Avocado Cantina

Avocado Cantina is an absolute gem in Palm Beach Gardens! The space is colorful and energetic with a trendy and modern look. Great spot for a casual night out or meeting with friends for Happy Hour at the Tequila Bar. Taco Tuesday is a busy night with $5 Tacos. Their tacos are a must - I had the blackened shrimp with avocado and the Chicken Tortilla Soup. Delicious! Lots of selections to choose from on the cocktail menu with a variety of different type of margaritas. The servers are very friendly and the manager checks in with each table to make sure everything is great. Definitely a spot I will be coming back to. If you are in the area and craving modern Mexican with great ambiance, Avocado Cantina is a win.

We stopped here for dinner on a recent weekend getaway with another couple. The place was lively and bright. We enjoyed listening to the live music that was playing outside. The entrees were tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. We also ordered housemade guacamole for the table not pictured. It was fresh and creamy The Chicken Fajitas with Rice & Beans were seasoned to perfection. We definitely will return.

Timothy was very attentive and has a great sense of humor. He made sure everything was perfect and made excellent dining and cocktail recommendations. The chicken wet burrito in a bowl and the spicy cucumber margarita are magnificent! The music sets a festive fun atmosphere. I always come here when visiting Palm Beach Gardens. This place is the bomb! Definitely ask for Timothy.

Avocado Cantina delivered an amazing experience. The service was excellent, friendly, fast, and attentive from start to finish. The nachos were absolutely incredible, easily the best I’ve had so far, packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. While the place was a bit loud and the music was on the higher side, it actually added to the lively atmosphere, and we were still able to talk comfortably without shouting. Overall, a great spot for good food, good vibes, and great service. I will definitely be back.

We chose this venue randomly, waiting for the rest of the fam to pick us up. Now, I am a big fan of burritos and this one did not disappoint. Since we had to take it to go-we actually managed to make a meal for 2 into a meal for 4, and dinner and lunch even. Perhaps because we are European, but the portions are plentiful. My stepdaughter had tacos and they were delish. The attentiveness with water and guidance with the me u is a plus. I love all the details and design, yellow is such an understated color and works amazingly in this space. There were young people, whole families, couples... All in all greeat, the paying process took a while though, and we were in a hurry. A hip urban place to enjoy. Wish I could visit again. Grazias Mariana, you were lovely as well.

Great food and service at this restaurant in the mall. Our server Delmer M was extremely friendly and courteous.....the Chorizo Quesadilla with beans & Rice was awesome and enough for us to share. They have several beers on tap, specials throughout the week and plenty of seating inside and out.

Solid 3.5 stars! Very cute decor, they also have live music on Fridays! Great happy hour and taco Tuesday deals in food and drinks. It was probably the best fajitas I’ve ever had, so much flavor! My only gripe is that she asked if I wanted flour or corn tortillas. I didn’t know the difference and asked if they could give me 1 of each w my 3 tortillas so I can try. They forget and sent out a separate order of tortillas and charged me $2. Also the sides of guacamole, sour cream and pico are soooo small and there was a $1 upcharge for extra sour cream. I hate when restaurants nickel and dime you to death.

Jorge provided us with great service. He kindly asked for permission for our dog to sit on one of the outside couches since the floor was wet from the rain. Food was really good and service was fast

Love everything about this place. The nachos are out of this world. I would recommend anything on their menu.

A group of friends met for dinner at Avocado Cantina last night. The restaurant is open, cheerful and the place has a comfortable feel. The tequila list is impressive - although I typically order a margarita, a good sipping tequila is a nice option. The menu is interesting but the food a bit inconsistent. The wet burrito under salsa verde was excellent. It was well seasoned, really stuffed and the chicken tasty. On the other hand, the chicken fajitas were virtually unseasoned. That said, the portion was quite large. The smash burger was tasty. As a starter, the guacamole was well balanced, but the avocado not fully mashed up. Our service was disappointing. Perhaps because of a too-large station, our server was just not around. That's too bad, because she was nice and friendly. One last note: the live music was actually pretty good - but obscenely too loud. A group of six friends catching up; we had to shout to hear each other - despite being seated as far away from the music as possible. (It is a per peeve of mine when the music overpowers the venue, so it's not just Avocado Cantina.)

