Do not go there – It is very noisy. The margaritas: not that great. More margarita mix than what we expected. The food comes really fast, we had finish dinner in 45 minutes. The table next to us had their check before finishing having dinner !! and the other table had no chips and salsa or their beverages before their main course, maybe because it was saturday. Nevertheless our main courses were cold and no better than a taqueria we did not even go for desserts so disapointing. Maya maybe more expensive is still my favorite ... read more

Worth a Try – After reading the mixed reviews here, I was reluctant to go the first time. However, our food was perfect - everything from flavor/spices to presentation. I could really relate to the review with yummy description of the food in the Examiner (http://sfexaminer.com/articles/2005/12/14/eats/20051214_ea01_tres.txt). There was nothing missing in our service. The place is noisy, yes, but no more, perhaps less, than the Slanted Door at the Ferry Building, if you want to talk about noise. The ambiance overall is nothi... read more

Great place – I found the food very good and much "lighter" than your typical heavy and greasy Mexican food (not that that's a bad thing). The service was good considering the place had just opened up a few weeks earlier. The tequila is excellent. As for those who who complained that there were not enough selections of tequilas, they have 30 quality selections. I doubt most have drank more than 10. I don't know why people are so "hateful" in thier reviews. If you don't like it - fine - don't go back, but you don't have to wr... read more

Disappointing – Was looking forward to dining here as my husband and I are HUGE fans of Tommy's. I realize Tres Agaves is a totally different dining experience and so one should not compare, but... Julio is no Tommy. The margies are good, but significantly more expensive. While the carne asada and camerones al mojo de ajo are our favorite dishes at Tommy's, they fail to impress at Tres Agaves. "Family-style" sides are also not the case... unless you consider tea cup portions "family-style".

Best Flan Ever! – I wasn't impressed with my dinner, had the carnitas...it was a bit dry. But when I tried the flan, it was absolutely the best I've ever had, and I don't even like flan. They have a great selection of awesome tequilas, but their menu is confusing. I think they should have a separate tequila menu. Overall, I probably won't go back, but I would say give it a try, maybe I'm just being picky.

Don't Go Here! IT'S HORRIBLE! – This place was horrible. The worst $65 dinner I could have imagined. Save your money and go to the local burrito shop. I will cost you $50 less and taste much better. I have no idea how this place recieved any psoitive reviews. I ambience is nice, could be better (plastic booths and wooden benches), but the food is terrible and highly prices. The carnitas were burnt to a crisp, literally! The shrimp were average at best. This for two dishes that cost $16 and $17 respectively! I don't mind payi... read more

Business response:

Glad you liked the lighting! - Eric PS They are plastic booths to satisfy our friends at PETA.

Attentive Service and Good Food – I recently hosted a large group dinner at Tres Agaves. Although the restaurant was extremely busy, the staff was very attentive and totally on-top of our group. The food was very good and served in generous portions. The margaritas are potent and are made with top-shelf tequila. Bottomline: this restaurant is a great value by SF standards. Good food and very consistent. The staff is eager to please and attentive. You won't be disappointed.

Disappointing – If I could give this place half a star, I would. My experience there was so annoying that I just joined CitySearch to complain about it. My husband and I frequent Maya quite a bit, and expected top shelf Mexican food at Tres Agaves. We had reservations, and walked into the half-empty restaurant early on a Sunday night. The hostess sat us facing a small room where you could see bins of dirty dishes and trash, not exactly the most appetizing sight. Seeing other people's dirty dishes set the tone for the evening... read more

Overpriced and under-spiced – I live right by tres agave's and hoped and prayed it would be a great addition to the neighborhood. To be sadness I am still in search of a well prepared mexican meal. The food is totally in-correctly spiced and overpriced.
