With a passion for family and food the Lujan sisters came together to open Agave Azul Kitchen & Tequila Bar in 2012. Their goal was to bring together a gathering of authentic Mexican home cooking that stuck to their roots. Their family originated from Zacatecas, Mexico and then came to Hughson, California to begin farming. With this heritage came recipes passed down from generation to generation. Food was the center of their life and growing up on a local farm allowed their family to cook at home with food grown on their land. Sandra and Gabby originally had the thought of opening Taqueria El Agave, but it quickly transformed into a full kitchen serving some of their favorite dishes such as pollo con crema y rajas. The unique thing about Agave Azul is their attention and focus to the quality of each of the ingredients that goes into their recipes and their commitment to never sacrificing on quality home grown ingredients.

    We had a great time. They sat us early. Our waiter Ken and bus boy were great! So was the manager or gentleman that seated us and gave us our bills. Food was wonderful. I had the crab sandwich and my girlfriends had the butter lettuce salad. They got us out in time for our show too!

    I get together with a good girlfriend of mine once a month and had picked EOS & Nyx this months. The staff was truly helpful for our first time. They explained that the restaurant is California based with Mediterranean. The appetizers were superb! We loved the complimentary caviar and small drink. The burger was the best burger we had ever tried! We were so stuffed. Staff also explained the cocktails and they were so refreshing and good. This was an amazing experience. It only got busier in the night and it took a while to get our check. But this definitely is a really beautiful place to dine with great company.
