GYG’s nutritionist, Sarah Patterson, swears by the burrito, adding that it’s the perfect way to add more veggies to your day:

Mini burrito with mild sauteed vegetables and guacamole filling.”

“I cannot go past anything with GYG’s soft fluffy tortillas – they are just it for me. As a nutritionist, I always look for meal options with protein, fibre, and good fats and a GYG burrito has just that. A veggie burrito also has over two servings of veg which contribute to my 5-a-day!”

Meanwhile, GYG’s head of Culinary, Luiza Gomes, recommends adding the underrated Chorizo from the breakfast menu:

“Spicy scrambled egg brekkie burrito bowl with chorizo and guac on toast with fresh jalapeno”

Jaymes Holden, Digital Marketing Manager, puts GYG’s customisable menu to good use with his order:

Mild Chicken Bowl, add lettuce, add Guac, add Coriander, remove Corn Chips; Large Fries w/ no chipotle seasoning; Sparkling water”

“Finding a place to eat out is often tricky due to what I can and can’t eat. GYG’s customisable menu gives me a range of delicious and clean choices.”

The Guzman y Gomez team also shared a selection of forgotten menu items you may not know about (I definitely didn’t).

Most notably, these guys have a breakfast menu many people forget to take advantage of. You can grab a brekkie burrito or a hash brown – yum.

The restaurants are also vegan-friendly, so plant-based folks can feel comfortable ordering away, too.

And if you’re on a budget, you can rest easy that the meals are pretty affordable. Plan to order the cheapest items on the Guzman y Gomez menu with this write-up on the best value-for-money dishes.
