    Certainly not bad, and WAY above average. Very busy for Bock Fest. Food beautiful. My entrée cool, my wife's salty. Others in our party mixed opinions. Drinks good. I've been to the former location dozens of times and Nulu 3 or 4 times. Definitely will return, but not quite up to prior visits.

    We tried Guacamole for a birthday celebration on Saturday afternoon. I knew from reviews the prices were expensive and the noise level was high, but still thought it would be a fun experience. Both of these rang true and the prices were even higher than the menu posted online, at $25 or more per plate. Service was slow and the food just ok. For a party of 4 at $25 per plate, plus a couple appetizers, 3 mixed drinks (small by the way), and a water, the bill with tip was close to $240.00. This is a bit steep for Mexican food. Also, for the record, chips and salsa should be free and you definitely should not be charging $5 for a chip refill after already paying $15 for chips and salsa appetizer. The food was just ok, but not good enough to compel us to ever return.

    Always loved guacamole when it was on hurstborne, first time at new location, parking not as good, walked in and it's super nice, loved it. Server was great, food tasted good but very hard to eat on the big boards, no room to eat and hard to eat, especially when you're older. I like the tacos already made instead of making at table. Dessert was awesome!!

    Very very cute and fun place. Atmosphere was very colorful and nice. I prefer my chicken tacos to have shredded chicken, instead, it was large chicken tenders. It made it very hard to eat & keep in the taco. Little pricy as well. Queso (split) 3 tacos and a drink cost me $60 (for one person). Very excellent service though, maybe it just wasn’t for me 🤗 Would maybe give it another try!

    Gorgeous decor inside, full of color and beauty and fabulous and plentiful food and delicious beverages! The service was also top notch and friendly with helpful descriptions of food options, and the manager even stopped by the table to ensure our visit went well. The meal and beverages were not inexpensive, but the quality made it totally worth the price. Make a reservation, and then sit back and enjoy!

    I celebrated my partners 30th birthday there and it was our first time going to this place. The atmosphere was magnificent. The food was very delicious and I will recommend anyone to go if they never been the quality of the food was worth it the only thing that I would suggest is they should have pictures to the title of the food because it’s hard to understand what you’re ordering, unless you look at the photos online but you gotta also know what the name of the food ..

    Without a doubt, the best Mexican food I have ever eaten in this area. We had the guacamole trio , the mahi mahi, goat cheese salad with shrimp , and flan for dessert. We are planning to bring guests here soon. We did not have drinks, but everything coming out looked amazing.

    Third time to Guacamole and as always food was delicious! It was a date night so we enjoyed drinks, chips & salsa trio and shared the mahi tacos- probably our favorite thing on the menu! The restaurant always has a high energy feel but as the evening progressed it was hard to hear any conversation. If looking for a date night with loud, high energy and people watching this is your place. Wanting something more romantic for conversation this isn’t it - especially on the weekend! Alex our server was awesome- let him pick our salsa options for the trio and he made great choices!

    Delicious! We got the queso, salsa trio, carna asada, and a sangria. Everything was delicious - but the strip steak in the carne asada and the tomatillo salsa were my favorites!
