Holy Guacamole is located on Main Street and Ashland Avenue in Santa Monica. The parking situation is something else typical for Santa Monica. There’s hardly any street parking, and if you want to park in the lot, it’s a paid parking lot that costs $1.25 per hour. And the fun part? You get to take in the local “views,” like homeless individuals lying on the street passed out. There’s also a Starbucks across the street and an e-bike store right next door, so there’s plenty to check out while you wait for your food from Holy Guacamole. They have a big menu with plenty of options, and they’re best known for their breakfast burrito. I didn’t personally get the breakfast burrito big mistake. I went with the carne asada burrito (no tomatoes), and I definitely should’ve gone with their specialty instead. The carne asada burrito barely had any meat, and it didn’t come with cheese, sour cream, guac, or anything to tie it all together. It had carne asada, rice, some purplish beans, cilantro, and usually tomatoes, but overall it just lacked flavor. Honestly, I wouldn’t get that burrito again if I ever came back here. The place itself is small, with a few tables inside and a few more outside along the street. It’s not the cleanest spot I’ve ever seen, but they make do with what they have. The food was pretty mediocre nothing special and the service was just average. The person who took my order didn’t seem too thrilled to be there either. The overall vibe is what you’d expect from a small spot near the beach in Santa Monica. Would I come here again? Probably not. Would I recommend trying it once? Sure, it doesn’t hurt to give it a shot. Still, if you’re looking for something with real flavor, I’d suggest going somewhere else.

Good authentic tacos. My partner had the steak and cheese quesadilla, which was awesome! The atmosphere was a little divey, which reminded me of the taco places where I grew up in Chicago. It made me nostalgic.

This place has the very best breakfast burritos!!! I don’t know why anyone would not give it 5 stars! I just visited for the first time after being gone for 3 years and I was quickly reminded why I returned!!! They are honestly the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had! That having been said…and I’m not going to dock them for this, but I will say that if it isn’t fresh horchata it isn’t delicious. It tastes like creamer and cinnamon… But when they have the real stuff it is on point

I enjoy coming here, the food is delicious all the staff is wonderful except the new cashier, I think he is Latino around 35 tall, he seems a little frustrated… With kind of attitude lol I think he is not very happy. I miss the old cashier the American white guy, he was much more pleasant!!!

I ordered the Super Asada burrito through Uber Eats. First, my food was packaged very well and upon unpacking, the burrito was so beautiful I was inspired to do a photo shoot. As far as taste- let me tell you-This as the best asada burrito I’ve ever had. This is like some secret recipe that came to this country under the cover of darkness with the intentions of bringing peace to the world, one stomach at a time. Only problem with that theory is that the super asada is big enough to feed three grown people, maybe 4.

A little off the beaten path, but not lacking in the quality, or atmosphere. When we walked in wasn’t too sure of the place, decided to try it. And I’m so glad we did. Our waitress was very helpful in helping us decide what to get. The burritos were awesome. Really huge. We are on them for 2 days. You get to watch it being made and it’s a huge tortilla that all that goodness goes into. Your eyes won’t believe it. Looking for an evening snack, this is the place to cure that craving. Just check the pics.

Excellent burritos. We tried both the carne asada and the chicken. Large portion. Comes with chips and salsa. Seating indoor and outdoor with nice staff members. The chicken burrito won out as the best. They also provide cold water. Go check this place out. Accepts credit cards as well.
