Zocalo's Trio de Guacamole incorporates modern ingredients with healthy avocados for a taste treat.
Zocalo

It's one of the few things that is high in fat, tastes great and is good for you - avocados - and I never met a bowl of guacamole I didn't like.

Although National Guacamole Day takes place on November 14th, you can ingest the green wonder all week long, November 9-14, 2009 at Zocalo Restaurant and Tequila Bar.

The week-long, special guacamole menu includes two flight trios. From Monday, November 9 through Saturday, November 14, lunch and dinner guests can dig into the following (served with house-made plantains and tortilla chips):

Los Moles del Dia $10

• Atun - freshly diced avocado mixed with tuna, green onion, cilantro and an arbol chile-guava reduction
• Chicharron - freshly diced avocado mixed with pork crackling, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice and serrano chiles
• Mole Manchamanteles - freshly diced avocado mixed with apple, fried plantain, grilled pineapple and toasted sesame seeds, topped with a savory oaxacan mole

Trio de Guacamole $10

• Tradicional - freshly diced avocado mixed with tomatoes, red onion, cilantro and serrano chiles
• Rojo- freshly diced avocado mixed with roasted tomatoes, roasted onion, and roasted red jalapeno salsa
• Fruta - freshly diced avocado mixed with fresh papaya, guava, habanero chiles and walnuts
