Ate at Guac last weekend. Try the mango guacamole!
ReplyDelete$12 for guacamole? I'll make my own and add mango, and it'll take all of five minutes. Unless I'm drunk on tequila, in which case money's no object.
ReplyDeleteI was hopeful until I saw the menu. Can we get a decent restaurant -- liike back in the day -- you know, like, home cooking?
Guac serves several different kinds of gaucamole, but I agree with the poster above--the mango guacamole is the best!
ReplyDeleteLa Palapa charges 14 for their guacamole.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the average cost for a big bowl of guacamole. It's not outrageous when you think about how you are splitting it with two or three people. It's hardly a fancy foodie joint. It's owned by the guy who owns 11B, the pizza place right across the street!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite, most authentic, Sabor A Mexico Taqueria, has a bowl of guacamale for $10.50 and all the chips you can eat.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll give Guac a shot.
I tried Guac this weekend and thought it was great. Affordable and yummy.
ReplyDeleteI am not spending 12 bucks on guacamole. Why do restaurants charge so much when it usually costs $2 an avocado? I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteI just paid 3.99 for an avocado.
ReplyDeleteI was walking East on St Marks Place today at 4:30 PM and passed the Chi Snack Shop for the first time. What is the gimmick? Shelves of packaged snacks!! I thought maybe sweet buns and maybe tea or coffee. No one in the shop. I don't give it six months. What takes hold of some people? Unless, of course, it is all smoke and mirrors for a purpose I don't quite understand (and I don't mean drugs).
