Pinellas County is home to a plethora of mouth-watering Latin food. It\u2019s never hard to find Latin spice and flavor served with cold cerveza or margaritas. But some spots take it up a notch.<\/p>\n

Nestled in the heart of St. Pete Beach, there\u2019s a place that offers some of the most delicious Mexican food I\u2019ve ever had anywhere in the world. That place is Agave Restaurant.<\/p>\n

Agave Restaurant does not adhere to the ordinary Mexican restaurant archetype. Here, you\u2019ll find family recipes made with quality ingredients prepared to exquisite perfection. After a bite, you\u2019ll sit back in your chair and say \u201cwow\u201d as sweat beads down your salt-rimmed house margarita made with smooth tequila and just the right amount of mix.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe food at Agave is rooted in that northern-central Mexican style,\u201d said Brianna Madison, daughter of the owners and founders of Agave. \u201cSimple, homemade, and exactly how my family cooks at home. And honestly, the restaurant really is my family. Almost everyone who works here is related, and if they aren\u2019t, they\u2019re connected through someone who is. I even have customers I\u2019ve known since before I could remember, and they\u2019re family, too. That\u2019s the heart of Agave. Family, history, and food made with the same love my mom started it with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tastes of home<\/p>\n

Agave Restaurant serves some Mexican favorites such as fajitas, enchiladas, and chimichangas, but they also serve some dishes you\u2019ve maybe never had.<\/p>\n

My personal favorite is their chile relleno, a roasted chile poblano filled with seasoned ground beef, dipped in egg batter, fried golden brown, topped with pomegranates, and served with rice and refried beans. I\u2019m starting to salivate just thinking about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgave has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember,\u201d Brianna told us. \u201cWe\u2019ve been open for 22 years, and my mom dreamed about it long before that. She came to the U.S. about 37 years ago, started out as a server, met my dad, who was a cook, and together they built this place from the ground up. Before that, she learned everything about Mexican cuisine from her father back home in La Comarca Lagunera, which is right on the border of Coahuila and Durango.\u201d<\/p>\n
