★★★★★ 5.0 Amal Ezzaki · Jun 2025

After hiking Pilot Mountain, we stopped in town for lunch and chose El Aguacate…and wow, what an incredible choice! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and relaxing. Everything we ordered was flavorful and fresh, but the highlight of the meal was definitely dessert. Do not leave without trying the Mocha tres leches cake! It’s rich, moist, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for anyone passing through or looking for a top-notch dining experience. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Krystal Gentry · Jul 2024

Atmosphere: Bright, clean, and colorful atmosphere inside. Kid friendly but also a fun couples spot. We ate here on a Friday around 3pm, and it was very quiet and peaceful. I imagine it may be louder during peak times. Selection: Menu may not be as broad as some places, but I love that the selections have more of an authentic feel. Chips and salsa were immediately brought to the table, and service was quick. Food: I had lunch tamales w rice & beans. My husband ordered the chicken soup with a small salad. Food was yummy and just what I was craving. Drinks & Dessert: Plenty of drink choices, including tea, soda, beers, and mixed drinks. Dessert choices seemed super delicious (I would love to visit again just for dessert). Churro Cupcake anyone? Would definitely visit again.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jon Marshall · Mar 2026

The best Mexican Restaurant in Surry County. Great food, great service, ran by a great team of managers, cooks, and servers. I recommend it to every person I know and plenty of people I don't know.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Erin Acosta · Nov 2024

Stopped in on our way through town based on the reviews. The establishment is very clean. The staff is very friendly. The food was ok… we’ve had better but it was worth trying at least..
