Here is a bit of its history according to elagave.com “The true flavor of Hispanic-Mexican Gastronomy at El Agave Restaurant and Teuileria. A country’s variety that composes a mosaic of unbeatable colors and flavors. The Mexican cuisine represents the encounter of two pueblos, two dominant cultures. The Aztecs knew the art of eating well thanks to their appropriate use of condiments, having their taste be comparable to that of the most refined gourmet. The very own Hernan Cortes, Bernal Diaz del Castillo and Fray Bernardino de Sahagun cradled these words. The Aztecs contributed the knowledge as well as products of great value to improve the food and also for the most demanding palates. Without tortillas, tamales, string beans, cactus paddles, tomato, aromatic herbs, avocado, spices, fruits, moles, vegetable oils, mushrooms, peanuts, chili and the correct use of fats, the Prehispanic cuisine would never reached the degree of perfection that it did. The diversity of products from each region, the indigenous gastronomic tradition and the European influence turned the Mexican cuisine into a complete experience that does not cease to amaze us. Since 1996, the City of San Diego offer the products and services from El Agave, a Mexican Nouvelle Cuisine restaurant first in its category, dedicated one hundred percent to the enhancement of the Hispanic-Mexican Gastronomy. Since then thousands of people and critics have been able to enjoy and prove the quality of the traditional Mexican dishes from the diverse regions such as the Center and the South of the Country” –J.C.
