Agaves Mexican Grill

Agaves Mexican Grill is Gerardo Jaime’s seafood-forward Mexican restaurant in Olathe — opened April 2026 in the former Salty Iguana space at Ridgeview Marketplace. Jaime’s family has operated restaurants in the KC metro since the early 1990s; Agaves is his own concept, focused on dishes like whole fried mojarra, fried octopus, and surf-and-turf.

Description

Agaves Mexican Grill is Gerardo Jaime’s standalone Mexican restaurant — a seafood-forward concept that opened in Olathe’s Ridgeview Marketplace in April 2026, taking the space that Salty Iguana vacated roughly a year earlier. Jaime comes from a family with deep Kansas City metro restaurant roots: his family has operated multiple restaurants in the KC area since the early 1990s, including El Maguey locations, and Jaime is now putting that three-decade experience into his own concept. Agaves distinguishes itself through its seafood emphasis — whole fried mojarra, fried octopus, and surf-and-turf preparations that go well beyond the standard KC Mexican restaurant menu. The Ridgeview Marketplace location puts Agaves in one of the Johnson County corridors underserved by independent Mexican operators, filling a gap between the chain-heavy Olathe dining scene and the more locally-rooted SW Boulevard corridor in KCMO.
