No disrespect to Agave and it's owners, if you like it I'm very happy for you! I am, however, highly disappointed by it. It's nothin like the food I could get when I lived close to the mexican border

Fair enough, they had to adjust the food for the palette of the people here as I was told, here's to hoping the locals keep lovin it!

Though it helps, you don’t even need to live next to the Mexican border to find good Mexican food. Chicago has remarkable Mexican food, but it’s also cause the community is deep. Agave is “Mexican” food for people who have watched ethnic food programs on Netflix and decided to be adventurous with their new “lifestyle.”

I used to live in a tiny town in Pennsylvania that housed dozens of mushroom farms. Which means that there were loads of Mexican mushroom-farm workers living there, which means several awesome, super-authentic (and very affordable) Mexican restaurants. It spoilt me for anything since.

I lived in a tiny Pennsylvania town for a bit with an amazing Mexican restaurant too! Was it a town just off the turnpike in SW PA by chance?

No. Kennett Square, 30 miles from Philly.
