Agave & Rye Cleveland

It was a bit slow to be acknowledged when I first came in. I noticed other patrons were also ignored entering the restaurant. So… on from there. The service was good for the rest of my meal. The bartenders were very nice and took care of me. I got a generous portion of the ghost pepper salsa as a sampler. The three mixed dip is very large. I’m taking quite a bit with me. The guacamole was delicious and the ghost pepper salsa was very good. It isn’t too hot. I ate most of the queso because that doesn’t reheat well. After filling up on chips and salsa, I didn’t have room for much else. I ordered the Carne Asada taco. It was delicious, although unfortunately, it was cold. The roasted corn was very tasty and the salsa was very good as well. The steak was cooked just right . But then again… I was disappointed that it was cold. The margaritas aren’t very strong. But it’s Tuesday and they’re half price. I’m having my last margarita and I ordered an extra shot of 1800 reposado to kick up the taste. With the addition of the extra shot it’s quite delicious. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my experience. I would come back. On a strange note. The chandeliers in cages are overkill. I’m sitting at the bar and I can’t see the TV. It would be nice if they took most of these down. Maybe just left up one or two for an accent in the decor. What’s the point of having a big screen TV if you can’t see it?

It is a nice place. When I was there, it was kind of empty but it took a long time for someone to come and give me a table. As soon as the service started it was pretty decent but the forgot me at the end hahaha. The food was really good. I think at night it is better! Music and decoration are amazing.

Edit: I want to update that the manager reached out and we gave Agave and Rye a 2nd Chance. The waitstaff (Taylor) was extremely attentive to my girlfriend's dietary restrictions, and even worked with her to modify non-vegan menu items to make them vegan. After this second experience, we definitely will return, as we now feel confident that they are able to respect dietary needs and provide a great meal. I visited for Taco Tuesday with my vegan girlfriend. She ordered the Vegan Jackfruit Tacos while I ordered from the regular menu. Unfortunately, she was mistakenly served tacos containing mozzarella cheese. She didn’t realize the error until after eating a portion of the dish. We immediately informed the bartender—who was friendly and understanding—and he confirmed with the manager that she had, in fact, been given the wrong order. While they did bring out the correct vegan order eventually, the damage was already done. My girlfriend has maintained a strict vegan diet for over 10 years, and this mistake caused her to spend the rest of the evening extremely ill—vomiting and dealing with severe digestive distress. To make matters worse, we were charged in full and her meal wasn’t comped, despite the restaurant’s mistake. Additionally, the floors were dirty, which added to the negative impression. I don’t typically leave bad reviews, but I would strongly caution anyone with dietary restrictions from eating here. A careless error like this can have serious consequences, and the lack of accountability was disappointing.

Shae was absolutely amazing! She made our dining experience so memorable and incredible! The food and her recommendations were excellent! We can’t wait to come back and bring our friends.

A Flavorful Finale to a Beautiful Weekend – Agave & Rye, Cleveland, OH After an unforgettable weekend at the Lithuanian Song Festival in Cleveland, our stomachs reminded us it was time to eat—and fast. With a long drive back to New Jersey ahead of us, we needed something quick but satisfying. That’s when we discovered Agave & Rye, a spot that had great reviews and a creative taco menu that caught our attention. Though we wished we had time to sit and soak in the atmosphere of the restaurant, we had to settle for takeout. Still, the experience didn’t disappoint. Since it was our first time, we weren’t quite sure what to get—so we played it safe and went with variety: Taco Flight (3) x4 Chips & Queso Lemonade Buzz Box As I waited, Yavonne, one of the staff members, came over to let me know they were out of lemonade but could offer virgin margaritas instead—made in-house with their own mix. It sounded fun and refreshing, so I said yes. Not only was it a great call, but Yavonne even helped me carry our order to the car, where my wife and kids were waiting. Talk about service! The food? Absolutely out of this world. These were hands-down some of the best tacos we’ve ever had. Bold flavors, creative combos, fresh ingredients—and bonus: they offer gluten-free taco options! The virgin margaritas were a hit with everyone, especially the kids. It turned out to be a highlight of the trip 😄 Yvonne said they make their own margarita mix and it was really good, wishing I could have had a real margarita but it was refreshing especially went well with the tacos. If you’re ever in Cleveland and even remotely hungry, Agave & Rye is a must-visit. Whether you dine in or take out, you're in for something special.

