Guacamole isn’t a trend, it’s tradition. It’s family. It’s the kind of food that brings people together, whether you’re prepping a quiet snack or setting out a bowl for the whole crew.

We’ve shared a lot of guacamole recipes over the years, but these three? These are the ones people keep coming back to. Each one brings something a little different to the table — from chef-driven technique to everyday ease — and all of them start with the same thing: good avocados and good intentions.

Here are our top 3 guacamole recipes — no fluff, no filler, just real guac made with care.

1. Chef Cosme’s Guacamole

Read the full recipe

We partnered with Michelin-starred Chef Cosme Aguilar (Casa Enrique, NYC) for a guacamole that’s all about clean, classic flavor. No bells and whistles — just fresh avocado, chopped white onion, a little tomato, cilantro, lime, and salt. It’s the kind of guac that lets the ingredients shine, the way it’s been done for generations.

"Simple and flavorful — that’s the way it’s meant to be." – Chef Cosme

Perfect for:

• Impressing your friends without trying too hard
• Pairing with tacos, totopos, or a cold drink

2. Masienda x Davocadoguy Guacamole

Get the recipe here

We teamed up with our friends at Masienda to create a guacamole that leans into earthy, rich flavors — roasted garlic, red onion, cilantro, lime, and flaky sea salt — paired with their heirloom corn totopos. It’s a nod to tradition and the kind of recipe that makes you slow down and savor every bite.

"Good guacamole starts with the land it grows on." – Davocadoguy

Perfect for:

• Totopo dipping
• A next-level appetizer
• Showing off (just a little)

3. The Everyday Guac

Try it yourself

This is our back-pocket guac. The kind you make when the avocados are just right and your cravings can’t wait. It’s quick, reliable, and easy to make your own — add heat with a serrano, skip the cilantro, or double the lime if that’s your vibe.

"It’s the guac you don’t have to think about — just make it, eat it, repeat."

Perfect for:

• Weeknight tacos
• Game day snacks
• Sharing (or not sharing — we don’t judge)

Final Thought

There are endless ways to make guacamole, but when the ingredients are fresh and the intention is right, you really can’t go wrong. Whether you’re going classic with Chef Cosme, bold with Masienda, or keeping it simple with our everyday recipe — just start with good avocados and let them do the talking.
