Mexican Guacamole Recipe Video

Chef Patricio Sandoval of Mercadito at 100 7th Avenue South (at Grove Street) in New York City teaches me how to make traditional guacamole. The New York Times once said Patricio's cooking "takes you to a hacienda in Mexico". I love his 3 different interpretations. They were all delicious. Enjoy the recipes!

Recipe Story

Patricio Sandoval's inspiration for Mercadito drew from his experiences shopping with his mother in Mexico at small markets. He grew up in the kitchens of his father's restaurant "Madeiras" in Acapulco, Mexico. After high school, Patricio moved to New York and was hooked. A graduate of the French Culinary Institute, he combines traditional techniques with non-traditional ingredients. New York Magazine voted Mercadito's Fish Taco the best in 2006.
