Cinco de Mayo means 5th of May.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War.
At Agave you can also celebrate this day by having a Mexican buffet from 7pm to 9.30pm on the 5th of May with the Mariachi band performing that evening.
As a food blogger we were privileged to try their Cinco de Mayo dishes.
It was not my first time dining there because I have been there quite a few times for lunch if you have read reviews on this restaurant or my previous reviews.
I prefer the Cinco de Mayo selection because for lunch I always have to see if my favorite items are on the lunch set that day.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Nachos:
I did not eat nachos before because the ones I have had were really thick and hard, but the ones here were really thin and crispy covered with delicious cheese and sour cream.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bread sole fish:
The fish was soft and melts in your mouth with silky texture and with a wonderful selection of dips and sauces, the fish will taste delicious.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grilled chicken:
The chicken was tender and packed with lots of spices, for even more spicyness there are more dips available.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Marinated pork:
This was quite dry but it was still packed with flavours.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
chili con carne:
Compared to the one I had at lunch, it looks different because there are no beans in the dish and the beef looks pulled and not the minced version.Anyway, the taste was rich and full of spices which was nice.

prawn molcajetes:
The stone molcajetes pot was stunning and the metal spoon too making it a lovely rustic dish.I found it quite spicy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
spicy pork quesadillas:
I loved the pork quesadillas, there was cheese inside and the quesadillas was crisp and light complemented with delicious guacamole, sour cream and salsa.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sides and condiments:
Sides:There was Mexican rice, refried beans, corn tortillas, tortilla chips.
Condiments:
guacamole, tomato salsa, pineapple salsa, cucumber, lettuce, lime wedges, red radish, japaleno, chipotle, habanero, serano chili.
BEWARE of the Habanero sauce because it is very spicy.
There was tomatillo too which was not tomato.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Drinks:
There was ordinary Margarita and Frozen strawberry/Mango and margarita.I felt that the frozen one tasted better, especially the strawberry.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Desserts:
These were not on the buffet menu but we tried them as well.There was Flan De Naranja and Crepas con Cajeta, the flan was similar to thick cheesecake and was very sweet, but the Crepas was extremely delicious because the caramel taste was strong and creamy.
