But I do have to correct you on one thing. Our guacamole is not at all runny - it's chunky and delicious and made fresh a few times a day. What you had on your taco was Avocado Sauce, just like the menu says - and that's supposed to have a creamy, light texture like creme fraiche. We would NEVER use anything out of a jar, especially not guacamole. We make everything except the tortillas from scratch - including the beans and pickled jalapenos. The comment about the single tortilla being too messy is useful, though - we initally used 2 tortillas, but then went to 1 because most people preferred it that way. Maybe we'll try going back to 2.
