Blue Agave just opened up across the street from Double Down. I ate there tonight, and in was pretty darn good. They have tempeh on the menu, but their shipment hadn't come in yet.

rice was great
beans were great
enchilada sauce was great

I will probably stop in there again during Fest.

But do they have 32 oz Dos Equis mugs? and 'Real' tacos? (Mmmmeat, cilantro onion, soft tortilla) If so imma tear this place up and i hope it does the same to my insides..

as a Mexican i can say Dos Equis is crap, i agree with the "real tacos" thingy though.

I recommend you Cucapah's beer, they are from Mexicali and they make pretty good beers


and Baja Brewing beer from Cabo San Lucas, great beers

damn! i messed up the thread

you forgot the radish and lime on your real taco

there was some craft beer from Mexico I had years ago, and it was OK, but they went out of business.

I doubt Blue Agave is really very authentic, but it's closer to real Mexican than anything else downtown (including Boca Fiesta. I like Boca, it's just not really much like Mexican food)

I'm gonna go talk to the manager this weekend, and try to convince them to have unofficial Fest shows on their patio.

cool, i'll make sure to try the food there

Went to Boca Fiesta a couple of years ago and it was pretty decent. It doesn't compare to the authemtic Mexican places that we have here in Texas, but it's still a good place to eat. They always play Punk Rock on the radio while you are eating haha it rules