Fantastic strong drinks and truly epic tacos! Dominique was our server and she did a wonderful job. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Wish we didn’t live so far away!!❤️

I’m from out of town and only make it once a year or so, but I LOVE this place! The food is always delicious, the vibes are immaculate, and service is always wonderful. Today in particular it was a slower afternoon and I got to sit and chat with Sierra for a bit, and she was amazing! She made sure I was well taken care of and left feeling extra confident about how cute I am! 😎 thanks Sierra for a memorable lunch!

So me and a coworker were searching for a place in the warehouse district to grab a bite and a drink. As we were walking we stumbled upon this hidden gem.The decor would make you think that you’re in New Orleans somewhere and the music added to the perfect vibe.We chose to sit at the bar.Our waiter Angel was so patient and polite and he answered all our questions and made a few recommendations. The wait wasn’t long at all and the food was amazing. I had the flight size epic taco and my pick was The Plain Jane, The Filthy Fajita, and the Snitch.I highly recommend the Jalapeño Pineapple Rita. It was the perfect drink mixture and allowed lightweights for me to not have so much liquor. Can most definitely come alone or with a group. You won’t be disappointed I personally can’t wait to come back:)

Got the three taco flight. The swipe right, gangsta, and the alderman. The swipe right was amazing with savory tender chicken and bacon. The gangsta was also delicious, if slightly harder to eat as the meat wanted to stick together. The alderman was good, but not quite as good as the other two. Would definitely go back and get more tacos!

The birria grilled burrito is THE BOMB. My favorite in the Lakewood area now! I door dashed it and it was still that good. Sign me up!

Angela was awesome and the variety of tacos is great! It's a nice lunch spot and the food came out quickly. Will definitely return.

Visited Agave & Rye and ordered the Plain Jane tacos. They were good, straightforward, and reasonably priced. The restaurant itself is spacious and seems well-suited for larger groups, which was a plus. Service was pleasant and knowledgeable, and the overall experience was smooth. I'd consider coming back in the future.

I loved the aesthetic of this restaurant. It was super cute with lots of fun and bright decor and cute knick knacks all around. The food was really good when you actually got it... but dont be surprised if its not hot. We sat at the bar and didnt get noticed until 15-20 minutes after arriving. We didnt care about waiting only because we had nothing to do and we were visiting the city. Once we placed our drink order, we waited another 20 minutes for our drinks and we ordered the Irish Nachos which had brisket. They were AMAZING. I didnt even care that the food was cold. There was so much brisket it didnt really matter but it made the fries worth it. We ordered the Irish Nachos with our drinks but the food didnt come out for about an hour. Hence the not hot part. After awhile we ordered more drinks during happy hour and the elotes.... took an additional 30 minutes for our new drinks and an additional 45 minutes for the elotes.... again, the food was super yummy just dont expect to be served quickly and your food to be hot.

