Guacamole Trail around Champaign-Urbana

Where to find the best guacamole in the Champaign-Urbana area

Let’s face it — freshly made guacamole just can’t be beat. We all have our preferences when it comes to our guac and while some prefer theirs to be thick and bursting with tomatoes, onions, and more, others prefer theirs to be smooth and creamy.

Pair guacamole with some freshly baked chips and a fruity margarita, and you might as well just skip the entree. We set out to find some of your local favorites, and your recommendations did not disappoint. Whether you are looking for Mexican restaurants in and around Champaign-Urbana, nachos, or margaritas, guacamole is always the perfect counterpart. As with all of our food trail posts, we focus on locally owned restaurants around Champaign-Urbana and beyond.

Huaraches Moroleon, 805 Philo Road, Urbana: “They have real guac…and they even add jalapeno if you like it spicy!  We sit and munch their guac and salsas all evening long.”
