As a way to promote online ordering, the only way to received the free guac was if you ordered your entree through the website or mobile app. The National Avocado Day deal comes amid a wave of changes at the burrito chain, which has yet to fully recover from the series of food-borne illness outbreaks that rattled the company and hurt its reputation in late 2015.
