Agave Mexican Restaurant

Upscale Flavor in Downtown Lewes, but Something Was Missing While on a business trip to Lewes, Delaware, I was in the mood for Mexican and Agave came highly recommended, so I decided to give it a try. What I really enjoyed right away was the location. This isn’t along the main roadway or highway area that most people associate with Lewes, the more business-heavy stretch with fast food and chain spots. This is tucked into the charming downtown area near the canal, surrounded by neat little houses and a truly quaint, cool atmosphere. It’s a great setting for an evening out. Agave is definitely more of an upscale Mexican restaurant, and the interior reflects that. Stylish, clean, and thoughtfully designed. I took a few photos because the ambiance adds to the experience. One thing that surp

I just met a new friend at Agave in Lewes, and everything — the food, service, and atmosphere — was perfect! Since my reservation specified our visit was a date, the staff went out of their way to set us up with a super private and cozy table, which was great for our first chat. If you’re looking for something similar for a couple, you might want to ask for either of the two tables tucked into the bay windows on either side of the central front entrance on 2nd Street. Just make sure to leave the other one for us — Agave seems like it’s just as great for second and third dates! We really appreciate the thoughtful staff at the Lewes location for helping two new friends connect.

This was a fresh and exciting culinary journey. The dining area was stylish and inviting, and the atmosphere was vibrant and energetic. Oh, and the food was amazing! I had a steak burrito which was generously filled with a symphony of flavors and textures. The richness of the creamy queso expertly complemented the robust flavor of the perfectly grilled juicy steak. Agave is a wonderful, modern Mexican restaurant in the heart of Lewes.

The nachos are incredible. We thought we would be trying new things, but we had the best nachos of our lives.

Agave is a gem along the Route 1 corridor into the Delaware beaches. If you are looking for really great Mexican food and a beautifully decorated setting with Central American ambience, this is the place for you. My wife and I had the blue cheese and steak quesadillas, which were a refreshing take on an old classic, and the pupusas, a dish popularized in El Salvador, which we've had a few times in Central America, and these were as good as anything there. My absolute favorite dish, however, were the steak nachos served on a tray with homemade pickled jalapenos. This was some of the most tender steak I've ever had on a nacho platter. I am willing to go as far as saying that this is the best nacho appetizer I've ever had. I would go back just for the nachos. Great cocktails as well. While th
