Agave Restaurante Mexicano Overview

Spicing up Surry Hills with a true taste of Mexico is Agave Restaurante Mexicano. Vibrant & modern, it’s the perfect place for a fiesta with your favourite amigos. What really sets Agave apart, though, is the food. Yes there are tacos & enchiladas – just not the Americanised version that most people are used to. Restaurant owner Gerardo’s mother in Mexico acts as a ‘consultant’ for the menu, which ranges from lip-smackingly tasty tapas like Pulpos al Ajillo (octopus pan fried with guajillo chilli, garlic & onion served with rice) to the Pollo en Mole Poblano (chicken breast simmered in a rich sauce of spices, dried chillies, cocoa, almonds, raisins & garlic, served with rice). With 100% agave tequilas & a wide range of Margaritas, all you need is a sombrero…

AGAVE MEXICANO CHEF PROFILE: GERARDO MACIP-LANZAGORTA

Mexican restauranteur with a point to prove. Agave restaurant owner Gerardo J Macip-Lanzagorta is somewhat of a chameleon within the hospitality industry. As a born-and-bred Mexican working in the Sydney hospitality industry for over fifteen years, Gerardo couldn't help but notice the gap between what Mexican restaurants in Sydney were serving, and the traditional Mexican food he knew and loved.

"I became more and more frustrated when I realised I couldn't find any decent, authentic Mexican food in Sydney," Gerardo explains. "There was this idea in Sydney that Mexican food is Tex-Mex style nachos and burritos. I wanted to change that image," he says. Within days of spotting a vacant space on famed Surry Hills strip Crown Street, Gerardo was fated to change his profile – this time to restaurateur.

With the support of his business partner Jo Thorpe, Gerardo set out to make his mission of creating a genuine Mexican eating house a reality. The vacant, concrete-clad building on Crown Street was gradually transformed into a vibrant Mexican haven. Swathes of Mexican fabric and Jo and Gerardo's collection of hand-painted Talavera plates were hung to decorate the newly painted walls. Not the kind of people to cut corners, Gerardo and Jo commissioned a giant Aztec calendar sculpture to hang at the restaurant's entry – an exact replica of the one Jo fell in love with at the Anthropological Museum in Mexico City.

The pair took to the menu with similar gusto and integrity. Gerardo regularly consulted his mother throughout the menu engineering process to ensure the food was as authentic as possible. With his enthusiastic passion for his cultures cuisine and his skills in the kitchen, a variety of regional mexican dishes have been created for sydney diners to experience.

Central to the restaurant's authenticity is Gerardo's food philosophy. "We're a Mexican restaurant, owned by a Mexican, serving Mexican specialities. I want to show Sydney that traditionally our food is fresh and the flavours are subtle – it doesn't have to always be mouth-numbingly spicy!" To fulfil his ambition, Gerardo created dishes like the Pulpos al Ajillo - pan-fried octopus with guajillo chile, garlic and onion, and the warm Puerco en Salsa Verde - pork blade and nopal cactus cooked in a tomatillo salsa.

Agave opened its doors to Crown Street in mid 2009 and has already become a stalwart with Sydney-siders in the know. With a comprehensive range of sipping tequilas and cocktails, exceptional service and – best of all – the endorsement of the Mexican community, Agave marks Sydney's first true foray into the little-known territory of authentic Mexican cuisine.
