I had the wonderful ability to visit Aguacates on Feb. 25, 2022 with my sweet girl friend and let me tell you, the food was beyond amazing. The flavor components, the freshness of the ingridients, the sizzling of the hot food, the rich tasting drinks, the culturally live and bright environment, the lovely waitresses, everything was on point for me. They welcome you with fresh chips and salsa too. I immediately knew that I was going to order some steak from this place because Mexican style steak tastes so unique and flavorful. It’s one of my favorites. I also had their horchata and it was so rich and smooth. Below is a picture of what I had the pleasure of experiencing!
