What Amy H doesn't like about Agave Cocina Tequila Issaquah Highlands:
Normally we love Agave. Today we arrived and immediately ordered. 50 min later we got the wrong order, cold!!! Grease soaked through tortillas due to sitting so long and a veg order had fish. And were told only then it was because they short staffed. Very poor service. Wow; maybe checking in during the wait would be good. But cold wrong food? Unacceptable. Will think twice about lunch here again. View all feedback. What OpenTable Diner likes about Agave Cocina Tequila Issaquah Highlands:
The waitstaff truly exceeded our expectations, and the food was absolutely delicious. However, the front-of-house staff was quite rude. They seemed to believe that they had stopped using OpenTable, so when I presented our reservation, they insisted that they didn’t take reservations and made the situation difficult before finally agreeing to seat us. I understand they were busy and didn’t anticipate a reserved party... View all feedback.

Fun spot to try a different take on Mexican food. Attentive staff, convenient location, modern look.
