That's right... we're talking about the Kissing The Beehive Cocktail at Avo Modern Mexican. Ever heard of it? Well, this is one local business that belongs on your bucket list. Take a look:
Welcome to Avo Modern Mexican in Cleveland!
Avo Modern Mexican is a fairly new dining concept that opened in Ohio City in 2020. It operates in the old Bakersfield location, and it's truly delicious.
This chic eatery is, as its name implies, modern, clean, and internationally inspired.
The restaurant, brought to you by the same group spearheading Lago and Char Whiskey Bar & Grille, features favorites like burritos, ceviche, street corn, and more.
As is the case with many delectable Mexican dishes, the entrees always seem to feature some sort of artistic splash of color...
The menu is diverse enough to delight even picky eaters, offering basics like fries, chips and dip, and tacos. They also offer modern dishes like maple brussels, creative avocado dishes (goat cheese anyone?!?!), and more.
...And the same is true when it comes to the selection of cocktails!
Margaritas are a go-to Mexican favorite, and Avo offers unique flavors like lavender, habanero, and pineapple.
The cocktails come complete with fun names, like "Kissing The Beehive," which refers to the lovely peach-colored drink on the left.
This particular cocktail has sweetness with a kick. Honey, grapefruit, a bit of habanero syrup, and a jalapeno salt rim will tempt your taste buds... but also might have the power to make you crave some water to wash down that spice.
While the food features many familiar dishes, like this burrito verde, you can find all sorts of groundbreaking flavor combinations on the menu.
The verde burrito has all the traditional fixins' and is smothered in verde salsa and pico de gallo. Connect with Avo on Facebook to explore other unique options on the menu!
The same is true when you check out the smaller plate options... these plates are amazingly big on flavor!
Try something unique like BBQ carnitas nachos, or opt for something familiar like salsa. Whatever you choose, your taste buds will appreciate your visit.
If you're looking for a new hangout in Ohio City, you and your friends should try Avo... you just might fall in love.
Chic, laid back, and located just steps away from some of Ohio City's most interesting attractions, this restaurant is a fun place to hang out.
Remember to bring a sense of adventure on at least your first visit, because it's well worth breaking your comfort zone to try the offerings.
Seriously, it's worth trying something new here! You just might find a new favorite dish.
