My Experience at Zambrero
So, I recently hit up Zambrero and let me tell you, they serve up some seriously tasty grub! What I love the most is how they make their dishes with these fresh ingredients, giving the flavor an ultra zesty kick. The best part? My wallet didn't feel the pinch and lo and behold, I was munching on something healthy- is this what they call a win-win situation?
I was taken in by their tagline, "Food with a conscience." I mean, who can resist good healthy food that also makes the world a better place, right? Get this, for every meal you buy, Zambrero hands out a meal to a person in need through the Plate4Plate initiative. And boy, has their food and good heart made them Australia's sweetheart in the restaurant biz!
Zambrero's style is inspired by Mexican quick-service chains and believe me when I say, their food does justice to that inspiration. Think fresh Mexican meals, such as burritos, salads, bowls, and of course, the iconic tacos. They also cater to the vegan and gluten-free crowd, which I thought was a great inclusive move.
Where in the world is Zambrero?
I did a bit of digging and turns out, Zambrero started all the way in Australia! But now they've got spots in a couple of different places, like the United States, Mexico, New Zealand, Qatar, and even Dubai. And if you spot a food truck in UAE, chances are, that's Zambrero. They've hit 200 outlets - amazing, isn’t it?
What sets Zambrero apart?
My take is that what really sets Zambrero aside is its humanitarian side. When you dine at Zambrero, you feast knowing that there's someone, somewhere, getting a meal because of your choice. They channel some of their profits into fighting hunger, and they source from local farmers, thereby pumping life into local economies. Sustainable, delicious, and ethical. You really do feel good eating at Zambrero.
If it's Mexican food you crave without going broke, this is the place. They’ve got it all - burritos, tacos, quesadillas and of course, nachos. And if you're ravenous (been there, done that), make sure to order a mega combo. It’s a feast fit for a king with an oversized burrito, two tacos, and chips with salsa on the side. Oh boy, just writing this out is making me hungry!
So, I need to know how to order at Zambrero?
Trust me, ordering here is a breeze. All you do is pick what you want to munch on, choose a side, get a drink, and add any extras that tickle your fancy. Voila! You’ll soon be diving into a hot, fresh meal. Simple as that.
Anything for the kids?
Yes! Zambrero's got the kiddos covered. With a kid's menu encompassing a main dish, drink, and a choice between chips or fruit, even the fussiest eaters will find joy. Plus, they get an activity book! I found this to be super thoughtful and kid-friendly.
Are there delivery options?
If cooking is the last thing you want to do, guess what? Zambrero delivers! Although, do confirm if your location-specific Zambrero offers it. They've got a nifty Zam App too which you can use to place your pickup orders.
Can I get Zambrero for my party?
Yes! Not to sound like a cheesy commercial but Zambrero offers catering. They even provide mini burritos perfect for events. They also have party platters serving 10-12 people and a range of drinks. They bring the party to you!
Is the food as healthy as you say it is?
Definitely. Zambrero is not just about taste; they seriously care about your health as well. Fresh ingredients, high protein, low fat – talk about healthy and delicious!
Vegetarian options at Zambrero?
Plenty! From black bean burritos to quinoa bowls, Zambrero's got vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and even nut-free options.
What's the deal with Zambrero's Plate 4 Plate initiative?
It's a simple yet impactful initiative. For every meal you buy, they donate a plate of food to the needy. They've even tied up with local food banks and charities to ensure that the food reaches those who need it most. These guys don't just talk the talk but walk the walk too!
What time can I hit up Zambrero?
Usually, Zambrero's open from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm, but cross-check with your local outlet as the hours may vary. Do note, they're closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas dates. Be it a quick lunch or hearty dinner, they've got you covered.
