I’m more than willing to pay higher prices for a meal if it also feels like an experience and that exact statement can be said for our dinner at Guacamole. We ooh’d and aah’d over every item that was brought to our table. Everything we ordered was presented beautifully, even our appetizer. The staff were incredibly friendly and the restaurant itself was beautiful and comfortable. We cannot wait to come back!

The food was amazing, the recommendations were spot on, the service was fantastic, and the place itself is a vibe. Definitely worth checking out. Was in town for LTL last year and didn’t get a chance to visit but made it this year and it’s worth the trip for sure!

Great food and drinks. Decor is splendid. Noise level is high so it is not a place for conversation. Also expensive expect to pay ovr $100 for two people for dinner and drinks. Maybe best Mexican-influenced food in Louisville. They describe it as Modern Mexican. We were there early Tues evening before 6pm and it was not crowded, but expect crowds later and especially on weekends.

Went here for dinner with a friend and our service was AMAZING. He gave suggestions and explained even more than the menu. He was attentive but not overbearing. Our food and drinks came out timely and exactly what we ordered. The ambiance and decor are amazing but the food itself was average at best. We had the Baja fish tacos, birria tacos and the queso with pico. It was ok. For the price, I wanted more unique flavors but it was very basic. For the price, you definitely can get better food but our cocktails were good.

Had an amazing girls night here! Guacamole is a favorite Louisville spot and I take all out of town friends and family here for a unique and beautiful experience. Great service. The manager noticed that I didn't eat much of my food (I didn't google the translation in Spanish and it just wasn't what I thought it would be) and offered to make me something else. When I declined because it was my mistake, he sent our table a free dessert! My friends and I are still talking about that cheesecake.

Happened along this place while doing the Bourbon train in Louisville - stopped for apps at the upstairs and enjoyed so much had to come back the next night for dinner! Food was amazing, as well as the drinks. One thing to note - if you have a party of 6 or more, they automatically include the tip...they did not tell us this and we ended up tipping on top of the tip - lucky waiter! :-)

To eat at Guacamole is not just a meal but an experience. The food is simply outstanding, and it's always presented with creativity. Every server we interacted with was kind, joyful, and attentive--they make you feel like you're joining their family for the evening. Perhaps my favorite overall dining experience in Louisville.

The food quality was outstanding, as was the service. The restaurant is beautiful, and the menu has numerous appetizers, and entrée options. The biggest take away is the food quality which was exceptional. We were sat in the bar area where a large party was also seated. The noise level from the party was extremely high a few minutes but quieted down after they received their food. Overall, it was a fun energetic atmosphere. We will definitely be returning to explore the other menu options. I was told great things about the Guacamole and it did not disappoint.

OMG! This food is unbelievably excellent!! Just delicious - from the margaritas to the guacamole to the tacos to dessert. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the hard metal chairs. The benches and swing chairs are so awesome, but those metal chairs leave something to be desired. I say that almost tongue in cheek, as everything else, including the service, is beyond phenomenal! 🤩
