Part of the Guzman Y Gomez chain — see all 106 locationsGuzman y Gomez was founded in Sydney in 2006 by New Yorkers and childhood best friends Steven Marks and Robert Hazan. Steven, a former hedge fund manager, and Robert, who had a background in fashion wholesale and retail, both missed the authentic fresh flavours of Mexican cuisine that they had grown up with in America.
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. From corporate headquarters: 'The chicken at all GYG restaurants is Halal certified - a copy of the certificate can be emailed upon request. We do have Halal certified chicken across all our locations. We do however work with other non-Halal meats and we do not follow halal processes in the kitchen.'

I usually go to GYG Kotara, even though there’s a GYG much closer to my house, because the food here is normally consistently good. Unfortunately, this visit was a big let-down. I ordered two Cali burritos and one mini Cali burrito, but when I got home, one of the Cali burritos was the size of a mini. Effectively, I received two mini-sized burritos and only one proper Cali, despite paying for two full Cali sizes. On top of that, the chips were soggy and clearly not fresh. I understand the store wasn’t busy (I was actually the only customer at the time), but that shouldn’t mean serving old or soggy chips. I’ve always chosen Kotara because of the quality, but this experience was disappointing and not what I expect from this store. I hope this was a one-off and that portion control and food freshness are taken more seriously going forward.