I'm going to start this review off with the good things, because I think this place has good potential. Ambiance: the overall vibe was really cool, and it's a big place. It's got the great lighting and visually interesting stuff around. Big booths and big seating areas outside too. The food: overall the food was really good. It's different to have the hard corn shell inside a flour tortilla, and adds some good texture. Everything was seasoned well, and crispy things were crispy. Not pictured is the chips and queso which was pretty good as well. The margaritas were good as well. Now onto what was not great: everything else. First, the overall vibe of the staff was really off. We got there and the hostess was running around with a Togo order, and a line of 3 other parties ended up starting behind us waiting at the host stand. We saw at least 6 other people working that were doing anything they could to not make eye contact with any of us up front, even though most were truly looking for something to do. Once the hostess was able to come up about 5 minutes into us waiting, we got seated. I think it's important to note that we went yesterday (Tuesday) and they weren't crazy busy (plenty of open tables). I have worked in a restaurant before so I know that still may mean the servers are stretched thin, but throughout our whole 1.5 hour experience we continually saw servers basically hiding in the back area (we had a good vantage point of the back of the bar and the server station where they get the chips). We didn't get our server for another almost 10 minutes, and she took our drink and app order. We got our chips and queso, followed by our carne asada egg rolls about 15 minutes later, and I had to ask again for water. At this point the man at the table next to us got up and got his drinks from the bar, as they had been sitting there for quite some time. They were pretty annoyed, and it seemed like they had been there a long time before us and were still waiting for drinks and food. We got our margaritas about half hour after ordering them, and I had clocked them on the bar about 10 minutes before that. Our server was running around doing side work and hanging in the back corner, but walked by them countless times without grabbing them. This brings me back to the vibe of the servers- no one ran any food or drinks that wasn't theirs. It truly was baffling to see the servers go to the back to look busy, rather than check on tables or run food or do literally anything to help anyone. Finally a nice young lady who said it was her 3rd day brought our drinks. At this point our server took our dinner order. At this point one man had asked to see the manager a number of times and was being ignored, and we didn't see anyone who even seemed to be a manager. He eventually went back to his table. We're about an hour in at this point and the table next to us was super fed up. Their server stopped by once to give the bill and then never came back. Something was wrong on their bill and the man asked 3 servers for help fixing it and they all said they couldn't and that they would find his server. One saw him and turned the other way. The man was trying for a solid 15 minutes to get someone to help him. They finally just left without paying (not saying it is right that they did) and the server didn't even come to the table for another 10 minutes to realize they left without paying. We finally got our food, but man was it all falling apart in the restaurant. 4 other tables from outside and another section came over to near us to ask for a manager. The man from earlier went to the host stand and again was asking for the manager since they ignored him. A bartender came over to speak with him, but we paid and left about this time. I am generally pretty understanding about service issues since I was a server, but man, this place was a train wreck overall, which is a bummer because the food was yummy.

Excellent service, beautiful interior. I had the Pick 3 sampler with guacamole and salsas as an appetizer. Enough to feed 4 people as a starter and paired it with the jalapeno pineapple marg. A fun start to the evening. The best thing I had was a taco off the Luxe Collection. My server recommended The Bomb and it truly was. I have not had mac and cheese on a taco but the way they do it was so delicious, I could have had a few of those and called it a day. There are Bourbon poached shrimp on top with a drizzle of chili & bbq jam, then chunks of carne asada on top of the Mac N Cheese (and I don't even like mac & cheese). It was a fun evening with something for everyone. If you're not a fan of tacos and you're also cutting carbs, my friend ordered from the Not a Taco menu and honestly, it's the perfect meal for anyone on a macro diet.

I went twice while I was in Cleveland for a conference and had the same server (she was amazing!) They were able to accommodate my gluten free needs.

My crew and I took a short walk from our hotel to check out Agave & Rye. We really wanted nachos, (which I dis get to go) but once we saw the menu and our new friend Bill gave us the breakdown, we decided to try the tacos. We had two taco flights, a single taco, and a dessert taco. The birria really is the star of the show. Both girls who got flights loved the Gangsta tacos the best! The flavor of that birrea is exceptional! I had the Alderman taco, which was also excellent! There was a little too much mac and cheese for my friend's taste on the Rooster and the Crown Jewel. So many different flavors to choose from, everyone in your group will find something to like. We didn't have margs, but the descriptions were sure tempting.....next time! Save room for dessert because the suga' tacos sounded amazing too! We tried a bananas Foster taco. It was delish like the best banana pudding plus plus!!! We will be back next time we're in town and send more people to try alllllllll the tacos! We didn't even take pictures of the place. It's so cute. Loved the Chihuly glass fixtures, the furniture and art. The whole vibe was fun. We had top notch service! Thanks to all the staff, especially our friend, Bill. So sorry about the water spill!

