Agave | New York City

My friend, Jhiane, and I headed to Agave for dinner to celebrate her belated birthday.   


We then headed to The Magnolia Bakery to pick up some cupcakes and celebrated with tea once we got home.  agave 022

LOCATION
140 7th Avenue South
New York, NY 10011
(West Village)
MENU: Agave Menu
COST: $$$
CUISINE:
Mexican
RECOMMENDED TO:
Casual Dining, Couples, Groups, Romantic Dining. 


AMBIENCE
The ambience at Agave is very romantic.  There are candles lit all over this restaurant which makes it a great date spot. 
I loved the pillows setup against the wall.

MY REVIEW
I did the honors and started off with a Mango Mojito.  It was really good, and I was definitely able to taste the mint.
We ordered the Guacamole as an appetizer which came with blue corn chips.  The chips were really good, however I have to say the guacamole was a let down.  I believe it lacked the citrusy flavor, the spice from the jalapeno, and the freshness from the cilantro.  Seriously, it ain’t that hard to made good guacamole!  As her entrée, Jhiane ordered the Blue Corn Enchiladas which were made with chipotle chicken breast, spinach and cheese.  This dish was good, and slightly on the sweeter side, however we weren’t able to detect any spinach. I went for the Grilled Adobo Chicken Quesadillas hoping it would be made with shredded chicken, however to my dismay, there were chunks of grilled chicken.  Overall, this dish was pretty average. 

VERDICT: 3 / 5
Agave would make a great date spot given the romantic atmosphere and good drinks.  Unfortunately, the food is a letdown here.  For the same cost you can get amazing guacamole at Dos Caminos.  The entrees were pretty average as well and not what I would expect of a trendy spot in Manhattan.
If you do plan to check out this place, you can’t go wrong with the drinks, but you may want to research some of the entrees ahead of time prior to dining at Agave. 
TELL ME: Have you been to Agave, if so, what did you think?

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
