Authentic Mexican food in Corolla, NC
Agave Roja is Corolla's destination for authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican food on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Founded in 2012 by two well-traveled owners, one a seasoned chef, what began as a tequila bar grew into the area's go-to spot for modern Mexican cooking, where the food more than lives up to the tequila list.
Our kitchen handcrafts everything: street-style tacos, sizzling fajitas, carne asada, carnitas, pollo asado, enchiladas, and chiles rellenos, alongside fresh coastal seafood like ceviche, camarones, and pescado veracruzano. The bar pours handcrafted margaritas, top-shelf tequilas, mojitos, sangria, and a deep list of Mexican beers.
Settle in for a relaxed sit-down meal with indoor and outdoor seating, order online for quick pickup, or let us cater your vacation rental, party, or event across Corolla, Duck, and the northern Outer Banks; from taco bars to full Mexican spreads. We're family-friendly and dog-friendly (outdoor seating), with free parking in Monteray Plaza.
Casual coastal cool and several notches above the typical Americanized Mexican spot, while staying true to the laid-back feel of Corolla.
