Today I was heading back from class and I decided that id like to try the Mexican place in the union(my favorite!). Blue Agave was bashed by some of my friends so I had to taste it for myself. I got a steak quesadilla with pico di gallo and some Monterrey jack cheese. I was surprised.
Initially it tasted fantastic. Cheese melted pretty well, it was still a little solidified and wasn't the best cheese. Steak was good, had a mesquite flavor to it. It was little bits of it not big hunks, which is critical for good quesadilla formation. The pico di gallo was fresher then my hopes and was the best thing about this. A nice fresh taste with some heat but still cool as well. The tortilla was a little too moist. It was crispy at first but over time it got soggy. It needed sour cream to act as a moisture barrier (thank you Alton Brown for that term). Overall I was extremely pleased, it tasted like something I could make. It was huge, a great deal for the cost, very filling. Though it was constructed in the usual cookie cutter manner, it tasted real .
