Holy Guacamole • Love Lane

Nice atmosphere - full of color from the walls, table and plate. They even have sombrero where you can put on if you wanted to take a group photo. Definitely a nice place for gathering. Food choice is good and the taste is great. The vegetable is very refreshing and portion is just right. Service is great and friendly. They clear the plates as we finish and do provide recommendations on food.

Visiting Georgetown, we had already taken in some of the incredible sights but it was all the fanfare about the Mexican eaterys in and around Georgetown that had us seeking out this particular local franchise. Already a solid lover of Mexican cuisine, I chose this restaurant, which was close to our hotel. This Mexican restaurant did not disappoint. It's easy to understand why there are so many Michelin Star restaurants in Georgetown. Holy Guacamole could easily pass as one of those Michelin Star restaurants. Without a doubt, one of the best Mexican dinners I've ever had. Very hearty servings and awesome atmosphere. Highly recommend. 😉🍾🎖🎊

Amazing ambience service and quality of food. Christmas night and its the combination of music by Eddy added flavour. Decent price. Paloma one of the best seller has been smooth and tasty. The service has been quick. Value for money .

Very friendly authentic Mexican Bar. Good for locals and tourists. Very friendly service, wide variety of food and drinks and a good time is practically guaranteed. Also like the fact they accept Credit Cards and can speak English very well. Will be back!

Amazing place to chill and listen to good music. We enjoyed a lot. The singer was 10/10, he was very welcoming, he knew all the songs those were requested, also he welcomed my husband to sing a song. Unfortunately that was our last night in Penang, if it wasn’t we would have gone there every night. If you want to spend a great evening this is the place to be. Last but not the least, the service was really amazing. Very quick, very friendly ppl and they love their guests. Applause to them too. Hope to visit Holy Guacamole again in future.

Talk about awesome Mexican joint in Malaysia. The lamb birria and beef quesadilla here surpasses what you get in Mexico itself. So good that we ordered two. This combined with lime margarita, made our dinner just perfect. Must try place in Penang..

It's been a year since I was able to review their other location on Gurney Street. This is good Tex-Mex-ish style Mexican food. Great atmosphere, responsive staff, and good drinks. It all combines into one of the better Mexican-style experiences you can have in Asia! Cash, credit card & e-wallet payments accepted. Come earlier in the evening or late afternoon if you want a relatively quiet experience. Lunch time and after 10pm the place is packed. Lots of ex-pats but a locals as well. It has undoubtedly a well-deserved reputation as a place to have fun, and you should here. Chips & salsa are a must to start any Mexican meal. Not free, tragically, but that's the way it goes in Asia. Chips are crisp and salted perfectly. Salsa is inoffensive. No spice, very little cilantro, and mostly just a slightly sweet roasted tomato taste, which you could do far worse with. If you want to spend a little extra order a side of guacamole. Very respectable and I appreciate the chunks of tomato and onion in it. I opted for a burrito this time and paid a small surcharge to "chimichanga" it. I don't often hear *chimichanga* used as a verb so I went ahead with it. Basically a lightly fried burrito. Very tasty. I opted for the beef and there was a good amount of seasoned, shredded beef inside - along with rice, beans, and lettuce. Served dry and stand-alone. The tacos are a hallmark here and are good. Finally, I went for a paloma and was not disappointed. This is a more authentic Mexican cocktail than the margarita - it just didn't benefit from good marketing the way margaritas have. Served in a skull mug, rimmed with chili salt (not too spicy, don't worry) and garnished with an orange wedge (grapefruit are not very common in Asia). Well-balanced and a great partner to any meal option. Staff is friendly and you can buy their t-shirts as a souvenir. Definitely recommended if you're looking for South-of-the-border fun in Malaysia.

Delicious!!! Definitely coming back again. Love the environment too ! It’s a great place to hang out with friends or family or even alone. Great service provided by Bepul, genuine guy with warm heart and friendly service! Everything just make sense! 😍🥰

I landed in a Taco Tuesday soni got a free taco when I ordered 2. The tacos were great specially the fish taco...very authentic and the Paloma was delicious..really made me feel at home when I know i'm so far away.

If you are craving Mexican food while in Penang, this the place to go. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is just as great. The place is decorated to make it look like an authentic Mexican place. It is located on the busy love lane so it is very easy to find with it's colorful walls. The place does tend to get extremely busy during night time due to the drink specials. They even add a ton of outdoor seating at night so it becomes a great place to hangout and have some good Mexican food. The service, and prices were both also great. This a great place to hangout and grab some food if you want a break from the local flavors.

Order at the window and grab your spot for breakfast. They have an A rating from Health Dept, which is proudly displayed and reassuring. But, the homemade corn tortillas were perfection! Best breakfast burritos with many options. I went Veggie & The Hubs went Classic. So good!

The tacos were pretty fantastic! They would be worthy of being on the menu if pretty much any Mexican joint any place. The burrito, I would definitely pass on. Dry and not much flavor. The chips and guacamole were average. Guacamole was good but chips a bit stale. It was opening night and seems like service was struggling a bit. Friendly staff but food was pretty slow and didn't come out together which makes it difficult when eating as a group. They indicated the kitchen was busy and that was the delay for part of our order. Seems like it was probably just forgotten as other tables were getting their food before us even though we arrived and ordered well before them. There were not all that many tables filled either. I'd go again but would hope they work out some of the kinks with the service.

Mexican in Penang???? You might ask that. However these guys do a very credible job of Tex-mex favorites. A nice change up if you have been in Asia a few days longer than you want. Service was excellent for lunch and the food was solid. I will be back.

There was a good deal to admire about this place. The vibe was good and the staff were very friendly. The fajita that I ordered was especially delicious - a generous portion of fresh vegetables sautéed to perfection with some delightful local seasoning. Unfortunately, they only provided me with three or four small tortillas with which to make my fajitas, and that was a bit of a drag, since it was nowhere near enough. Our mushroom burrito, which we opted as a salad, was less than stellar, with simply the wrong kind of beans that were far too over-cooked. The homemade salsa, while pretty decent, was far too stingily administered, and for a place that has the word "guacamole" in its name, had virtually none of it on either of our plates. This was a drawback, since it is a side which is standard in both of the dishes we ordered. Mineral water was RM 4 per bottle, so drink up before you come. Otherwise, this place is recommendable and very decent.

Absolutely yummy Mexican food for this expat who hasn't had any for a couple of years. I'm vegetarian and ordered a spicy pumpkin taco and a mushroom taco. Both were delicious and generous. My carnivore partner and my friends ordered beef fajitas and they all said they were delicious. We shared a pitcher of margaritas that were a little light on the tequila but good flavored. I wanted to go again the next night but the group chose the Italian place next door. You can't go wrong at Holy Guacamole. I'll be back!

Nice Tex-Mex dishes, also a lot of vegetarian meals. Try the Chocoholic for dessert. Be early if you want to have a table, because of the Happy Hour between 6 and 7PM (beers for RM10, or a beer tower for RM85)
