    They have a unique menu with lots of special items. One of us had the grilled shrimp skewers - yum. Another had the special enchiladas with lobster and shrimp - another great choice. Them men had just normal steak burritos which they also thought were good. Service was great - but we went really early 4pm on a Sunday and the place was fairly empty. Our waiter was extremely attentive and anticipated our needs and had things before we asked. This was our second time here and both times were great!!

    We've eaten at Blue Agave several times and always like it. Last night the 6 of us had exceptional meals. I LOVE the vegan walnut tofu enchiladas! Everyone else had meat or fish. Look forward to the next time!

    Excellent service and main entrees were delicious. Great deal on house margaritas during happy hour. Chips were a little stale.

    The service was excellent and the cocktails were ample and although we ordered simply Manhattans they were well-made. The food itself was very tasty. We stuck to the Mexican menu portion so cannot speak to the rest. The only downside was excessive air air-conditioning which might have been welcome if the outside temperature has been higher. I would go back

    One of the sad things about living on the Kona side of the Big Island is that there are not great Mexican restaurants. This leads us on vacation to look for excellent ones, and we would put Blue Agave in that category. Great location by 16th and Larimer, easy to get to. And we chose to eat inside since it was an unseasonable 85 or so outside. With an opentable res we were quickly seated and greeted by our friendly server Vanessa who gave good advice and we proceeded to enjoy a great sampler of margaritas, a flight of five that was fun to sample. Followed by a tasty salad, and then our main dishes. Were I a local resident I'd be there weekly. Prices were quite reasonable, the ambiance was relaxing and the food helped with our never ending search for quality Mexican food. Mahalo!
