Tinga Taco
The tinga tacos are the best deal in town! They always taste amazing, and you can't beat the happy hour price.
Cucumber Margarita
Incredibly refreshing and not too sweet. By far my favorite drink :-)
Churro Sundae
Where do you start. A churro is like pizza. Even a bad piece of pizza really isnt bad because you have pizza, right? Well, this is like having a churro while riding a unicorn through vanilla ice cream and whipped cream clouds. Its heavenly. The churros are perfectly cooked and crunchy on the outside with the soft middle. The vanilla ice cream compliments the sauce perfectly, because lets be honest. The churros are the first to be eaten. Its definitely a decadent way to end your dinner and cleanse your palate at the same time.
Arizona Prickly Pear
Fabulous restaurant! Will definitely go back! Highly recommend the Prickly Pear drink - so good!
Tinga Chicken Quesadilla
This was my first time at Cien Agaves and didn't know what to expect food wise. Staff was very attentive, very pleasant and just a great group with an up beat attitude. When I was served the Tinga Chicken Quesadilla, it came out looking like it should only be served at a high end establishment. Wow was it phenomenal in taste. Great happy hour prices and over all the main menu prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend that you check them out. I'll be returning again with friends and family.
Kahlua Flan
This was the best Flan that I have had!. The flan had the best flavor and was very refreshing. I can 't wait to return.
Dos Tacos Especial
Date night with my wife. I ordered the the Dos Tacos Especial, one with Island Shrimp and the other with Tecate Fish. The Island Shrimp was my favorite with all the flavors hitting your tastebuds. This was the best shrimp taco that I have ever tried. The bad news was with the Tecate Fish taco. The flavors fell flat and I would never order this again. But wait, while looking at the pictures of this dish, I noticed that my fish taco was missing the Baja Sauce and Spicy Mango Salsa. WHAT!!! The Black Beans came out piping hot and the rice was perfect. Our server Melissa was personable and attentive.
Pollo Asado Taco
Absolutely GREAT service, food, and drinks, for our 1st time here!!!! 💯💯 Our server Savannah was so sweet, informative, efficient, and completely AWESOME with our littles!!!! After talking w/our 2 yr old Granddaughter, she made sure to make feel so special, as she talked of our 4 month old Granddaughter!!!! POLLO & CARNE ASADA IS SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!
Tostadas
Most amazing short rib tostadas I have ever had!
Fajita Bowl
This has become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area! They have lots of good vegetarian options like the fajita bowl, salads, and tacos. I'm also a huge fan of their chips and salsa and drink specials. The service has always been top notch as well. I can't recommend it enough!
Old Town Burrito
My husband has gotten this burrito quite a few times and has said great things! It's always looked really tasty and packed full of delciousness.
Churro Sundae
OMG the churro sundae is so good. Just do it, you won't be dissapointed. And it's complementary on birthdays!
Beets by Cien
This dish might not be the first thing the think to get at a Mexican resturant but it's surprisingly really good! The golden beets ar great. Glad we tried it. It's especially a good choice if you're looking for a healthier option.
Habanero Salsa
Their housemade salsa is the best ever!
Homemade Guacamole
The guacamole is seriously so good. Not sure what's in it but it's so flavorful and the best I've ever tried. They top it with pomegranate seeds which gives it a refreshing kick. Half off on happy hour, highly recommend.
Cien-A-Rita
Best margarita in town! $5 on Happy Hour?!? It just can't be beat. Definitely a must at Cien Agave.
Green Chile Cheese Crisp
Excellent cheese crisp! Only in Arizona will you find cheese crisps and at Cien Agaves you'll find an excellent one!
Tinga Chicken Quesadilla
We have been Arizona residents since 1974; have witnessed and experienced so many Arizona focused Mexican food restaurants throughout this state since then. Being a food critic for one evening led us to know without hesitation that our Tinga Chicken Quesadilla here at Cien Agaves was by far (not even a close second) the most INCREDIBLE and DELICIOUS Quesadilla we have EVER tasted! Not to stop there, this restaurant group is AWESOME! FANTASTIC menu items, drink options, beautiful ambiance, and decor, and a top notch, professional team of associates at each location makes your experience here an AMAZING one! WE will NEVER eat at another Mexican focused restaurant again, and neither should YOU!
Red Sangria Made Fresh
We always hit up happy hour before a movie. Love the Red Sangria. Always full of juicy fruit to enjoy. Goes great with just about any appetizer. See you again this Friday!
Tinga Chicken Quesadilla
My husband and I have been going to the old town location for years. We were so happy to have the new north Scottsdale location open. It is a frequent spot for us to stop in and have dinner if traffic is horrible. The every day happy hour makes the tinga chicken quesadilla taste even better, if that's possible! The chicken is seasoned perfectly, there is always an abundance of cheese and meat in every one. I love dipping it in their hot sauce! If you haven't tried it yet and are on the fence, don't be. I've converted several work people to believers as well!
Island Shrimp Taco
Cien Agave happy hour is a weekly staple for us! The food is great, staff always so kind and drinks are strong. Love the live music some nights as well! Favorite Mexican restaurant of ours.
Fajita Salad
Some of the best Mexican food I have had since moving to Arizona. The chips and Guacamole were exceptional as well, and to wash it all down with some tequila... well nothing can beat that. I will definitely be returning in the future.
Enchilada Especial
This place is like a sports bar, but much more quieter. We were watching the Trailblazers v Warriors while waiting for our food. My wife loves Mexican food and since we had a gift card we decided to try this place. This entree is how my wife judges how good a restaurant is by trying their enchiladas. The meal was satisfying, quantity was perfect and not greasy. The flavors were better than most other restaurants that she has tried. She gives this place a THUMBS UP. We'll be back.
Island Shrimp Taco
Amazing! Such a fresh taste! Very filling. Did I mention they have the best margaritas!!
Fajita Bowl
Fajita Bowl is my favorite hands down make mine a surf turf (shrimp/salad) with avoid beer. The times I have been there I have had very good service (ie servers /greeters) I have also had a Manager walk around and chat with the customer which put a nice spin on the evening 😊 Great Job and Keep up the good work . Do you every think to bring a location to the Chandler/Gilbert location
Fajitas
You will not get better fajitas anywhere else in the valley than at cien agave. The steak is the best
Homemade Guacamole
simple ingredients - fresh - healthy - delicious
Tinga Taco
I really like their crunchy tacos. They have a nice crunch to them!
Ceviche
Got this dish on happy hour and no surprise- it was great! Highly recommend.
Tinga Taquitos
These taquitos are really good. The tinga chicken has great flavor and it comes with their delicious guacamole.
Fajitas
My husband gets the fajitas everytime we go and they always look and smell amazing. You get a good amount of meat with the sauteed vegetables.
Fajita Bowl
The fajita bowl is another favorite of mine. So tasty! It has rice, beans, guac, vegetables, and protein of your choice- delish!
Enchilada Especial
BEST ENCHILADAS EVER! I have tried enchiladas all over the valley and NOTHING compares to Cien Agaves enchiladas. I get the chicken enchiladas with red sauce and they are so delicious and fresh tasting. At so many resturants the enchiladas have a ton of grease, but not at Cien Agave. They are topped with diced tomato, queso fresco and a drizzle of sour cream. It's nicely presented and not sloppy. They are so good, I get them almost everytime!
