Agave Mexican Restaurant
2007 Readers' Choice: Best Mexican Food. Craft-filled, pink stucco palace, part Antonio Gaudi, part Diego Rivera, and easily one of the most impressive off-Strip restaurants. Imaginative south-of-the-border fare like barbecued duck quesadillas and shrimp and crab enchiladas. Impressive tequila list is by Eduardo Gonzales from Cabo, brought to Vegas especially for this.

This is an upscale Mexican restaurant in terms of both decor and menu. We were served a colorful basket of warm tortilla chips along with 3 salsas. We shared a bowl of black bean and smoked cheddar soup that was finished with a spoonful of salsa fresca and cilantro. Ms. Westie ordered the shrimp and crab stacked enchiladas with sweet corn and chili sauce and micro greens. I opted for the taco sampler -- birria de chivo (marinated goat, avocado puree, cilantro and onion), carnitas with nopales salsa and tomato puree and fresh fish with Mexican slaw and salsa fresca. The kitchen made a mistake preparing carne asada (grilled skirt steak) instead of the carnitas, not a problem since all 3 tacos were delicious. When I brought the mistake to the waiter's attention, he offered to bring me an additional taco, but I was satiated and waived him off. I used a restaurant.com gift certificate.

I went here for the happy hour and the proximity to my house. While I found the $5 house margaritas not very cheap for a happy hour, my friends and I ordered a round anyway. The coolest part about the drink was the glass it came in. One friend found the taste sweet, while I found them average.
I ordered the Blue Chicken Enchilada. All in all the food tasted okay.
My problem with Agave came the next morning. This is no joke, my stool for the day was bright green. At first I thought I was having a medical emergency. Then my friend who also ate there said he had the same thing. We both had green poo from Agave. We contributed it to the die in the black tortilla chips they serve. So if you go here, avoid the black chips.

We started off with complimentary blue and corn tortilla chips plus a pair of tasty salsas and a mediocre bean dip. Our entrees were shrimp and crab stacked enchiladas - Dungeness crab with Mexican white shrimp, sweet corn-guajillo chile enchilada sauce and micro-greens. The enchiladas were very good.
