Okayyy Rio Verde in Gonzales…read more They've got new owners, the whole place has been revamped, and the food is FIRE. Everything feels fresh, fun, and like they really gave the place a whole new life. And the DRINKS?! Yeah... they may have just become my new favorite margs in the BR area. Right now my two favorites are the hibiscus marg and the tamarindo mezcal -- both so good, so flavorful, and not your basic margarita situation. If you haven't been since the new owners took over, GO BACK. It's giving new spot without actually being a new spot, and I'm here for it.

They brought a trio of salsa samplers - volcanic jalapeño, mild tomato, and another volcanic one so hot I can't tell what it tastes like. Chips were thick and crispy, with a few stale ones. Street corn (nibs) was very good - just a little mayo/crema, and sprinkle of seasoning. Enchiladas mole with grilled chicken means enchiladas with a bone dry piece of grilled chicken on the side, but the mole sauce was good. (I suppose I was expecting something more like fajita chicken inside the enchiladas). Chile relleno with shrimp was good, too.

We recently visited Agave Blue in Gonzales, LA, and unfortunately, the experience went downhill…read morealmost immediately. We ordered a Pinot Grigio and an Alamos Malbec. Our waitress returned with the Pinot Grigio and informed us that the bartender didn't know what a Malbec was. Seriously? We actually had to show her the wine listed on their own menu and explain that Malbec is a red wine. She eventually returned with it, but to make matters worse, my red wine was cold, while my husband's white wine was lukewarm. We knew we weren't off to a great start! For dinner, we ordered the Elotes and the Sampler. I was especially excited about the Elotes, but one bite was all it took. The amount of lime was so overpowering it literally made your mouth pucker! When our waitress asked how everything was, I politely explained the issue. She apologized and removed the Elotes from our bill, which we appreciated. Then came the check. We noticed we were charged $9.50 per glass of wine when the menu clearly listed them at $8 each. We pointed out the $3 overcharge, expecting a simple correction. Instead, our waitress said she needed to speak with her manager. For what? Just correct the bill! We sat there for approximately 10 minutes watching the waitress and manager converse at the hostess podium while the hostess appeared more interested in flirting with the young men seated nearby. Finally, frustrated with the unnecessary wait, I walked over and asked what the problem was and why they couldn't simply correct the bill. That's when the manager, Chris, looked at me and said, "You're complaining about $1?" Excuse me?! First of all, it was $3, not $1. Second, IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE MONEY! It was about being charged correctly, receiving decent service, and being treated with respect. Chris ultimately removed one glass of wine from the bill, leaving us paying $9.50 for the other. Financially, we came out fine, but that completely missed the point. Mistakes happen. Food isn't always going to be perfect. Employees are still learning. I understand all of that. But when a manager responds to a legitimate customer concern with sarcasm instead of professionalism, that's a much bigger problem. What concerned me most was the apparent lack of training, supervision, and leadership. It felt like a group of inexperienced young employees had been left to run the restaurant without proper direction. A restaurant can survive an occasional bad dish or billing mistake. What it can't survive is management that makes customers feel like they're the problem for pointing it out. We left disappointed, not because of $3, but because of how we were treated.

This is authentic Mexican food and it's all so flavorful. My absolute favorite thing to order is the fajita tacos and I must have the red sauce. Warning- do not just go and add that sauce all over.

The creamy green salsa in the squeeze bottle was delicious and super spicy which I love! Honestly it was the best thing of all. The salsa served complimentary with chips was very plain tomatillos sauce. The side of refried beans tasted like canned to me and the birria tacos ($18 for 4 with ample sauce) just were not the best. I'll go back and try something else next time. The waitress was great. I do realize it's hard to compare 98% of authentic Mexican restaurants to my F go-to authentic restaurant La Mexicana (with a market in front) which closed down on Siegan a couple months ago. I went there for at least 7 years on the regular and let me tell you.. the dishes were amazing and even their refried beans & rice at La Mexicana tasted like they were cooked completely from scratch .. like a true home cooked taste by a talented cook and I keep trying new places out looking for my new favorite.
