"Hundreds of tequilas, including family-farmed mezcal, have found their way to the bar at Coa Agaveria. The margarita list alone makes a stop here fun but additional cocktails, featuring seasonal ingredients, rotate every few months. Interiors are attractively moody and punctuate a menu filled with sopes, pozole, ceviche, dobladitas, and tamales." - Stephanie Burnette

Love the design and layout of the restaurant. My food was savory, service was great. I felt very welcomed. Unique menu. Taste like South America.

We dined at COA a few weeks ago and it was amazing!! Really enjoyed the creative flares on their craft cocktails. The guacamole was the best I’ve had in Columbia! Portion sizes are great for the price point—seriously generously sized. Our waiter Cade was very attentive, making sure we received everything we ordered in a timely manner. Overall great experience, will be coming back!

If you want to go to a fine dining Mexican restaurant, this is the place! When I go to Mexican restaurants the portion sizes are usually big but since this place is fine dining the portion sizes are small. However, it's worth it because each dish that I got (which I circled on the menu, sorry it's kind of blurry) is packed with a lot of flavor and I was full afterwards ! I definitely loved the empanadas because the crust was so fluffy and flaky and had the right crunch! The outside tasted like a mild flavored funnel cake and the inside tasted like good gooey cheese and greatly seasoned steak! The tlayudas had great flavor as well and the Chipotle slaw on it balanced the flavors off. In addition, I like that they put guacamole dots on about every dish because you can dip your taco in it and it tastes delicious with the seasoned food as the dip is nice and fresh. Overall,it's a great place, great food, the staff was friendly, and it has a nice ambience for a great date night, it's nice and dark and it sets the mood.

Recently visited to go celebrate my wife's birthday and the vibe is nice it's an upscale Mexican restaurant very relaxing environment with a lots of craft cocktails and they actually know how the properly make your drinks. The biggest thing for me is that they have VEGAN options and they did not disappoint. For all the vegans out there it's always hard finding a place to accommodate your non vegan family and yourself this place was perfect. There's only 4 options and you have to ask for the vegan menu I had the ENVOLTURAS DE LECHUGA and TASTY AS FIT BOWL and it was delicious and very filling staff was on point the whole night and seated our party of 7 promptly would highly recommend!

COA is the absolute best gourmet Mexican Restaurant in the area. The COA Margarita is the also best you will find that is traditional and not made from sugary mixes! My party had the shrimp ceviche dish, Aguachili Verde, that blew my socks. It had lots of shrimp, lime juice, serrano peppers, cilantro, red onion and cucumbers! The Pozole Verde, Mexican soup) was the best I have ever had. My Bride always loves their Tamal De Rajas that is basically a vegetarian tamale. My favorite is the Poblano Relleno, poblano pepper roasted and stuffed with chicken, cheese and salsa verde. It will be consumed later due to the pain we were in!! Tomorrow for Din Din!!! I’m sure everyone has different tastes but this was the absolute best tonight!!!

Very cool spot. We stopped into the bar for drinks before a concert across town and were very impressed. Neither one of us are generally big drinkers of agave-based spirits, but our cocktails were fantastic! I loved my Oaxaca old fashioned. It was a gutsy twist on the classic cocktail, but it absolutely landed. Their impressive library of tequilas and mezcals prompted me to ask if they had a list I could see. They did, and I noticed that they even had some lesser-known agave spirits, and that you could try them in a flight. They were out of the raicilla, so we got a mezcal for comparison. The sotol was fresh and clean, better than most of the tequila I've had. The bacanora was likewise better than most of the mezcals I've had, including the one that was in the flight. It was sweet, smooth and had a more pronounced but still very pleasant smokiness. All-in-all a unique experience for people who are either a bit more adventurous, or already are knowledgeable appreciators of agave-based spirits.

Everything was delicious and authentic, nice atmosphere, good service and drinks. A little bit stiff attitude or vibe but all and all very good!
