Best Guacamole
Guadalajara Grill
Readers Pick
Guadalajara's guacamole is a perfect appetizer. Heck, it could even be a perfect meal—it is that good. This simple guac has a great texture that can be addicting and hard to resist. It is the perfect thing on a hot Arizona day, especially when paired with crunchy chips and some spicy, tableside-prepared salsa. One reason why the guacamole here is the best? The folks at Guadalajara Grill make the stuff fresh twice a day!
