The green skinned ones are varieties of Mexican Ancestry. The harder
black skinned ones are from Guatamalan stock.

Often when people complain that an avocado has no flavor it's either
because the avocado was picked to green, isn't ripe or they have
gotten one of the junk varieties like Zutanos that have flavor
approximating old cardboard. Get a better variety like a Fuerte or
Haas and you'll have a better idea what an avocado should taste like.
