Best Restaurant in the Neighborhood!

by heather260

This is a great restaurant! I have eaten here on multiple occasions as it's in my neighborhood. Wow- I LOVE the guacamole, and I especially love the skirt steak. The service (something I have not commented on much in my other reviews) is outstanding every time- I don't know how they find such incredibly nice/efficient waiters. I went to one of their special tequila dinners (held monthly or quarterly)- the food was so tasty without being overly spicy.

• Pros: Service, guacamole, food
• Cons: parking can be a little trying

Great food, service and drinks

by michaelgchicago

Everything at Agave is first rate. The food is always wonderful, the service is always superb and the margaritas...straight up. The guacamole is great! Can't get much better than that. Head and shoulders above Frontera Grill.

• Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere, Drinks, Guacamole
• Cons: Non I can think of

Bright and upbeat Lincoln Avenue destination is all about the joys of tequila

In Short
A sleek blond bar with silver cabinets and niches holding exquisite bottles of top shelf tequila--over 50 brands are served--is flanked by a long row of high top tables and banquettes, with a giant portrait of Mexican cultural icon Frida Kahlo dominating a wall of colorful landscape paintings. From margaritas to mojitos to neat, the sophisticated enjoyment of tequila is encouraged, along with dining to a punchy Latin beat.
