Reviews for Ancho & Agave in Bloomington, IL
Best place to hangout with friends and family! Food was awesome! Kung Pao chicken taco, Chicken Quesadilla and the Baja fish... taco are must try dishes. We also tried the Tres Leches cake which was amazing by its looks and taste too. Finally, don’tforget to try the twisted-rita, one of the best margaritas to try here! Read more
Unique menu and glad I ate there. Let me say the ancho salsa is to die for as witnessed by my wife as I packed up the leftovers... and kept eating the chips & salsa. Our server was fantastic and helped with menu suggestions. I had 3 tacos (fried fish,grilled shrimp, pork belly) all were good but none pushed me over the top. Also had the tamale cornbread side and was verydisappointed, way too much going with it. Overall, I probably won't be back with so many other choices in BLM Read more

I am blown away by how amazing this restaurant is! The food and the service were top notch! Alexa was an amazing waitress. As... far as the food goes, we didn’t have a bite we didn’t like. But, go for the coconut shrimp appetizer and the Armstrong quesoappetizer. As a man from Texas, I know a good queso when I find one. We also got the tacos and the Kung Pao and Chicken Asadawere our favorites. For dessert, the tres leches and churros are delicious. 5 stars!! We will definitely be back. Read more
First time visiting here and certainly won’t be the last! Went with my girlfriend on Valentine’s day weekend for dinner. We... did make a reservation because it’s always busy here on weekends(for good reason). To start they bring out some of the bestchips and salsa you’ll have anywhere. Chips are thick, crispy, and warm (and bottomless). They paired well with two of theirmargaritas, both of which were light and flavorful. Can’t wait to have them in summer out on their patio area. For mains Ihad three tacos. All were delicious and full of flavors. You order them individually and they have 10+ options, so you can getas many/as few as you want while being able to mix and match. My girlfriend got the Veggie Fajitas; you could hear and smellthem long before you could see them. They came out sizzling. A nice variety of vegetables along with tortillas and sides ofsauces. The queso is particularly good, bring light and flavorful, unlike the congealed goopy stuff you get at otherrestaurants. We let full and eager to come back. The restaurant has a great vibe on the inside, and the nature of the food anddrinks makes it very appealing for either a sit down meal, or a visit to the bar for drinks and ala-carte guacamoles or tacos.Even the waiting area is nicely set up with chairs and tables to enjoy food/drink while waiting for a table. On top of all this,prices are no more than anywhere else in the area. If you’re looking for fresh, delicious Mexican food and drink in the area,this is the place you should go!! Read more
This was the first time for our party of four and we were not disappointed! We had a 6:30pm reservation and we arrived an hour... early to sit and visit in the bar area. The restaurant has a cool vibe - we loved the decor. The bar tender was very attentive- we had two pitchers of the signature margaritas, chips, salsa, and queso - everything was delicious - we got filled up beforeour meal. They seated us at 6:30 - the time of our reservation. All four of us got the street tacos and they were alldifferent and amazing! I was surprised that my favorite was the sweet potato street taco! We will definitely go back! Ihighly recommend calling ahead to get a reservation and to go hungry! Read more
Honestly, these were probably the worst tacos I’ve ever had. I was very excited for the Al Pastor, but when it came out it... looked like mush. I also ordered the crispy Baja fish taco and the Nashville hot. They were both very underwhelming. The foodwas VERY bland and lukewarm. It was not busy when we went, so I’m not sure why our food wasn’t hot. The drinks were kindadisappointing too. Aside from the lackluster food, the table that we were seated at had crumbs everywhere and the cups did notlook clean. Despite our disappointing experience, our server was nice. For the price ($70 w/ tip) I can’t say that I aminterested in trying this place again. Read more
