The manager David was most accommodating. He personally verified our party needs and prepared a wonderful fajita-bar with all of the sides and salad. They delivered and helped to set things up. All who ate were so pleased and FULL. The combinations and flavors were authentic. Gracias David!

On 12/22/2025 Nick Vasquez had this to say:
Liked the environment and the surroundings very much. The food was good and the experience was festive! The prices were a little high ut considering their location that is what it is. The restaurant is fine for lunches and just above par for dinner but with a name like Guacamole Grill I was expecting to be blown away! (Hey it's a better name then common names or 3 Brothers or Carlos Obriens and such! ) Service from the waitress was perfectly enjoyable and delightful. Speaking of service- the staff deserved so much credit for making a customer very happy as they sang him Happy Birthday- he smiled ear to ear! The only negative thing I have to offer as constructive criticism....out of 3 main dishes- not one single one have GUACAMOLE!!! They had lettuce, sour cream and tomatoes but no guacamole. I called and verified they normally come with it. No biggy.
