Nice ambiance, service very good & attentive. Food was so-so. Could use more flavor. Guacamole very bland. No spice or flavor. Gringo tacos ok, nothing memorable. Drinks were very good!

The outside band trio was too loud for conversation. We moved are table far away and although the staff was accommodating the table was dirty and they needed lighting for the patio.

We were group of 8. Took a bit for waitress to come over to get drink orders and tell us about taco Tuesday. We ordered chips and guacamole and chips and salsa The two guacamole and chips came along with the salsa but no chips with the salsa. Had to ask twice for them. Dinners came to all of us expect one person. He had to get up and ask . Waitress never came back to check on meals ( as that is an absolutely must ) and we were finished halfway with our meals when he got his salad and shrimp. She never returned to ask if we wanted more drinks , why??? That is such a money maker for restaurants? She returned to ask if we wanted desserts and we didn't and got our check . I don't know if she was overworked , they were short , but ..... service was a C- , and sadly we had mandatory 20% tip added , when honestly it wasn't warranted .

Drink prices (except beer) are just absurd. If u drink, be prepared to be insulted, not just with the prices, but the meager pours as well. Well vodka soda, $13, most tequila, $15 and UP. I had a “wet burrito”. Big dry lump with minimal sauce, no cheese, minimal beans- just a flour roll of rice. YUM!! She had an $8 small piece of corn. Impossible to park near. Won't be back.
The service from Mark was excellent. The staff from the hostess, to the food runner to the manager were all friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were great. The prices range from reasonable to expensive. Most people should be able to find an entree for around $20 unless they want a more expensive dish. There are a lot of restaurant choices on pga. This is now one of our favorites.

We have been here several times before. Tonight was just different. The service initially was timely but then it seemed very slow, waiter was not available for extended amounts of time. Took a long time to get food order in after he took and returned with drinks. I ordered the 3 protein fajitas to share, my husband got enchiladas and the other gentleman ordered chicken enchiladas. Took a long time to get and once brought over again difficult to get our waiter. Busy night I guess. Worse of all was the music level was deafening and they were outside! It was my birthday and I didn't want to stay for dessert! That's how awful it was.

This was our first time at the Avocado Cantina. We were seated for our reservation promptly, had good service, and very tasty Mexican food. We were pleased with our experience, but not absolutely blown away by it and the menu seemed a little pricey. That's the only reason that I gave it overall a four star rating instead of five stars.

A little disappointed! Met friends here for a pre-Christmas gathering. We were excited because none of us had been there before. Service was slow to come over and take drink order. Apps were good but the main not so great. Two of us shared the chicken wet burrito. They brought it out and it was cold, and didn't even give us plates to eat off. We sent it back and they replaced it with another one, again no plates and no sauce and it still wasn't very hot. Staff spent most of their time chatting by the service area. Don't think I'll go back.

Started at the bar with delicious Cadillac margs! On to the table. Restaurant is decorated with colored pin lights and accents that make for a nice atmosphere. A band was playing a bit too loud, but we're good. Had several small plates, carne asasda tacos and octopus shrimp seviche???
I go often to Avocado Cantina, usually is an excellent experience. Unfortunately this time it wasn't. The food was great as usual but for some reason they were taking forever with the service even though it wasn't that busy. When they finally brought the check it wasn't the correct amount. I had to wait over 10 minutes until they finally fixed the issue. I'm a bit disappointed but will continue to go because of food
Excellent food and excellent service. Terrific guacamole and the skirt steak is always cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food and great ambiance!

Already looking forward to our next trip! Delicious guacamole & goat cheese queso to start. Tacos, enchiladas & wet burrito all fresh and so tasty! Plenty of gf options too.
The Cantina has a great atmosphere of vibrant music, beautiful murals, a stunning bar and overall good vibes! The guacamole was terrific served with chips warm from the oven- absolutely delicious! The tacos were fine, but, I think, a little overpriced. It is definitely upscale Mexican and a fun night out.

Chile Relleno App was great, so was the guac n chips. Had 3 different tacos which were good, not great ad I had hoped....corn tortillas a bit vold n floppy for my liking. Spicy margs were good.
