You can't spell San Antonio without guacamole. It pretty much goes with everything: burgers, tacos, salads, and even pizza if you're the adventurous type.

And we can't forget the bottomless amount of chips and dip that's devoured at every get-together with family and friends, especially now during the 2022 NFL season.

Lucky for you, we rounded up the best places in San Antonio to get your guac fix.
