Avocados were first cultivated in Central America in 7,000 B.C. and the Aztecs developed guacamole as early as the 1300's. The name in the Aztec language means avocado sauce, and the first recipe featured salt, tomatoes, and crushed avocados. Today, this delicious appetizer is served at Mexican restaurants around the world. Try some of the best guacamole at one of these restaurants near your downtown Dallas apartments:

Meso Maya 

Step into Meso Maya to enjoy the best regional Mexican cuisine in Dallas. Chef Nico Sanchez traveled throughout Mexico where he learned about seafood, dry chiles, and making sauces from scratch. He is known for his unique presentation and love of gardening. Guests can enjoy his creations inside or on the patio featuring twinkling lights and miniature palm trees. The guacamole is made fresh daily. It features Michoacan avocados, white onions, and red radishes, among other fine ingredients. 

Iron Cactus 

When Gary Manley and Michael Pottorff decided to restore one of Austin's historic buildings, the Iron Cactus was born. Their mission was to offer a warm environment and the freshest margaritas in town. The Iron Cactus has since opened in Dallas and is recognized as a top ten tequila bar. The restaurant spans 14,000 square feet, and its rooftop patio offers stunning skyline views. The guacamole is a customer favorite, and it's tossed tableside with avocados, peppers, citrus, and cilantro. 

Pappasito's Cantina

At Pappasito's Cantina, 3.5 pounds of tortilla chips are used every year. It's where the Pappa's family focuses on innovation, and their core values have been passed down for generations. The restaurant boasts one of the most fun and vibrant dining rooms north of the border. It's a great place to meet friends, and guests enjoy fast, attentive service. Try the shrimp guacamole with Fresno chiles, pico de gallo, and pickled red onions.
