Here comes another food holiday we won’t ever get tired of: it’s time to celebrate National Guacamole Day 2024!
Let’s admit it: holidays are one of the occasions we all look forward to, especially when we’re celebrating a delicious food holiday with tons of deals and free treats. On Monday, September 16, 2024, we’re celebrating one of our favorite side dishes, guacamole. Don’t frown and think it’s just a side dish; you’re not one to pass on another side of guac for free, are you? Yeah, that’s what I think, so get your notes and spoons ready, as we’re rounding up fast food spots where you can get deals, discounts, and even free treats to celebrate National Guacamole Day on September 16, 2024.
Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurant
One of the top neighborhood Tex-Mex restaurants in the country, Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurant is our first runner-up to offer their deal for National Guacamole Day. Guests can get a free small guacamole appetizer with a purchase of an entreé, for orders placed online or through Abuelo’s mobile app. This deal is valid on Monday, September 16 only, and with the use of the promo code GUACDAY upon checkout. But, interested guests should also note that this deal is limited to one free small guacamole per order on the mobile.
Cocina 214
Cocina 214, a contemporary Mexican and Tex-Mex kitchen based in Florida offers a one-day only deal for National Guacamole Day. Guests can enjoy $7 Guacamole all day on September 16, 2024. That’s an exclusive treat that our friends in Florida can get on Monday.
Interested guests can visit Cocina 214’s location based at 151 E Welbourne Ave. Winter Park, Florida, to get the deal. The restaurant has been voted as the Best Tex-Mex and Mexican in Orlando for 10 years in a row, so that already speaks to why you should definitely check out their guacamole!
El Pollo Loco
El Pollo Loco, one of our go-to Tex-Mex restaurants, is taking up their celebrations for National Guacamole Day on Monday, September 16, 2024, to another level. They have weekend-long offers exclusively for Loco Rewards members:
- Saturday, September 14: Loco Rewards members can place an order in the Rewards app and add a small side of guacamole for only $1.
- Sunday, September 15: Loco Rewards members can get a regular side of guacamole for free, with any $5 or more purchase made in-store, online, or through the Loco Rewards app.
- Monday, September 16: On National Guacamole Day itself, Loco Rewards members can enjoy the Buy One Get One Burrito offer in-store, online, or through the Rewards app. Rewards members should note that the free guacamole comes in à la carte size only.
Non-rewards members can still get El Pollo Loco’s guacamole for free when they order the $9.99 Fire-Grilled Chicken Burritos or the Shredded Chicken Nachos.
Javi’s Tacos
Nebraska-borne and local Tex-Mex spot, Javi’s Tacos takes care of guacamole celebration in the midwestern state with their offer of a free scoop of guacamole. And here’s a good catch: guests can get it for free on any item all day long on September 16, 2024! Way to go, Javi’s!
J&J Taqueria at The Station
J&J Taqueria may not be your typical fast food chain, but this food spot at The Station invites guests to drop by and get their offer of Chips and Guacamole for $5.55 or get their Chips and Guac free for any order amounting to $25.
QDOBA Mexican Eats
QDOBA is spoiling us with an all-day and year-round free guacamole. It’s like every day is a guacamole lover’s paradise, as QDOBA Mexican Eats is giving customers free guacamole for any purchase of an entreé. But that’s not a reason to keep all the guac to yourself. QDOBA reminds customers that the “First portion of guac and queso is free on Create Your Own entreé, and extra portions are subject to change.”
Rubio’s Coastal Grill
Rubio’s Coastal Grill locations are giving their Rewards Members a Fish Taco Especial for free with any valid order, in celebration of National Guacamole Day on September 16, 2024. To take advantage of the deal, Rewards Members must place an order through Rubio’s app, or scan their mobile app at the register to get the free Fish Taco Especial.
What makes Rubio’s Fish Taco Especial worthy of its name? It takes the classic Original Fish Taco to another level, thanks to their wild-caught Alaska Pollock, which Rubio’s batters and cooks to crispy perfection. To complete the taste, it’s topped with fresh, housemade guacamole, white sauce, mild salsa, cabbage, and cheese, all in a warm corn tortilla.
Tocaya Modern Mexican
Tocaya Modern Mexican may still be your up-and-coming Tex-Mex food spot with their 20 locations in Southern California and Arizona, but they’re already joining in on the fun to celebrate National Guacamole Day. Tocaya Rewards Program Members can get a free side of chips and guacamole with any $15+ order on September 16, 2024. Sounds like a good deal, right? So, if you’re not yet a Tocaya Rewards Member, today’s a good time to join! To join, just create an account through their official website or download the Tocaya app on Android or iOS.

From The Club
Guacamole has been a go-to side dish and toppings whenever we eat at a Tex-Mex spot. It may be a simple dish, but it just makes any burrito a lot better, and maybe that’s why it deserves its own food holiday, away from its relative, the National Avocado Day. While this list already looks complete, we’re still looking at fan favorite Tex-Mex spots (Hello, Chipotle!) to raise their flag and offer a deal on National Guacamole Day 🙈