I came across this popping restaurant as I was walking around downtown on a Monday evening. Thankfully, it was not too crowded & I was seated quickly. Aaron took care of me & was super helpful with recommendations & what drink to order. I didn't have to ask him for anything because he was attentive. The ambiance was artists & chill. The decor is wall murals & chandeliers. Very funky & cool. I was dressed very casually & did not feel out of place. I felt like the music was a tad too loud, but that also could've been because I was sitting underneath the speaker. But not upset about their playlist. They immediately brought me water & told me about the menu. I ordered the Mac N Cheese Beignets to start. I didn't know what to expect with these, but they sounded delicious & I've never seen something like them. So I had to try them. I was initially hesitant because they were served with maple syrup. I tried them by themselves for the first bite. Hmmm, hit the spot. Crunchy on the outside & creamy on the inside. Very flavorful. The second bite, I dipped in the syrup & was surprised to learn it was spicy! Highly recommend ordering these! I had to do my best not to fill up on these & save room for my birra tacos. For drinks, I ordered the Strawberry Bombshell! It was so yummy. It reminded me a lot of an alcoholic version of the pink drink from starbs but a little more coconut. I ordered the birra tacos. Words don't even describe how good they were. If you're contemplating them, just go for it.

The menu was so creative, they had so many options that looked delicious. The inside looked really cool, but sitting outside was also very nice on a summer day. The waitress was SO sweet and helpful!! Also if you're brave, try the Bayou Baddie ;). 10/10 will be back

We stopped in with a pretty big group to enjoy dinner after arriving in the city. Our server was super friendly and extremely helpful in picking our entrées. We enjoyed the chips with three dips and then All chose our own tacos. These are not your mom's tacos. Two is plenty to fill any hunger. I look forward to trying the location in my home city.

Ask for Niito Customer service was white table cloth energy. Extremely knowledgeable about the entire menu and attentive.

We went to Agave and Rye on a Saturday. There were several events going on in the city so most of the restaurants were very busy, Agave and Rye was no exception. There was a 40 minute wait for 2 but we were "lucky" enough to find a spot at the bar. For as busy as this place was there was absolutely no urgency from the staff. We were just looking to order a cocktail and apps before our event. We ordered everything during our first interaction with the bartender because we only had about an hour. We ordered the jalapeño pineapple margaritas, chips and queso and the sweet corn fritters. We got the drinks in a timely matter and they were pretty good. I did have to ask for water 3 times before we actually got it. We were there for almost 40 minutes and still no food. We asked for the check because we needed to get going . The bartender informed us we still had apps coming, again, only ordered chips and queso and some fritters, I informed them we had been waiting for quite some time and needed to get to our event so we no longer wanted food. We paid our check, we gave the bartender some grace and still topped well even though it wasn't really earned. We were finishing our cocktails and lo and behold here come our fritters. I was going to try it just because they did arrive, they were not hot and overly greasy, didn't even take a bite. I don't know if they were understaffed or if the staff just didn't care but for the 45 minutes we were there, several tables sat empty and uncleaned. Behind the bar was disgusting. It seemed every plate from customers that ate at the bar was cleared from the bar top and up under the bar never to be cleared, it was just gross. The interior was actually really cool so I'm really disappointed with our experience.

great experience staff was incredible food was amazing would recommend anyone downtown to try this location

Unceremoniously canceled an Uber eats order 30 mins after accepting it. Off my list.

Reason for visiting: post Cleveland pride team lunch Day & Time: 1pm on a Saturday (June 1st) Party of: 8 Reservations: none Order Type: dine-in Waiter: forgot the name but she was great Service: fast Ambiance: chill. Not loud but not quiet. Not busy either Food Order: -Appetizer: sweet corn fritter= crunchy and pretty good -Drink: virgin strawberry drink= a little on the sour side -Entree: Birria Tacos= tacos were great but the consume was not the best Extras: Portion Size: great Conclusion: overall this was okay. I've been to a few agave and rye locations and it's always just okay. The place was clean and the service was fast. They do accommodate my large party which was nice and all ordered food can put together and was correct. This place doesn't give me the authentic feel but if you want a taco it will do.