We have tried this place a couple of times due to the lack of other Mexican restaurants in the area. Unfortunately, the food either leaves us disappointed or makes us sick (bloated, heavy and gassy) later on. Also, be careful if you go for happy hour. They advertise as having Margaritas being 1/2 off but when you order them they ask you if you want a different tequila and if you choose a different tequila, the 1/2 off does not apply. This a trick the severs play w

Surprised how good this place was given reviews. Granted, went on Taco Tuesday with taco and marg specials which may have pushed the food up, but found the food tasty! Great guac and STUFFED gringo and fried fish tacos were on point a super pleasant atmosphere with attentive service from the outside barman! Nothing transcendent, but high-quality, filling and much better than average grub.

I really enjoyed my trip to Avocado Cantina! I went on a Friday around 3 pm. It was pretty dead but the interior of the building is so beautiful. My partner and I opened to share the chicken fajitas and everything was so flavorful. The service was a little slow regarding getting extra tortillas and locating some hot sauce but it really allowed us to be in the moment and take our time. I would definitely return for happy hour to try their margaritas!

Saw this place on instagram and headed there while in west palm beach. The atmosphere is super nice, lots of colorful art. Indoor & outdoor seating. We started off with a Queso fundido, a hot chessy & chorizo appetizer served with chips. We asked for tortillas as well, super yummy. I also ordered the Elote corn, super delicious ! The best Ive ever had. We also had steak tacos with rice & beans. Tacos were overfilled with meat, perfectly cooked & tasty. This place is worth the journey for fresh Mexican food.

These fish tacos on happy hour were so good. The margaritas were good and strong. The bartender did make mine skinny, and it was still good. The inside, as you can see, is decorated accordingly. The staff were a friendly, I went on a Tuesday and the band was starting as we were leaving. Definitely a bang for your buck.

Great food, atmosphere and vibes. I enjoyed almost everything we had. From the drinks to the food it's worth giving them a try and deciding yourself. I would definitely check them out for happy hour because they have really good deals, I believe it's from 3-6 p.m. Monday to Friday. The guacamole was said to be housed made but it honestly was cold and tasted like something out of a jar, that's my only complaint. I do have to shout out Alejandro, our server. He was so much fun and on point with it all. I

Good food, value, service...can get crowded on Tuesday when live music is there. Would recommend nachos

First off....I love the ambiance and music of this place! It puts the beach vibe out heavily. You will immediately know why it's called a Cantina as soon as you enter and see the loooooong list of tequilas, mezcals and specialty drinks. Hostesses were exactly what you want as the first impression. Cute and smiley, they helped us get to the bar and recommended we try a margarita. If you are looking to drown your sorrows or party hard....there is enough options here to placate a US Navy warship Sailors. They also have a great happy hour from 3-6 Monday through Friday with $5 margaritas and good concessions. $25 pitchers of margaritas will make this a great place for the girls club at 5:05pm for an after work meet up. Come on out and enjoy!!

From an atmosphere perspective, This place is located inside of an outdoor mall that is super cute! There is plenty of lighting and outdoor seating if you would like. Food wise, everything was very fresh and delicious. Churassco was juicy and tender. Serving size is hefty! Chips and salsa are free. The side of Mac and cheese is worth it!! Very cheesy, flavorful and creamy. Our waitress was very attentive and was able to provide recommendations and went above and beyond. This place doesn't break the bank and will leave you feeling satisfied.

Food I had was mediocre but the atmosphere is fantastic! Music and drinks are great...service is ok. It's a pretty busy place. The ceviche appetizer is the only thing I would not order again. It was like a bowl of onions.

Loved the decor of this spot. It's pretty casual and super cute. I ordered a Lychee martini that was delicious. The carne asada tacos were delicious as well and hearty. The guacamole could had been a little better. It was pretty disappointing if i could make better at home. There's also no tacos Al carte option, you have to get the side of rice and beans. Which is an entire meal. The service was great though. I would say the prices are a bit high for the complexity of the plates and the ambiance. I would understand if there was a special view to out weight the high price but there isn't. The restaurant is located in a plaza setting. Overall it's an expensive Mexican restaurant that's not fancy but more casual. I would definitely go give it a try if you're in the area.

I think the environment is great but I was not a fan of the food. I was craving some authentic Mexican food and while im not saying it wasn't authentic I think it lacked flavor for me, I ordered the enchiladas and it wasn't my favorite. The price was also pretty high for Mexican food overall in my opinion. I did not drink any alcohol but it looks like many enjoy the beverages. The staff was very friendly I just wish the flavors were better.

Atmosphere is cute and trendy. Food portions are large but lack taste. Service is horrible and slow. Drinks are overpriced.

