Cinco de Mayo lunch from Salsa and Agave Mexican Grill

It's the fourth year in a row that we enjoyed Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo (May 5).
  • 2018 - We had nachos, quesadilla, burrito, and churros from Sal y Limon
  • 2019 - We had nachos, tacos, and churros from Tacofino Taco Bar in Gastown
  • 2020 - We had nachos, quesadilla, burrito, and churros from Las Margaritas in Kitsilano delivered at our home.
This year we ordered the same dishes from Salsa and Agave Mexican grill. The best part of the celebration this year is I paid only with DoorDash credits.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Nachos

We ordered large beef nachos. I chose Salsa and Agave because they're part of Daily Hive Dished Vancouver's list of Best Nachos in Vancouver. True enough, the best dish from today is the nachos! The chips arrived still crispy, and the pico de gallo on top is delicious.

Chips, cheddar cheese, beans, jalapeƱo peppers, pico de gallo, fresh homemade sour cream, topped with feta cheese

Chicken Quesadilla

It's dry. Extremely dry and cold. I want to blame it on delivery, but who knows. We reheated it in the air fryer, and the tortilla got fried and was crunchy like chips while the cheese at the edge of the quesadilla became fried; it's much more tolerable.

Burrito

I added beef to the burrito, but somehow it's still mostly rice. Don't get me wrong, the rice was good (the one from Las Margaritas last year is still better, though), but the rice to other ingredients ratio is way off.

Churros con cajeta

Churros with caramel sauce are delicious! The outside was crunchy, and the inside is still so chewy. I wished we reheated it as well. I guess that's really the downside of delivery - the food is not enjoyed directly from the kitchen.

Overall, I am happy to have food from a restaurant again. It's been more than a week since we last ordered because of a new food rule hubby and I created.