Place is still really good 2+ years later. Nito aka Hiram was at the bar and great. His demeanor is awesome even when by himself. Had some great recommendations. I am limited in my ability to eat a taco, sandwich, burger, etc so I try to find things to eat with a fork. (I am not low carb, just can't open my mouth) Anyway, had the Elote and it was really good. Corn and spice and warm. Need I say moNito suggested the Nashville Hot Chicken quesadilla. What a wonderful idea. The chicken was fall apart moist. And the flavor, wow. Thank you for a great meal.

Food terrific, service outstanding, the best location to get your taste buds going. I had the The Good Wolf epic taco and the Apple Pie Crumble Suga Taco for dessert.

The first thing you notice at Agave and Rye is the fun and funky decor. Everywhere you look there is something different. They seemed to have two dining rooms and a nice outdoor bar/seating area. I imagine the bar will be very busy this summer. We went during the Taco/Tequila Crawl so the bar was very busy and there were people in and out quickly picking up a taco. We choose to be seated and order a meal. The Green Goddess was a very large vegan taco and quite good. I would have preferred my margarita in a glass as opposed to plastic, but that might have been because of the crawl.

Cool decorations and atmosphere, stopped in after a meeting for a quick bite. I got the Fajita epic taco which consisted of carna asada, queso, chipotle sauce, mushrooms, Mexican rice, and bell peppers. Hard corn taco shell wrapped in a soft flour shell. It was delicious, service was quick and friendly and explained the menu well. Only complaint was my buddy got the flight of tacos for a few bucks more. From what I'm told the epic tacos are bigger than what you get on the flight despite comparing the two they were the same size.

It gets one star because of our server, Mikhayla(sp?) She was very pleasant and helpful. We ordered queso. It was bland and had to search for crisp chips. Most were half stale. The tacos were not as described. They should list the ingredients like they do a food label. The ingrediant that is most used to the one that is not. The Plain Jane was toppings galore and a little cold meat. The Lobster taco was all heavy mac and cheese and a bit of lobster. Also not hot. My wife's were the same. The Shrimp rangoon bites were OK. It was just a disappointing meal and we walked away unsatisfied and $140 lighter. They need to figure out what they are and do better. Just saying!

This place is beautiful!! My eyes couldn't stay focused the bright and warm colors the chandeliers the designs its just gorgeous!!! I forgot our waitress name but she was knowledgeable of the menu gave suggestions I forgot what we had but they were all tasty I had had the elote corn very tasty and tortillas and guacamole with queso and salsa I really didn't care for salsa I prefer chunky there's were purée Cool place love the vibes

Food was super yummy, I got the jackfruit vegan birria tacos. Dominique was my waitress and she was so sweet and nice. Answered all our questions and was a pleasure! Great experience

The exterior and interior of the restaurant are gorgeous. They have a great patio for when the weather is nice. The inside is beautifully decorated and is a whole vibe. My husband and I walked in (without reservations) early on a Saturday night and were seated right away. Our server was friendly and efficient and the service was quick. We ordered margaritas and the birria Irish nachos. Both the app and the margarita were fantastic and were a good size- especially the nachos. We ordered two tacos each and they're really a good size. I'd say that A&R's tacos are bigger compared to other similar taco places. They're also messier and maybe not executed as well. All in all the food and drinks were really good. I'd probably come here again for Margaritas and apps as they were far superior than other taco places, but the tacos were not in comparison. Which brings me to my last point... A&R markets themselves as a "bourbon hall" and that is simply not the case. Don't come here for bourbon, nobody does. This is initially what brought my husband and I here- to check it out and we figured we'd enjoy tacos at the very least. Their bourbon selection is small and mostly shelf stuff. They had a few unicorn bottles that had not even been opened and they were $100 a pour- now I don't know if that was for 1 or 2 ounces because even the bartender didn't know. It's kind of laughable that they call themselves a bourbon hall. They're a taco place that also has some bourbon. So please don't come here for bourbon.

