were great!! A guac flight-😋. They were all SO delicious, I couldn’t choose a favorite and was glad for the option to choose 3 different ones. I has a cocktail with cantaloupe and cucumber which was smooth and so refreshing on a hot day. The entree selections are innovative and we all shared everything so we could enjoy to the max. Dillon, our server, was friendly, on point, and had great recommendations for us. We lacked for nothing!
