4 to 5 stars for the "Ostrich!"…read more Bottom line: This is a fun place with really good food. FOOD: We had 6 different taco plates and small plates. Only the pork belly tacos were sub par (the pork belly was over done - dry and tough). The seasoning on EVERYTHING (including, I might add, the pork belly tacos) was really great. The tamale bites and dipping sauce were my personal favorite. Not sure I wanna know the nutritional information for that one, but the dish was outstanding. My wife got both the raw oysters and baked oysters...whatever...she loved both. SERVICE: Stephanie did a great job of getting our order right, and keeping the food coming. She made excellent suggestions; important because we didn't know the menu. ATMOSPHERE: Fun and loud. It's a little too loud to have an intimate conversation, and it doesn't have the same amount of personality as a similar place, Deseo (in Cricket West), but it's fun, clean, and new. DRINKS: If you're drinkin', Avestruz is serving some pretty good cocktails. I'd give this category to Deseo, as well however. Overall, Avestrutz is a great addition to this part of town. For upscale Mexican, I'd give the nod to Deseo, BUT, we will come back here...plenty. 5 stars, for now.

With the sheer number of dining options in Toledo, we almost never hit the same spot twice in one…read moremonth--so the fact that we showed up at Avestruz twice in one week? That's saying something. Now, let's talk about "Ostrich Towne"--yes, that's what it's called. The branding is... let's go with "mysterious," and from the outside, it's hard to tell there's something amazing happening in there. But oh, there is. If you wait too long to try Avestruz, you're going to kick yourself when it blows up and the lines wrap around the parking lot. We found out about it through friends who were basically raving about how often they've been going--like, suspiciously often. And on our first visit, a packed Friday night with a line out the door, I got it. I was already late to the party. But then we went back that Wednesday, snagged a seat fast, got our food even faster, and realized: we've still got time to squeeze in a few more visits before patio season hits and Ostrich Towne goes full unhinged. Inside, Avestruz is spotless, modern, and way more stylish than you'd expect from a place parked in a development named after a large flightless bird. The menu? Wildly creative but laser-focused in flavor. The Caesar salad (yes, really) might be the best in Toledo. The tacos? Incredible. Oysters? A dream. Queso and chorizo dip? Say goodbye to self-control. It's all dialed in. The staff is genuinely hyped to be there, and the family behind the kitchen clearly knows what they're doing. Plus, the whole thing is part of this surprising revival in a part of Toledo that had basically been in hibernation for decades. Bottom line: get yourself to Avestruz Tapas & Tequila before you start hearing everyone else talk about how they went before it got cool. You've been warned.

We each had different dishes-- Green Chile Stew, Three Sisters (I asked for a combo of chorizo and beef and they said, "Of course!"), Sandia Sopapilla with shredded beef. All were excellent and were attractively plated-- it wouldn't have mattered, but it was those little extras that really elevated the experience. We were also given a bowl of their latest salsa to try-- sweet and mildly spicy watermelon! We are regulars here and always enjoy the food and the pleasant ambiance, but this brunch was truly exceptional. We ended our meal with a plate of puffy Sopapillas with honey to share. Delicious! **This is New Mexican and NM-inspired food, not the same as Mexican or Tex-Mex.** If you're not familiar with it, you may ask for samples of sauces and meats before you order! NM cuisine is less about piles of cheese and taco shells and more about the flavors of their regional peppers (which they fly in fresh here!). It's a blend of Mexican, Spanish and Pueblo Indigenous foods, not American-Mexican. And yes, you still get great chips & salsa, but you're going to want to pass on the refills to make room for the stars of the meal-- the e

Our server was friendly and provided great service. I started my meal with a beer. They offer many popular Mexican Lager style beers on draft and in cans. They also have rotating drafts. I opted for an IPA draft. The beer paired well with the chips and salsa. I struggled making a decision as many brunch items looked great. I landed on the Hueveos New Mexican. This was different from most brunch items I tried but it was very good. The green chile pork had a bit of heat for me but I still enjoyed it. The tortillas, sauce and queso were all excellent. Whether you are looking for brunch, lunch or dinner I recommend giving Chile Verde a try. They are three for three in my limited sample size.

All three had flavor, personality, and just enough mess to prove they don't skimp on the good stuff. (If your taco doesn't drip, did you even taco?) For dessert, I went all in with the Cheesecake Chimi. Imagine cheesecake got invited to a cinnamon-sugar carnival and decided never to leave. Crunchy, sweet, and dangerously addictive. The service was fast, the place was clean, and my only regret is that I didn't order extra napkins up front. Verdict: Come for the tacos, stay for the chimi, and wear a shirt you're not afraid to baptize in salsa.
