Avocado does that causal dining thing that all new restaurants do in Calgary - it follows the following rules:
- Sports playing on TVs around the room at all times
- Modern atmosphere
- "Fusion" of foods
None of these things are particularly bad, it's just boring to see the same restaurant with a new menu pop up around Calgary.
Despite my bitterness, the food is not bad. I've been there probably three or four times since it opened in the winter ( I live and work nearby) and I've had some disappointing meals (full dinner salads are not very big and way too expensive) and some really great eats ("Mexican" Burger w/ Guacamole was to die for).
So, this is a mediocre review because I've seen this restaurant a hundred times and it's not special. The service is somewhere between one and two stars- but, it's decent food and is worth a try. Especially if you're into Mexican food, which is the "theme"- and they do it with a good amount of zing.
