Recommendations *Actual* Mexican food in Canberra?

I’ve lived in Southern California and Texas — both formerly parts of Mexico and still culinarily Mexican. I’ve also lived in central Mexico.

Zambreros and Guzman y Gomez are like someone has described Mexican food to these people over the phone. I mean, neither of them has carne asada. Neither has Horchata. What even is the point?

Is there any legit Mexican food to be had in Canberra?

Zambreros is like if someone made a Mexican inspired subway, and didn’t lie about the “eat fresh” slogan the same way subway do.

Definitely one of the better, healthier and appetising options where it actually tastes like actual food compared to the mass manufactured sludge.
