Worst: Wholly Guacamole
There was nothing good about Wholly Guacamole for my group of taste testers.

The texture was too creamy and almost like baby food.
When it comes to guacamole, I’m looking for something with a little bite and chew.
The overall flavor was very one-note, and that note was garlic.
Walmart
The dip desperately needed a pop of citrus to brighten up the flavor.

Original Guacamole
It really was a toss-up of which guacamole was worse, this one or Wholly Guacamole.

The guac tasted fresh but had a strong red onion taste.
Those who don’t like onions will want to keep clear of this option.
I also thought this needed more seasoning with a dash of salt and pepper.

Simple Truth Traditional Guacamole
This was the first actually surprising guacamole that I tasted.
The color was a beautiful bright green that didn’t look over-processed like so many of the other options.
There were flecks of ingredients like tomato and onion that could be seen throughout the container.
Target
The texture was also nice with a bit of chunky avocado mixed into the smoother puree-like texture.
There was a strong cilantro flavor, but it didn’t overpower the subtle avocado.
The jalapeno and garlic were a nice addition to the mix without being too spicy or aggressive.
Walmart
Yucatan Authentic Guacamole
The Yucatan Authentic Guacamole narrowly missed making it into the top three.
The mild spice-level guacamole does have a bit of a kick at the end thanks to jalapenos.
There are plenty of chunky bites with big pieces of avocado, tomatoes, and onions mixed in.
Kroger
The vibrant green dip was the closest to a color that resembled fresh guacamole.
The creamy dip wasn’t overly processed where all of the distinguishable ingredients were no longer identifiable.
Best: Herdez Traditional Guacamole
The number one choice for store-bought guacamole is the Herdez Traditional Guacamole.

The container of dip had big pieces of bell pepper and cilantro running throughout.
The taste was the most akin to fresh guacamole.
