A Taste of Mexico

Have you ever heard the expression, “cooking soothes the soul?” Not only can it be therapeutic, but it is a meaningful and unique way of connecting with a destination through its flavors. At UNICO 20˚87˚ Hotel Riviera Maya, we embrace the flavors and ingredients from our surrounding regions. If you’ve ever visited our hotel and participated in one of our cooking classes or dined at our Mexican rotating-chef restaurant, Cueva Siete, you might have tasted our traditional guacamole that is always handcrafted with our love for Mexico.

If you are missing the unique flavors of UNICO 20˚87˚ or simply looking for inspiration in the kitchen while you are home, here is an easy-to-make recipe for homemade, traditional guacamole. Feel free to add your own twist with any additional ingredients you have at home.
