Agave Taqueria - Hartford

This establishment does not serve authentic Mexican food. I could easily recreate everything on the menu at home. The menu is quite limited, offering only basic dishes. My friend ordered a shrimp quesadilla, but the shrimp was just the small kind from a can. We also tried the taquitos, which tasted like the frozen ones you can buy at the grocery store, just deep-fried. Inside, they were orange/reddish and contained hardly any meat. True taquitos should have chicken, not just sauce. I had the pulled pork street tacos, which were decent, but I’m puzzled as to why each taco has two blue corn tortillas stacked together. Additionally, they only provide a single basic house salsa. If you request something spicier, they simply offer Tabasco sauce. On the positive side, the service was excellent and the house margaritas were tasty. If you're seeking authentic Mexican cuisine, this place is not for you. However, if you're just looking for drinks, it could be a decent choice.

Delicious food and drinks! Be sure to try the blue corn tortillas, agave tacos, corn appetizer, and even the salsa!

I discovered Agave Street Tacos thanks to a recommendation from the Food Network. The food arrived at my table quickly and was served hot alongside rice and beans. The beans were exceptionally flavorful, and the pulled pork was seasoned perfectly. Kenny, the owner, even stopped by my table to see how I was doing. It's great to support local businesses during these challenging times, and I assure you, you won't be disappointed. They also have outdoor seating available!

Ate happy hour food about an hour ago and it is no longer with me if you catch my drift. Ordered a happy hour margarita, calamari, empanadas, and corn. I think it was the calamari since it was mostly fried peppers. Thought it was indigestion and, as I am sitting at Trumbull Kitchen I ordered a ginger ale hoping it would pass. Nope. It full blown reversed course. I'm fine now, thanks for asking. That's how I know it was the food. Oh, and there was no ac in the restaurant except for near the bar area. But our server was nice.

Delicious food!! Wonderful service. I called to let them know my group of 8 would be arriving 20 min before the kitchen was closing and they assured me it was no problem. Batches of fresh tortilla chips and tasty salsa were waiting for us when we arrived. I ordered the street corn (best I've ever had! and the portabella and spinach quesadilla, unique offering and amazing taste. My friends were all happy with their meals. I am the only vegetarian in my group, my friends who ordered steak especially LOVED their food. It was impressive that the server asked for a temperature preference for the steak fajitas, I'm told that it is not a typical question. The spinach salad looked gorgeous. The tuna entree also looked wonderful. There were NO leftovers on the table!! Oh and they have pitchers of margaritas which was very fun.
