Went to this small little lounge last Friday night with my boyfriend (because we had a groupon). When we arrived, we waited at the door to be seated but there wasn't an AVA employee in sight. Finally, we went to the bar and realized that the bartender was also the only waitress. The bar/lounge definitely lacked sophistication and was a bit grungy.
We ordered the "Tortilla chips basket with guacamole". The fried beans that came with it were bland and not so pleasant. The guacamole, however, tasted fresh and was really yummy! The green salsa was also delicious. I ordered the "Breaded chicken torta" which came with a tasty chipotle sauce. The chicken patty was thin and looked slightly processed but the sandwich was decent overall. My boyfriend got the steak burrito which he loved! He stole some of my chipotle sauce because he loved it so much!
The food is surprisingly better than the service or atmosphere.
