Regular sized chicken burrito bowl. Pretty small for the price and the flavor is blah.
Nicole L.

I was so excited to finally try this place because I had heard good things. Spoiler alert - it sucks! Honestly, this place makes my blood boil and it's been a few days since my experience. First off, I downloaded their app to my iPhone and no matter how many times I tried to use the free burrito introductory offer, it wouldn't let me. It kept saying "not available on this device". Not only that, but if you exit the menu/ordering screen (which I did to check for the free burrito since I couldn't figure out at first where it was supposed to appear) it deletes everything from your "cart" and you have to rebuild your order from scratch. I decided to order inside instead. Upon entering I thought it looked nice and inviting. I like how they have a bar area to grab condiments, such as different hot sauces, which have lids for to go orders. That's where the compliments end... I figured I could show my rewards barcode to the cashier since the app indicated the free burrito was in there, but she told me it could only be used in the app. When I explained the issue I was having in the app, she just shrugged and said she's not that familiar with that. So my husband, who has an Android phone, downloaded the app and had no issues getting the free burrito offer. I guess the app doesn't like iPhone users? I don't know, but it certainly felt that way. I mention the above because I should have heeded the universe's warning not to bother with this place. My husband got the beef brisket burrito. Not only were there only 2-3 pieces of fatty, flavorless, chewy meat inside, the size of the meat was too big for a burrito. Imagine biting into a burrito and pulling out a large chunk of meat with your teeth. Not only that, but the pickled jalapeno he requested was only at the tail end of the burrito. It's a real pet peeve of mine is when the fillings of a burrito aren't distributed evenly throughout. The point of a burrito is to get a taste of everything in a single bite, not to have a different flavor experience as you work your way through it. Shame on this place for prioritizing speed over accuracy and haphazardly putting together a burrito, that if the shoe was on the other foot, they wouldn't want to eat themselves. As for the chicken burrito bowl, see my photo - it is NOT the mini size, which I almost ordered. I was able to eat the entire thing in one sitting. That was never the case when I used to get Chipotle. Much like my husband's burrito, there were only a few pieces of chicken and none of them were bite-sized. Why wouldn't they make the chicken pieces smaller? Not only does it make the bowl easier to eat, but it appears you're giving people more food that way. There was hardly any Pico de gallo in the bowl, and even though it claimed to come with tomatillo sauce, it didn't seem to have any in it. The lettuce was just a few large chunks that tasted like dirt. I cannot reiterate enough that the way they construct burritos and burrito bowls here is incredibly STUPID. Has no one who works here ever eaten one??? And why are the portion sizes so small? The chips and guacamole were ok. I personally don't care for tomato in my guacamole, so I've had better. The chips were just ok, and once again, the portion size was small compared to other restaurants. Honestly, I don't get the hype. My husband and I promptly deleted their app from our phones and will never eat at a Guzman y Gomez again.

I stopped by here for lunch since I work down the street and I think chipotle is a better deal. The quality is about the same and the food is fairly average. However, the quantities they give are smaller. It's not as filling as chipotle. The tacos tasted good. Nothing out of the ordinary but they definitely skimped on the meat. Same goes for the burrito bowl I tried.

The two dollar tacos are amazing. The shell season really well. I also got the chips and guac and everything is fresh. The servers were more than glad to help me even though it was my first time there and I didn't know what I

Guzman y Gomez is a solid fast casual Mexican restaurant that leans slightly American, but still sticks to its culinary roots. If you're looking for a burrito, bowl, tacos, with some Corona and margaritas, you can get that here! I like dining in as seats and tables are plentiful. The interior design is varied and is insta-worthy. Sides include fries which you can top with queso. Churros here are decent, but you have to pay extra for chocolate and caramel sauces. Guzman y Gomez doesn't break the bank, and I prefer it to more expensive places that have a 1 hour wait. Whether it's to go or dining in, you can't go wrong.

