Agave Grill

Frommer's Review

Opening its doors in late 2004, Agave Grill took over most of the space at the Casa de Tequila in central downtown. It's located in a beautiful garden setting in the back, within a classic hacienda-style building. The space has been put to excellent use: This cafe serves modern, casual Mexican cuisine and is an ideal spot to stop for a snack or a margarita while shopping. Start with an order of chiles anchos, stuffed with cream cheese and raisins, or the antojitos mexicanos, a sampler of Mexican snacks including sopes, quesadillas, a tamal, and guacamole. Favorite main courses include chichilo negro, a bone-in filet of beef with Oaxaca smoked mole, or the duck tacos in a pipián chile sauce. For a sweet finish, don't miss their tequila foam with chocolate sauce served with churros. All tortillas are handmade, as are the savory salsas. An elegant bar borders the room, serving undoubtedly Vallarta's most original selection of fine tequilas, many from small distilleries. In addition to the tequilas and fresh fruit margaritas, Agave Grill also serves a selection of fine Mexican wines.
