Agave & Rye - Indianapolis: Reviews & Ratings

The service of this restaurant is exceptional. I placed a questionnaire through their website asking if they could help me fulfill my long distance relationship valentine's day order. The general manager, Asar, contacted me a few days later eager to help me out. I did not give him much information to work with as I was simply wanting something to elevate the churro strawberry cheesecake dip to make it extra valentine-y. Asar went above and beyond to fulfill my request by getting a balloon, a card, and providing special packaging. He worked with me throughout the week to ensure my significant other received the best gift. I have attached images of the order even though boys don't understand "phone eats first" as well as the girls. He did say the dip tasted amazing. Overall, I wish I could give additional stars.

Need to feed your taco/marg craving? Try this gem. I love the decor, has a great feel to it, especially on a warm night on the patio. The bar can fit approx. 12 people and there are many tables and booths for everyone. There are a few arcade games to play, which is nice, especially if you bring kids as this is kid friendly. We just had a few apps, but the service was really nice and quick. We came on a Weds around 330 pm and it was hardly anyone there. There are two bathrooms, each for both men and women. Ok ay the food-chips and queso were great. The chips are homemade and they were literally perfect. Tasted like they were made to order. I also got the cauliflower appetizer that was really good. It's savory and a little sweet. I also ordered the little red corvette margarita. Please make sure to stir it!! It was so delicious, sweet and tangy. It was a big glass so I only drank one and trust me, that was more than perfect. They had some great music playing that we were vibing to. Mostly 90s and 00s music. I didn't order tacos, but i saw them and they were HUGE. So if you have an appetite, you may only need a couple. They also have flights as an option, which are smaller tacos. BTW...everything is VERY reasonably priced. My marg was maybe $15 but the glass is actually pretty big so it was 100% worth it-mind you I had the regular size and they have an "epic" size so I can only imagine what that's like. Really enjoyed this place.

Popped by agave and rye to try the devour menu and the food and service were great! The restaurant is close to the Gainbridge, so be aware if there are any events going on if you're driving as parking can be a challenge. Drinks were strong and they have multiple options frozen or on the rocks. The crispy Brussels are amazing - 10/10 would recommend. The tacos are also great and unique, the rooster with crispy chicken, Mac n cheese, and hot sauce was my favorite. Can't wait to return to try the asada egg rolls and spicy cauliflower taco in the future

So glad we went there today.. my family and I really enjoyed our lunch there today and on Taco Tuesday to boot! Food: delicious and creative fusion tacos. We had several items but the standouts for us were: Crispy Elote Deviled Eggs: so good, could've had two orders solo... we gobbled them up playing video games (yes, see below) The Dae-Bak Clucker: juicy and spicy Korean fried chicken pieces with fried rice and assorted veggies. King of Birria: messy, tasty dipping goodness. Grateful for the extra consumé... worked well with everything else. The Crown Jewel: essentially lobster Mac and cheese but more flavorful and loved the taco shell texture. Legit big pieces of lobster! Ambiance: hip and lively vibe overall. Gorgeous murals and decor. IMO, perfect music selection and volume (immersion and still able to hear one another easily). FREE standup video games - we played Donkey Kong, Tapper, Pac-man and Capcom & Marvel SF. There were about eight machines in total - great fun while waiting for food. Service: Taria was great. She got everything we needed with a smile and wonderful sense of humor. She even gave us a tour of the space (which was pretty sizable!) when we asked about it. TLDR: if you have a goto Taco/fun place list, add this one immediately. If you don't have a list, start one with Agave and Rye (they have other locations too)!

Love the paintings and music in the restaurant! It's a really fun & colorful place to eat! The menu is like a full steakhouse but everything is on a taco or in a burrito! Ha I love it! Really good food & drinks and spectacular. A little on the expensive side but worth it. The "epic" tacos are HUGE! Also didn't know they started serving hot dogs, which I didn't try but plan to next time!

Great place for tacos! They serve some unusual creations. Everyone in my group loved what they selected. They are big, one was plenty! Loved the decor. I hope this place can survive- there were very few people there the night we went.

Able to walk in on a Friday evening, no wait for 2 people. We visited the downtown location so there was street parking and it's pretty cheap! (ramps are around, too, but street meter is better option imo). Friendly server. We ordered the Irish nachos which is basically made with fries instead of chips. Very tasty but it was an app and it came out after the tacos and was lukewarm. Tacos were very good! Ordered 2 each: Filthy fajita and the gangsta (not pictured) The rooster and the grogu Tummy felt a little wonky that evening/following morning so proceed with caution
