Agave & Rye in Covington is a full sensory experience in the best way. The decor is wildly eclectic and colorful, like it was designed by someone who said “yes” to every idea and somehow made it work. The atmosphere is cool, lively, and just chaotic enough to feel fun instead of stressful.
The menu is clearly the work of a very creative stoner with ADHD, because it contains pretty much every taco combination imaginable. You’ll read it three times, laugh, get hungry, then realize you want five things at once. Mission accomplished.
Staff is super friendly, the full bar does not mess around, and the whole place feels like it’s daring you not to have a good time. Come hungry, come curious, and maybe don’t rush your order

Parking is paid street or garage parking. If you don’t need parking go get a job you need a car.
The food was great very tasty without overpowering the all the flavors with heat. We had like like 10 tacos and each one was a different flavor combination that worked.
The service was excellent, we were catching up with friends and trying to understand the menu so it took a little while with all the choices, but drinks were quick and recommendations were solid.
The atmosphere was OK but we didn’t really notice it too much which we felt was good because it didn’t detract from our meet up.
Give this review a like or mark as helpful❤️, then stop in and see the folks at shave and rye for some great tequila(or bourbon) and some delicious food.

We were just visiting the area and this place was where we ended up eating. Atmosphere – ✔️ Service – ✔️ Food – not just check, Outstanding!! The selection of tacos is insane, and it may be hard to decide. I would say this place is a must visit if you are in the area!

My wife and I recently enjoyed a fantastic lunch order from Agave & Rye via DoorDash. We were absolutely blown away by the quality.
The highlight of our meal was definitely the ‘Pick 3 Tacos.’ They are truly deserving of the title “epic.” Each one was packed with unique, vibrant flavor combinations and felt perfectly constructed. Getting to choose three different options was ideal for sampling their creative menu—it was the perfect, satisfying lunch portion AND we still had leftovers for dinner!
We also ordered a few of their dips to start. They were delicious and fresh which were a great complement to the bold flavors of the tacos.
If you’re looking for a fun and elevated take on tacos, Agave & Rye is the place! Highly recommend checking them out! We can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Walking by I decided to give it a try because it’s always busy and that’s a good sign. The server was friendly and genuine. The food was different with multiple varieties of tacos. I enjoyed the adventure I will be back.

Tried this place for the first time last night for date night. My girlfriend had been here before and enjoyed it, so we decided to give it a shot.
We arrived around 8 PM on a busy Saturday night. They took our name and quoted a 30-minute wait, which wasn’t a problem—we grabbed a drink at a nearby bar while we waited. When our table was ready, we were seated in an overflow dining area next door. The decor and ambiance were similar to the main restaurant, so no complaints there.
Service started off fine but declined pretty quickly. There were about seven tables in our section, plus a bar area. One of the tables was a large group, but they were already finished eating when we walked in and left shortly after. So not a lot of folks on our side.
We ordered drinks, chips and queso, and our entrées. The drinks came out quickly and were good, and the chips and queso followed soon after. The queso itself was just okay—nothing memorable, but a decent snack while waiting for our main dishes.
For my meal, I ordered a taco flight with the Plain Jane, the Happy Pappy, and the Filthy Fajita. The Plain Jane was the best of the three, but still nothing special. The Happy Pappy was just okay—the carnitas were a bit dry. The Filthy Fajita, however, was straight-up bad. The steak was so tough I had to spit it out, and I ended up removing it from the taco entirely. On top of that, I could tell my tacos had been sitting for a while based on how the queso had hardened—definitely not ideal.
My girlfriend ordered the Birria Ramen (which we heard is being removed from the menu soon) and the Becky taco. The ramen was pretty good—not the best birria we’ve had, but it got the job done. Thankfully, she had a better taco experience than I did—she really enjoyed The Becky.
The wait for our food was long, but given how busy they were (and the time needed to cook the ramen), it was somewhat understandable. What wasn’t understandable was how long it took to get our check once we finished eating. By this point, the room had mostly emptied out, but despite our server clearly seeing that we were done, we sat for what felt like forever waiting to pay. It felt like we were on their time, which was frustrating.
All in all, this place won’t be getting a return visit from me. The service was subpar, and the food wasn’t worth the $80 tab. For that price, I know we could have had a much better meal—and experience—somewhere else.
