Avocado’s

Absolutely fantastic food. This restaurant was pretty authentic Mexican food. Excellent flavor. You will NOT be disappointed! We have found our go to Mexican restaurant here.

This isn’t your typical Mexican restaurant. You can see and taste the difference between the high quality of food they use here versus your typical Mexican restaurant food. The chory-​queso is amazing and the tamale platter is my go-​to every time! Definitely recommend!

Great $ 2 steak or carnitas tacos! We’ll be back soon.

Unlike others, I thought Avocado’s was reasonably priced! Everything tasted fresh and was delicious. We didn’t get any appetizers when we went, which was probably for the best because I left there with a full tummy AND leftovers! I ordered the Benjamin, it was delicious! My grandma ordered the taco salad with shredded chicken and she loved it! I think next time I’ll order their stuffed avocado appetizer, it sounded really good. I’ll be back again soon.

SAVE YOUR $$$
I ate at Avocado’s today. Way over priced for Mexican food. If you like every food item smothered in onions, then you may like it. Otherwise, you will find it pretty gross. My wife tried a salad — even that was greasy and covered in over-​sautéed onions. Taco Bell is a better option. Better yet, find something healthy to eat!

The food was really good! The green sauce was to die for. Good and fast service. The queso was really good too. Must eat in Monroe!!!

No beers on tap… Boo! Then we get our chips and salsa brought to us with one of the salsa bowls still dirty. Then there was a hair in our chips. We got the hell out of there as fast as we could. Would not get paid money to ever walk a step in that place again. There is no way this place can be the best of what Monroe has to offer.

This place had been on our to-​do list for a while now after I accidentally drove by the sign a year or so ago. I saw that it was packed and looked like a good date night.
Finally, the day came and it was a weird time to go, between dinner and lunch. But it ended up being nice because we were one of the few tables inside and had full attention of our waiter and the staff, so no issues there.
As for the food, we were overwhelmed with delicious options on the menu. We opted for the stuffed avocados — a MUST. They tasted like they were stuffed with ceviche, a super healthy blend of lime, lemon juice, shrimp, tomatoes, and onion. We easily scarfed these down and didn’t feel too much guilt after.
As for our meals, I opted for the super unhealthy fried avocado tacos, which were superb. I had enough for leftovers and gladly ate them later without hesitation. I definitely cannot wait to go back here. It tops my short list of local eats to go when hoping for some Tex-​Mex. This is not going to be your authentic Mexican place, but in my opinion, has much more flavor than El Jarrito on every corner. It has more unique dishes and the décor inside is actually nice. I say it is a mix of Iron Cactus with Chili’s if you’ve been to both, than expect that, and you won’t be disappointed.

Service/​Waitress done ok. Food was hot and quick. Drink selection was very limited though.

I visited Avocado ’ s today. It’s been about a year and a half since I have been here (since I moved) but I used to come here for lunch all the time. I probably would have given it a four before.
So here is the up to date scoop: The expanded space is beautiful and clean. The bathroom was especially nice (a pet peeve of mine ;)).
The food is good — real good but higher priced than competitors in the area. There are a few unique items you won’t find eslewhere. One of which is the cucumber martini — try it… but watch it, make sure they actually put some alcohol in there.
The service is so slow. SO SLOW. That’s about all I got.

