Seriously good Mexican food. We've been eating here since we moved to Millville a couple of years ago and have never been disappointed. The chimchangas are great and one of our favorite dishes. The rice and beans are so good we get multiple orders to bring home. The refried beans have a slight hint of coffee to them, and the rice compliments that perfectly. Some Mexican food can be overly salty, this is not the case for El guacamole. The food is fresh, flavorful and a good size portion. The salsa verde is so good we get a large container of it and eat it with pretty much everything at home, chips, sandwiches, breakfast...why not? Last but not least is the guacamole, let's just say they live up to their name. The service is excellent and you always get what you ask for. We eat here pretty often and will continue to do so. We feel lucky to have such a great Mexican restaurant where we live.
Tried this place for the first time today and will also be the last. When we walked in and saw how the place was set, I automatically knew it wasn't an actual authentic Mexican restaurant even though they claim they are in their name. That was the only reason we came. I should have looked at the photos more closely, you can tell its more so a Mexican-American restaurant by the foods people have posted. But we decided to give it a try because it did have a 4.5 start rating. We were seated and waited five minutes for someone to start us off with some beverages, the lady came back with our drinks and they were actually good and were homemade. Then a different server came and took our order and also brought a small plate of chips and salsa. The plate barley had any chips and the salsas were cold, so you can tell they were already premade and who knows how old and how long they been sitting in the fridge. The chips also tasted rancid! Probably made a whole batch to last them a couple of days. Then we proceeded to ordering our food. I got a chicken torta, my brothers got the steak quesadillas, my mom ordered the tacos al pastor, and the guacamole fajita special was ordered by dad. The food came out fairly quick, but once we had the plates in front of us, it was not what we were expecting. To begin, my torta was absolutely disgusting tasted horrible. It had absolutely no flavor, there was shredded bland chicken, a real authentic Mexican torta has breaded chicken breast with queso Oaxaca, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and the bread should be lightly toasted as you can see in the picture below. This thing as you can see in the first picture was just disgusting. The bread was even toasted and it had more jalapeños then beans. It fell apart so easily as I was eating, the next thing we were disappointed with were the steak quesadillas. They came out looking like the quesadillas they sell at taco bell with a side of sour cream??!!!!! Tacos al pastor were flavorless as well, tasted to much like paprika, and were not filling, finally the so called guacamole fajita special or whatever its called was yet again another disappointed. We thought it came with a big bowl of guac, but it was literally a small salsa cup of guacamole with a side of beans, and dry rice. It was just overall a complete disappointment. All food is flavorless, its not authentic at all, they dont even have napkins, they wanna be all fancy and have fabric napkins that dont even absorb anything. And not to mention it was a total of $116 for bland food. As real Mexicans from Michoacán Mexico, we like authenticity. Super spicy, same day made salsas, with handmade tortillas. Not the flour tortillas, daisey's sour cream, American cheese, and boxed rice from this place.

A quiet place with a fresh atmosphere to taste the Mexican flavor. To drink you can order Horchata, without a doubt very good ? you can't find it like it anywhere else. Nice food. I'm Ecuadorian, tasting Mexican food.

The food was delicious, our server Amanda was great. BUT, we spent $70 on lunch for 2 people. 70 DOLLARS for a chicken quesadilla, chips & guac, a burrito and 2 drinks. $3 for a can of soda. No refills. $16 for guacamole. And the best part, the burrito “on special” was $25!!!! I will never return to this place.

Vineland Career Fire Dept, Platoon B had their holiday party at El Guacamole last night. We can not say enough about how great it was. There were approximately 30 of us, and the servers were more than patient, knowledgeable of the menu, and friendly. The owner was extremely accommodating and kind and was present the entire night helping the servers. From the appetizers, to dinner, to dessert, everything was hot, fresh, and out very quickly, not to mention, delicious (get the guac!!). We were all extremely impressed and were still talking about our experience, even after we left. El Guacamole will have some new repeat customers after last night's dinner!*Just a side note: there were other customers that came in throughout the evening. We noticed that they came in, ate, and left while we were still there...so even though we were such a big party, El Guacamole took care of their other customers in a timely manner too!*Thank you so much for a fantastic evening!!
