Guzman Y Gomez

Guzman Y Gomez


Tonight was a turning point in Australian cuisine. Mexican food hath arrived in Sydney. Just a few blocks from Uni, a taqueria opened up that can hold a candle to what we know and love back in California. The use of spices and peppers were very flavorful, atmosphere casual and pricing just right.

Some common mistakes here is having sit down service and white table cloths to try and formalize the experience. Gu y Go are casual, take away fare with a few select places to stuff yer gob with the foil wrapped burritos. Secondly, they custom make there own corn chips = big plus. Also, the prices were very reasonable given they are the only legitimate game in town. There were even those large jugs that are used to serve Horchata and Aqua Fresca. Once they get those filled, it's going to be off the hook.

I just wish it hadn't taken 15 months to open, as we'd certainly have a lot less to complain about during our stay. Now, the move home is much more difficult.
