I've been a dogged fan of Red Agave, even over the last couple years when things got a little rough, both the food and the service. But I had a marvelous meal the other night (rabbit tamale, pork tenderloin, keylime pie). The service was great, very hospitable and knowledgeable. And, of course, the cocktails rocked. The whole vibe was good, again.

Red Agave serves up the most compelling Southwestern cuisine I have had in Eugene. The bar tender is cute, she mixes big stiff drinks, the chips and salsa are homemade, what more could you ask for? We ordered four entrees: The pork tenderloin with tomatillo salsa and polenta cakes, cod cakes with jalapeno tartar and buttermilk onion rings, the green mole enchiladas, and Halibut with stuff I can't quite recall. They were all, especially the first three, to die for. The enchiladas in particular, were strangely delightful. I had low expectations, but when the crema blended with that sultry green mole, Dang! Order any of these and a Gimlet, or perhaps the House Margarita, and you'll be singing La Cucaracha all the way home.