There are a ton of options. It took me a minute to order and the waitress suggested I go with the 3taco option. You can mix and match and these tacos did not disappoint!

What a fantastic introduction to the Cleveland food scene! This taco spot is not just a restaurant--it's an experience. The decor is absolutely fabulous, and the creative menu had us excited from the moment we sat down. We started with the trio of chips served with guacamole, queso, and verde salsa. The chips were clearly homemade, perfectly salty, and completely addictive. The guacamole was fresh and flavorful, and while the queso could have used a touch more seasoning, it was still very good. I ordered the Boss Lady Smash Taco, and it was nothing short of amazing. It's a black bean burger smashed between two flour tortillas glued together with cheese. The fried grated carrots on top were a unique and delightful touch--I've never had anything like it before! The corn salsa was so delicious that I found myself sneaking some off my boyfriend's plate. Speaking of my boyfriend, he ordered three tacos, though honestly, one would have been enough as they were absolutely loaded. They had so many options it was hard to pick just one. The meat was incredibly tender, practically melting in your mouth. I believe he had carnEvery bite was full of rich, savory goodness. Our server was great--efficient and friendly, despite how busy the place was. While we didn't have much interaction due to the quick service, we could tell they were working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Overall, this was our first meal in Cleveland after moving here this weekend, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. We'll definitely be back!

This place was a vibe. A lot of cool art work. Isaiah, who attended to us was so personable and accommodating. I had the strawberry bombshell. Drinks were okay. Not much alcohol in them but the tequila shot following did the trick. I ordered the birria tacos. I'm really picky when it comes to birria tacos and I have to rate them an 9/10. I appreciated that the tacos themselves weren't overly greasy. When back in Cleveland, I would definitely revisit.

amazing service. I will be visiting again. Favorite place to come to when I'm in the Cleveland area. The food is great. The service is even better

This place was okay. At the very best. We went in on a Monday and we're told the specials which was a margarita monday. My coworker was excited and ordered her drink. The waiter turns to me and asks if I'm going to have one or if I'm going to "chicken out". That statement pissed me off. I choose not to drink for personal reasons and being treated that way doesn't sit well with me. The food was average and way overpriced. The best thing here was their quest dip. Honestly there are better places for service in the area.

So many tacos, so little appetite! Started out with the queso con chorizo. There was a TON of freshly fried flour tortillas served with a cup of dip. It wasn't strong on what I'd expect to be a chorizo dip, was more like ground beef with a hint of Italian sausage instead. Different, but not disappointing. There are so many great sounding concoctions here, we narrowed it down to 5. Which, btw, the portions are HUGE so unless you have a giant appetite, 2 will be plenty (if you get an appetizer, too): - Alderman Taco: Good, nothing crazy. - The Sugar Daddy of the Plain Jane: His favorite, a play on a pretty standard taco - The Good Wolf: My favorite - The Gangsta: Enjoyable - Spicy Rangoon Smash Taco: Sounded the coolest but it was our least favorite of them all. The description is a bit confusing (it's one taco with 2 flour tortillas - neither a quesadilla structure nor two tacos as you might be led to imagine from the description). Ambience is pretty cool, a lot going on and a bit "social-media-ready-for-my-close-up" but fun. The drink menu looks fantastic but we didn't indulge. Service was friendly, prompt, and courteous. Would return for another round should we find ourselves in a city with a location.

shae was a great server today! I came in for lunch with my boyfriend & she didn't fail to make us laugh & gave us great recommendations

Still one of the best, most fun spots! First time here for happy hour - super good prices on margs and chips and queso. The quesadilla is BOMB - do not overlook it. So filling you can get it as a shareable for the table. All tacos are amazing and they rotate so I'd say just get whatever looks delish that day. I am coming back for a lobster taco in a few weeks. Pics to come. Great service and great vibes as always. Thanks!!!

