Did you know: If this is your first time here, and you find a menu item that doesn't come standard with avocado, you get a free water on the rocks?
So I've heard about this chain for a few years now. I had never stopped in, but a coworker said we should go. So we went (weekday, 12 PM.) It wasn't too terribly busy, but the menu was kinda crazy. Aguacate en todo would be a more appropriate name for this place. As the rare resident of California that doesn't absolutely adore Avocado, I opted for the far left of the menu, which is chicken portions and 2 sides.
The chicken (breast and wing) was lackluster. The wing looked as though it had been slow-roasted in the parking lot for a few days. Great as a doorstop, not as great as something to ingest. The breast was alright, but the seasoning was pretty bland. Not crispy, not flavorful, just kinda there. Wait, was it breaded? I'm not sure.
The service was fine. On par with a fast food place. The orders were accurate, and the cashier almost overheated when someone used Android Pay. Oh well :)
Overall, it was something to check off my list. I...

This last time however the man in front of me finished ordering and then just kept chatting. Again normally I don't mind but I had to get my order in so I could use the restroom and get on the road.

I decided to scarf the little bowl of food before I left as It just hit the 3pm rush hour on 101. (No passenger, no carpool lane). But then I was glared at by a worker who came out to wash the windows of the building.. Yes, I'll go back and try it again :) it's been a usual stop for me.. maybe I can try the...
Read moreWaited in a long drive thru line to get my order taken by someone with the most attitude possible, constantly being cut off. I didn't receive my full order and the food I did get was either wrong or thrown together all sloppy. Once the bag was swung at me and in my hands that window shut and I was ignored even though I didn't receive everything. I had to walk in to what can only be described as a war zone. Employees were snapping at customers and even their manager. I said excuse me and was greeted with a rude "What?!", I politely asked for the rest of my order because I didn't want to perpetuate the situation. Got my food and left. Go to the Pollo in Petaluma if you want Pollo. In this area you can also go to...
