Many restaurants bring that to the table, with other ingredients on the side, and the server offers to mix in any or all of the other stuff in. We always decline, and each add the other ingredients to our individual portions. I have always added freshly pressed garlic, but a person I know objected strongly to garlic.

In the Mexican restaurants, they bring a plate with separated smashed
avocado, minced sweet onion and diced tomato. There are always little
cut up key limes on the tables.

I've been told, in Mexico, that the plate resembles the Mexican flag -
red-white and green.

When I make guacamole, I make it from those ingredients (avocado, onion,
tomato, lime juice) plus some salt. I never use garlic.

Some local Tex Mex joints put diced jalapeno in the guacamole. I don't
care for it.
