    ✨ Dinner at Guacamole Modern Mexican in Louisville ✨ If you’re looking for elevated Mexican food with serious vibes — this is it. From the smoky, showy cocktails to the generous, high-quality steak tacos, everything was on point. The interior is GORGEOUS — total girls’ night or date night spot. We loved the creative drinks, big portions, and flavorful bites. Definitely not your average taco night. 🌮 Try the ribeye taco. Thank me later. 📍Louisville, KY

    Excellent food. Probably the best Mexican food in Louisville. The service was spot on. Our server was very attentive. The drinks were great. It’s noisy and conversation is tricky. But overall a great place for a special night out.

    We have eaten here three weekends in a row! I have celiac disease and Guacamole does such an amazing job with handling gluten free orders. All of the staff are knowledgeable and I never have any negative reactions. There are plenty of gluten free options and they have a separate fryer which means all of the chips are gluten free. It is clear that the owners, managers and servers are all dedicated to making sure diners have a great experience. The Salmon Pibil is to die for as is the Cesar Salad. Excellent restaurant in every way.

    I never thought I’d drop $75 for 1 dinner and 2 drinks at a Mexican restaurant. We split an entree, ordered chips and salsa (no free chips here!) and 2 small margaritas. $75. Never again!! That being said, the service was good, although the waiter spoke little English and was difficult to understand.
