Avo Modern Mexican - Cleveland

This place is 100% a vibe, especially in the summer!! I go once a year in the summer but I need to go more!! 1000

We came in on a Saturday afternoon with 7 and a cake for a birthday. The host asked if we had a cake and said normally there 's a charge. They went in the back and came out and said it was ok. They brought us waters but seemed to be annoyed as he slammed the water glasses on the table. Our server Brooke took our drink and food orders and the food came out very quickly! Food was delicious! Came time for cake and Brooke told us about the $2/person charge so we told her about what the host said. When the checks came we were not charged for the cake (thank you) but we were charged gratuity for a large party. There were 7 of us. Sadly, the attitude of both the host and the server changed my opinion of this establishment with amazing food. Our group consisted of people from the service industry so we get it. Brooke would have gotten tipped more had she not added the gratuity for a party of 7- anywhere we 've worked its been gratuity for parts 8 or more. We REALLY loved the food but will probably not be back because we did not feel welcomed. Thanks.

I got the birria tacos and they were better than han some, but in ok, not the experience I was looking for. I feel I just should make my own, they are not hard. I lived in Texas, so I know a good taco and it's so hard to compare especially up north. I can make them myself but sometimes it's good to be served A1 when you don't feel like cooking. But sometimes I believe it's worth cooking it yourself especially when you learned your technique from the border. It's definitely authentic. Unlike up north.I personally want authentic not Americanized Mexican food and that for all Mexican restaurants in Ohio.

The trendy street of W 25th in Ohio City near downtown embraces a modern Mexican restaurant that I love to visit. Avo hosts creative take on traditional culinary flavors. On my last date night there, we stepped inside the chill ambiance and enjoyed a fusion of contemporary and traditional charm. The staff is friendly, approachable, and attentive; taking care not to rush but still quick to deliver on food and drink.On the delightful array of tasty menu items, the fresh guacamole offers are a must. While the Caca guac is a trustworthy and scrumptious go-to for me, the lively Goat Cheese guac is a mouthwatering innovation to those who want a special tang. If guac is not your thing, count on the blended cheeses of melted chihuahua, oaxaca, manchego, and asadero in their fundido (especially with chorizo) with lime salted corn chips to arouse your palate!The chipotle quesadilla is a culinary adventure. Every bite of its flour shell, melted cheese, chorizo, chipotle crema, sautéed peppers and onions is a celebration of flavors, every bit as visually stunning as it is delectable; adding a spread of sour cream only has me craving more.For dinners, the cocktails are an ideal complement of crafted concoction. The Emma, Get Me a Lemon, with its limoncello, vanilla vodka, simple syrup, lemon, marshmallow fluff, egg white, toasted meringue, and graham cracker has a lingering, almost savory style that leaves me surprisingly warm inside for a cold drink. The house margarita is nothing to shy away from though! The mi campo blanco, gran gala, housemade mix, and lime present a novel zest with relaxed familiarity. Add a house-made syrup (pistachio for the intrepid among you) for a stimulating enhancement of character.

What a great find in the heart of Ohio City! Loved the atmosphere, service, and the food!
