Nice food, feels a little expensive for a burrito with guacamole for $13.50. Very bright atmosphere not really classy like a proper restaurant. But if you are in the mood for mexican, this place really hits the spot.

Who doesn't love a good burrito. Or nachos. Or tacos... or... you get the point. I have a friend who SWEARS by Guzman Y Gomez, but being from 'out west', another, similar mexican food chain holds dominance--and retail contracts. So this weekend was my first experience with the brightly yellow-and-black signed chain.

And I was NOT dissapointed.

After a loooong morning, my mum and I decided to share some nachos. And wow were they good. Fresh tortilla chips, an explosion of flavourlful toppings, fresh, tasty guacomole I could have eaten a tub of--and fresh cheese. No nasty cheese sauce, people. And the food came out QUICK, brought straight to our table.

The service was friendly and perfectly satisfactory--nothing unexpected--but what Guzman Y Gomez Rhodes has going for it is something unmatched. The location. The interior of the restaurant is small, but what you can't see from the food court is the enormous, open-air exterior verandah, covered with cosy tables, plants, shade umbrellas and brightly coloured cushions. We chose one helluva day. The sun was shining, the air was clear, and seriously. I could have quite happily stayed for hours.

Will DEFINITELY be going back. If not for the food, the location alone. But the food was VERY good. Don't miss it after a day at Ikea :)

Approximate cost: $8-15

Have been here a few times and have not been disappointed yet!
There is a wide variety of food on the menu. The burritos are huge and made fresh to order. Good value for money.

Approximate cost: $10.00