Absolute worst service. Took over 3.5 hours with talking to the management 3 times. We were only asked by the server once for food and drink. The rest of the time we spent waiting.

My friends and I had walked here for lunch after enjoying the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a few hours. It was hot out and we were hungry and thirsty. Our server Sierra was fantastic, she was professional, fun and attentive at just the right times! We were in the corner and she was telling us about the Air Show going on and said, "If you hear anything loud, look up and you can see them flying by." She answered all of our questions and gave us great suggestions about drinks, shared a special taco that was offered and made sure we were aware of spice levels, "I just want you to be sure and there are no surprises. I want you to enjoy your meal." I asked about the "epic" size margaritas and we all agreed we wanted the upgrade and let's just say the drinks were "juicy" and we had a ball. I had the Little Red Corvette frozen (Yum), one friend had Pineapple Jalapeño (spicy) with Tajín chile lime on the rim and other had a Strawberry one that was a little sweet ( looked like strawberry milk). I thoroughly enjoyed the Beef Burria tacos and the consommé was so good I was eating like soup. The pico de gallo was the best I had ever had. My friends tried the double layered tacos, one was a special- with mango salsa and strawberry bobas. My friend said it was, "Pretty tasty and kind of odd. I'm glad I got the bobas on the side." The ambience was fun and eclectic with different types of chandeliers, artwork from paintings, abstract wall designs and lots of color. Seating options are: standard tables and chairs, booths, indoor and outdoor dining. Great place to meet friends and family for food and drinks, special occasions (a bridal party was there for lunch) and I think they'd be kid friendly (?) but call ahead if you're wondering. Prices were $$-$$$, but totally appropriate and worth the quality and quantity of food/drink you receive. I highly recommend this place for a fabulous time!

Food and service were excellent. The restaurant had a great, modern vibe. Sierra was a great server!

Shae was amazing - great service and recommendations. Food and drinks were great. Would definitely go back.

would love to have eaten, and be able to review the food, however... Mon 9/9/24 ~12:20 pm, waited ~7 minutes at front desk; beautiful bar (only one patron) in front of a non crowded seating area. was never greeted or seated. I figured if they didn't want to serve me, I didn't want to stay...

We stopped here on our first night in Cleveland. We couldn't have had a better start! Ok so I would give the food a four, but the vibe and service were definitely a 5. Of course, I am a hard grader in terms of tacos and food in general. So here we go. I had the green goddess taco. It was too large and not practical to eat. When you bite into it, you'll end up with Brussels sprouts hanging from your mouth. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the double shell situation, mainly because I don't like flour tortillas. The flavor wasn't there, and it wasn't truly green. The fried carrots on top were cool, but it wasn't giving green goddess. But the grilled shrimp tacos--those were soooooooooo good! I would go back just for those. I had them with the vegan red sauce. The crispy mahi mahi was simple and good as well. My companion enjoyed his tacos as well. He loves the cauliflower bites. I'm not a fan of sweet vegetables, but he loved it. The staff here are really nice! They were friendly and welcoming. I would come back just to get those shrimp tacos and wallow in the good vibes.

Drinks tacos and atmosphere were top notch. At first I was worried I didn't order enough, but even one taco was filling. I had some kind of crème margarita that was fantastic. The Ya mon taco was real good

We stopped here for a quick drink and snack before we started our night! We were excited because we got to sit outside as it was such a nice day! Our server came right to the table, brought us some water, and gave us a few minutes with the menu! We decided on some chips and queso because you can never go wrong there!!! The queso was delicious, and the chips were nice and crispy!! Our drinks were marvelous as well! My friend got the strawberry margarita and it was full of flavor!!! The waitress made me her favorite drink which was a bourbon peach punch!!! - very good and if you don't like the taste of bourbon you can't really taste it, but the peach flavor is just delicious! It was the perfect little snack before we went on a boat! We want to come back and try more of the food they have to offer - it all looks amazing!!!

