October is Dining Month on OnMilwaukee.com. All month, we're stuffed with restaurant reviews, special features, chef profiles and unique articles on everything food. Bon appetit!
Do you remember El Condor, the Mexican restaurant on Downer Avenue that during the '80s was below the space currently occupied by Café Hollander? (It was a laundry mat back then.)
El Condor -- one of Milwaukee's few "walk down restaurants" like the now-defunct Ardor -- was known for their great guacamole, and here's the recipe. (It might be a slight variation since this recipe probably traveled from friend to friend.)
Although the recipe calls for five avocados, feel free to cut it in half. However, if you're serving this at a party, you'll want to spring for all of the ingredients since your guests will devour every last green smidge. Guaranteed.
