MADE ME SICK- I'LL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!!

by badfoodforthought

HATED IT- OVERPRICED BUT INTERESTED IN THE FOOD UNTIL IT MADE ME REALLY SICK- TALK ABOUT OVERRATED! (NOT TO MENTION SICKENING) THERE ARE SO MANY REAL MEXICAN PLACES IN THIS AREA- SAVE YOURSELF A BUCK AND THE TRIP.

• Pros: LOOKS CUTE ON MAIN STREET
• Cons: FOOD CAN MAKE YOU SICK

best burrito - as big as your head...

by chestertodd

reviews here enticed me to try HG - a neighborhood spot. i have never been disappointed. all the tacos are great, particularly the fish. tonight i had the carne asada super burrito. it is HUGE (i didn't get sour cream). i ate perhaps 1/3 and now have food for tomorrow lunch and dinner.

the food is good quality, tastey and not greasy. this is not fancy food - but it is great food.

• Pros: great quality food, low price
• Cons: none. unless you want a fancy place to eat.

Look no further

I'm a burrito junky so I was pleased to find Holy Guacamole. They offer authentic tasting burritos with your choice of meat. The basic burrito comes with beans, rice, onions, cilantro, and meat. For a little extra you can get the Super with guacamole, cheese, sour cream, and lettuce. I recommend the Super because the basic can be a little dry but are still good -- depends on what you're in the mood for. Burritos come with chips and your choice of red or green salsa. Make sure you can handle a hot sauce because these aren't for the mild at heart.

Great Food!

by krazy310

I completely agree with the several other reviewers of Holy Guacamole. The food is outstanding! Better yet, I never feel sick and bloated after eating here! My favorite is the simple Carne Asada burrito. It's stuffed with meat, beans and rice. Love the salsa as well. Don't forget to get a container of the marinated carrots and onions as well! This is definitely the perfect place to satisfy those late night munchies!

• Pros: Healthy, Inexpensive, Great Food

Best kept secret on Main Street!

by lizsuzdezarov

Best late night spot for mexican food in Santa Monica. Love that they have fat free and vegetarian beans & rice. Fun atmosphere to grab a taco at the counter on your way to/from the bars on Main Street. And, best of all its locally owned & operated.

• Pros: inexpensive, open late, healthy

fast, cheap & oh so yummy!

by kittymctitch

This is the best place to get mexican in Venice. I completely agree with a previous post that it is difficult to share the secret. Awesome FRESH food. Simple and good. Very friendly owner. Love the free spicy carrots & peppers and gum. Fat free and vegitarian beans & rice. I just can't say enough. Grab a taco at the counter on your way to a bar!

• Pros: value, great food, fast service
• Cons: nada!

OPEN TACOS

by yuppiebum

Look for the two neon signs: "OPEN" and "TACOS". Holy Guacamole (a.k.a. "Open Tacos") is one of the reasons I moved near Main Street. I always order two fish tacos and a chicken tamale, but the burritos are good too. Good food, good atmosphere, the best chips in town, and they're open late to cure your munchies after a night of booze and boredom at the nearby bars. If you like a little heat, get into the bucket of carrots and jalapeños (free for you). If you go there enough times, I bet you'll try one of those Mexican soft drinks once (and only once); they are certainly not made of the best stuff on Earth. Open Tacos is the best!

• Pros: Good Food, Prompt Service, Decent Value

My secret burrito spot.

by killa909

I almost hate to share this. Holy guacamole has great tacos, burritos, and of course guac! Definitely try the carne asada!

Holy Guacamole is right!

by leighniles_citysearch

I love the burritos here--especially the pescado one. There is just the perfect amount of fish, and it tastes fresh and is very tender. The fish tacos and chicken burrito are also delicious, in addition to the freshly made tortilla chips served with every order. The seating is really cramped, so I recommend taking your food home with you, but either way, check out Holy Quacamole.

Holy fresh fast deal!

by LisaGlasser

This is simply back to basics, no frills, fantastic for quick, cheap healthy eats on Main Street. Step inside and sit at the counter or walk up and order from the street. One carne asada taco can be meal in itself and all for under 2 bucks. Best feature is that you can order from the window until 2am. Tacos al carbon, burritos, and tamales are what you can expect from this Boticelli-decorated local taco shop.

• Pros: Fresh, Cheap, Healthy
