"If you listen carefully on a Sunday afternoon, you can hear a saxophone moaning on Datura Street. It’s Avocado Grill’s call to brunch, luring you to an afternoon filled with margaritas, guacamole, and a passionate saxophonist. They serve lunch and dinner, but brunch is what this Mexican-adjacent restaurant is known for. It’s the kind where people keep their sunglasses on inside. But despite the bongos thumping in the corner, the food is decent. Our favorite dish is the crunchy rock shrimp bang bang with green papaya salad. If you want to party, arrive after 3pm, when the music gets louder and so do the people. You might even get lucky enough to see the saxophonist mount the bar for a rendition of “Careless Whisper.” video credit: Virginia Otazo video credit: Virginia Otazo" - Virginia Otazo
