Agave Azul Kitchen & Tequila Bar

A gem of a place hidden away in Hughson. Authentic and delicious with large portioned servings. The salsa flight ranged from mild green to hot and spicy red served with chips made inhouse. The flour tortillas were freshly made too! The shredded beef was tender and just fell apart. Didn't try the tequila but enjoyed a tall draft beer to wash it all down. The ambiance and decor was comfortable and the service was friendly and attentive. Update 8/9/23: impromptu last minute get together with a group of five easily accommodated and provided excellent service, meals and drinks. Everyone was surprised at the many dinner options and large portions. We had a great time. And the music kept us grooving in our seats.

Always a great experience at Agave! The food is top notch and the service is really good! Sea food Molcajete for dinner and churros for desert!

Celebrated my brother's birthday here. A small get together. I recommend you make a reservation or you'll be waiting to get a table. The bar side is nice but a tight squeeze to get people in. The drink choices are great and they had holiday drinks options as well. The old fashioned is fantastic. The rest itself is such a great and comfortable vibe. The food is amazing. It came a lot quicker than expected and that is not a complaint. Just a surprise. I definitely recommend coming here for dinner with friends or family.

If you want great atmosphere, food/drinks and last but not least amazing staff I highly recomennd this restaurant! From the bar to the outdoor and indoor dinning you'll have a great experience. EVERY SINGLE staff member is amazing you can tell they put great effort is providing the best! I'll point out one staff member in particular, Andrea and shes the definititon of what great customer service is. A great server, listener, communicator, undertanding, and over the top. She's the best!!!! Mind you she was not our original server when my 5 guest and I arrived. I'll share a portion of our experience towards the end of our visit. A small mistake with our check took place when our original server finished with her shift and we had to pay so the next staff member can take over. Andrea was that next person to attend our table. I notice a different charge made to my card than originally listed on the reciept or mentioned prior by our previous server. That charge was the gratuity charge added for the size of the party. Some restaurant businesses would care more about the money but When I brought up my concern of the miscommunication Andrea assisted with figuring out where the misunderstanding had happened. And all I can say is that she handled it beyond expectation. There was a mutual understanding of the mistake and at the end of the day it felt like we were treaded like family.
I wish you all great success, I look forward to our next visit to Agave Azul. Thank you for everything.

Must try! Food was great, atmosphere was nice even outside. Drinks are really good. Let me tell you that you will not leave hungry- so much food. Service was ok- not great not bad- average- but not worth deducting a star for that. Prices are average but again a lot of food. My margarita was $12 but had enough alcohol in it. We will visit again and recommend.

I have been here a few times with my family and the food and service is consistently great! They had chips with 3 different salsas that really hit the spot. Last time I ordered the chilaquiles with shrimp and it was delicious!!! The flavor was great and the chilaquiles were crispy. I will always come here when I am in the Modesto area. Highly recomended!!!!

Had the Quesadilla Fritta, Quesa birria, La Fresa (cocktail) along with complimentary chips and salsa. Everything had a fantastic fresh flavor to it. No ingredients overpowered any of the others in the dish making it excellent. I was full less than half way through my meal, but not in a heavy uncomfortable way. Servers were also very attentive and helpful. Outdoor and inside seating options. Walk ins are an option, but I'd suggest a reservation during busy times specifically if trying to sit inside. I highly recommend this spot, and I'm glad I happened to find it. Will definitely be returning again.

Place is beautiful 😍 food was amazing steak was the best hands down Brussels sprouts were best I ever had x10 drinks were strong .. the girl who sat us was rude but everyone else was awesome so don't wanna. Knock all cause her but remember customers service is your title 🙄 .. pricey but worth it!! Ceviche was the bomb but small

The food and drinks here are amazing!! The service could be a little more thorough/fast, but the servers are nice, and I have never had service that is bad. Been coming here for several years now!

Best place for the prettiest and tastiest cucumber jalapeño margarita in the Valley! Husband and I had lunch with friends visiting from Calaveras who specifically requested authentic Mexican food, so we brought them here..they loved it! Establishment is well decorated with art, vibrant colors, and lively music always playing in the background. They have TVs, nice outdoor dining, and an xtra large menu. They serve chips and salsa and have a delicious xtra spicy salsa if you ask. Service is friendly, although usually busy they are always efficient. Aside from the gazing into the beauty of my drink and savoring each sip, we also shared a couple of orders of tequila shrimp that we love so much and almost forgot the pic. It’s served beautifully with buttery white rice in the canter and this amazing flavor bursting tequila shrimp that surrounds it with chunks of flavor. I ordered the grilled fish tacos that were pleasantly delicious. I asked what type of fish they used, it was not Tilapia, so I ordered as she said it was similar to cod and these tacos were filled with tasty fresh goodness👌My husband enjoyed his green sauce chicken served with rice, beans and warm tortillas. We love this place for always consistently great Mexican food and vibes!

Tacolgados (Tac-ol-gados) (NEW) Three mini hanging corn tacos ARRACHERA sauteed with onions, tomato & cheese. These were delicious 😋

Best Mexican food I've experienced in the general area. Highly recommend. Great variety of cocktails too.

Not very often that we venture east into Hughson, but wow... what a nice surprise to find a great restaurant so close! Food was awesome; recommending the Pollo con Crema y Rajas as now officially my favorite dish (until I try something else...). Found the "Margarita Flights" unique and very good! Salsas were excellent, two spicy and one mild, but all full of flavor. We will be back to try the remaining dishes on the menu... thanks for a great experience!

This place is great! Nice outdoor dining area! Can't believe it took me this long to stop by! They make you feel welcome! We will definitely be going back! Shrimp burrito was amazing! 🦐🌯

They sure have some delicious homemade corn tortillas. There is nothing better than fresh, homemade tortillas with butter.

Food is amazing here. We come on Tuesdays usually with a larger group of people. Waitresses are always so nice and accommodating. The chips and salsa are great as they have a variety of salsa on the table. Food is always hot and delicious. Fajitas and tacos are great. The molcajete is one of the best from Merced to Modesto! My only complaint would be the price of the drinks for the amount of alcohol in them. They look amazing but they are not strong. Ordered the watermelon that was 30.00 and it did not have near enough alcohol to match the price. Same with drinks on 2 other occasions. Other than that everything we've had has been amazing.

This is my new favorite place. Flight of Margaritas, molcajete, homemade tortillas..... I'm getting hungry writing this. MAKE RESERVATIONS AHEAD OF TIME!!

Food was excellent. Large portions. Fast service.

Fav Mexican restaurant hands down in modesto area. There food is always fire 🔥 and the drinks are beautiful and great. And the service is always up to par. Definitely worth a visit!!

Had dinner there. Fast service, food was awesome and served quickly. Waiter was awesome. Only think I didn't like was the lack of a menu when we sat down. We were prompted to use our phones to scan the QR code on the table. Cool idea with the QR code, but I was looking forward to an outing with the family with phones put away. Overall had an amazing meal here and will definitely be coming back.