BIEN HERE BEFORE As…read morepart of the Bien Trucha restaurant family, Quiubo serves some familiar flavors in downtown Naperville. The Water St area has a great variety of restaurants including Vasili's (modern Greek), Blue Sake (sushi), SixtyFour Wine Bar and Quiubo (modern Mexican).  Technically I ate from here once - takeout during covid - but it was so long ago it might as well not count.  Most recently, my wife and I came here for dinner on a Friday in late June and sat outside. The sangria ($14) was strong, I appreciated the extra touches like apple bitters and a float of bourbon.  My wife loved the Pa'Dentro ($15), a cocktail with tequila, passion fruit, and orange liqueur.  The mango habanero margarita ($15) was also mixed perfectly.  5/5 The guacamole ($11) was fresh and flavorful: avocado, tomatillo, onion, cilantro, serrano and lime.  My wife found it a bit too spicy (diced serrano adds more heat than a traditional jalapeno) but I enjoyed it despite a small-ish portion.  4/5 We also got a queso fundido de camaron ($16): melted chihuahua cheese, red onion and pan seared shrimp, with tortillas and cilantro-serrano sauce.  Pan searing the shrimp instead of grilling them is certainly a choice....but not one I'd make again.  2/5 Esquites ($8.50), on the other hand, were awesome: grilled corn, epazote butter, lemon aioli, cotija cheese, tajin.  One of the best we've tried in a long time, but for $9 we expected a lot more elote!  5/5 The birria tacos (2 for $11) were very good; my wife was right to point out they should've come with a cup of birria juice on the side.  The tacos al pastor (2 for $10) were delicious: marinated pork with pineapple, cilantro, onion and salsa morita.  Next time, more tacos!  4.5/5 For dessert we got flan ($10), a creamy vanilla custard with caramel, rompope and cookie crumbs.  It was a denser style of flan and tasted amazing, but I don't know how I feel about that random pile of cookie dust.  4/5 Bread = 4.5 Circuses = 3.5 It took way too long for a server to come over and take our order at the beginning.  Thankfully the food came out FAST!  The bar, on the other hand, was lagging big time.  We were more than halfway finished with dinner by the time our cocktails showed up. Also important note for cheapskates like me: they do not serve free chips & salsa.  Quiubo isn't that kind of place, so if you want salsa with chips, you'll have to pay for it. * TL;DR * Rest assured you can get the same high quality tacos and cocktails from the Bien Trucha group. We were really impressed with a couple items like the esquites/elotes and al pastor tacos, as well as the atmosphere inside.  The vibes outside were solid and even though service was slow at first, we'd love to come back.  I'd recommend Quiubo for sure.

Transparency Matters Bartender mistake, surprise fees, and…read morepoor communication. My husband and I stopped by for drinks and a couple of appetizers on date night. Unfortunately, we left disappointed. My husband first ordered a mezcal that was available as either a 1 oz pour for $12 or a full shot (1.5 oz) for $18. When he later ordered a different mezcal, the bartender asked if he wanted the 1 oz pour again, so naturally he said yes, assuming the same option was available. After serving the drink and after he had already taken a sip, she came back and said she had made a mistake and that this particular mezcal was only available as a $18 shot (1.5 oz). We didn't want to argue and simply asked her to top it off. Still, a bartender's mistake should not become the customer's responsibility after the drink has already been served. The second surprise came with the bill, when we were informed that an additional fee would be added for paying by credit card. Restaurants are free to charge such fees, but customers should be informed before ordering, not when it's time to pay. We spent over $70 on three drinks and two appetizers, so the issue wasn't the money. It was the lack of transparency and the way these situations were handled. With so many excellent bars and restaurants in downtown Naperville, I'd recommend spending your money at a place that values clear communication and treats its customers more fairly. We came in hoping for a fun and relaxing date night, but left disappointed by how these situations were handled.

Okay, I have questions. First, how is that considered a meal for one?…read more I ordered the steak burrito with chips, salsa, and guacamole at the counter and took everything home. Somewhere around halfway through the burrito, I realized I had made a serious miscalculation. This thing was enormous. By the time I finally admitted defeat, I was completely stuffed and still had a pile of chips sitting there that I couldn't possibly finish. The burrito itself was seriously good. I've had a lot of Mexican food since moving away from San Diego, including plenty of food down near the border, and this is easily one of the better burritos I've had since leaving. The steak was great, the portions were generous, and it actually tasted like the kind of food I remember getting back in San Diego. The salsa was good, but the guacamole was the real surprise. That guac was incredible. I probably could have eaten the entire container with nothing but chips and been perfectly happy. The restaurant has that authentic, no-frills feel that I really like. You walk in, order at the counter, grab your food, and head home. Nothing fancy and nothing trying too hard. Just good food, huge portions, and the kind of meal that makes you realize you probably should have ordered less right around the time you realize you're not going to stop eating. Taking it home was probably for the best anyway, because nobody had to witness the ritual of unbuttoning your pants after a meal like this. That ritual is usually reserved for Thanksgiving. I went in expecting a cheap burrito. I ended up with a burrito big enough to humble me, incredible guacamole, leftover chips, and tomorrow's lunch already handled. That's the kind of math I'm happy to do.
