We offer traditional Mexican cuisine including 10 different tacos all made from scratch when you order. Our menu is diverse offering something for everyone.

Our Margaritas are made with fresh squeezed limes, simple syrup made in house and premium 100% blue agave tequilas. Our restaurant is located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. The ambiance is casual and upbeat featuring artwork by Moises, a local prominent Mexican-American Artist. Cien Agaves features 2 separate dining rooms, 2 bars and a patio for outside dining. We're open daily for lunch, dinner and late night dining.
"Tried this joint after finding a travelzoo deal and looking at Yelp and Trip Advisor. Was pleasantly surprised to find excellent quality and quantity of food. The margaritas were excellent. A little too sweet for me personally, but very much above average for a restaurant margarita. Many different flavors and variations to choose from. We had the tostadas, beef enchilada with red sauce, tinga chicken taco, taco al pastor. All very good. Only thing to improve on would be the flour tortilla."

"Don't be deceived by the look of this place. The tacos are great and this local gem should not be missed. Enjoyed everything that I had ordered, albeit I ordered too much. I recommend trying the tacos and try your hand at several different types as they are uniquely different. Nice for a casual night out if you are in the Scottsdale area on vacation. In the middle of Old Town where the stores close at 7 so do some shopping before you eat, otherwise you will miss that."

"Just average. Nothing bad, but if you are looking for something special this is not the place. On their happy hour menu, the only margarita on happy hour is the house one, which is average at best."

"If you like great Mexican food and top flight tequila this is the place for you. Been here several times and the food and service are always great. Have been twice with a large party and our table was always ready. Our last visit our server apologized when our dessert was taking a while and comped us without us even asking. They have every tequila imaginable and have tasting flights if you want to try different types. All in all a great spot."

"Seated our part of 8 without a problem. Place could use a deep clean and a tortilla chip warmer as the chips were cold. Overall good service, great tacos and a nice margarita list."

"Food and service were fine, but nothing over the top? Be careful though! They seem to play some games with open table reservations. I checked in for my reservation and 5 minutes affter leaving they cancelled my booking. I called the restaurant and they advised they'd reverse this, but didn't. To get my points, I had to email open table!"

"We came in on Valentine's day for a low key dinner. We had fajitas and margaritas which were yummy! Our server was quick and attentive. It was a good experience overall, and I would definitely go back."
