Avocado

Best mexican food in Dutchess County! Had a wonderful experience today. service and food was terrific!

I came here for the first time the other day with my bf and was very happy with the overall experience. When I first pulled into the parking lot, I thought it was closed because there weren’t many cars in the lot; maybe Mondays aren’t their busiest days? Anyways, we walk in and are immediately greeted and seated by a very friendly waitress. She took our drink order and brought us some chips and salsa; she was very patient with me because I could not decide what to get so she came back a few minutes later. My bf got a crunchy taco with beef and chicken and I finally decided on the shredded chicken soft tacos. The meals came out quickly and I was more than pleased with my meal. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and very tasty, the rice and beans had a lot of flavor, and the portion size was perfect. The waitress continued to check up on us but wasn’t pushy at all. I was very happy with my dining experience and will definitely be coming back here again.

My boyfriend and I love Mexican food and since we moved down the street we’ve been dying to go here!!! I have zero complaints! We always go places before the crowds start rolling in. We ordered our drinks and our appetizer which was the avocado fries that were amazing!!! I ordered the shrimp chimichangas again amazing. Gary ordered the combo plate we finished our dinner and sadly did not have enough room for dessert!!! We shall go again!!!

Been here several times and the food is always delicious. Short wait for food and service is great.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while as it’s close by, but it was highly disappointing. I ordered the carnitas burrito and it was flavorless. I’ve had carnitas before and they are usually bursting with flavor, but this was just downright bland. The food came out pretty quickly as well, which is always suspect. While the outside of my burrito was steaming, the filling inside was luke warm. The ‘side’ of guacamole that came with the burrito was just sad, along with the runny sour cream.
My husbands fajitas, while he said they were decent, were actually pretty small for the price paid.
Waiter service was also not the greatest. Our water cups were never refilled. My friend’s son ordered a kids quesadilla for her 2 year old son, and twice we were brought out the adult size version. When the bill came we were charged the adult size version, good thing we checked the bill — this was quickly adjusted, so I will give them credit for that. Another wait staff, not our direct waiter was pretty rude as well. He came over to ask us if we needed boxes, when we clearly were still working on our meals– when he came back the second time, we asked him for a box and he gave us a nasty attitude.
Overall very disappointing. Bland, cold and unappealing food with poor service. We are definitely not returning to this place, spend your money elsewhere.

This by far the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. The salsa is great & the cheese quesadillas were tasty. The best was the fried ice cream. Highly recommended.

Had another GREAT meal at Avocado’s. The salsa here is some of the best I have ever tasted, spicy, slightly sweet with lots of cilantro… delicious !!! I could bathe in it. The enchiladas with red sauce were very tasty, the rice was delicious and the beans were good. The atmosphere here is great, cozy and festive and VERY clean. The service is terrific. Probably the best Mexican restaurant in the area with Mole Mole on Hooker Ave. in Pok being second.

My wife and I came in here after a long day at work and it was well worth it. Friendly staff and the food was very good. My wife had the flour tortillas with meat, and I had a beef burrito. Both were very good! And for dessert we shared some churros (my favorite!). Nice atmosphere and good food… You can’t go wrong! I prefer this place over Mayan Cafè.

My absolutely favorite Mexican spot up here. Everyone who knows me knows I’m a Las Mananitas (in Brewster) fan and wouldn’t even begin to compare any other Mexican place to it but this comes a close second. My boyfriend loves to bring me here about every other week. The drinks are awesome! And the food is out of this world. Great guacamole that they make table side just how you like it and the carne asada is mouth watering. The décor is very cute and the staff is super friendly.

I’ve given Avocados several chances to impress me, and each time I’ve been rather disappointed.
My wife is a fan of their vegetarian enchiladas and burritos, so this keeps me coming back on a regular basis (that and the close proximity to our home). Each time I’ve gone I have attempted a new food item and have yet to find one that I can say I’d like to return for. Tonight I figured I’d return to an old favorite of mine from my Baja Fresh eating days… a fajita burrito with steak (burrito smothered in cheese and sauce — essentially a enchilada burrito). I can easily say that it left me wishing I was eating this food item at the before mentioned chain instead of the current location. The steak was dry and relatively flavorless, and quite sparse within the burrito itself. Such has been the case with other dishes I’ve ordered off of the menu and with other meats (beef and chicken).
To say that this place is all bad wouldn’t be fair. I do like their avocado fries for appetizers, and the guac is made fresh at your table (which is something I enjoy), but the good does not outweigh the bad for me in this place. I much prefer other local Mexican spots over this one, but as they say «happy wife, happy life» and if she chooses avocado’s, I’ll just keep hoping I find some buried treasure in an otherwise lackluster menu

Food was horrible! Nasty presentation. NOT COMING BACK!!! Our waitress was rude and not smiling!!! Honestly GO to MAYA IN FISHKILL!!! You will love it …

Found this place while traveling around down the road. The food was exceptional and the service was great. I went with a group of 3 others and not a single person had anything bad to say about this place.

Everything here was absolutely amazing from the food the service and I had a piña Colada that was amazing!!! We will definitely be back here. Best Mexican food around.

