    Sparse, exceedingly clean, good & simple tacos. Nice service. Very wide spacing on tables. Comfortable chairs.

    4oz burgers

    Food was amazing. The burgers were freshly made to order no frozen patties on sight. French fries are also fresh made and cut. The tacos are scrumptious, authentic taste 10/10. Burgers are customizable to any liking. There are vegetarian options as well. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food.

    Taco burger

    Trying not to be too harsh but the taco burger was ok, meat was tasty bun mediocre. Fries hot. Spare decor. Prices a little steep relative to food.

    Weird

    What a disappointment. The space is very weird with no decor. We ordered take out. The chicken fajita was so over cooked it was hardly edible. The rice that came with it was so dry and flavorless that it was not eatable. The biggest problem was the chicken burrito had ZERO chicken. I mean NONE. See photo of the "chicken" burrito. Places with good food don't survive in Evanston...this place is doomed.

    taco burgers and mexican fries along with cajun fries

    lovely service lovely music lovely taco burger, never had a taco burger before but now i will definitely have it again in the future. also lots of fries options and they were the good type of fries not the typical fast food fries. also the place itself was modernized and up to date.

    When we walked in the music and the friendly faces behind the counter made us feel instantly at home and like we were in Mexico.

    See all

    The food had hair in it and too much seasoning. The burgers had too much sauce in it. The fries were cut into a trash can.

We were both hungry after (her probably a little hungrier from a long day of matches) and i suggested we find something casual in the area. I'm always blown away by how far Evanston has come since my college days and wish we had 1/4 of the amazing restaurants they have now. My daughter was in the mood for tacos so we stopped in here. I quickly realized this was in the same spot of one of my favorite college spots, Lulu's, which had sadly burned out. I was beyond excited when they said they still offered Lulu's menu. I have fond memories of their ginger chicken salad. I ordered the lulu's bento box, which included my favorite salad. The ginger dressing and crunchy noodles on top were as amazing as i remembered. I immediately texted my college friends about what i was eating and we all agreed it was the best salad ever. It also came with sesame noodles, cucumber salad and dumplings. It was a lot of food and not the healthiest meal, but tasty! My daughter enjoyed her tacos as well...and both of us also liked the complimentary chips. Our waitress was lovely and attentive and indulged me as I told her over and over how excited i was to be eating my favorite college salad 20 years later. Next time I won't wait so long to come back!

I ordered the Bistec ala Mexicana. I even had a choice of flour or corn tortillas. I also got some salsa and chips with a churro. The place was clean with awesome murals on the wall. The steak was tender with a char flavor as well as the peppers and onion. The sauce was tasty as I used the tortillas to sop up the sauce. The veggies were done beautifully and not cooked to mush. The two hot sauces were very distinct and added flavor to each bite. The refried beans were creamy and I love that it had whole beans. The fire roasted salsa was flavorful and I ate it so fast I was disappointed when it was gone. The chocolate churro was a great end to an awesome meal.

My first thought was, "This is like Chipotle, if Chipotle was actually good," and I'm sticking with that. Perhaps that can be the new slogan for Guzman y Gomez. Run with it, put it on your bags and cups, just make sure to pay me back in free burritos. It's not exactly the same model as Chipotle. You don't watch the magic happen, so there's no opportunity to request a little more of this or a bit less of that. But the staff here are so eager to please, I always find I get exactly what I was looking for anyway. If you need a little more of anything, just ask, and they're happy to oblige. Plus, this place has so many more options than Chipotle, it's crazy. Better food, better atmosphere, just better overall. During my first visit, I had the pleasure of chatting with one of the chefs, Dustin, and I could hear the passion for cooking in how he spoke about this role here. He broke down all their vegan options for me and made sure my first burrito was an absolute hit. It's probably that first visit that got me hooked, so G y G is lucky to have a guy like him. Two vegan mayos, chipotle or herb, both delicious. Pulled shiitake mushroom, seasoned beautifully and cooked to order. Perfectly cooked rice, yummy fajita veggies, salsa options galore, it was all spot on. Super authentic Mexican? No, but that's ok. "Inspired by authentic Mexican food" is fine by me. And how'd they manage to get so many friendly employees? I've been here a half a dozen times, and everyone is so damn chipper and happy to help. Plus, the music is upbeat and fun, not some dreary corporate playlist. I actually *want* to eat in, which I rarely look forward to in a fast food spot. I'm loving it. There are times when you just need something satisfying and fast that doesn't break the bank. This place brings that energy via fresh ingredients prepared with expertise. Plus, as I said, Chipotle is garbage. I'm glad Guzman y Gomez decided to pop up in Evanston.
