We’ve tried some pretty great guac in Chattanooga — topped on a big burrito from Mojo Burrito, freshly made for chips at Taqueria Jalisco, extra chunky from Taconooga, or on toast at Mean Mug.

There’s lots of places to get some delicious guacamole here in Chattanooga, and we wanna know about all of them + find the very best — that’s where you come in.

Where in Chattanooga has the absolute best guacamole, and why? Is it super fresh, made with extra cilantro, chunky or creamy? Let us know, and we’ll consolidate all of your #1 guac opinions into the ultimate local guacamole guide. 🥑