Really wonderful experience on a Friday night. It surprisingly wasn't busy around 6PM so we were seated with no problem. Great ambiance and food/drink. Our server wasn't the most attentive but there were plenty of people on the floor that helped us out. The steak fajitas were divine and I would love to order them again or even try something else. Prices aren't cheap but it's a nice scale Mexican spot with a romantic surrounding area. This would also be a good celebration place or for a family gathering. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

The food was amazing. It was very flavorful & prepared fast. The server was super sweet and attentive. The only thing I can say is that the items add up fast. We had to purchase salsa separately from the guac.

Food was delicious and served promptly without a rushed feeling. Margarita was good and they have an extensive tequila menu. Sat outside and it was lovely! Will definitely come back next time we are at Nats Spring Training!

Today was my second overall visit to avocado cantina but first time for brunch. I wasn't in the mood to drink but my boyfriend opted to get their bottomless. 19 per person and you have a choice of mimosas, bloody Mary, Bloody Maria, Palomas, and margaritas. You can change it up as you wish with no time limit quoted on the menu. He started with a paloma which was a bit too sweet so he switched to margaritas which he liked better. For food I ordered the Birria tacos (3 for 27) with a side of whole avocado and he ordered the Huevos rancheros (17) with rice and beans. I have to admit dating a Mexican from LA has given me an extremely high standard for birria tacos and these just do not cut it. The tacos were not nearly crispy enough and the consume was oddly sweet. The whole avocado was great as it is in a vingeratte with Pico and cheese on it. Really refreshing and tasty. He thought his huevos rancheros were good but nothing special. Service was good with no issues. I wouldnt make a special trip but I'd come back if in the area but I would try something else.

Went for brunch and had the fish tacos fried. The place is ok. The food could have been seasoned a little better.

Food is good and all, but I struggle with the ridiculous prices. $15 for a small bowl of guac? They charge you for chips when most other (I could name 3 or 4 off the top of my head) Tex-Mex places give them away. I guess they market themselves as some sort of Tequila Boutique and have justified charging $24 for an enchilada plate based on locale. Service was OK, no specials or anything to really inspire a return visit. The decor is pretty nice, decent music and atmosphere. Personally, I can find better steak meals in the mid $20 to low $30 range, so why pay that much for shredded chicken & beans on a tortilla? I wish them luck!

Favorite Mexican spot in PBG! Love the guac, tacos, fajitas, and quesadillas. I visit probably twice a month & always have a great time. The vibe and food is unmatched!

Been here a few times with just the Mrs. Once and met some friends another time or two. What a great place. The vibe is quite energetic and a little loud but who does not love a happening place? The food and drinks are great, we've had numerous dishes and all were tasty and well-portioned. Notably I recall a gun cocktail with jalapeño and it was weirdly good. I had two and really enjoyed the gin and heat blend. Service was good each time. The staff was on their game and attentive. Management stopped by the table to inquire how things were going and if we needed anything. I always like that especially when it feels like they are asking out of real care for the customer. Finally, being there at sunset is a great experience with the changing colors of light in the courtyard and how it makes you notice the day melting into evening. That, great company, superb food, and a tasty cocktail, what else would you want?

Have been here a couple of times and while the decor is nice the service was lacking on the first visit and for our second visit we had ok service but ALL of our food was brought out all at once as in APPS and Entrees . The annoying thing is is that we were tasked with trying to figure out how to make it all fit on our table! from there, the waitress disappeared, so we we couldn't get refills on our drinks, and it felt like we were being rushed so we ended up taking half of our stuff to go. Overpriced, food was hit or miss and service needs to get retrained. The thing that is most significant to me is if I'm going to pay close to $200 for a dinner for 4, I better have excellent food, excellent service, and my drinks need to keep coming! We all want to have an "experience" when we go out - otherwise if I want to be ignored and eat bland food I'll just stay at home and cook myself.

Food was excellent. Very fresh, creative, delicious, and clearly made with care. Service was top notch. Food came out quickly and our server was extremely attentive. I highly recommend this place. If you happen to stop by during happy hour, even better, as it allows a taste of many different items for a very reasonable price. Margaritas were great too!

