Fun Fact! The Mexican city of Tancítaro set a Guinness World Record with nearly 15,000 pounds of guacamole made by 800 cooks.

Fun Fact! In April 2026, more than 800 volunteer cooks in Tancítaro in Michoacán, Mexico— a region known for its avocado exports — combined avocado flesh with tomato, onion, lime, and cilantro to produce a single batch of guacamole weighing 14,992.53 lbs, earning the Guinness World Records title for largest serving of guacamole.

The record-setting batch was prepared over two and a half hours during the city's annual Avocado Festival (Feria del Aguacate) and surpassed the previous record, held by neighboring Peribán, by roughly 4,000 lbs.
