Stanley's Guacamole.

I admit it, I'm a guacamole addict.

I go to Stanley's on North & Elston. They have a 16 oz. container for $3.89 -- same size container at Whole Fraud is like $7.00.

It has some jalepeno, cilantro, and some salt. I make good guac, but this is so good I don't really see why I should bother any longer.

The Mexican grocery (which is actually pretty huge) at Rockwell & Lawrence has homemade stuff (Guacamole, Salsas, etc) that is really good. It's less than that for the same volume.

Store bought quacamole usually has so much lime or lemon (to keep it from turning brown) that it doesn't taste like guacamole. I take it that this isn't the case with this place? Or you just like sour guacamole? If not, how do they keep it "fresh?" Preservatives?

I recently read that Block 37 will have a Rosa Mexicano (where they make it at your table). That's the way to eat it - fresh!

It's made on site...the stuff turns brown within a day or two. Don't think there are any preservatives.

(Agreed on the "sour" taste -- this stuff doesn't have it.)
