Agave Mexican Cantina

 

 

Where Hula-Hula used to stand is now a Mexican restaurant named Agave.  Like Em Dy, I also miss Hula Hula.  I remember eating paella negra with Bubba at this joint some time 2006.  Didi, Fran and I got together for dinner on Tuesday and it was also the perfect time to try a new restaurant since we three love to eat.

 

On the Table

 

Nacho Grande PHP 305

We ordered this appetizer to share.  Corn tortilla chips weren’t too greasy which is how I like my chips.   Smothered with ground beef, refried beans, tomatoes, guacamole, onions and drizzled with sour cream. 

 

 

Combo Cuatro PHP 255

Bubba’s order -choice of cheese enchilada and two shrimp chile rellenos with Mexican rice

 

 

Yucatan Skewers Chicken PHP 305

Didi’s order, which looked really appetizing –three skewers with charred chicken meat alternating with roasted vegetables.  The chicken was a little dry according to Didi.  That didn’t stop me from ordering the beef version.

 

 

Combo Uno PHP 265

Fran’s order –choice of taco and choice of enchilada

 

 

Cheese Enchilada (Single) PHP 155

My order was cheese enchilada with Mexican rice and salad.  Not even 10 minutes when it was placed on the table and I saw it vanish right in front of my eyes.  The layers of flour tortilla alternating with cheese with a little tomatillo was indeed mouthwatering.  Apparently, it wasn’t enough for hungry me so I ordered the beef skewers as my second entree.

 

 

Yucatan Skewers Steak PHP 395

It was charred on the outside but rare on the inside so we had to ask the wait staff to take it back for another run in the rotisserie.  This time it was cooked medium well but I was glad that the meat was still juicy and succulent.  Very flavorful meat with vegetables that are cooked soft enough but with a bite.  This is definitely a repeat order when I come back.

 

 

Margarita (Free)

Since Fran had an Agave card, our bill was slashed with a 10% discount and I got a free Margarita.

 

Good food and great bonding sesh can really lighten any long day at work.  I didn’t realize that it was already 12midnight and it has been more than 4 hours of talk time.  It was nice to bond with these two since I learn more about the hard work behind any wedding day.  I didn’t realize that weddings can cost an arm and a leg these days.  Didi lost so much weight by the way without consciously trying to!!!

 

Wish we came earlier so we could have availed of the 50% Happy Hour discount.  Celebrate Happy Hours with 50% off all appetizers and Agave signature cocktails.  Available from 4-7 PM everyday.
