As other reviewers have said, this is not really Mexican food, or Tex-Mex, or NewMex-Mex, or anything that exists outside of Hong Kong. That doesn't mean it can't be good, but in this instance it is in fact not good. Across the street is Coyote, and while I have my complaints about Coyote, it is in an entirely different, better league than Agave. You should not go here.Pictured here are the "enchiladas verdes." I put that in scare quotes because these are not enchiladas. Enchiladas are en-chilie
Pictured here are the "enchiladas verdes." I put that in scare quotes because these are not enchiladas. Enchiladas are en-chilied: the tortillas have been dipped in chili sauce. That's what the name means. This did not happen. In fact, if you look closely at the picture, you'll see that they didn't even put sauce on top of the "enchiladas." It's on the plate. The effect of this is that the tortillas aren't tender and falling apart, as in real enchiladas, but firm and crispy and hard to manage with a knife and fork.Second, look at the cheese-- there's hardly any of it. The chicken inside was OK, but it didn't seem to be cooked in the verde sauce, but rather some sweet red sauce. I suspect the chicken is pre-cooked and goes in any dish with chicken in it; for the enchiladas, they roll it up in tortillas, sprinkle a meagre amount of cheese on top, stick it in the broiler for a few minutes, and then put it on a plate with some tasteless green sauce. Voila: baked tacos. D
I won't hate on the rice and beans. They were pretty flavorless, but that's a minor sin when you're comparing them to the enchiladas they come with. C
I don't know the name of this dish. It starts with an "M," but it wasn't on Wikipedia's list of Mexican dishes, so I can't be sure it's even a real thing. I'd like to trust that it was, but...Anyway, it's chipotle sauce with melted cheese and some beef chunks, and it comes with corn tortillas. Kind of like a queso dip with beef in it. And light on the queso. Anyway, the sauce was reasonably flavorful, but too thin to go on tortillas. The beef was in big chunks, and fairly chewy; we had to cut it up in slices to eat it in the tortillas. It comes with the dry rice, but not the bland beans. C+
As I said before, Coyote is across the street. It's not great or anything, but it does have enchiladas that are actually enchiladas. This place? C-

$525 for the food and two margaritas.
