El Guacamole

Another Saturday, and the quest for delicious tacos and breakfast is again joined! Today, Marjan and I visited El Guacamole on Huebner, west of the Medical Center. The restaurant is found on a strip center, with parking fronting the establishment, with drive thru left of the entry as one might prefer. This is the third location for El Guacamole, this location open for some 6 months and counting. Entering, the restaurant is newly finished, neat, clean, featuring their grade of "A"/94 award, just left of the checkout counter. There are perhaps 12 tables centrally, with 6 bright orange booths along the right wall. We were warmly greeted, and we chose seating at booth. First order: coffee! Marjan was covetous of the unique cups brimming with pretty delicious coffee, a brand we had not known of: DeCoty, based in San Angelo, roasting their own beans and with distribution in San Antonio, Austin and Dallas. We are not fond of weak, watery coffee, so this cup of java hit the spot (as one previous reviewer also noted.) Marjan chose their iteration of Huevos Rancheros, this with over easy eggs, sliced potatoes and refried beans. The potatoes were well spiced, well cooked. The eggs were, well eggs, but in Marjan's opinion, the dish is hit or miss considering the ranchero sauce. This eaterie's sauce is more of a gentle puree, well seasoned...she considered this dish a hit! I chose tacos: chicken fajita and carne guisada, both on flour tortillas, both generously filled with the desired protein. The chicken was juicy and moist, well seasoned. We considered this one of the top three we had found in our quest for the best taco. But friends, the next taco, the carne guisada truly was the best we had found so far. Tender beef, but the sauce, the sauce was really to die for: well seasoned, with just a bit of spicy heat, the flavors just working to make this taco quite the winner. We sampled both flour and corn tortillas, finding their iterations of the staple enjoyable. I am fond of another dish: menudo. This restaurant offers menudo throughout the week, unlike most others offering only on weekends. I definitely plan a return for a bowl of this favored dish! We definitely recommend El Guacamole, with Marjan rating 5 origami boots. Enjoy yelpers, and please continue supporting local businesses!!

If you're in the area, this spot is fine for breakfast tacos, but it's not worth a special trip.The tacos are reasonably priced, hovering around $2.00 each. Just note, they tack on an extra $1.00 if you order after 11 AM. The flour tortillas are decent, though they don't come close to being the best in town.Breakfast Taco prices from July 2024 are below:Papa Rancheras Taco: $2.35Bean and Cheese Taco: $1.95Chilaquiles Taco: $2.25Egg a la Mexicana Taco: $2.25

1st visit. Monday 9am. Dine in. The previous reviews about the homemade tostadas convinced me to try this restaurant. The 2 breakfast tacos were hearty. Really fluffy flour tortillas. Had 1 Barbacoa and 1 chiliqueles. Tap water bad; needed lime slices. Red and green hot sauces good, are mild. Giving a good score even though J didn't get the tostada chips I ordered.

Waitresses were friendly and efficient. The food was excellent with good portions. We had the cheese enchiladas and a chicken Gordita because I read that they were delicious. It was very tasty. Good value and tasted good. I would recommend this restaurant.

A great restaurant. Food is always delicious and the staff is very friendly. Especially Vanessa! Vibe is very cozy. Prices are just right.

Great service, enjoyed the enchiladas, rice and beans. Salsa and chips were good. Great stop for a quick lunch.

Food was good & very reasonably priced. Service was great & the restaurant was very clean. Tortillas & chips were homemade & authentic. Crispy taco meat was seasoned well& shell was crispy but didn't fall apart. Overall was a good meal at a great price with friendly service. Will be back to try other dishes

Awesome food !!! Clean , great customer service I ordered the chips and queso, bean and cheese taco with extra cheese and puffy taco with beef and sour cream. It all was wonderful. Prices are reasonable portion sizes are good. I will definitely be back.

Love their Caldo de Res! The veggies, the tortillas, the rice, the portions, the price, the staff..... AWESOMNESS!!

Very good food. Friendly service. My friend had the Gordita and it tasted very authentic. They have a nice wall mural and cool decor.
