Zambrero - Brisbane

Tried zambrero for the first time and was caught by the choices of food combo but decided to try the black rice which was something I really enjoyed. Was a simple dish and light in flavour. Tried the burrito version from the zambrero across from the PAH at another time and really enjoyed it - also very filling too

Fast convenient Mexican supporting a good cause in close proximity to the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital and Mater.  I'll admit that my first impression wasn't very positive - the flavor combinations just didn't do it for me (I'm more of a Guzman y Gomez type for burritos).  But, what got me to return was the fact that I could order any combination of ingredients in any form that I wanted.  I've been avoiding carbs, so I order 3 large scoops of chicken with cheese and lettuce and they just charge you $3 per scoop of meat and $0.50 per serving of cheese.  Most of my colleagues like that is is 'lighter' Mexican and everyone raves about the black rice.

It's fast food, but pretty tasty, and you could believe, healthy. Be aware though, of all the extras to make it delicious. They add up. Extra for sour cream, extra for cheese, extra for guacamole.. You occasionally get grumpy staff too (no extra charge). elsewherebriefly.com

On the weekend its quiet and quick so a good option if you're at the Mater. Always had fresh and tasty foods at other Zambreros and this is no exception. Friendly service and surprisingly...its licenced!

Can't fault this place. ALWAYS fresh and tasty. Generous portion sizes. Friendly staff. Nice decor. Funky tunes. The oasis in a food desert. Very good, always good! ????
