Agave Mexican Restaurant

Agave in Rehoboth Beach is a standout spot, especially if you genuinely appreciate tequila and mezcal and not just overly sweet margaritas. Their tequila selection is deep and thoughtfully curated, ranging from crisp blancos to reposados, añejos, extra añejos, cristalinos, plus a solid mezcal lineup. It’s obvious the bar program is intentional and built by people who truly know agave spirits.

The La Casa margaritas are a must try. The version made with fresh orange and cristalino tequila is next level, smooth, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. It lets the tequila shine instead of masking it, which is rare and refreshing.

The food is just as impressive. Everything I’ve had has been excellent, but the surf and turf burrito and the blue cheese steak quesadilla are absolute standouts and worth ordering every time.

The atmosphere is clean, modern, and lively without feeling chaotic, and the staff is knowledgeable and happy to talk tequila if you’re into that. Whether you’re sipping something neat or pairing great food with a crafted margarita, Agave delivers. Easily one of the best spots in Rehoboth for agave lovers.

I read the reviews before we went and we had lower expectations based on that. I truly don’t know what people are complaining about it. It was ranked lower than some of other places we tried and those ended up being disappointing but this really exceeded our expectations.

Atmosphere. Beautiful well-decorated, thoughtful even down to the trash cans in the women’s bathrooms.

Food fantastic. I had the pull pork tacos and my husband husband and the shrimp street tacos. Both excellent. We had a guacamole sampler with the shrimp, apple and tomato garlic guacamole and we licked the bowls clean. Highly recommend. The drinks were also well made and tasty.

Others have commented on the price and I have to say for similar dishes it is a little on the pricey side for the food and drinks so keep that in mind.

Service was good. Our food was timed well and our waitress checked in with us regularly.

Overall we were really happy and arguably one of the best places we ate at on our trip so far. Get the guac sampler- it’s amazing!

So disappointed. I have been coming to this restaurant probably for at least 15 years. The quality of ingredients has always set them apart from every other Mexican restaurant and local restaurant, One of the items I normally order is the surf and turf burrito, but I get it in a bowl without the tortilla. For years it has always been filet and shrimp. Tonight it was not filet. I asked the person behind the bar because we were sitting at the bar and was told that it was skirt steak and it has always been skirt steak. I’m sorry, please do not insult my intelligence, I know what skirt steak is and I know what filet is and there is a tremendous difference. I understand that everything is getting more expensive, but it has always been the quality of the menu items that has drawn us here repeatedly. If it’s not going to be filet please specify it is not filet. Or provide an up charge amount. Please do not insult my intelligence because I know what I am eating. It wasn’t just the change of the ingredient, it was the way it was handled and the way that the staff made me feel. Not sure if I will ever go back again and that is very sad to say after all the years we have been patronizing this restaurant.
