Ok, the fake reviews are a little shameful, but myself and friends have been eating at Avocado Tree pretty regularly since it opened, and here's my take:
Chips with guacamole and salsa for 15 kuai: it's tasty and fresh and you really can't get a better deal for guacamole anywhere else in Beijing. Sooometimes the chips are a little too oily and get a bit soggy, but probably 8 out of the last 10 times, they've been crispy, lightly salty and good.
Sure, the burritos are not quite as exciting, but I tend to enjoy my chicken burrito every time I have it. Basically, though I wouldn't necessarily go just for the burrito, it's decent enough that I'm happy to have one with my chips and guac, which I would go for. I've never had mine fall apart on me like the other reviewer, though I've heard quite a few grumbles about the low meat ratio. Personally, I've been in a stage where I get grossed out when there's too much meat in stuff, so I don't tend to notice when there's "not enough." For me, I'm happy when I get some meat every second or third bite. Shrug. (Plus, I miss sweet corn here, and the black beans are a nice touch.)
If there's anything AT can be criticized for, it would be the inconsistency. Sometimes it's a gamble, but when it's on it's quite satisfying.
The girl who owns/manages the place also seems pretty eager to keep customers happy. Couple friends of mine suggested she serve beer and start one of those "Buy X burritos get one free" and she implemented both within a week or so.
I have to admit I'm selfishly bumping my rating to 4 stars, cuz I'm pretty stoked I can get good, reasonably-priced guacamole in wdk, and I'll be sad if that golden goose stops laying its eggs...
