As Mexican Restaurants go this far up in North America, the food is excellent. I've had the Shrimp Poblano twice now and the flavor of the shrimp is superb. \r
However, This time I had the Seafood Burrito instead of having the Fajita's my wife ordered. I was afraid the Fajitas would turn out like so many other Mexican Restaurants, but I was wrong. The amount of Oil in the Skillet was very minimal if not non exeistant and the salt content was minimal as well which allowed the flavor of the food to stand on its own. The Crab in my Burrito was real for sure and the cream sauce was light and nicely seasoned much like the cream sauce on the Shrimp Poblano dish.\r
The Service is superb. It's not stuffy, pretentious or over done. It's simply just right. The Hostess recommended sitting nearer the Bar area for a quieter dinner. In the course of dinner we heard why: There was a fussy youngster in the main part of the restaurant. She did that very tactfully. Seconds after our waitor went to another table to deliver a birthday cheer, another waitress saw we put the Menu's down and took our order promptly seeing the obvious: We were ready to place our order. The Owner/Manager (not sure if he's both or not) has greeted us personally everytime. My wife is on crutches and he even moved tables and chairs to accomodate us in a personal and friendly manner as if he'd known us for years. I got to tell him that Avocados is not a typical restaurant. Anyone can put Sysco out of a can on a plate and serve it up. It's easy to go with the flow and follow the formula of the norm. It's much harder to carve a notch for yourself with creativity. They are doing just that and have established our dedication as customers for years to come. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a casual dining experience in a lovely decor where the extra mile is gone to ensure not just another cookie cutter meal but an experience that just makes you feel comfortable and welcomed as an important person; not just another customer.
