3 Places to Celebrate Guacamole Day Around Chestnut Square

September 16, 2018

While Cinco de Mayo is long since over, there’s another upcoming holiday that provides you a perfect excuse to indulge in Mexican cuisine and cocktails!

Guacamole Day on Sept. 16 celebrates all things avocado. While it may not be an official holiday, it’s a great reason to get out and about around your Chestnut Square apartment, as the area is home to lots of authentic Mexican eateries where guacamole is a staple. Whether you sample a bit from each on a restaurant crawl or hunker down at one spot for a night of tasting and tequila, don’t let this occasion pass without honoring it!

Here are some of the best spots near your Chestnut Square apartment for guac:

 

Taco Mar: Guac is a primary ingredient in the tacos, burritos, bowls and more at Taco Mar, a half-mile from your Chestnut Square apartment. The fast-casual restaurant prides itself on its authentic flavors—which are matched by its colorful décor, leeting diners feel they’re really eating South of the border.

 

La Rancherita: Modeled after a genuine Mexican taqueria, La Rancherita, less than one block from your Chestnut Square apartment, provides a fun and festive atmosphere for chowing down on some culinary creativity. Fajitas and burritos are just the start for a menu that features a range of Mexican dishes where guac is just one of a sea of tasty ingredients.

 

Tlaxkalli: It may be hard to pronounce its name, but it’s not hard to see why Tlaxkalli is so popular with local foodies. The taqueria, a half-mile from your Chestnut Square apartment, offers authentic Mexican dishes, including guac and chips of course, but also extends its menu to American favorites with Mexican twists. For instance, diners can try the Carne Azade Fries, which are topped with cheese, meat, guac and more, or the Quesadilla Burger—a chorizo patty between tortillas, smothered with guac, pico de gallo and spicy mayo.