Friday they have a live band and it becomes a little party after about 8ish. It was so fun! They all dance with one another, invite you to dance and are so sweet! They seem like a family. The restaurant is very nicely decorated. The short rib quesadilla was good. It comes with one side and I got the Mac & Queso. I was nervous about the Mac, but it was very good. My boyfriend got an Ancho chicken wet burrito which was HUGE! He loved it. The drinks all seemed so appealing, but a little to sweet for my liking. We had the Take me to Tulum, Kiwi mojito and lychee margarita. The Jalisco mule was one of the best and was not sweet at all. Overall. Very nice place to have drinks, a meal and enjoy the entertainment! We will be back.

I always enjoy my lunch here and the ambiance is so nice. The staff is very polite, professional and attentive. Huge kudos to my server Darlin for making my most recent experience even more delightful.

Food was delish! Will definitely return for me. Strong margaritas and amazing tacos. Very accommodating. Great ambiance friendly and fast service.

The Avocado Cantina is known for its imaginative cuisine and tropical flavors. My favorite dishes are their shrimp and octopus ceviche. But one must try their pork belly Benedict which is available for brunch. The chef creative and personal passion in making this dish is worth speaking about. He slow-roasts the pork belly overnight and served the following day for brunch on grilled sourdough bread along with poached eggs, pineapple salsa, and hollandaise. Yum!! I have loved their Chicken Fajitas, the best I have had in a Mexican restaurant. Avocado Cantina has an interesting Tequila menu which actual features Mezcal. I love Mezcal, and I would agree with the restaurant that Mezcal popularity is growing.

Good ambiance, good location. Is pretty busy. Food is low quality. Obviously not authentic Mexican cuisine but I don't think anyone comes here for authentic taste/flavor of Mexico. Have lively dancing and social scene if that is your vibe.

Unfortunately, I have to update my review and drop a star from the rating. It appears that recently they have removed a la carte tacos from their menu and they do not allow you to add individual tacos to another order. In the past, I have enjoyed coming to this place specifically because I am able to order a taco on the side of any other meal that I am craving that day. Currently, you have to order a taco meal which only comes with two tacos for $16 and if you would like additional tacos and flavors you have to order a whole extra meal that also will come with additional rice/beans. Unfortunately this will make it so that I am less likely to come to this establishment in the future which is a disappointment. Hopefully they go back to the previous menu or make some other changes accordingly at which time I will adjust my rating again.

Sunday lunch. Prompt service, a little pricey but no complaints about the quality. I guess I'm used to large servings and taking leftovers home. This was plenty to eat for lunch but no extras. Two carne asada tacos, side of beans and rice. $18 plus tax and tip. Decor was cute and contemporary, not 'white tablecloth', but geared towards a younger crowd.

1000/10 recommend! The interior design/ decor is phenomenal! They decorated for the holiday season as well. I had the Short Rib Birria Tacos & a Whole Avocado on the side along with a Mango Lemonade to drink. Everything was absolutely delicious! I'm just so pleased with my experience & the food served at this restaurant. They also have hand sanitizer on the tables which is very smart in my opinion. I CANNOT WAIT to go back here. Seriously one of the best restaurants I have ever been to.

Taco Tuesday was an absolute delight! We had a party of 10, we were warmly greeted. The live music made it for a great ambiance. And let's talk about those tacos - scrumptious doesn't even begin to describe them! From the flavorful fillings to the corn tortillas, each bite was a tasty. Definitely coming back.

I have been here twice now and had tacos both times. This week I tried the shrimp and carne asada taco. I always forget to ask if they have flour tortillas because I really dislike corn... but I digress. The shrimp taco was good but I felt like it was missing a little something. The carne asada meat was so flavorful. The pickled onions were good but a little spicy.. I imagine they pickle them with jalapeños. The guacamole (not pictured) was great and the tortilla chips have a little seasoning on them that make them even tastier. The queso was good as well. The drinks here are always very good and our server provided his favorites as recommendations. Our server was great and was very attentive. The ambiance is great here and if you come late night Friday or Saturday they have an outside bar and dancing! It's lit! My favorite part of this place is the decor it's so much style! Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Loved the vibe here and the fresh healthy options, like lettuce cups for the tacos and cucumbers with the Guac in stead of chips!! Service was great and the decor is super fresh!! Can't wait to explore the menu more and come back to try some margs!! Happy to say that this will be a place I'll spend my money again for sure!!

Been here 25 min and counting waiting for two tacos and guac for take out.. after being put on hold for a while when calling ahead to order and eventually just made it here before they took me off hold. Also, they don't sell nachos (right!?). Besides that, if you're willing to wait and don't want nachos, the food and drinks are good. So to conclude: good food, but crappy service (have had issues few times before as well).

