Agave Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Florence

Agave Mexican Grill: Where the Birria Heals Your Soul and the Modelo is Ice-Cold Perfection

Let me tell you something right now: if you’re in Florence and not eating at Agave Mexican Grill, you’re living a life of regret.

First of all — THE GLASSES. I ordered a Modelo, and they brought it out in a frozen chalice sent straight from the heavens. I’m not talking “kinda cold.” I’m talking so frosty it gave me goosebumps just looking at it. I took one sip and had to sit down again — even though I was already sitting.

Then came the birria tacos. Oh. My. Taco. I took one bite and started reevaluating my life decisions. The meat was tender like it had been slow-danced into submission. The consommé?

The rice and beans were amazing and their complementary chips and salsa was fantastic. I don’t like spicy salsa so it was perfect for me and my grandparents who like a more mild salsa. It was so fresh and flavorful.

Give them a try and you won’t be...

Orders to go food. I ordered a steak fajita taco salad. Got it home and it was chicken. Not the end of the world, but to make it worse, the salad bowl wasn’t even half was filled. Seriously like two inches of toppings. I was starving so I went ahead and ate what was there. Got to the bottom and started eating the taco bowl and it tasted like chemicals. I didn’t finish it but it tasted extremely chemical, as though someone had been cleaning and had sprayed chemicals all over it. I can’t Believe we just paid $9 for about 8 bites of salad, plus a fee for...
