GYG provides surroundings rich in diversity and welcomes people from every corner of the world. They see many different groups of people coming through the door, as well as into their team.
The founder of GYG, Steven Marks, was born and raised in New York City where he was immersed in and became inspired by diverse cultures. He developed a passion for Mexican food and Latin culture from a young age. In 2006, Steven realised that there was a lack of Latin culture in Australia, and he believed that Australians would embrace the authentic flavours and traditional techniques of Mexican cuisine; hence, an idea was born!
The tempting menu of GYG is varied, including an array of delectable slow-roasted and grilled meat, fish, fresh vegetables and imported Mexican chillies and spices. You have the option of playing it safe or taking the plunge and pushing your spice limits. The chefs use only the freshest local ingredients and the best cuts of meat, cooked to perfection. Conveniently, the menu items as customisable to customers’ needs, with gluten-free and lactose-free options available. The food is delivered to your table or eager hands fast. You can’t go past the people’s choice, the classic Spicy Chicken Burrito; it’s guaranteed to make your mouth water. Marinated overnight, succulent fillets are chargrilled and hotted up with a kick of spicy Mexican chillies. To lighten the load on the palate, the chicken comes accompanied with fresh tomato, onion, chilli and tomatillo salsa, as well as rice, black beans and Aussie jack cheese, all rolled up in a flour tortilla.
And of course, feel free to wash it all down with your alcoholic Mexican drink of choice. On the menu are various Mexican beers and frozen cocktails, including sangria, Latin lemonade, and everybody’s favourite: margaritas.
