" Our visit to Agave Bandido was quite delightful! The outdoor seating is perfect during the cool evenings, offering a lovely view of the water. Our server was attentive and made sure our orders were correct. I had the shrimp tacos, which were vibrant and fresh, though they could use a bit more spice. The churros for dessert were fantastic—light and perfectly sweet. We ended our meal at the speakeasy bar upstairs, which had a fun, intimate vibe. Overall, a great night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Agave Bandido is a hidden gem! I went for lunch with a group of friends to celebrate a special occasion, and we all loved it. The decor is colorful and lively, creating a festive vibe. The portion sizes were great; I couldn't finish my fajitas because they were so generous. The highlight for me was definitely the table-side guacamole, made fresh and delicious! I can't wait to return with my family; I know they'll enjoy it just as much as we did. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful dinner at Agave Bandido with my colleagues. The vibe was festive and welcoming. I ordered the burrito bowl, which was plentiful and packed with flavors. However, my friend ordered the tacos and found them somewhat bland. It’s great that they offer a wide variety on their menu, so everyone can find something they like. I look forward to bringing my family here as it seems perfect for casual yet fun dining! " (*Curated Review*)

I ordered the Birria tacos, and they were some of the best I've ever had—so flavorful and authentic! The service was exceptional as well; our server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. For dessert, we shared the churro ice cream sandwich, which was a perfect ending to our meal. I will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

The service was attentive, and our waitress helped us with menu choices. I ordered the shrimp fajitas which were delicious, though a bit on the greasy side. The highlight for me was the dessert: churros with ice cream were a must-try. All in all, a lovely dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Agave Bandido and it was an interesting experience. The atmosphere is vibrant, with a lovely view of the water. However, I found the service to be a bit slow, as it took quite a while for our drinks to arrive. When the food came, I was impressed with the presentation, though the carnitas did lack seasoning for my taste. It was still a decent meal, but I expected more given all the great reviews. I might come back for the drinks and the ambiance but will choose something else on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at Agave Bandido! I recently went for Taco Tuesday with some friends, and we had a blast! The deals were fantastic, and the tacos were incredible—definitely some of the best I've had! The ambiance was perfect, with great music that added to the lively environment. Our server was friendly and made sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend checking them out, especially on Taco Tuesdays! " (*Curated Review*)
