I'm a big Guzman y Gomez fan in general, but was a bit disappointed by the slow-cooked beef burrito I got today. First, I was thrown off by the fact that they were charging extra for the slow-cooked beef - they used to charge extra for the steak, but now they do for the beef as well. Couple that with the fact that there wasn't a great deal of beef in the burrito and I was a bit disappointed. I usually rate GYG burritos a 4, but this was a 3-3.5.
I was excited to try the new fries ($3 small/$5 reg), which are a bit unique in the fact that they are skin-on. The fries were good, but the best part was that they were serving organic Heinz ketchup.
Upon further reflection, it saddens me a bit that GYG have continued to mainstream their offerings. There is nothing Mexican about fries. They have done away with the traditional names (Beef/Chicken Guerrero and Chipotle Pork are now called slow-cooked beef, grilled chicken and pulled pork) and now they are serving fries and nacho fries. I guess I just wish they would stick to what they are good at.
