Not a lot to distinguish. I wouldn't avoid it, but I wouldn't drive past a Chipotle to get here.

The one star is due to employees not changing gloves or removing gloves prior to touching money. Gloves are not there to protect your hands from the food, but to protect the food from everything your hands touch. 4th time getting sick from here, last time I'll be going. Otherwise flavor of food is great, it's clean in the dining area and the workers are very polite.

Bowl didn’t have much of any flavor. The rice was long grain (odd choice) and soupy. Tacos were also soupy but not too bad. Unfortunately, not for me.

Being from Texas, I was worried that Bowling For Soup's line in "Come Back To Texas" about Mexican Food North of Texas was going to hold true. I'm pleased to say that it does not in the case of this Avocado Pit. I've gotten the Burrito and The Street Tacos and found them both to be perfectly fine compared to what we had in Texas. Being completely honest, the salsa could stand to be spicier, but it's not enough of an issue to take away from the quality of the food imo. The atmosphere is fantastic, with the restaurant being in a historic building, and the location is great for anyone with consistent business downtown. The staff is awesome. Good people who know what they're serving and treat it with the respect it deserves, and the pricing is comparable to Chipotle without feeling like a cheap knock off. Honestly, I'll give this place a Texan's seal of approval. It's not necessarily "authentic" Tex-Mex, but it's good enough that it'd fit in down in Austin.
Vegetarian options: Not Vegan by any means, but there's enough on the menu that you could have a respectable meal without getting meat. Perfectly fitting for any White Meat Only "Vegetarians."

Fantastic food and service. The mushroom based tacos are killer.
I’m so glad I finally checked this place out while in town visiting. I had the Pit Bowl. Very good, very fresh. Lots of customizations. Great value, I don’t know why you’d go to Chipotle when you have this gem. I’ll be back!

Standard build-your-own burrito spot. No plant-based protein options, but the mushroom medley was tasty, as was the cilantro lime house sauce. This is a nice place for a quick bite!

Atmosphere was good but food was tasteless - like a bunch of unseasoned vegetables tossed into a burrito and very expensive for what you get. We were charged more money for meatless options as “add-ons” but if we ordered one with meat it would’ve been cheaper.
My go to dish is pit bowl they can make it from deliciously vegan to deliciously carnivorous or something in between it is your choice it will be delicious

If you’re familiar with Chipotle or Moe’s at all, Avocado Pit is very similar in that they serve burritos or burrito bowls and other items that you build with employee assistance and questions. This location is inside an old historic building so I thought the atmosphere was pretty great and the food was delicious, albeit a bit pricey. Definitely a good lunch option if you’re in downtown Bennington.
Really really good food. My all time favorite at the moment, I go minimum twice a week usually. I'm in there so much they know my order with all of the customizations without me having to tell them. Really nice people too, always friendly. I especially like it ever since they switched from ground beef to shredded beef, so glad they made that change. Great food though, huge fan
