There are few things in life at Mexican restaurants better than fresh guacamole prepared at your tableside, so when Gothamist spied a bowlful of avocados ready for smashin', we headed into Park Slope's inviting La Taqueria, a long, narrow joint smattered with paintings by local artist Jeramy Turner. Margaritas are a must-have, though nearly a dozen bottled beers appear on the menu including Tecate and Pacifico along with fresh fruit juices and the house sangria. Hot, crispy tortilla chips still dripping in oil arrived at the table for starters, accompanied by a mild, but smoky salsa. Soon afterwards, a cart quietly rolled up to the table where cilantro, lemon, and tomatoes were smashed into ripened avocados with a mortar and pestle and left to devour with another basket of chips.
