Takeout Restaurants Giving Guacamole Centre Stage
National Guacamole Day is on September 16th, and we don’t know about you but this is one holiday we’re always ready to celebrate.
Guacamole is a traditional Mexican garnish with roots dating back to the Aztec people in the 1500s, its name aptly hailing from the word āhuacamolli – literally translating to “avocado sauce”.
Today, typically comprised of some combination of avocado, lime juice, onion, and cilantro, Guacamole is a staple in Mexican restaurants, grocery stores, and households alike across North America.
Here is a list of 5 restaurants across Canada giving this tasty treat the credit it deserves:
Guac Mexi Grill (Multiple Locations)
Guac Mexi Grill specializes in serving up burritos, tacos, quesadillas, nachos, bowls, salads, and enchiladas just the way you like them with your own unique blend of fresh ingredients.
You choose the meat, fillings, and toppings, and then – just as the restaurant name suggests – choose from their extensive list of guac, salsa, and sauces. They even have their own special Guac seasoning blend of Mexican herbs.
Best of all, you can find Guac Mexi Grill locations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and PEI.
