Agave Grill

Coming from central Florida, and having visited Mexico, my standards for Mexican food are high. I love Tex-Mex and I think Agave Grill strikes a solid balance between a relatively authentic experience and a more Americanized experience. Good selection of Mexican beers, and solid salsa/guacamole. Flavors in the meat and rice were somewhat subdued but the service was fantastic. I was impressed with the staff’s effectiveness and flexibility as we waited for the rest of our party. One complaint I could make was their unwillingness to split our party of 9 into two checks. While I understand how annoying it can be to split checks, it’s usually wise for a business to make the processes behind money-collecting as flexible as possible.

I've been in Hartford for three nights and I've had two meals here. The beef tacos and the spicy shrimp quesadillas. Both were absolutely amazing. This is the first place I'll head to when I come back. Great food and drink.

Went on a Saturday night with reservations just to make sure. We were going to the King Tut exhibit after. There were four of us and we all ordered different things. The food was so so. Nothing authentic or special about it. We had a tequila flight and they didn't even pour it where we could identify what we were actually drinking.... the table was a high top and we were very cramped. Too close to the wall on one side where you couldn't move and the other side was constantly getting bumped in the back from the people at the next high top.... music and people were so loud that we all had difficulty hearing our own party but worse still we had no idea what our waiter was saying most of the time won't be rushing back any time soon.
