Mexican Cuisine
Find both traditional and specialty Mexican dishes in Agave’s extensive menu, which features fresh, handmade corn tortillas, and vegetarian and gluten-free selections. Start your meal with one of the restaurant’s antojitos (appetizers), shrimp ceviches or caldos (soups). The caldo vegetariano mixes zeta mushrooms, chile guajillo, onion, fresh garlic and epazote in a vegetable broth. Organic produce and all-natural products are used in most of Agave’s dishes. Platos tradicionales include enchiladas and tamales, either rojo or verde. Tortas, or hot sandwiches, include choices like torta Hawaiiana and torta Ahogada, a carnitas-and-beans sandwich in a tomato-based chile sauce. Molcajete entrées are the house specialty. A molcajete is a Mexican version of a mortar, used to crush and grind spices and to prepare salsas and guacamole. Molcajetes include chicken or beef with cactus, green onions and cheese, or a vegetarian variety with zucchini, corn and cheese. Both are served in an herbed tomato sauce. Finish your meal with a traditional Mexican dessert like arroz con leche or fried ice cream, and don’t forget to try one of the restaurant’s specialty tequila drinks, made from the blue agave. The Aztecs believed the agave plant would comfort the souls of all who had lost someone dear to their hearts, and Agave offers a good meal and a good drink to comfort the soul. Open daily 11am–10pm. Happy hour Mon–Fri 3–6pm. Lounge: Thurs–Sat until 1:30am.
