Agave Azul

This casual Mexican restaurant is an ideal family dinner spot where everyone can get what they want: an excellent spicy jalapeño margarita for you, and a simple quesadilla for your cousin who only eats things with cheese. The menu is overloaded with options, but we like coming here for a dinner of poblano rellenos with tequila bacon and the birria tacos with extra tender slow-braised brisket. Don’t let the strip mall exterior fool you—inside you’ll find a newly renovated dining space and an upscale, almost country club atmosphere. Agave Azul also happens to be 10 minutes away from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, in case your colby jack-loving cousin wants to know.
