Guzman y Gomez - Hawthorn

Guzman y Gomez is a lively counter-serve chain that serves traditional tacos and burritos, along with Mexican beer.

The restaurant is located in Hawthorn, Victoria, and is part of a multinational casual-dining and fast food restaurant chain that specializes in Mexican cuisine. The founders of Guzman y Gomez, Steven Marks and Robert Hazan, were childhood friends from New York who missed the authentic fresh flavors of Mexican cuisine that they had grown up with in America. They decided to create their own restaurant named Guzman y Gomez to honor their childhood friends and to build a restaurant business that had the speed and convenience of fast food but served high-quality food. Guzman y Gomez is passionate about creating delicious Mexican food using the best ingredients. They use fresh ingredients and authentic techniques, and they don't take shortcuts in their restaurants. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner options that offer real Mexican flavor in every bite. The food is made out of real ingredients, and up to 24-hour marinades, chip-tasting sessions, and chilies are used to create the authentic taste and flavors of Mexico. The restaurant's menu includes dishes such as burritos, nachos, tacos, quesadillas, and other Mexican-inspired items, including drinks. The food is made fresh, and the restaurant does not compromise on the quality of the food or its people. The restaurant's atmosphere is casual and lively, and the decor channels Mexico's urban streets, with bursts of color and energy.
