Guzman y Gomez - Canberra Centre

Guzman y Gomez Canberra Centre brings the vibrant, energetic spirit of modern Mexico straight to the heart of the ACT. Located within the bustling Canberra Centre Shopping Centre on Bunda Street, our restaurant is a go-to destination for locals, shoppers, and late-night visitors craving authentic Mexican flavors served fast and fresh. Founded on a commitment to real ingredients and a “clean food” philosophy, GYG has redefined what fast food can be. We take pride in a menu that is 100% clean, meaning you will not find unnecessary additives, artificial colors, or hidden nasties in our dishes—just honest food that tastes incredible and makes you feel good.

Step inside our lively space on Ground Floor, Shop EG07/07B, and you will immediately encounter the unmistakable aroma of char-grilled meats, slow-cooked beans, and freshly prepared salsas. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with ample seating for solo diners, families sharing a casual meal, or a group of friends recharging after a shopping spree. Whether you choose to dine in, grab a quick takeaway, or have your favorites delivered straight to your door, our team is dedicated to providing a consistently excellent experience, one delicious bite at a time.

Our Menus & Signature Dishes

At GYG Canberra Centre, the menu is built around a few iconic pillars that keep our regulars coming back for more. Every item is crafted to order using ethically sourced ingredients, striking the perfect balance between bold Mexican tradition and modern Australian tastes.

Legendary Burritos

Our burritos have earned a cult following for a reason. We hand-wrap a generous combination of cilantro-lime rice, black or pinto beans, your choice of protein—such as our world-class slow-cooked pork carnitas, grilled chicken, or sautéed vegetables—along with fresh salsa, cheese, and creamy guacamole in a warm, soft tortilla. The result is a neat, portable meal that bursts with flavor in every bite.

Customizable Burrito Bowls

For those who want all the goodness without the tortilla, our burrito bowls are the perfect alternative. We layer the same fresh ingredients into a bowl, making it easy to mix and match flavors. It is a lighter option that never compromises on taste, and an excellent choice for anyone avoiding gluten or simply in the mood for something different.

Street-Style Tacos

Our tacos are hand-held perfection, available with soft flour or crunchy hard-shell tortillas. We encourage mixing and matching fillings—try one spicy ground beef, one tender chicken tinga. Each order of two or more lets you build your perfect combination. Finished with crisp lettuce, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and a squeeze of lime, they capture the authentic street-food vibe we love.

Loaded Nachos

Perfect for sharing, our nachos start with a bed of crispy corn chips generously layered with your choice of protein, warm nacho cheese, black beans, jalapeños, guacamole, and sour cream. It is a crowd-pleaser that transforms any gathering into a mini fiesta.

Enchiladas & Quesadillas

When you want something hearty and comforting, our enchiladas deliver. Soft tortillas are filled, rolled, and smothered in a zesty sauce, then baked until bubbly. Our quesadillas add a golden, crispy twist, stuffed with melty cheese and flavorful fillings, then grilled to oozing perfection. Both are proof that Mexican comfort food is in a league of its own.

All-Day Dining & Late-Night Cravings

Understanding that hunger does not follow a 9-to-5 schedule, the GYG Canberra Centre keeps its doors open later than almost anyone else. Our trading hours are designed to serve you and your crew whenever the craving hits.

• Sunday to Thursday: 10:00 am – 11:59 pm
• Friday & Saturday: Midnight – 12:30 am and 10:00 am – 11:59 pm

Catering for Groups & Events

Beyond our everyday restaurant service, Guzman y Gomez Canberra Centre is also equipped to elevate your next gathering with our convenient catering options. Whether you are hosting a corporate lunch in the CBD, a graduation party in Bruce, a sports team wind-down in Reid, or a relaxed family get-together in Turner, our catering menus can be tailored to suit your group size and preferences.

Choose from expansive burrito boxes, build-your-own taco platters, or party-sized nachos that let everyone dive in. Each catering order comes with all the necessary utensils, sauces, and garnishes, ensuring a stress-free setup so you can actually enjoy the party instead of working the kitchen. The same clean-food promise applies—every ingredient is fresh, every dish is made to order, and every bite reflects our passion for real Mexican food.

Our Clean Food Commitment

What truly sets Guzman y Gomez apart from the typical fast-food landscape is our unwavering dedication to clean food. We believe that our customers deserve complete transparency about what they eat. GYG was founded to fight against the usual “big fast food” approach of using additives, preservatives, and ingredients that are difficult to pronounce.

In our kitchen, you will not find any artificial flavors, colors, or unnecessary processing. Our grass-fed beef and free-range pork are slow-cooked for hours; our salsas are made fresh daily from real tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and coriander; and our guacamole is made from 100% Hass avocados. When you eat at GYG Canberra Centre, you take part in a food movement centered on flavor, integrity, and well-being. Every menu item reflects this ethos, allowing you to indulge in the joyful richness of Mexican cuisine while feeling genuinely good afterward.
