Guzman Y Gomez Mexican Kitchen
Since day one, GYG has been obsessed with making delicious Mexican food using only the best quality fresh produce.
GYG proudly boasts of real food, made fresh, using only the best ingredients.
As part of the commitment to clean Mexican food, GYG always provides transparency to customers about what is in the food.
Clean is the New Healthy
GYG’s Clean journey began eight years ago when they took a good look at their food menu.
The long journey to Clean was to make sure every GYG guest could walk away feeling great about what they were eating.
Whilst GYG didn’t have a lot of unacceptable additives or added preservatives in the food, they did have to challenge many of their suppliers and partners to create entirely new products for GYG to fit within the strict CLEAN guidelines.
At GYG, you won’t find many additives in the food, but when additives are necessary, you’ll find an explanation on why and what they are.
Since 2016, GYG have been reviewing the menu to ensure that every ingredient in the food is totally Clean. Alongside the amazing suppliers, this has meant tireless work updating some of the most iconic products like tortillas, cheese, and marinades to eliminate ingredients that didn’t meet the strict Clean criteria.
About GYG
Guzman 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.
After realising that there was a genuine gap in the Australian market for fresh, clean Mexican food, they decided to create their own restaurant named Guzman y Gomez to honour their childhood friends. Steven and Robert had a vision to build a restaurant business that had the speed and convenience of fast food but to re-invent the fast-food category by serving high-quality food.
They then set about ensuring the brand was authentic to its core and established GYG’s values which remain today. Every detail in establishing the brand was thought out. The brand’s main colours were developed as well as the bespoke GYG font in the logo (look carefully and you will see the GYG font is made of sticky tape to represent the amazing street art of Mexico).
The first Guzman y Gomez restaurant opened in Newtown in 2006. Today GYG operates over 200 restaurants in Australia, Singapore, Japan, and the United States.
OTR has 10 GYG stores across SA & regional Victoria.
