Agave Grill

Agave Grill has gradually taken over the space at the Casa de Tequila in central downtown. The location is lovely, in a beautiful garden setting within a classic hacienda-style building. They'll start you out with fresh salsa made at your table (spiced to your preference), and I suggest you follow this with an order of the pulpa (octopus) sautéed to tenderness in a delectable chile and garlic sauce. My favorite main courses include seafood enchiladas, and beef tenderloin prepared with mole. For a sweet finish, you'll love the chocolate "tamale" served with homemade vanilla ice cream. All tortillas and savory salsas are handmade. An elegant bar at the entry serves Vallarta's most original selection of fine tequilas, many from small distilleries. A three-course chef's tasting menu is also available.
