So happy to find this wonderful little eatery while vacationing in Ocean City. I had the Taco Salad which was simply excellent: fresh ingredients and just the right amount of chicken. The service is equally excellent. If you want authetic Mexican food, El Guacamole is a must.

Absolutely delicious. My mom hasn't had good fish tacos in years but the Mahi-Mahi fish tacos here made her so happy. They were really perfect. I got a chicken burrito that was fantastic. Also the staff was really friendly. Definitely coming back

We went there on the opening weekend which is also the same weekend the other people complained about. It also happen to be labor day weekend which is one of the three busiest weekends of the year. So while I don't make excusesI do have to point out that the owners were very gracious and helpful. The food was delicious and out of this world. It is a great Mexican restaurant for anywhere let alone a seasonal town. I would highly suggest you trying this restaurant and helping this family to keep this great place open.

On our vacation trip to ocean city NJ we decided on Mexican food for dinner one night. We had heard of El Guacamole earlier in the year so we gave it a try. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and expertly prepared. Portions were large and the price was what I would have expected to pay at a Jersey shore restaurant. Five of us got entrees with additional sides and the bill was $130. Pictured is an assortment of dishes; tacos enchiladas and sides. Ocean City finally has a really good Mexican restaurant. Nice dining room and outdoor seating is available as well.

Esaias and Gabriella were very welcoming, very friendly, professional and provided excellent customer service (Esaias, you have a great team serving all of us, your customers). Very calm, clean, nice environment. Food was excellent!! Restroom was impeccably clean. Went back again and had tremendous meal (see pics) Highly recommended! Well... here is an updated review. One year later I was pleased to see Esaias and ElGuac II! My party of three had an excellent experience for lunch, as did later on with my wife for dinner the next evening. The food was absolutely delicious. The presentation on tje plates equal to pictures of 5-star restaurant and the steak with my enchiladas was perfect. My friends noted the chicken was moist, well cooked. I had the Tampiquena... excellent! Food on-dish presentations are artwork and looks and tastes awesome (see pics)!! Service attentive and professional. Dont miss out on this excellent place to eat!!
