Melrose & Cahuenga

Side Order: $3.50 (w/ chips: $4.50)

*Ratings are based on a 1-10 scale; 10 being euphoric.

Size (serving portion as compared to price)
Aunt Beep: 8
Beep Daddy: 8

Consistency (is it easy to scoop? too many chunks? or whipped to a slimy paste?)
Aunt Beep: 9
Beep Daddy: 8.5
Notes: the consistency is fabulous, lots of small but even chuncks of avocado, tomato & onion which made it perfect for scooping

Overall Taste (tangy-ness, spice, freshness, is it good enough just to eat it with a spoon?)
Aunt Beep: 8.25
Beep Daddy: 7.5
Notes: overall, the guac is good - VERY fresh - but just lacking that 'zing'.  Though the fresh cilantro is wonderful, we wanted a bit more limey tang or garlicy zip.

Whole Avacado (the whole atmosphere surrounding the quac...the restaurant/venue, energy, menu, service, can you wash it down with a margarita?)
Aunt Beep: 7.25
Beep Daddy: 7
Notes: Sadly, no margs or beer are served, so there is only so much time you can spend here.  This little hole in the wall off Melrose is super clean, bright, kitschy, cute & everyone is super friendly and happy. They accept credit cards which is nice; and the (free) marinated carrots at the salsa bar are just as easy to munch as the chips.   

FINAL RATING
Aunt Beep: 8.125
Beep Daddy: 7.75

Summary: The guac has potential.  We'd go back for lunch or a fast dinner.
