Being a foodie, everyone expects you to know every fabulous restaurant, every awesome chef, and virtually every hot spot. Talk about the pressure! Well, I’m a little disappointed in myself that I had no idea about Agave! Known as an eclectic southwestern eatery and tequila bar, it’s been a hot spot in Atlanta for over 15 years! Crazy; right! During this foodie adventure I invited some of my favorite bloggers Peachfully Chic, Happily Eating, and A Taste Of Our City to join me!
Well, since I found out about this awesome eatery, I have been back twice. Located in Cabbagetown, Agave has a fantastic southwestern menu with quality food, not to mention their pricing is very reasonable. It offers a very unique menu along with award-winning margaritas. You also have the option to pick from 100 wines and 100 tequilas from the bar. You will never run out of options at Agave!
They have won tons of awards and various accolades for their award-winning cuisine such as “Top 20 Restaurants in Atlanta” and “Atlanta Cuisine Top 50 Restaurants in Atlanta” featured in Jezebel Magazine.
The food is every bit as tasty as the menu descriptions, and the menu descriptions? Well, they promise spicy and savory southwestern flair of all variety. There are no microwaves or freezers on sight. If it’s not fresh, Agave doesn’t serve it!
