    I don't even know where to begin. This place was fantastic the last year. The owner started leaving since they opened another place up in Blackwood. I have yet to be there, I think it's a grocery store. Well, every time he (the owner) is not present at that restaurant, it's like no one can mange that place correctly. It's honestly disappointing. I work in Bellmawr and we USED to enjoy ordering here for Taco Tuesday but everything has been reduced in size and so have the portions. I also noticed we were charged for Al Pastor Tuesday but did not request this. I ordered 3 regular tacos like I always do and somehow was given 4 mini tacos. Not sure why I'm being charged for a side salsa. I'm okay with a smaller portion on that not reduced meat. I eat more tortilla and vegetables than Al Pastor meat. Once the owner is present at the restaurant, then we don't have issues. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem but this is our 6th time having this issue and most likely won't be ordering again if we hear that he's not there. It's an inconvenience for the amount we're being charged and not matching with the amount of food being offered. I had baby sized bite pieces for lunch. I wouldn't even consider that a spoonful.

    This place is definitely not authentic Mexican food. The food is more like something you can get at chipotle. The red sauce was very sweet with no spice at all. I personally don't like my sauce for my tacos to be sweet so that definitely wasn't something I would want to try again. The food was 2.5/5 the asada and carnitas were very dry with not much taste. The campechano tacos were definitely my least favorite. I also had the fried ice cream and that was actually very good !! I would come back just to pick up dessert.

    I'm always on the lookout for good Mexican food and will happily drive a long distance to get the good stuff. When I noticed that a new Mexican place had opened close to home, I had to check it out right away. With the COVID pandemic limiting us to only getting takeout, close is a good thing. Their menu includes all of the standards, so we ordered a bunch of stuff to make our own sampler. Yeah, we'd have a lot leftover, but if it's good, who cares! When I say the standards, I mean tamales, enchiladas, chiles rellenos and few other items. Sure, they have a lot more than this on the menu, but if they can make these items well, they can probably win me over. Well, they certainly won me over and I have a new go-to place for Mexican food! ALL of the dishes that we ordered were some of the best I've had anywhere. I can't wait to go back and pick up some of their steak dishes. I look forward to the day when it's safe to start eating out at restaurants again because Avocado Mexican Grill will be on my list of places to go. However, their great food and close proximity to home means I'll be ordering curbside pickup many more times between now and then! Plus, despite only interacting with the staff on the phone and at the car window, they were incredibly friendly and helpful.

    Not great, not awful. Definitely Americanized Mexican fare. The extended family got together and ordered a number of dishes to share. The chiles rellenos platter was listed as, "flame roasted poblano peppers stuffed with chicken and cheese." Oddly, this meant there were two peppers, one stuffed with only cheese, the other stuffed with only chicken (which resulted in the only dry chili rellenos I've ever eaten). Did it deliver what was described, technically yes, but it was definitely disappointing. The chicken avocado salad was awful. The same dry chicken slapped on top of a few handfuls of lettuce, olives, and slapped on pico and corn relish in a gummy shell bowl. Terrible. Both kids' beef tacos orders seemed good enough for them to polish off quickly, so well done there. The chorizo street tacos were also okay, but nothing noteworthy. Definitely far inferior compared to the Trenton area Mexican places we're accustomed to. We don't make it down to the Runnemede area nearly enough for me to attempt another visit here, there are too many better choices in the area. Sadly, one and done for us.

    This is my third time ordering from this place and let me tell youuuu! Their food is BUSSIN you hear me! I had to tell the world how authentic and well put together their Shrimp Tacos are. I dont know what sauce they used in it but it is AMAZING okay. Then I ordered the churros, it came with the caramel dip..Delicious! Must eat it warm though. If it gets cold, just heat it up in the microwave for 10 seconds and it taste just as good. Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in town!

    Ingredients were good, but the steak needs to be better, 14 dollars is crazy, maybe 11 or 10

    Terrible food. Don't recommend, I believe they switched their cooks as the food was decent but now is poor. So sad.

    We were in the area for a food truck festival but wanted to try out one of the restaurants in the…read morearea. This restaurant is in a strip mall with a Mexican bodega. We walked in and sat ourselves. The server came over with the menu and we decided to share the mixto fajitas. The server came and brought some complimentary chips and some beans with cheese on top. Very small serving but enjoyed the "starter". She then brought out our mixto fajitas with 3 homemade tortillas. They were a little thicker and puffier than regular tortillas. They were very good! We wished we had gotten one more so we could each have two. The amount of meat and veggies was perfect. Much more shrimp than I had anticipated. The shrimp were big, butterflied and flavorful. I can imagine other dishes on the menu being very good. The decor was festive. There is a TV that is blaring which was a little distracting. They have a few cases with drinks and some desserts and Mexican snacks. We would definitely go back.

    This was my first time here. Several Mexicans told me that their food is good…read more Fajitas: I have never previously gotten fajitas without some lettuce and pico de gallo on the side. This came with neither, and I had to pay $1.50 more for a small cup of pico de gallo, which tasted like it had no jalapeños in it. I had to put a lot of salt on all of the food. I don't generally add salt to my food at restaurants. I don't generally need to. Especially Mexican restaurants. The beef was good. I never had cheese melted onto my fajitas either. I think it was Oaxaca cheese, but I'm not sure. There was no cheese on the side, which I'm used to. While the meat and peppers and onions had a decent flavor after adding a lot of salt, the guacamole was just a pile of green mush. (I thought it had tomatoes and jalapeños in it, but this did not.) the refried beans were just tasteless paste. Very thin. The salsa that came with the chips in the beginning of the meal had virtually no heat, and didn't taste anything like tomatoes or red peppers, but was red. Vegetarian burrito: just disappointing. The rice and beans were stuffed inside, nothing served on the side. We are of the opinion that the food items were made fairly fresh with fresh product, but just simply had no flavor. I am usually concerned about high heat in Mexican food. No heat here. None at all. Boring AF. I recently spent a few years in Arizona, and my problem with most Mexican restaurants is that they are Americanized. Not this one. Just boring AF. And yes, worth saying that again. The TV was blaring some television show. Too loud. Service was so-so. So, we leave and decide to sit on the edge of the parking lot, retaining wall. Right by the Shell gas station. In pulls Mr. Softee. Yay!!! it was pallet saving! And I hate soft-serve.
