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.

Agave has a solid, well-rounded menu and the space has potential — the plants inside are a nice touch and the music is on point. Unfortunately, the service and execution were really disappointing.

The bar experience was especially poor. It felt disorganized, and it took far too long just to place an order. We moved to a table, where service improved slightly, but it was still slow.

The nachos were the biggest miss. We added steak, but the dish was drowned in liquid, turning everything into a soggy mess instead of something crisp and layered.

The coffee was good, and the Mexican chocolate cake was enjoyable, but overall, there was very little attention to detail. Nice atmosphere, but the service and food execution need work.

Made reservations at 8:15 on a Thursday night. On arrival was sat in a dark room with a bunch of skulls and asked to me moved. We were moved into the main area which is a much better atmosphere than the dark room but the tables are too small. My steak came out with uncooked fries and the avocado creme sauce was oily and separated. No refills. I complained and they just gave me the check. For a sub 40 dollar meal I've been served more appetizing steak dinners at Hoss's Steak and Sea House for 10 bucks. Not worth it at all.
