Guzman y Gomez - Evanston

I stopped in for my lunch break & tried to order the burrito bowl, but was recommended the burrito because they had a special running. This was a great reorder. The burrito came with fries which I am a potato girly. I got it with the sautéed veggies & guac. & built up the flavor with the 3 levels of hot sauce in one container, onions, cilantro & the pickled jalapeños & carrots. The food tasted clean with fresh ingredients & the flavor & spice level are buildable. I am currently doing a pescatarian/vegetarian lifestyle change but they had meats & other vegetarian options that sounded delicious as well. This is a reasonably priced, hidden gem in this area.

My fav non-dairy option! Comfort food and healthy enough to keep me in line with dietary needs. The cali burrito with the chicken is my go-to order where I swap the cheese for the herb mayo 🔥🔥🔥 then you gotta dip the seasoned fries in the herb mayo to top it off. Shout out to Lea for hooking me up💪🏽

Pretty tasty food for the value! This Chipotle-style restaurant delivers burritos, tacos, bowls, and more of what’d you expect from a typical Tex-Mex franchise. I was quite pleased with the ingredients, which all tasted fresh and nicely seasoned. I enjoyed having a Cali Burrito with the spicy chicken; the chicken had good flavor, the guacamole was creamy and fresh, and the fries, which I’ve never tried inside a burrito before, added a great crunch. If you’re a hungry student or just looking to try another Tex-Mex chain, I’d recommend checking out Guzman y Gomez!

My friends and I are frequent visitors to GYG Evanston, for good reason(s). The food is excellent, and the portions are fair for the prices. My favorite menu items include the Burrito Bowl, Cali Burrito, and the Enchilada. GYG also has an awesome salsa station; the three offered flavors are tasty, and you can take as much as you want. The restaurant is clean, with ample seating that handles even the busiest rushes. The staff are always friendly, and one member in particular stands out to me: Chris. Chris is one of the Shift Managers, and I see him almost every time I go to GYG. He always makes sure to greet me with a smile and a fist bump, and he responds to any queries I might have attentively, respectfully, and quickly. He is friendly with the other staff members and plays a key role in cultivating the GYG environment that I love. Overall, GYG Evanston is one of my favorite places to eat, beats out the neighboring Chipotle, and I recommend that everyone give it a try! (Huge order I got below for proof of my claims)

As soon as I walked in I was greeted by everyone, though a bit startling at first, I found it welcoming. It was my first time here and I wasn’t sure what to expect or how to order and this young man Armon was super kind and helpful. He explained the different options available and gave me some recommendations. I tried the spicy chicken with the spicy mayo and it’s my favorite combo. I love that everything is fresh and made the day of. It taste very fresh, the only thing I didn’t like that much were the churros. They are vegan churros so I guess that’s why they taste interesting… Over all 9/10 on food and 10/10 on customer service and environment. I will definitely be back for the strawberry margaritas with my friends. Thank you Armon for your help and excellent customer service!!!
