My husband and I just returned from Avocados this evening. We arrived around 4:30pm for an early dinner. We were served chips & salsa immediately after sitting down. Our drinks (Mac & Jacks draft and a plain marguerita) arrived very quickly and tasted fine.
I am a vegetarian and usually have no problem finding meals to eat at mexican restaurants. The menu here looks inviting for vegetarians with little icons next to vegetarian meals (maybe a total of 6-7). The problem I had is that I do not like mushrooms and every veggie dish on the menu features mushrooms as a main focus of the plate. So my options were limited to ordering a Chipotle black bean burger.
Our plates arrived in a reasonable time period. My burger came with sliced avocados on top and fries on the side. I began to mush and spread the avocados on the top of the burger and then realized that the patty was cold. Not just not warm but COLD! It was still barely thawed in the center of the patty. As I waited for the waiter to return I had two fries which were hot and tasted fine.
After explaining the problem the waiter took my plate away with apologies. Another waiter returned with my plate about 5 minutes later. They actually returned the same burger and fries as before and of course now the fries were cold! I sent the entire plate back. If a kitchen cannot even cook a frozen black bean patty correctly I am skeptical of meals requiring any further skill.
I too love many mexican restaurants in the area - namely Sabor al Mexico in Mukilteo, Blue Tequila in Bothell and El Paraiso in Everett - choose any of those restaurants over this one and you won't be disappointed.
