Part of the Guzman Y Gomez chain — see all 37 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.'

Some pork on the menu
The new salad bowl is absolute garbage! Since when is lettuce by itself labelled a SALAD?? Put some chicken, lettuce and chips and call it a Salad bowl. When confronted they said I made modifications. I only said no sauce or cheese, but I was expecting some vegetables is the salad not just lettuce. This is a huge downgrade from the salad bowl they used to have. So disappointing! Not to mention the place is filthy! I put my hand on a table and got food smeared on my fingers had to wash immediately. The service; can we please put people who can actually speak at the counter? I used to love GYG. You guys are really going downhill.
