Santa Monica Blvd & Flores, West Hollywood
Side Order: $5.50
*Ratings are based on a 1-10 scale; 10 being euphoric.
Size (serving portion as compared to price)
Aunt Beep: 7
Beep Daddy: 7
Consistency (is it easy to scoop? too many chunks? or whipped to a slimy paste?)
Aunt Beep: 8.5
Beep Daddy: 8.5
Whole Avacado (the whole atmosphere surrounding the quac...the restaurant/venue, energy, menu, service, can you wash it down with a margarita?)
Aunt Beep: 9.5
Beep Daddy: 9.5
Notes: We LOVE Marix! Everything about this place is great!
The food is fresh and always tasty (we love the Baja Fish Tacos, and the fajitas); the margs are well made without too much sweet and sour mix; the crowd is always lively, fun & energetic...the entire restaurant is basically outdoors, which makes it perfect for a long afternoon lunch or warm summer al fresco dining.
Plus, where else can you hear Kylie Minogue club remixes as you munch on chips and salsa?
Overall Taste (tangy-ness, spice, freshness, is it good enough just to eat it with a spoon?)
Aunt Beep: 8.5
Beep Daddy: 8.5
Notes:
-the guac is served with a shredded radish garnish - we liked the spicy (yet subtle) zing it added
-the consistency was pretty smooth, but with a nice amount of chunkiness
-I wish it had a bit more garlic and lime
FINAL RATING
Aunt Beep: 8.375
Beep Daddy: 8.375
Summary: It's darn good guac - a good standard to beat.
By the way - I have it on high counsel that the best guac in LA is at La Parilla: 2126 Cesar Chavez Ave. Enjoy!
