Charlene on 2026-06-18 (5 stars): This is the ONLY guac I will eat. I make it at least once a month! I ate it all through the Knicks playoffs and would you lookie there!!! You will not go wrong with this guac!!
I made it for the taco Tuesday before Thanksgiving last year and the family (of over 20 people) LOVED this guac.
Brandie B on 2026-05-26 (5 stars): Best Guac dip ever! I love guac and I have made so many, and this Guac recipe is hands down the best! I followed the recipe exact, using fresh limes of course, fresh herbs too! I love avocado, so I did add one more in there! The dip is perfect consistency, I love the flavors and it was so simple to make! Thanks Lisa for another great recipe my family keeps asking me to make!
Pat S on 2026-05-17 (5 stars): Made this following the published recipe. After tasting, it was a little too mild. I added additional sea salt, cilantro, and chopped red onion. My addition didn't add any kick, but did add more flavor. Overall, it was pretty tasty and a crowd pleaser as well. I will make it again. Thanks for the recipe!

Megan E on 2026-04-21 (5 stars): First time making Guac and everyone loved it! Will definitely be making again!
AustinTxGal on 2026-04-16 (5 stars): Great recipe. I do add about 1 T of white vinegar even though it has lime juice. It adds that tang that some get from either store-bought or a restaurant.