Whoever said this place was better than Café Maya you are out of your MIND. By you saying that, I’m going to assume you were either drunk, you’ve been conditioned to going there for years and are mentally brainwashed, or you have friends, family or connections there… Anyway.
First started with an appetizer, a chicken quesadilla. First bite into it and I was saddened. There was N O F L A V O R whatsoever. None. It was like they just put shredded chicken, put cheese and slapped in on a tortilla. Added heat. Not one seasoning was used. Not a grain of pepper, or a grain of salt. A pepper, an onion, a shred of lettuce, a bean, no nothing.
Next, I ordered a drink, everyone ordered drinks. Mine hadn’t came when everyone else’s did. Okay I’ll wait, no problem. It’s busy, I’m not mad… But An ACTUAL half an hour passed we have now been here about an hour & 10 minutes.
No drink. Someone had ordered ANOTHER drink and mine hadn’t came. I wasn’t even going to say anything and just forget it, but a friend stopped a waitress and then another 10 minutes I got a drink.
The food comes for about ⁸⁄₁₁ people… Not one word of «mm this is really good!» Everyone’s faces were somewhat disappointed after have being in the restaurant for about 2 hours now mingling and such, we’re pretty hungry. The food was something you just eat because you’re hungry, it’s in front of you, and you paid for it. It was again, very very bland. Enchiladas. No seasonings whatsoever seemed to be involved. None. Many people at my table ended up trashing half their meals, asking if anyone else would like some?. Declined. now the other 3 people waiting for their crappy food. Some never came until it was time to leave. One cancelled there order saying «I just don’t even want it anymore. I’m not hungry, it’s late, it’s been 2 hours and I’m done» Another ended up sharing a large burrito with their friend, they again were disappointed and declined their actual meal when it came out. The last person took their meal, because she was very hungry and had only a light lunch that day. What do ya know. She AGAIN was disappointed by the food. They offered her meal for free. The ONLY thing worth returning to this place for is the drinks. That. Is. It. You need a slap in the face if you thought this food was satisfactory. You don’t pay $ 15 to sit down somewhere and eat mediocre or below mediocre food. That’s absurd. You go to Taco Bell. But in all honesty, no exaggerations, Taco Bell was much better than this. I am not lying. I actually think I need to stop at Café Maya or AT LEAST Mole Mole TODAY cleanse my mind of this horrible experience. It’s that upsetting.

Decided to try it with husband, on Valentines day — we’d just rec’d another dump of snow. It was great — the food, the service, the red wine I chose. Really nice experience — can’t wait to go back!
One less star — fireplace is not real, place was uncomfortably chilly. They need a little more actual warmth in the décor and furnishings. I do like the wooden floors, though.

I went here no long ago with my brother and his wife. His wife and I ordered Margaritas which were really good. My brother chose bottled beer. We ordered the breaded and fried avocados as an appetizer. They came with a sweet sauce. My brother didn’t care for them, but his wife and I scarfed them up. Yum.
We all agreed, the best policy here is to stick to the well know Mexican items on the menu, such as tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and fajitas, My brother’s wife had beef enchiladas and she liked them quite well. I had pork carnitas, which I’d never had before, so I didn’t know what to expect. I think it was well made but had a spice I’m not used to. That is not the fault of the kitchen, as I took a chance ordering something new. My brother went for the seafood soup and wasn’t that thrilled with it.

This was our third or fourth time here, and for some strange reason we have sat in the same booth every time yes this has nothing to do with the review just find it odd. The first couple time we were here the food was very good this time it was average at best. We shared the Avocado Sampler and while the Avocado fries were very good the rest was mediocre at best. I’ve made better quesadilla here at home and my chicken wings are much better (not that I would go to a Mexican restaurant just for their wings. And the nachos were just a mess.
For dinner I had the Carne Tempiquena the steak was dry, tough, and simply over cooked. My wife had a chicken dish and she said it was passable at best. Our son had a fajita burrito and he said it was good and to be honest he knows his food so I will take his word on that.
The margarita was very good though I don’t care for the glass they use for a margarita on the rocks, but that is my issue not theirs. My wife said the sangria was very good.
The service was good, food came out at a reasonable pace and our waiter did stay on top of our drinks so all in all it was a good meal, though not great. I do have to say that as far as price goes it was worth what we spent.
We will most likely go back at some point.

Service is great, food not so much.
Edit: Went back a 3^rd time and food was much improved!

I’m glad I gave Avacados a second chance. We had gone on Cinco de Mayo and that was a disaster.
Last night was much better. Our waitress and waitstaff were perfectly attentive. Not too much and not too little. My son enjoyed his entire combo plate. My brother also ate all of his avocado burrito even though it was the size of a small baby. I had the chicken poblanas. It was three corn tortilla burritos, chicken with mole. All tastey.
My only issue was that the sangria I ordered was more like a mixed drink. I’m used to a glass of red wine with some fruit in it. This sangria came in a tumbler and was quite potent. My waitress noticed I didn’t enjoy my drink and was nice enough to to not charge me for it. I hadn’t complained, just figured I was a light weight.
Will return again.

We finally went there after many raves from a friend who loves going there. The food overall was VERY BLAND. Then again, I’m used to authentic Mexican food living in Queens. I think my friend just liked it for the drinks and she was probably drinking too much to taste the food.
We went there for lunch and they had a pretty extensive lunch menu for under $ 10.
chili con carne– very thick, tons of meat, no spice, very bland.
chips and salsa (complimentary) — very nice, the salsa was the only thing that had a kick to it.
corn soup– I picked it thinking it was a chowder but it was just a milky bland liquid. I tasted nothing but milk and cheese and tiny bits of corn. It desperately needed some heat and texture! I had to add hot sauce to it. (the hot sauce was also very spicy)
chicken and beef flautas– It was OK, once again it needed spices.
rice and beans– no flavor at all!
chili relleno– once again the stuffing was very bland, although the poblano pepper was nicely toasted.
It serves me right to try a Mexican restaurant in upstate!
