Healthy, gluten free, dairy free and enjoyable Mexican style food
When someone says take-away food, the mind doesn’t usually go to vegan, gluten free, dairy free and healthy, nutritional options. Zambrero is changing the game on this front and it’s happening right here in Newcastle.
Zambrero has always been a more non-traditional form of take-away eating, having always had healthy options available to their customers. But as it became more apparent that there was a calling for take-away gluten and dairy free dining, especially somewhere as progressive as Newcastle, more alternatives began to be incorporated in to the menu to open the eatery up to a wider audience and give more people the option to enjoy the delicious, Mexican style, take-away food without compromising their dietary values.
The demographic for this type of eating in Newcastle is growing each year and as Liam Benson, owner of Zambrero Hamilton, Kotara and Cessnock says,
“Zambrero complements Newcastle well, Newcastle people in general are very health conscious and are open to vegan, vegetarian and gluten free foods.”
Small changes that can be made to a recipe that leads to more people being able to enjoy it is constantly at the forefront of the mind at Zambrero. Sauce recipes have been tweaked to allow consumption from those who are dairy and gluten free –Zambrero’s BBQ sauce is their only sauce containing gluten. Everything else is a free-for-all, coeliacs!
“It’s funny when coeliacs ask what they can order, the answer is pretty much you can have whatever you like –tacos, nachos, burritos, they can have them all.”
For the vegan/lactose intolerant Novocastrians, the spiced cauliflower mix is the meat replacement you’ve been waiting for. No more fake mince to go along with your Mexican beans, Zambreo’s spiced cauliflower is a low-carb, high fibre game changer. As well as this, you can count on Zambrero’s vegan cheese and sour cream to be the cherry on top of your already delicious meal and the thing that keeps you coming back.
“Lactose intolerant people are able to order nachos that’s completely lactose free, with cheese that melts in front of them.”
As someone who has trialled their fair share of vegan cheeses, I can attest that Zambrero’s is up there with one of the best you’ll find in Newy.
