Guzman Y Gomez (gyg) Civic - Canberra

Guzman y Gomez is probably the most visible take-out place around Canberra Centre. Both times I went here it was rather full, but they get your order done rather quickly. I tried the nacho fries (spicy) and the chicken and brisket tacos (mild). Both items hit the spot. Tacos are a bit messy if you're doing take out, but is there a tex-mex place where that doesn't happen? Decent amount of indoor seating and there's some tables outside next to the park. Would recommend, worth a go if you need something fast.

Both establishments have admirable social missions and are better than most other fast-food options in Australia in terms of flavor, portion size, and healthiness. However, GYG outshines Zambreros. Visitors from the US looking for an authentic Aussie meal that won't leave them feeling disappointed should try the spicy chicken hard tacos with extra hot sauce, guacamole, and a Modelo Negra. The burrito bowls are a great lower-carb option, and the kids' burrito is a good choice for those with smaller appetites. GYG's rewards program offers immediate benefits, unlike many other programs. It would be even better if they offered made-to-order margaritas on the rocks, more lime, beans, cilantro, and a pork option. With these improvements, GYG could rival Chipotle, the top Tex-Mex fast-food franchise. But compared to its competitors, GYG stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Hot, fresh, and spicy! All that one could want from a free-range chicken burrito. Blows Chipotle Mexican Grill away. If you ever make it to Canberra, Australia ...

One of the best Mexican chain store meals I've had, the nachos good in size, fresh and plentiful. The service was good and menu had a good choice. The reason not 5 Star, the drinks a little over priced. Good for families or groups. Fresh, clean and enjoyable experience.

First time visiting GYG since I got back from San Francisco, where there is a taqueria selling burritos and tacos at every corner. It was great to taste the real flavours of a real barramundi burrito. I love that they make it fresh on the spot with the cooked ingredients hot to order with the added avocado costing an extra $3? This is during the time they introduced hot chips into the menu. They are battered and have spices added to their skin. It's not bad, more on the healthy side as u can tell they're real potatoes. I love the variety and abundant sources of onion, jalapeños, Tabasco sauces and coriander (cilantro) at the self serve desk. The service is also extremely good. They actually bring the order to ur table and they're super nice. Thanks GYG!!
