Many locals will tell you that having a bad meal in Healdsburg is not possible. And maybe that's true, but having an average meal is possible at Agave. They are quite friendly but not attentive, and the ingredients are fresh but not high end. So if you're looking for a solid but not outstanding meal, this is your place.

It's in a strip mall and the food is commensurate with what you find in a strip mall. We had the Carne Asada and tacos. Both were mediocre. The chips were dry and non-descript. Service was very attentive and deserves five stars.

Fresh ingredients with contemporary style. Must have 100 characters according to TA. So there. This former broadcast news writer writes tight!

Agave Restaurant and Tequila Bar is located in a Healdsburg shopping center a couple of blocks off the historic and shi-shi plaza. Unlike so many, owner Octavio Dias has made great efforts to create an inviting and very clean dining experience. Using only the freshest ingredients Senor Dias, who does the cooking, recreates both familiar and many new dishes from... More

After a week in and around the San Francisco Bay Area, I was a bit burned out on Italian, seafood, and brewery options for dinner. I was happy to a well reviewed Mexican restaurant pop up just a few minutes from my hotel. Yes, the restaurant is in a strip mall, but once in the doors you will neither notice... More

Found this place after returning on a Sunday from wine tasting in Sonoma county. We enjoyed the casual "vibe" and our waitress Amparo was wonderful. We spoke both Spanish and English and we all understood each other. I mistakenly ordered the chili verde versus the chili verde burrito, and the CV was the best that I had eaten in a... More

We thought this was a solid choice, but not anything special. I had the chicken mole and my SO had the pork carnitos taco combination plate. The mole was better than the carnitos. The rice and beans were good--better than average. But this wasn't the full restaurant experience I'm looking for on a vacation. The restaurant lacks ambience and looks... More

Agave was a very pleasant experience with very good food, the freshest ingredients, bright and clean surroundings and friendly and attentive staff. This will become a regular and recurring dinner (or lunch) location for us. The Tequila bar is extensive as you might expect from this popular restaurant's name. High quality and very authentic. Enjoy!. Located at 1063 Vine Street,... More

After a hard day in the saddle we wanted something filling and in an environment where your not judged by your appearance. We looked at a few Tex-Mex places in town and they were way to overboard for what we were looking for.

Every person in our group loved their meal. Located in a shopping center, but don't let that deter you. Great prices for great food. Try a michelada!
