Eh. That about sums up my overall impression of Tres Agaves. The food was decent, but nothing I'd run out and hunt down. They do get serious props on the m-m-m-margarita, however. I like mine tart -- Mr. Food Musings makes 'em with nothing but fresh lemon juice and Cointreau at home -- and picking out my very own tequila made me feel special, though I'm not enough of an expert to know what the hell I was doing. It's a big space and the noise level was high but not uncomfortable (keep in mind it was Tuesday...). The service and the decor were nothing more than average, and there you have it folks. For my pesos, it's Mamacita all the way.
HBTY today!!! Tonight's dinner will be fabulous, so enjoy every morsel!

HBTY? Oh, well, then. Cool! HBTY!!
I loved Unterman's review of 3 Agaves for the 'Zaminer: She thought her dinner was OK; her tablemates got drunk.

Thanks, Cookiecrumb!
I haven't read her review but it sounds hilarious. I think getting drunk is probably what Tres Agaves does best, and certainly what most of its clientele are looking for...

Totally agree with you. Love Mamacita. Will love it even more when - if - they ever install some soundproofing panels on the ceiling. But the food is tremendous enough to brave the high decibels for.
