EatLafayette Dish of the Day: Agave's Crab cakes

by Madeline Hurst

Taste a bit of Mexico and Louisiana all in one bite

Agave Grill & Cantina is one of many restaurants in Lafayette with a menu offering a wide variety of Southwestern and Tex-Mex options. With a slogan like "Where the Border Meets the Bayou," you can expect to taste a fiesta at this favorite hot-spot.

Agave's Ceviche Del Mar

One of IND Eats' favorites from Agave is the Ceviche Del Mar. This appetizer is a shrimp and scallop ceviche, piled with jumbo lump crab meat, diced avocado and a lemon and lime wedge - all in a tangy southwestern citrus sauce.

Crab cakes with mango and roasted raspberry chipotle sauce

The Agave crab cakes are another great choice - the luscious cakes are coated in a southwest pecan breading then laced with a mango and roasted raspberry chipotle sauce. It's certain these crab cakes definitely will not disappoint any diner looking for something different yet delicious.
