Some like it creamy, others prefer chunky. Some love it mild, while still others get their kicks from the spice. No matter your preference, there's no better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with a big hunk of green yumminess (except maybe with a big hunk of green yumminess accompanied by a potent margarita). Read on to find the best in town.
Like it fresh? Uncle Julio’s tasty guacamole is made in-house continuously throughout the day with fresh Haas avocados, fresh garlic, tomato and onion. Served with lightly salted, warm tortilla chips, this border-style specialty is best when accented with a dash of lemon juice and a sprinkling of cheese.
Like it simple? No Mas! Cantina's secret to great guacamole is freshness and simplicity. Made several times a day from ripe avocados mixed with chopped tomatoes, onions and cilantro and a hint of lime, it’s served with a big basket of homemade tortilla chips and fire roasted tomato and chili salsa. It's a great accompaniment to the No Mas! Santos Classic Margarita.
Like it … on shrimp tacos? Holy Taco’s is hand-mixed every five hours and never over-worked, so it remains a little chunky. It's good on everything, but especially with the restaurant’s camarones a la plancha or shrimp tacos—grilled Georgia shrimp and queso fresco (fresh cheese) in a corn or flour tortilla.
Like it chunky? The Original El Taco’s just-crushed, barely mixed, chunky guac is freshly made with Hass avocados, sweet onions, Serrano peppers, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Not over-whipped or pureed, it goes best with the restaurant’s lime-salted corn chips.
Like it popular? Nuevo Laredo Cantina’s guacamole is among the many popular items on the always-packed restaurant’s extensive menu. A frequent after-work, lunch-hour and weekend hangout, this award-winning hotspot has guac so popular that it’s available by the gallon (with 24-hour advance orders).
