With a passion for family and food the Lujan sisters came together to open Agave Azul Kitchen & Tequila Bar in 2012. Their goal was to bring together a gathering of authentic Mexican home cooking that stuck to their roots. Their family originated from Zacatecas, Mexico and then came to Hughson, California to begin farming. With this heritage came recipes passed down from generation to generation. Food was the center of their life and growing up on a local farm allowed their family to cook at home with food grown on their land. Sandra and Gabby originally had the thought of opening Taqueria El Agave, but it quickly transformed into a full kitchen serving some of their favorite dishes such as pollo con crema y rajas. The unique thing about Agave Azul is their attention and focus to the quality of each of the ingredients that goes into their recipes and their commitment to never sacrificing on quality home grown ingredients.

    Being in Yosemite is always a special experience. Walking into the Mountain Room simply feels appropriate. The rustic style meshes with the ruggedly beautiful terrain it sits. My expectation of our meal was subdued, but was quickly undone. John, our service, as well as hi supporting team, were attentive. John had worked in the park, and this restaurant, for 42 years and shared some interesting stories. All of our meals were super, but the trout was unbelievably good. This will be my go-to spot when we return.

    The server Alec was extremely polite, respectful, kind, we had a window seat with view of the forest and deers passed by our window. The forager omelette was well portioned and very tasty. The server's assistant Ivan was pleasant & kind to warm up my cappuccino. Alec supported all our needs and food customization as needed since we were both vegetarians. We had the best breakfast of our 3 Day stay in Yosemite valley. Easily a 5-star unique experience.
