Australians have a hard time understanding Mexican cuisine. Cisco's is a good example of this…read more While the food presented looks authentic, it's taste is far from it. The chips and salsa which is usually presented free in real Mexican restaurants cost $10. The hand cut salsa lacked seasoning and the chips obviously from a bag from a local supermarket. It gets worse from here. I had a burrito and my partner had the fajitas. They were presented with shredded cheese from a bag and old looking iceberg lettuce. The meat was seasoned with what tasted like Old El Paso taco mix. Why can't these people just take a trip to Mexico?

For this particular…read morestore, no complaints and will get nice service with the standard food quality and atmosphere expected of the Guzman y Gomez chain. My lack of the last star is just in comparison to other Mexican franchises: whilst I think they are the best Mexican franchise in Australia, I will say Zambreros delivers on "freshness" better with their selection of salsas and having numerous added on, plus the overall size of the burrito. If Guzzies upped their game here, they'd get 5 stars. But again, still the best franchise and I would consider them better than Zambies, Mad Mex and Taco Bell overall. All my reviews are standardised to the following star ratings: 1. Customer service I.e. friendly, easy to book, etc. 2. Accessibility I.e. location, decor and scenery, easily assessable or flexible, etc. 3. Work, health and safety I.e. clean, safe, etc. 4. Quality of goods and/or services I.e. good food, good movers, etc. 5. Comparison to similar for location - I.e. would I recommend this above other places

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.

There really are some great things about this place and I will run through them quickly: Decor - cool laid back vibe. Been here multiple times and just noticed that the "chandelier" made of skulls is actually old broken skateboard decks. That's pretty bad ass. Friendly staff. Quick service. Daily specials and lunch time deals. Good food. Good drink selection. Reasonably priced. Now the issues, and really it's one main one and a second one that's more of a head scratcher: Lack of real flavor/spices - it's supposed to Mexican place yet the food, although good, lacks any kick to it. Last time I changed Mexican food isn't known for its blandness. There are no sauces on the side to top off your dish with other than a standard bottle of hot sauce you can get from any market. Part of the experience of going to a Mexican restaurant is trying different flavors/concoctions of sauces and varieties of salsas. Sure they have a tiny cup plastic cup of salsa you can buy for $2 more, but it was watery and bland too. Here's a free marketing tip... get a little sauce station with some nice hot sauces and salsa option and you will be likely see your drink revenue increase! Other small issue, which was already mentioned by another reviewer, is the literally 3 small tortilla chips with a burrito. Not only is that just bizarre by itself, but if you get the burrito to take away, they don't even give you the chips . Just bizarre. Either give a handful or chips or don't give them at all.

Zambrero is my favourite quick takeaway/fast food thing that isn't quite fast food…read more It's a simple mexican grill fast food with your choice of innards. The choices might not seem much at first sight, but there's a great number of mix and match really. My favourite is still the chicken (a variation of the chicken adobo) with everything and corn and onion salsa. The verde sauce is meant to be the spiciest sauce but it's just nice for me (one who is used to spices). The burrito is the largest offering of the lot, but even the taco can get pretty filling if you are in a hurry. It can get pretty busy and the queues can get very long (and they work till late at night on fridays and saturdays). However, the queues are fast moving and worth the wait! There's no alcohol in the place, but lots of soft drinks and teas.
