The New Cantina Agave in Northside Offers Latin-Inspired Food, Cocktails and a Late Night Menu

By CityBeat Staff


Cantina Agave is a new Latin-inspired dining and drinking destination in Northside. Located in the former Taqueria 251 space, the menu includes everything from tacos and margaritas to birria, chicharrones and churros. And, in addition to a massive patio and forthcoming live music, the restaurant also offers a dedicated late-night menu available everyday until close "while supplies last," they say. Current hours are 5-10 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday and 5 p.m.-2:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

In addition to Taco Tuesdays (where three-taco platters are $10), there's $2-off cocktails on Wednesdays, $7 margaritas on Thursdays and marg pitchers are available all week for just $28.

Cantina Agave is located at 4110 Hamilton Ave. in Northside. For more info and a full menu, visit cantinagavecincy.com.

Whataburger Opened in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1950 during the “golden age of drive-ins and American automobiles,” Whataburger grew from a burger stand to over 900 stores across the western and southern parts of the United States. Unfortunately, none of the 900-plus restaurants are in the Tri-State area. What are we missing out on? The classic Whataburger comes with a large beef patty on a large bun with tomato, lettuce, pickles, diced onions and mustard. You can also swap the bun for a brioche bun or Texas toast or add American or Monterey cheese, jalapeños, bacon or avocado. Sauce lovers can also ask for their spicy ketchup or famous honey butter, both of which go great with fries. Other all-time favorites include the Sweet & Spicy Bacon Burger, the Whataburger Patty Melt and a Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich. If none of those are hitting you, the menu, which varies based on location, also lists chicken strips and sandwiches, breakfast options, fries, onion rings and a selection of delicious shakes and malts – including a limited-time Dr. Pepper shake that looks divine, if only because we can’t get our hands on one.
