A new elevated Mexican cuisine has landed in Pasadena. Agents Only by Pablo Salas, a casual bar/lounge concept that offers authentic Mexican flavors along with Agave spirit cocktails to pair well with your dishes.

Most popular dishes are Tuna Guacamole (fresh tuna tossed in our house-made macha sauce, fresh guacamole made to order) that serve as a perfect appetizer. As well as our mouthwatering Queso Fundido that comes with either corn or flour tortilla on the side; you can add wild mushrooms or chorizo to elevate the flavors more. Of course, don't forget to try our shrimp enchilada with creamy guajillo sauce as your main dish. These are just a few dishes to mention.

We can't wait for you to try!

I hadn’t heard of this spot previously and now I know why. Quite possibly the worst Mexican food I have ever had. I didn’t know chips could be bad, but they were stale and maybe even flour? Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else besides inside a rundown Marriott.

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food we ordered. The tortilla soup was flavorful and just the right spice level. We split shrimp fajitas and the vegetables were perfectly cooked and maintained their color.

This was our first time to come to Agents Only and it was an interesting but positive experience. We did not realize it is, simply put, a bar. We do love eating at bars but hadn't planned on it but it worked out perfectly. Our food was delicious and especially loved the Fundido is amazing and our friends who'd never had it before loved it too. We had the chopped salad, adding chicken and it was perfect and the guys had enchiladas. We enjoyed it very much though I think it'd be even better if they made it more "loungy" by adding banquets and some carpet to keep the sound down to a better level. We did have an issue when we ordered more Pinot Noir and no one let us know that they were out of it for 10 - 15 minutes. They only have one Pinot so it was really annoying....

Agents only is a bar/lounge/casual restaurant in the Dena Hotel in Pasadena. It’s rather small, on the somewhat plain side while still being sharp and appealing. The menu is rather limited, but the cuisine is sensational. I had Enchiladas Divorciadas with chicken and it was so flavorful and creative. The rice, beans and plantains were also delicious. They also have some salads, quesadillas and fajitas. Service is friendly and attentive. A simple place with some amazing Latin cuisine.

My wife and I became fans of this restaurant in our first visit. The nachos with chicken are the best my wife has ever had. In fact, on this occasion, in addition to an order I shared with my son at lunch, at my wife's request I took an order home to her. The food is fresh and tasty, well plated, with service that is friendly and prompt.

This is a cute little restaurant/bar. Well decorated. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Food was very good. The grilled wedge romaine was different & quite good. Nachos with chicken the same. Chicken enchiladas full of chicken , covers with two delicious sauces. Excellent cocktails.

Always a delightful experience! The cuisine was delicious, with steaks grilled to perfection, the lobster quesadilla was amazing and the churros sinful! The staff were very attentive and friendly. Ambiance and vibe relaxing and fun. Definitely a favorite.
