Guacamole Mex-Grill opening soon in West Philly
Guacamole Mex-Grill (4612 Woodland Ave.) is getting quite close (a few weeks out) on the West Philly strip that's already home to Four Worlds Bakery and the Whispering Leaves tea shop. Rafael de Luna, who's opening up the restaurant with his mom and two brothers (bro Rodolfo is in charge of the menu), says they've been working on the spot for close to a year and a half. Food details are still a little close to the vest, but the menu will be authentic to the regional cooking styles of central Mexico. More soon.
UPDATE [26may11]: A bit more on the concept, courtesy of Rodolfo de Luna. Guacamole is very small (16-18 seats), so they will not be able to accommodate BYOers; think of it more as a neighborhood taqueria and restaurant, with standbys like quesadillas and tortas, plus entrée-style places like enchiladas suizas, chilaquiles and mole (the grandparents on the de Lunas' mother's side ran a mole-making operation). The space, which will be outfitted with TVs and free WiFi, is aiming for an early July opening.

- BarryG, how are you gonna hate on the delicious dip that is guacamole???????! — MLF
- Love guac but the name and logo make it feel like a corporate faux-Mexican concept. However it sound like real deal, which is why I will try it despite the name.— BarryG
