Masa & Agave just opened in The Westin Cleveland Downtown. Menu is Mexican, offers 150 tequilas and 50 mezcals.
has opened quietly this month in The Westin Cleveland Downtown. It’s not to be confused with Agave & Rye Cleveland a few blocks to the west. Masa & Agave verges on relaxed fine dining, while Agave & Rye is more casual. Putting “Agave” in the name refers to the restaurants’ focus on agave spirits such as tequila and mezcal.
“This is really a matter of preference,” said Tony Edgerton, Corporate Beverage Director of Apicii. “Here in the United States, we love our tequila, so the highest profile would go to the extra anejo tequila that sometimes goes for thousands of dollars a bottle.” “These recipes have been made by families for centuries and they oftentimes only bottle 500 liters a year,” he says. “Those are special bottles due to the family history and culture in every bottle. How can you put a price on that?”
The chicken mole rojo is made with a handcrafted mole of chocolate, peppers and more that has been cooked low and slow for 48 hours. It is served with queso fresco, crema, onions, and cilantro. The tablones is a tender Modelo Especial-braised beef short rib served with pico de gallo, cilantro and heirloom-corn tortillas.
