The person who banished guacamole into the "appetizer" realm clearly never stepped into the Guadalajara Grill. While the Mexican restaurant offers a host of delicious foods, there is something special about the fresh homemade guacamole that lets you know it can stand on its own as a meal. On a hot desert day, the sweet simplicity of the cool, smooth avocado blend on a crisp chip can't be beat—but why stop with just the chips, when it goes so well with a bit of grilled chicken or on a burrito?
