Comments for Downtown’s Agave shuttered by evening fire at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 11 out of 11 comments http://www.theind.com Wed, 22 May 2013 19:21:45 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21209 Please give specifics. Have the Balbesi's done anything underhanded to drive out competition? Unless you're going to get specific, then I'm going to have to assume that their product is better than other options. I make my restaurant decisions based on food quality and if the restaurant makes me feel like an appreciated customer. - D Boy Tue, 23 Aug 2011 10:26:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21196 Agave's food is nit nearly as good as other Mexican joints in town. I haven't been to trend, but my Friends that have won't go back. The service is a joke and the food follows suit. Don't trust the Balbesi brothers. These guys get physical to win competitions. - Milla Mon, 22 Aug 2011 22:55:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21143 Trynd is just awful... Agave isn't so bad (La Pagua's much better... and AUTHENTIC). The Zeus line has torn its way through Laffy. But this isn't Karma; it's a kitchen fire. Heck, Wal-mart is king, right? So there's nothing wrong with imitation. - RKGP Sat, 20 Aug 2011 14:33:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21109 Well, Rinklestien and Gurlimom, I believe in the American dream. I think you may be fooling yourselves if you believe that they 'pushed' out the other establishments. Can't you just believe for one minute that the Balbesi brothers 'drove' them out instead, by supplying a better a product and enviroment for you to enjoy a wonderful meal? Karma is heading your way...oh wait, where's your resturants? I might drive by them as I go enjoy some fine Agave food when next they open. - CuriousJ Fri, 19 Aug 2011 17:42:45 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21101 I agree with you Rinkelstein, 110%! - Gurlimom Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:33:45 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21093 Pushing out competition? Isn't that the idea when you're in business to make money? The food at Agave is delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful. I'm sorry to hear it'll be closed for a bit. Looking forward to it returning soon. - kajunkool Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:14:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21088 The Balbesi brothers have made a practice of pushing out competition in the Down Town area since they opened Zeus. Just ask the owners of the other Latino restuarant down town. - Rinkelstein Fri, 19 Aug 2011 09:51:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21076 Hopefully it will be back up and running soon. I don't know how long I will last without my Agave margarita and queso fix. Best of luck to you guys and we hope to be back there soon! - CajunGal Fri, 19 Aug 2011 08:50:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21075 Can I ask what you are implying Rinkelstein? - CuriousJ Fri, 19 Aug 2011 08:41:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21062 So sorry to hear about this! Glad to know no one was hurt. We'll be back as soon as you are back. God bless. - Hope Fri, 19 Aug 2011 04:21:30 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8865-downtowns-agave-shuttered-by-evening-fire#comment-21051 Karma's a mug for the Balbesi brothers. - Rinkelstein Thu, 18 Aug 2011 20:23:47 +0100
