🏆 A Little History on Agave & Rye
Agave & Rye launched in 2018 with a mission to bring bold, edgy energy to the taco scene—and they nailed it. What started in Covington, Kentucky quickly grew into a multi-location brand with restaurants across several states, including right here in Centerville, Ohio.
Their claim to fame? “Epic tacos” that are over-the-top in flavor, size, and creativity. They blend fine-dining techniques with street-style flair, all served up in a space filled with street art, chandeliers, and unapologetic personality. Whether it’s their playful take on birria or their wild cocktails garnished with mouth-numbing flowers, Agave & Rye isn’t here to blend in—they’re here to stand out.
🎨 Epic Atmosphere
The vibe hits you the second you walk in. The bold graffiti art, crystal chandeliers, and whimsical decor (yes, there’s a full-size zebra!) create a space that’s part edgy, part elegant. It’s loud, fun, and totally unforgettable.
🔥 The Food: Tacos That Mean Business
We started with the chips trio—queso, guac, and salsa. Creamy, zesty, and bold. A solid way to set the tone.
Then came the tacos. We ordered a few different ones, including:
- Plain Jane – Classic but loaded. Ground beef, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato. Great if you want to keep it simple.
- Birria Tacos – Served with consommé for dipping, these were juicy, rich, and packed with flavor.
The tacos are seriously massive—like, almost-too-big-to-hold massive—but that’s part of the fun.
🍹 Don’t Forget the Drinks
We tried a couple of cocktails, but the real highlight? That little yellow flower they give you—the buzz button (also known as the Szechuan or electric daisy). You pop it in your mouth and instantly feel a tingle that numbs your tongue and makes your drink taste extra wild. It’s such a cool and unexpected twist.
💬 Final Thoughts
Agave & Rye is bold, loud, and unapologetically different—and we’re into it. The food is over-the-top in the best way, and the atmosphere is just as much a part of the experience as the menu.
If you’re looking for something fun, flavorful, and full of surprises, head to Agave & Rye Centerville. And yes, eat the flower.
