THE Redlands latest Mexican food outlet - Guzman Y Gomez at Victoria Point - will open its doors for the first time at midday on Thursday, June 20.
In celebration of GYG's opening, free burritos and burrito bowls will be available, according to franchisee German Leudo.
"We gave away 4700 burritos at the opening day at Capalaba (in December) and are expecting to do similar numbers at Victoria Point," Mr Leudo said.
"We are expecting long queues but the line usually moves quite fast.
"We will have six burrito fillings on offer, including vegetarian options so we can give locals a taste of the food we have on offer."
The burrito bowls provide a gluten-free option.

"I have moved to the area now, living just five minutes from the shop and am looking forward to our opening," Mr Leudo said.
The free burritos are only available to walk-ins, with the drive-through closed on the opening day.
