low the Star to pay homage to excellent coffee, a large selection of sweet things and a few
very good savoury things (gourmet pies and the like). There are only a couple of little

Trying to squeeze into crowded Campos, king of Sydney's bean scene, can be a

GUZMAN Y GOMEZ$
spicy alternative for fast-food aficionados, this zippy blue-and-yellow diner uses fresh
local produce to whip up authentic Mexican tacos, burritos and quesadillas. Everything's

family affair, with mum chatting with the customers while son turns out the likes of
bream, barramundi and swordfish for less than $30 a main.

boards, movie stills and a shrine of skulls provide the ambience at this exceedingly popu-
