Agave

Ashland, Oregon, April 26, 2013—

WE DO REALLY LIKE this place, and stop in at least once every time we're here for a few days. Open six or eight years now, it's always dependable. Nothing changes, except maybe the art on the walls. Certainly the menu doesn't change, but it doesn't matter: I always seem to order the same things, because they're so delicious — fresh, pointed in flavor, bright and vivacious and, I'm sure of it, healthful.

We began by splitting a salad: shredded cabbage, carrots, jalapeños, and cilantro, dressed with lime juice. And an order of guacamole, almost as good as the one I make.

Then I go on to the duck taco, filled with shredded duck confit, again with some shredded cabbage and onion — an unusual dish, I suppose, but not here: a real standby.
