I don't think you could ever find a single person whose mouth doesn't completely water when you toss up authentic Mexican for dinner.
Thank god we have Guzman Y Gomez on Gouger St to help us out!
Specialising in dishes such as tacos, nachos, and burritos, GYG (located near Chinatown) also serves famous Mexican refreshments like Latin lemonade and frozen margaritas; MARGARITAS PEOPLE.
We asked the GYG staff on how many avocados they go through each day... are you ready for it? They use around 60 KILOS!! Now that's a lot of guacamole!
Every Guzman Y Gomez meal is prepared fresh on-site using authentic and ethically sourced ingredients. Each morning the chefs make the guacamole from scratch by opening and mashing the avocados by hand and all the meat is marinated and chopped up instore (Fun Fact: We got a tour of the back of the kitchen and our meal-prep goals have been attained! 😂)
Guzman Y Gomez aims to change the fast food industry by providing great food at speed without compromising in ethically sourced ingredients, quality, taste or nutrition. The company uses 100% sow-stall free pork, Lilydale free range chicken and uses 100% grass-fed beef - which is great for us ethical meat-eaters.
We were able to try the Chicken Enchilada that came with sour cream, guac (amazing), topped with jack cheese and corn chips - it was LIFE CHANGING! Also, hot tip, next time you head in, DO NOT LEAVE until you've tried the churros with dulce de leche. I was able to smash two on my way out of this event and I've been dreaming of them ever since.
With meals being able to be customized with your choice of meat, additions, fillings, and level of spice; it's clearly a winner when your picky group of friends are looking for a one-stop shop for good food.
So the next time you're craving mexican grub and any excuse to whip out your sombrero, head to Guzman Y Gomez!
Thank you to BPPR for inviting us to try the amazing selection of food available.
