Local Guzman y Gomez confirmed

CONSTRUCTION is set to begin on a new dining option in Maryborough.

Crews moved in last week to demolish the former Cripps Auto Electrical Service building on the corner of Alice and John Streets ahead of work on a new building, to be home to Guzman y Gomez.

A development application for the site was lodged with Fraser Coast Regional Council in September.

It included plans for a 230sqm building, and a two-lane drive-through and waiting bay.

Guzman y Gomez offers casual dining and takeaway options, specialising in Mexican cuisine with burritos, nachos, tacos, quesadillas and other Mexican-inspired items available.

The chain was established in Sydney in 2006 by New Yorkers Steven Marks and Robert Hazan, and operates more than 160 restaurants in Australia.