I took my husband here for his birthday. We are big foodies. The staff was amazing we had Mariana G. as our waitress she was so sweet and explained the menu and gave us amazing recommendations. Pedro the manager was great greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed and told us about an upcoming event . The food was amazing we got the mac and queso and chips with queso and chicken enchiladas wow ! the lemonade was so fresh and not to sweet. i highly recommend this place we will definitely be back again on the nights they have music!

Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. The restaurant was beautiful and had lots of great art pieces. I enjoyed the kiwi mojito, but the cucumber drink and the tulum drink I would not get again. All drinks were at least $15 unless you got a beer. The corn appetizer was one ear of corn and hard to share, but the pork nachos portion was large and delicious. We contemplated getting a pitcher, but saw they were made with mostly ice and one 3-4 shots of alcohol. They do not have a kids menu, but thankfully my son likes quesadillas.

Great brunch and assuming a great dinner Food was fresh We had three taco combo with corn tortillas Carne asada , shrimp and grilled fish. Rice and beans wee good Had a octopus salad. It was a whole testicle. Nicely done. Cooked perfectly. Fun atmosphere and great music. Would come back for their live music nights

So this place is okay. Food is decent nothing to rave about. The decor here is really pretty. Service could be better, for its not the best. Waitresses look sad and as if they hate their jobs. What I didn't like about this place is that they automatically put 20% tip on all the bills. One thing about me I don't like it when restaurants force tip because that should be optional. Why would I tip someone who's service is horrible. And on top of that they had the nerve to ask for more tip after you swipe your card. Won't be coming back, for there are other better Tex Mex places in the area.

The party atmosphere and the live music was definitely a good move by the owners. Food was delicious but not filling (that was my fault, i only got a quesadilla and apps). I had to stop on the way home and buy food again. The service was great!

Been looking for a good Mexican restaurant and I think I found one. Had the spicy habanero margurita and it was quite good. Had the queso and chips which were very flavorful. I had the smoked carnitas quesadilla that was crispy and flavorful. My wife had the wet burrito that was also good. Service was great as well and the outdoor seating is dog friendly.

Our new "go to" place! Always went to Rocco's Tacos for years but I have to say now we have tried Avocado Cantina a few times in the last few months, I'm not going back to Rocco's anymore due to prices. Service is fast & our order was accurate every visit. Absolutely love the side of avocado in the dish with the balsamic dressing. Their guacamole isn't a great as Rocco's but still very good & every thing else was better on Avocado Cantinas menu. The Mariachi Band playing on Saturday evenings was fun. I've tried this restaurant both or lunch & dinner & it is great!

Food was ok. Service was good and everyone was very nice and helpful. Good place for drinks for sure. Nice indoor and outdoor areas

Excellent enchiladas and rice. I loved the atmosphere and the ambiance. It was flavourful and tasty. The only issue that I had was the fact that they did not have an option to order delicious creamy and cheesy refried beans. If it weren't for that, I will give them five stars.

Especially being a bartender myself, I almost never write reviews. However myself and 7 of my friends (also bartenders and servers) sat at the outside table near the bar and had some of the worst service ever. My friend never got her tortillas for her fajitas, so she never got to eat, when the bartender returned to us for the first and last time that night, she refused to take them off the bill. My second drink never hit the table, and almost everyone at the table was served the wrong drink at least once. The bartender proceeded to add gratuity and not tell us. Some of my friends tipping extra for basically no service at all.

We sat outside with our small dog. The guacamole was excellent for a restaurant. The servers were very friendly and helpful.

First time here and the ambience was great! Love the decor and whoever was playing the live music. Apparently they have Latin music only on Fridays! Might have to come on a Friday to experience it. I believe Frank is the manager and it was nice for him to go around and making sure every customer was happy. As for food, we loved everything! We ordered the shrimp and octopus ceviche (excellent). Chicken quesadilla was perfect as well, the chicken had really good flavor. Thank god it wasn't bland chicken with just cheese in it. Tacos were delicious too. Ordered the palmitas, pork belly, and grilled fish. My favorite was the grilled fish. The pork belly was a bit on the drier side even tho pork belly is supposed to be fatty? But nonetheless it was still yummy. I will definitely be going back! The only thing that kinda deters me away is the price! It is kinda steep for Mexican food. But a good place to splurge with your date!

Great food & leeche martini. Very clean, service was average! Nice place for. Meet up with friends. Will ho back
