Agave Mexican Grill serves up authentic Mexican dishes Oct. 5, 2015 in a homey atmosphere.

With its familial feel and pervasive televisions, I would not go to Agave for a first date, a business lunch or, indeed, any meal that requires gravitas or extended conversation. But the homey service, the good value and the earnest and authentic kitchen give me hope that Agave might stick around and give some competition to the more "canned" Mexican eateries in town.
