I go to Zambrero a lot. Loved it since it first opened in Canberra. This one just opened and I was a bit disappointed. They've changed the layout, instead of starting at one end and making it in front of you as you order it is now just order at the register GYG style. Which I wasn't expecting. This threw me off, and the staff didn't ask any questions about my order, I just ordered a chicken burrito and that was it. No follow up questions. Didn't even ask if I wanted guacamole. After doing the usual formula for so long, by changing to the new format the instructions to the customer were definitely not clear.
So after ordering and waiting awkwardly in front of the register like I'm at bloody Macca's, I got my order and was interested to see what I was going to get. It had sour cream in it (which I don't like but can eat), no guac, no fried beans, couldn't taste any lime, the chicken had a different taste to what it usually is (very salty), and I'm not sure what salsa they put on it.

I was son hungry and then I couldnāt eat and almost...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThey charged me 15% extra for "holiday surcharge" because today (June 10) is the celebration of the birthday of the King of England, even though he was born in November. When I asked the cashier, she didn't even seem to know it was a "holiday" or what the occasion was, I had to Google it later. The rice and beans were good, but although I asked for the spicy sauce, I got some kind of gross sweet sauce that made it difficult to enjoy any part of the burrito that had the sauce on it. Medium sized mediocre burrito for SIXTEEN...
