Agave Grill, ( Grade D)

Date of last visit: June 2010
Address: 7361 SW Bridgeport Road, Tigard, Oregon (in the Bridgeport Shopping Center across from the theaters)
Phone: 503 - 372-9152
Hours: opens at 11Am week days opens at 9 on weekends, closes between 9 to 11
LINK:  Agave Grill
General Impressions of the place itself:  New, well appointed 'nice chain' sort of look (don't know if it is a chain or not but the decor looks like one). Has both booths and tables, an open kitchen, and very friendly and helpful wait staff.
What we ordered:  We wre there for lunch--and ordered off the lunch plate. We had a Guacamole Especiale;   A child's plate quesadilla (we had an 18 month old with us);  and we split a Vegetarian Enchilada plate.
Things we liked and disliked:  The service was really friendly and helpful (us having a baby we appreciated being brought orange slices for our little guy --and other diversions for him--while we waited). But the food was only so so. They use a corn meal-crepe --rather than a tortilla--and it just didn't work for me. I spoke with another person who had one and she liked it a lot.. but I sure wouldn't get another one. The guacamole was large in quantity but weak in taste. I am guessing they are using the wrong kind of avocados. 
Number in our party: 2 adults and 1 child
Total Bill: Recommended? $23.00 (not cheap) this was lunch after all and the adults split their meal and we didn't get drinks.
With a Five Star Scale - and Five being perfect - we rate this place? Sorry but it only gets 1 Star / Grade D -- I say sorry becasue the staff was so nice and we had really a limited exposure to the menu.  They have a happy hour that has great discounts on the foods and we were told the Margaritas are worth a try.
