Stockbridge: Guacamole Restaurant
FALL 2024
By: Jerry Belcastro
Our theme for this issue is tacos, so, my journey took me to a hidden gem in Henry County, Guacamole, located at 697 Davis Road in Stockbridge, just adjacent to the Walmart Shopping Center off 138. I was pleasantly greeted when I walked in and was seated promptly. The seating area was nice and clean, and the place had a nice Latin flair to it!
I placed my order for a variety of tacos, and minutes later, I had a beautiful plate of homemade authentic tacos! The corn tortillas were doubled, which I liked and they were absolutely delicious! I started with an Asada taco, and the meat was nice and tender. Then I tried the Chorizo filled taco which had great flavor. On to the shrimp-filled taco, which was cooked to perfection. Finally, I tried the chicken taco, and it was also very tender and had great flavors. The tacos were accompanied by a side of homemade tomatillo salsa that I really enjoyed and a red salsa that had a nice kick of heat. All the tacos were topped with fresh cilantro, diced onions, a drizzle of crema, and freshly sliced limes. Guacamole’s tacos reminded me of the street tacos available in Cancun! You could tell they were freshly prepared homemade tacos and were full of crunch and flavor. Since the tacos were so tasty, I decided to order something else and asked them to surprise me. They brought out a Chicken Enchilada plate topped with green tomatillo salsa, melted cheese, and drizzled crema. The enchiladas were accompanied by their homestyle rice and refried beans. The enchiladas were incredible! I will definitely be taking my wife back for this dish!
Guacamole has a nice variety of menu items, and they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some of the breakfast choices that caught my eye were the Country Fried Steak, the Breakfast Bowl, the Huevos Rancheros, and the Breakfast Burrito!
They also have various types of Omelettes, which were a nice surprise. The lunch and dinner choices were extensive and looked very appetizing. They included all the dishes you would expect at a Mexican restaurant, including fajitas, burritos, tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and other combination plates. What I can guarantee is that you will not go wrong with anything you choose as everything is made from scratch and is the real deal! They also have a nice kid’s menu that includes popular items like cheeseburgers, mac and cheese, and Chicken Fingers. They offer lunch specials and also have a full bar. Their hours are Monday through Thursday from 10 am to 8 pm and Friday & Saturday from 10 am to 9 pm.
