Born and raised Wagga gents, Mina, Fadi and David discovered Zambrero in the company’s hometown of Canberra. After sampling the zesty salsas and sumptuous sauces, the trio was ready to spread the burrito happiness. Pharmacists by trade, and well-experienced business owners, the three are ready to explore their next venture; and lucky for Wagga, that happens to be a Zambrero.

Zambrero Wagga Wagga is set to open Wednesday, 15 May.

‘We use the freshest and highest quality local produce, prep our salsas in house, and make our guacamole from scratch throughout the day. Our meats are slow cooked, our tacos are hand pressed, and we offer a range of unique sauces boasting explosive flavour. Top off your burrito with a squeeze of fresh lime and jalapeños that we import from Mexico…Our burritos are bangin’. – Eli

One of the more unique facts about Zambrero is that every time a customer buys a meal from Zambrero, the company provides a meal to someone in need.    The program is called PLATE4PLATE.  In August 2012, Zambrero celebrated a milestone: surpassing one million meals provided!

‘It means we have a business that isn’t just about burritos. Our entire team loves that every time we roll a burrito, we are helping someone who needs it.’ – Jamie

Uni students rejoice: your Mexican cuisine fix is coming…

The ingredients are fresh like you’d expect them to be. The garlic is purple, the onions are red, and the avocado is smashed in front of you. Meats are slow cooked and most of the menu is gluten free!

The Melbourne Uni store has been fit out by the well-known team from Juicy Designs. Zambrero is open at Union House, Tin Alley in Melbourne Uni.

Ever been stuck on Chapel Street after midnight searching for something to eat that isn’t deep-fried? So has Mitchell Jones, the owner of new late night eatery Zambrero.

“I’ve found myself in that section of Chapel Street more than once or twice late at night and said ‘not again’ to the traditional fast food options,” says Jones.

Staying open from lunch until 3am Thursday-Sunday and late every other night, Zambrero will be a go-to for late night diners looking for tasty food.

The couple have taken Townsville by storm, with Shaun being somewhat of a local celebrity in light of his international Rugby Union career. Yet it was ironically in Canberra where they discovered Zambrero and recognised its ‘lunch to late-night’ popularity would score tries with the Townsville crowd. Their existing Flinders Street Zambrero has seen great success. With lines out the door, it is one of the most popular eatery’s in the vicinity!

“We’re excited to be opening our second Zambrero Franchise here in Townsville, with such success of our first one. We’re also gearing up for a busy trade with our $5 Burritos and Bowls on the day” said McCarthy, “We’re also so excited to be adding to the Plate4Plate effort, which is a great initiative.”
Zambrero Townsville is located at Shop 267, Stockland Townsville, 310 Ross River Rd, Aitkenvale, QLD. The opening date has been confirmed to be the 10th of October.

Founder Dr. Sam Prince, a Monash University Graduate and Honouree had this to say “I am very excited about our presence in Melbourne, it is such an energetic and robust city, I feel Zambrero will fit well with the full-bodied atmosphere.” We will be opening up their 2nd Melbourne Store in South Yarra towards the latter end of this year.

Franchise nights are going to be held:

• Melbourne 19^th September
• Sydney 25^th September

Canberra Centre is the third Zambrero for Franchise partner Arthur Choi, whose Woden and Australian National University restaurants are already proving him a force in small format stores. “We are confident that our new Zambrero restaurant will be a great success,” says Choi, “Zambrero is healthy, tasty, portable, totally different from anything else in the foodcourt and ideal for lunch.”

Perfectly formed, the Zambrero burrito is tightly packed with fresh, healthy punch making it the ideal choice for hungry office workers in the business district surrounding the Canberra Centre. Watch this small package buck against a soft economy as Zambrero staffs-up, for the lunchtime rush.”

The Zambrero team served an additional 11,506 meals on this day towards their Plate4Plate Program, which consists of Plate of food donated for every Burrito and Bowl sold.

2012 ACT Young Australian of the Year and Zambrero founder Dr. Sam Prince was at the Braddon and Canberra Centre stores in the ACT, he stated “We could not have asked for a better turn out. I am warmed by the amount of support we have received towards a very worthy cause.”

The Zambrero team hope to celebrate this significant event again in the future.
