Why go

About Agave
Agave is a Noord dinner option with a limited published schedule: it is open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday from 5:30–11 PM, closed Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. The dress code is casual.
Use it for a planned dinner, not a high-stakes meal
The schedule points to dinner service on select evenings, which makes Agave more useful for a planned night out than for a flexible lunch or all-day stop. If timing matters, check the current opening days before you go.
For a meal where the food identity, price level, or occasion fit needs to be clear before committing, compare Agave with Da Vinci, Patrizia's of Aruba, or The Vue Rooftop. Agave is the more cautious choice when the facts you need are mainly schedule and dress code.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Agave sits on J.E. Irausquin Boulevard where the western edge of the street opens onto the Caribbean; the review emphasizes how early-evening light shifts from white to amber and how venues on this strip are intentionally arranged to reap that effect. The restaurant’s name — a direct nod to the agave plant and, by extension, mezcal and tequila — signals a Mexican or bar-forward identity, so patrons can expect a combination of sunlit waterside ambiance and spirited, flavor-forward offerings. The location’s waterside orientation plays as large a role in the experience as the kitchen does.
Best For
This spot is tailored to visitors who prize setting as much as food: the boulevard’s density of resorts and beach access draws travellers with limited nights and higher expectations, making Agave a logical pick for an evening out. The write-up frames the venue as part of a curated dining corridor where planning a meal matters, so it’s well suited to groups and families who want a lively waterfront backdrop. Given the emphasis on sunset light and the Caribbean-facing position, the restaurant performs especially well for dinner occasions.
Ordering Tips
Signature items called out for Agave include fajitas, guacamole, queso con chile and vegan tacos, which indicate a menu that balances classic Mexican shares with plant-based options. The venue’s name connects to mezcal and tequila culture, so diners who are deciding between a food-led meal and a drink-forward night should consider that either approach is plausible here. If you’re visiting at dusk, reserve a spot with a water-facing vantage to combine the sunset setting with the kitchen’s highlights.

Restaurant context
How Agave compares in Noord
Agave is the safer choice when reservation ease matters and the group wants a planned dinner without chasing a high-demand table. Da Vinci is the better cross-shop if the meal needs a more formal dinner feel, while Patrizia's of Aruba makes more sense for groups that want a familiar, comfort-driven sit-down format.
For ambiance, The Vue Rooftop is the obvious alternative when the view is part of the occasion. MooMba Beach Bar & Restaurant is better for a casual beach-bar mood, Drunken Burger is the lower-commitment option when value and speed matter more than a special-occasion setting.
Bottom line: choose Agave for an easier, more deliberate dinner slot; choose The Vue Rooftop for scenery, MooMba for beach energy, Patrizia's of Aruba for group comfort, Da Vinci for a more formal comparison, Drunken Burger when the night calls for something casual.