Tacos were good and reasonably priced, ambiance and music were fun. Kis was a nice and attentive. All in all a good experience

Considering it's a big city with very limited food options downtown we chose here. Our server was awesome. Super helpful pointing out different things on the menu. I loved the selection of tacos. I tried one with lobster and one with shrimp and chorizo. Fantastic guacamole. The atmosphere is super fun. Check out the bathroom. Pink panther themed. We enjoyed it so much we went back 2 days later and tried different tacos and each one was delicious. They also offer sandwiches and gourmet hot dogs but do yourself a favor - get the tacos. Oh and the cocktails were point one. Lots of booze and lots of great flavor. Highly recommend this fun place. Make reservations bc they did have wait times both days. But I made reservations and got right in :)

Visited A&R with a coworker recently. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated and given menus and large glasses of filtered icewater. Reviewing the menu, it was Taco Tuesday. Plus it was burger week. The tacos were 50% off and the burger was only $8. Since this was our first visit, we decided to request tacos. I went with the Alderman and a Plain Jane. A short while later, our tacos were delivered. It took a minute to identify which was which, but the Alderman taco was delicious. It had a good amount of tasty beef on it. I requested the spicy sauce on the side. I gave that sauce to my coworker and he put it on his tacos and loved it. The Plain Jane taco was just okay. I feel like it had too much cotija cheese and it was a bit overpowering. So I removed some of the cheese and then I could taste the other ingredients a little more. The quality of the tacos is excellent and the soft tortilla shell is necessary to keep the inner hard tortilla shell from falling apart. The tacos are messy, but delicious. The prices on Tuesday were very reasonable. For those reasons, we will visit again.

The ambience is breathtaking. They put a lot of thought into it. The server Isaiah was very welcoming, knew the menu, and was smiling the entire time. The food is okay, nothing out of the ordinary. We ordered the guacamole and the elote for appetizers. The guacamole was okay the elote was pretty spicy (keep in mind my boyfriend and I don't like spicy). We then order the birria burrito and the birria from the cheese grilled section. They didn't have the birria from the cheese grilled section so I got the chicken which was the best! My boyfriend didn't love his burrito which also was quite spicy. I also ordered the regular strawberry margarita then I ordered the "little red corvette". They tasted literally the same and the corvette one is double the price, so don't waste your money, stick with the regular strawberry margarita. Service and ambiance is a 5 star but the food and drinks were okay that's why we are giving a 3 star.

Had an awesome time at this restaurant during a vacation to Cleveland. Vegan options were particularly tasty. The decor and style of the building was a ton of fun. Dominique helped us, and she had super positive and friendly energy that we appreciated a ton. She was so sweet. Definitely recommend!

food was delicious! shae did a great job and was so helpful with our big group. Highly recommend!

Why does this place have so many good reviews? It really beats me. Service - suuuuuper slow. If you want to wait forever for your food you should go here. The entire advantage of going to a taco place is to be able to eat fast because they are quick to prepare. Drinks - mediocre at the most. We ordered the jalapeño pineapple margarita. It's was a pineApple marg topped with jalapeño slices. Not mixed into the drink. So it ends up just burning your lips. Food - being vegetarians we had a few options to choose from. We went with green goddess epic tacos and bang bang epic tacos. If you want to eat goopy mush cauliflower you should get the bang bang one. Such a goopy consistency of the cauliflower it almost felt like baby food.! Nothing to complain about greengoddess . It was ok. Interiors- such weird murals and disjoint decor. I would not recommend.

We were staying in downtown Cleveland and this was a short walk. To savor the chill vibe, we started with two OG Margaritas - excellent. Not being terribly hungry, we order an elote and two tacos: a bang bang and a gangsta. Both were delicious and we really appreciated the diversity of vegetarian and vegan menu options.
