    Texan who grew up on TexMex and authentic Mexican food here...Going to give honest review of what I…read moretry today. I have been disappointed with Aussie Mex so far, but these place feels a little more legit than the other Mex I tried in the Gold Coast and should be better than Guzzies. I was quickly escorted off to my table and provided still water to drink. The ambiance of this place definitely reminds me of many places I've been in both Mexico and Texas. So far, so good. I ordered a Suprema Margarita to drink with Chile con queso as the appetizer. The margarita (on the rocks) came in a margarita glass, so doing good so far (the other place served it in a martini glass). Very tasty and perfectly prepared. Doing great Pepe's! The chili con queso came and was served with chips, as expected. Although the texture of the queso was more like sour cream than actual queso dip should be, the taste was decent. I ate plenty of it, so the weird fluffy texture didn't phase me too much. This can be better. Note to the cooks: try to look up a copycat recipe for Torchys Tacos queso - that stuff is epic. Fajitas came out sizzling. Smelling good, with a big plate of stuff to use to prepare some tacos. The beef was seasoned well, although not a typical fajita taste to me, was good and almost had some spicy heat to it, almost. The four tortillas, or wraps as y'all call them here, weren't warm or served in a stay warm container, be were folded into fours. They were much larger than I expected, as well. You can tell these weren't made in house, but tasted like just good ole fashioned flour tortillas out of a bag. The guacamole was very good. I was skeptical since the menu said it had pistachios, but good job. The pico de gallo, needed some umph. More lemon/lime juice (not sure if any was in there), a chili pepper, and more cilantro (coriander). The salsa verde was the star. Reminded me of my own. I need more of this. The cheese was perfect and actually more shredded cheese than I'm used to having, so that was a pleasant surprise. In closing, if you're in Brisbane and either missing Mexican food, like I was, or want to try something new, I'd give this spot a shot. Pretty good job, with obvious differences that may just be ingredient availability or regional palette differences. The last question is WHY ISN'T CHICKEN ENCHILADAS VERDES on the menu?!? You have that amazing green sauce, show it off! This would be probably a 4 star review back home in Texas, but it for sure deserves more than that here in Australia. 5 stars, baaaaabyyyyy.

    One of my classmates suggested this restaurant so we ended up having a study session here while…read moreenjoying lunch. This is definitely one of the closest to authentic Mexican Restaurants you will find in Australia - trust me I have tried VERY many. All of the food comes out fresh and deliciously seasoned. The el lote (corn) was fantastic in flavor! The fajitas also were wonderful. They have a huge selection of items to choose from including drinks. Highly recommend giving them a try! It was definitely worth the drive up from the Gold Coast.

    The reason behind this is the gentleman that served me. First he didn't know what sweetener or…read moreequal was. I explained it to him and I got I don't know. I have never eaten at GYG and didn't know what I was doing when ordering as the menu I have to order off is the screens which flick over every 15seconds so really hard to order from the screens. I asked about a paper copy but was told GYG don't have them. I told the gentleman I didn't know how to order and I got nothing. I managed to order something and I had a gift card which I recieved for christmas. I was quite distressed after ordering as I got no help or guidance from the Customer Service Officer that had NO IDEA. When it came time to pay I asked how do I use this gift card I got "I don't know and then he just stood there waiting for me to figure this out. So my exciting trip to GYG for the first time was ruined by this Customer Service Wanker. Sorry for my language but he really was a poor representation of this company. So he didn't k ow what to do. Meanwhile I am trying to swipe or scan with no luck and the Customer service officer is doing nothing offering no help and I lost it I had to ask him for a manager. A manager came up and I was really angry and upset. I told her what happened. Her name was Bree. She honestly was amazing able to turn around my mood explained things to me on how to order and was extremely helpful. I was really upset as I don't lose my shit in public but this guy went and stood elsewhere and whilst the manager was very kindly helping me and sorting the payment and adding sweetener to coffee. This gentleman/boy stood at the landing zone laughing thinking it was all a funny joke. I called him out in front of the resturant. I was mortified by his behaviour and extremely upset with myself that I let him get to me so much. By the end I was telling Bree that I was having a great day until him and that I was on the verge of tears for letting myself get riled up. But that was how USELESS and rude and disresptful and unhelpful Customer Service Officer I have ever encountered in my 46years. I need to reiterate that the new manager that had been there for 3 days was amazing. Her name was Bree and at least she was able to make me feel welcomed and not a nuisance for serving me. Thank you Bree. As for the gentleman he is a disgusting representation of GYG and needs serious retraining.

    The food is always good, But you will wait forever as they prioritise Uber eats orders and orders…read morefrom their App over all others so you'll sit at your table for an age. Need to fix this and bring food out to tables faster.
