Hey all,
Was wondering if anyone has eaten at this restaurant and what they thought of it? It is called Avocados and is right beside Fatburger in Deerfoot Meadows by the ikea. Myself and a friend ate at this restaurant tonight. It was not very good at all. The prices were pretty expensive and the menu is tiny. In fact only 4 Items I believe for entrees, as follows:
Burritto.......choose from chicken, steak, pork, vegatarian. $12.50
Chicken Quesadilla $14.00
Drunken Chicken.......a chicken breast marinated with tequila and some other sauce on rice $16.00
8 oz prime rib with peppers, onions, etc. $18.00
That is the entire menu there. In addition there are 2 types of salads around $10 each, 2 types of soups about $6. And then maybe 5 appetizers, nachos, wings, etc for around $12.
That is the entire menu at this joint. And the service is pitiful as well. People who ordered the same things as us after us were getting served their food before us. Never asked if we wanted another drink even though ours were finished half way through the meal. No hot sauce or even salt and pepper were on any tables.
Being big fans of Mexican food we were very dissapointed. I would suggest avoid this place until they expand their menu and start providing better service. This place is rather new, only opened in March so hopefully they may improve in time. Until then I would suggest if you want mexican you go to these places (listed in order by best IMO) :
1)El Sombreros.......located on 17th ave. Service not always the best. But amazing food. If you go just order the daily special. Always excellent and a lot of food for around $15
2)Los Mariachia.(sp)......on macloed trail next to Outlaws. Small place. Authentic Mexican owned, nice ppl. Go during the week and they have $10 specials on common things like chimichangas, enhiladas, burritos, etc.
3)Salt and Pepper......On Macloed Trail kind of near the back alley. They make excellent Mole sauce here (sauce made from chocolate). Plus go here on Tuesday nights for all you can eat tacos (choose from chicken, beef, sausage, vegatarian) for $10, great deal.
Also Santa Fe Grill makes damn good chimichangas, and Cactus Club has good fajitas. Anyone know of any other good Mexican joints in Calgary that I haven't named?
P.S. Didnt named Juans on 8th cause I dont like that place. They do make a mean tortilla soup though. And Damn I miss Chi Chi's, used to love that place as a kid.
