Travel from sandusky to get these tacos on the regular. Amazing tacos and the staff has always been super welcoming. My husband has celiac disease and has never had a reaction as well.

A Flavorful Finale to a Beautiful Weekend – Agave & Rye, Cleveland, OH After an unforgettable weekend at the Lithuanian Song Festival in Cleveland, our stomachs reminded us it was time to eat—and fast. With a long drive back to New Jersey ahead of us, we needed something quick but satisfying. That’s when we discovered Agave & Rye, a spot that had great reviews and a creative taco menu that caught our attention. Though we wished we had time to sit and soak in the atmosphere of the restaurant, we had to settle for takeout. Still, the experience didn’t disappoint. Since it was our first time, we weren’t quite sure what to get—so we played it safe and went with variety: Taco Flight (3) x4 Chips & Queso Lemonade Buzz Box As I waited, Yavonne, one of the staff members, came over to let me know they were out of lemonade but could offer virgin margaritas instead—made in-house with their own mix. It sounded fun and refreshing, so I said yes. Not only was it a great call, but Yavonne even helped me carry our order to the car, where my wife and kids were waiting. Talk about service! The food? Absolutely out of this world. These were hands-down some of the best tacos we’ve ever had. Bold flavors, creative combos, fresh ingredients—and bonus: they offer gluten-free taco options! The virgin margaritas were a hit with everyone, especially the kids. It turned out to be a highlight of the trip 😄 Yvonne said they make their own margarita mix and it was really good, wishing I could have had a real margarita but it was refreshing especially went well with the tacos. If you’re ever in Cleveland and even remotely hungry, Agave & Rye is a must-visit. Whether you dine in or take out, you're in for something special.

I'm writing this a few hours after having eaten here with a friend. From the moment we stepped inside, the staff were phenomenal. We were greeted by the door and asked if we had ever been there before. They let us pick where we wanted to sit and ensured that we had drinks within the first few minutes of walking in the door. Our waiter was also extremely attentive. As soon as I mentioned that I have celiac disease, he informed me about the precautions they take and what on the menu would be safe for me to eat. He also mentioned possible accommodations if there was anything that wasn't explicitly marked Gluten Free on the menu (and a large portion of it was already marked gf!). I immediately knew I would be walking out of here without getting sick. When we ordered an appetizer for the table, they brought corn tortillas as an alternative to fried chips which were excellent. The dip almost put me in tears since it was so delicious! My main course was the blue corn enchiladas. It was scrumptious and the plating was beautiful! Honestly one of the best meals I've had in years. They knew exactly which dish was mine (gf) and which one was my friends (non-gf). Everyone was extremely kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. Arguably this was one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had, even when I didn't have dietary restrictions. I cannot recommend this place enough and I would give it 7/5 stars if I could.