My last meal in Louisiana was here… they had almost doubled the size of the interior, and got rid of the «we must open quickly and get the cash register busy» look. Very tasteful looking on the inside now but nothing that would pass muster with Las Vegas standards.
Since everyone guys from Mexican food here are a words that sum up my review… This is not the Mayo Clinic. Mexican food should be heavily seasoned and spicy, with a liberal dose of salt and garlic. the plates were abundant looking… but all four plates work totally underseasoned. not a lemon wedge or lime wedge in sight, much less raw onion or cilantro.
On the plus side… service was fantastic and our orders were brought to us quickly despite the crowds. Iced Tea what’s refilled quickly. my parents are getting up there in years so I know they needed something with flavor. next time I will just tell them to season everything heavily. You would think that fajita enchiladas would be swimming in a plethora of different flavors. But the grilled onions and peppers added nothing to the fajita meat. it totally needed some salt while cooking.
Maybe I am just spoiled living in Collin County Texas, with the chain Mexican restaurants such as uncle Julio’s or Pappasito’s, and of course Taco Cabana.
With a few touches of proper marination and liberal seasoning, this place would really rock.
if anyone, at the management level of the restaurant reads this, please tell him I love this affordable, and plush auction in Monroe… but to please work on adding some salt.
One final plus… a vast ocean of parking and some of the best exterior stating I have ever seen!

I’ve only eaten there twice and it was horrible both times. Takes entirely too long to get ANYTHING. I sat today without a drink for 5 good minutes before our waiter wandered back with a refill. The food is mediocre at best. I truly dont understand why this place stays packed. I nor anyone I was with will be returning.

Avocados has a great, friendly staff and great food. I had the best fish tacos I had ever eaten!

The Fried Avocados were very good, as were the Margaritas. I will definitely add this to my list of places to eat in Monroe.

I love Avocado’s especially for their fresh take on what could be a grease-​fest at any other mexican restaurant. The lunch supreme burrito is my all time favorite, but the fajitas are pretty spectacular, as well. I also enjoy that it’s a local business, not some chain restaurant that rolled into town and is serving us the same old slop that everyone around the country is getting. Every time is a fresh and unique experience.

I ate here with my child and got her the Kid’s taco and I ordered one spinach & cheese enchilada with the tomatilla sauce with a side of rice and beans… The bill was less than $ 8! Wow! Our family has now made this our takeout place with the spinach & cheese enchiladas with tomatilla sauce being our favorite so far. My daughter really likes their taco’s and rice. Waitstaff has always been attentive when we have eaten there and takeout is painless. We’ll keep coming back.

Here is what I ordered the Catfish Stuffed w/​Shrimp breaded and deep fried. Here is what I got instead 2 pieces of catfish (not stuffed) with shrimp in the middle of the 2 pieces of fish. What I’ll call a fish shrimp sandwich. What the hell? Anyway I was to tired to make a fuss about it. My dish also included rice and a salad loaded with onions. The fish was bland, shrimp and rice were salty. I only ate a bite of this mistake. I did order the Fried Ice Cream which was very good. This is the only reason I’m giving this place 2 stars.

Avocado’s has friendly service, great food, and clean. It has a wide option of Mexican food for everyone. It is classic.

I don’t know why everyone is so crazy about this place… I was recommended this place a few times within a couple days.
Maybe I just went on a bad day?
I ate here on Sunday, August 18, 2013 for lunch. Came with a party of 4 around 12:30 pm. Prime lunch time right? On the weekend? So the food is supposed to be fresh? I’m just confused.
I ordered a chimichanga. I’ve never gotten one like this before. It was ground beef wrapped in a flour tortilla with white queso on top, served with rice, beans, lettuce w/​guac, sour cream & pico de gallo.
It was horrid. The meat smelled. Bad. It was SO SALTY. I ended up eating the rice, beans, and lettuce and maybe 3 bites of the chimichanga. It just did not smell OR TASTE right. It tasted a bit old. I just couldn’t stomach it! And I was starving!!!
My friends got the taco salad which was totally loaded and looked visually appealing. It had the same ground meat though. They didn’t complain, but I am very sensitive to smell.
They also ordered a tortilla soup. I found that this dish was lacking flavor!!! It had broccoli and cauliflower florets in it! and carrots and fresh avocado… It was different. Quite a light and refreshing broth, but it did not taste very flavored. I guess it was called tortilla soup because it had a few small tortilla chips sprinkled on top…
I wouldn’t go back. I really don’t know what the hype is.
