Agave Mexican Restaurant

Let’s remain entirely objective about Agave. There is no need for emotional exaggeration; here are the documented facts of this establishment. **Fact 1: The Taco Regime.** They operate under a rigid, militaristic policy regarding taco distribution. The menu clearly states in aggressive red font: "NO MIX AND MATCH." Do not arrive expecting a whimsical tasting flight of varying meats. You will select one of the fourteen options, you will receive four identical soft corn tortillas, and you will live with the consequences of your choice. **Fact 2: The Moisture Tariff.** Additional structural moisture costs exactly $3.00. If you wish to make your $14 Burrito Fajita "wet" with green sauce, red sauce, or cheese dip, you must pay the hydration fee. It is a straightforward financial transaction: you provide three dollars, and your food becomes wet. **Fact 3: The Walnut Cream Incident.** There is an $18 item called Chile en Nogada. It involves a roasted poblano pepper stuffed with ground beef, pork, apples, raisins, and pecans, which is then covered in a walnut cream sauce and pomegranate seeds. I am not passing judgment; I am simply reporting the physical reality of what they are assembling in their kitchen. Consume at your own risk. **Fact 4: Operating Hours.** They are closed on Sundays. If you show up on the Lord's day expecting a $46 pitcher of prickly pear cactus margarita, you will simply be staring at a locked door in a St. Pete Beach parking lot. The transaction was completed exactly as the laminated menu dictated. No more, no less.

Loved this spot! Casual & good! Staff is knowledgeable, courteous, down to earth. Great margaritas. And -- it's not on menu, but if you ask for a burrito 'wet' it will be slathered in delicious sauce. Prices were great, too! (Burritos are on menu, lol. Just not the wet option!)

We walked by this restaurant on our first night in the area and we decided to come here on the second night. We arrived around 5:30 pm and walked right in. But the king started to form right behind us. The drinks were delicious. Wife got the enchilada and daughter got the fish taco. Both said they were good. I wanted steak and shrimp so I’d ordered the fajitas combo with steak and shrimp for $28. Expecting lots of meat and Shrimp but what came out was lots of onions and veggies I was still hungry so had to order the dessert to fill up. The churros were good but better if you order the ice scream. Service was good for a busy restaurant. Keep your eyes out for the added tip within the receipt.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food look no further. Agave was a nice surprise. The food was fresh and delicious. The margaritas were amazing...get the pitcher it is worth it!! All of the food was top notch. The fajitas were big enough to share. The trio appetizer is a MUST. Servers were attentive and friendly. We will definitely be going back here. Worth a trip from no matter how far.
