  • Man where do I start? After reading a glowing review for Blue Agave in the Isthmus I thought we might get a place that would give us some semblance of a modern Mexican place and not another Laredo's. The Isthmus must just default to a glowing review if a place is in downtown because they get free drinks. Blue Agave could only strive to be Laredo's. It started with the overly friendly white boy barkeep that must be stone deaf and thought he was applying at Chili's. I ordered their standard marg just kick things off and he asked if I wanted it frozen. Bad sign for openers. They didn't have a top shelf marg that I could see, but it is nearly impossible to read their menu with a 0.25 font size. Hell even Chili's will make you a top shelf marg. Anyway, I tell him I wanted it served up and he laughed and brought it to me on ice. I told him again that I ordered it up and he laughed again, walked away and poured out the drink he had made and made another one...warm with no ice. Obviously not a real bartender, or not a good listener. I drank it just because it was obvious this place sucked and I wanted to get this over with ASAP. Oh and the marg was a sweet and sour mix special and served warm, it was genuinely awful. So they pride themselves with tableside guacamole - something seemingly new to the Isthmus staff but was new about 3 decades ago. We got our guac with mango because as my wife added " they are in season". At Blue Agave frozen mango is always in season! We may have got about two small pieces of frozen mango in ours. But the guac was the star of the meal. I got carne asada. A standard that even Laredo's can do a decent job on. What I got was a large sheet of work boot leather with rice and beans. I really laughed when I saw it. So pathetic and sad. The poor busboy had to give up his shoes because someone ordered something besides fajitas. My wifefriend got a fairly decent mole enchilada, nice flavor that was a bit unique but the mole was an afterthought. One last thing. I love a place that pays attention to detail. Blue Agave was using someone's iPhone for the music track (probably in violation of RIAA - but I'm sure they've got bigger things to worry about), which wouldn't have been a big deal except the person's phone kept getting texts and the music kept stopping, followed by a "bing!" And then resume. But no one seemed to mind because they had frozen margs with a hint of rail swill tequila with only an old memory of an agave plant and a place other than Loredo's to get guacamole. So if you find yourself in here because you trust the Isthmus restaurant reviews one piece of advice ... get a beer and a bowl of the guac and go somewhere else to eat.
