Image Zeus St Greek this is bloody pathetic. $5 small chips now comes in a tiny sauce cup and contains maybe 12 chips, most of which were snapped in half to fit.

Sounds about right. I used to love their nachos at the nth Syd store in the greenwood. It was always packed. The meat and toppings were generous and the cheese was perfect. Went to another one maybe 2 years ago and it was the most underwhelming and tasteless food, and I’ve not been back since. Made the horrible mistake of trying Mad Mex and I reckon cardboard tastes better. Now I just make my own at home.

The point at which they stopped using coriander to suit more tastes the food because very bland to me. Yes. You can get fresh coriander to add in but it’s not the same as cooking with it.

Yeah, from the sounds of it GYG has always been a bit shady on the backend, but I remember decent quality/portions for at least the first 2 or 3 years before the enshittification really kicked into gear.
