Agave Grill

Agave Grill has gradually taken over the space at the Casa de Tequila in central downtown. The location is lovely, in a beautiful garden setting within a classic hacienda-style building. Start with fresh salsa made at your table (spiced to your preference), and follow with the pulpo (octopus) sautéed to tenderness in a delectable chile and garlic sauce. My favorite main courses include seafood enchiladas, and beef tenderloin prepared with mole. For a sweet finish, you'll love the chocolate "tamal" served with homemade vanilla ice cream. All tortillas and savory salsas are handmade. An elegant bar serves . . .
