| - We were at Costco and The Brick and we up for trying out a new restaurant for a late lunch. I have been in Mexican restaurants all over Mexico, California, and western Canada and love authentic Mexican food. When we saw Avocado Mexican Grill, we thought it worth a try. It wasn't.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Food BLAND, dry, and tasteless, and overpriced, poor value for the money.
They charged $3.50 for the tiniest little cup of tortilla chips and salsa (most Mexican restaurants provide that for free with a full meal). My friend ordered the fish tacos, which were deep fried and bland. I thought I would get a taste of authentic carnitas when I ordered the pork burrito. It was dry and tasteless. No Mexican spices, no cilantro. There is nothing authentically Mexican about this restaurant. Even Taco Bell comes closer (and that isn't saying much). The tortillas, chips, and salsa were like something bought from Safeway.
Our table for two was so small that there wasn't sufficient room for our plates, drinks, chips, etc.
They really should take the word "Mexican" off their restaurant name. Nothing Mexican about this restaurant. Doesn't even come close.
