Guzmán y Gómez has announced the return of a fan-favorite dish after it was removed from the menu last year.
The Mexican-themed fast food chain announced Monday that it would once again offer shredded shiitake mushrooms at its Australian restaurants.
Customers were outraged when the vegetarian option was removed last December and expressed their frustration on social media.
A petition was also launched urging Guzman and Gomez to bring back the food option.
“Give me back my shredded mushroom burrito bowl. I’d sell my kidney to get it back,” one wrote.
“Bring back the mushroom stuffing. It’s the only thing I order and I order it every week,” said another.
A third added: “I don’t know who decided to take shredded mushrooms off the menu, but I hope your pillow is warm on both sides!”
The chain has listened to the feedback and has not only revived the popular menu item, but is also launching shredded shiitake mushroom tacos.
Guzman y Gomez announced Monday that it will bring back foraged shiitake mushrooms to all of its Australian restaurants.
Customers were outraged when the vegetarian option was removed from the menu last year.
Steven Marks, founder and co-CEO of Guzman and Gomez, said: “GYG’s customer obsession with mushrooms is real. I’ve never had so much feedback on a menu item and as always, we listened and it’s back and better than ever.”
‘We’ve also included shredded shiitake mushroom on our breakfast menu so guests can add it to their breakfast burrito, our breakfast tacos, and as a side to guacamole on tostadas.
We know that adding plant-based shredded shiitake mushrooms to the menu will be a real conversation starter for our guests, especially our shredded shiitake mushroom taco with herb mayo is a special taco and we want everyone to try it.
‘GYG’s menu is completely customizable and every order is prepared to order, so spread the word: it’s time to fall in love with GYG’s shredded shiitake mushroom all over again.’
The plant-based option is available all day at GYG restaurants and on the app.
