El Agave Azul is located in our favorite food districts in Richmond, where so many delicious burrito artists create their foil-wrapped art in the North & East, Tacos El Tucan, Mi Casa Grill, 3 Hermanas, Taqueria La Bamba, Angel’s Restaurant, Mi Casita Mariscos food truck and the best of the La Flor de Jalisco food truck which is parked on the El Agave Azul property.
El Agave Azul occupies a peculiar spot in Richmond’s culinary landscape. From the front window, diners can see La Flor de Jalisco food truck, while the view across the street includes a tire shop.
El Agave Azul, located on San Pablo Avenue, opened its doors in 2019, occupying the space that once housed the beloved local institution Gonzales Restaurant.
For longtime Richmond residents, this transition carries emotional weight. Gonzales wasn’t just a restaurant, it was a community gathering place where civic organizations held meetings and families celebrated milestones for decades. Why did it take so long to finally visit El Agave Azul? Maybe we were holding a grudge…
