Hello, I have been…read morecoming to get lunch from this location for about six months now. Recently there have been men at the counter that are extremely rude and very aggressive. I order a kids meal for lunch so much that my co-workers got me gift cards. I was willing to pay for the vegetables, but the rudeness overpowered my kindness. I will cash in my gift cards and stay away. I do not think black people are accepted in the store so I will not go back. This is very disheartening but there are plenty of places to get food from in Evanston. Tyra Holloway

I would definitely come back, the total was around $21 for 2 servings of tacos (with NU student discount haha). Service: This is fast food (Chipotle style) so things will move fast. Ambiance: There is seating inside and it is a big store. It's in a great area of town.

Stopped in for Cinco de Mayo. I was immediately greeted by a really nice guy…read more I wanted to pig out so I ordered a king steak burrito, rice and beans. I even paid $6 for extra meat. The dining area was clean with a large painting on the wall and the tv had the Cubs game on. I received my food and went home. The steak was tender but was lacking flavor. I was also disappointed in the amount of double steak. If this was double I would hate to see what it would have been without it. The salsas were good, red really has some heat, which I loved. The green salsa was herbaceous but had an overpowering citrus taste. The beans were creamy and delicious, they didn't taste burnt. The rice was also lacking a bit of flavor. I added some of the red salsa to it which helped a lot. I would go back, but I'm not in a rush.

I myself love the burritos and there isn't another place that I can think of that can compare with them. Other family members have ordered other dishes and have been very pleased.

Tania is so amazing; she even catered our wedding! Tomate is one of a kind, and Evanston/NU is so lucky to have them. The carnitas and carne asada remain the two shining stars on their menu. They are so freaking good. The horchatas are also so amazing. I didn't know how good I had it until I moved away and tasted bad horchatas for the first time. I've had burritos/tacos in Vegas, LA, NYC and Chicago (Pilsen). There have been restaurants that do some things better, but no one does carne asada/carnitas like Tomate. (Although I'm going to Mexico City/Oaxaca next month so we'll see if that changes haha) The burritos have risen in price to $11, but honestly holding pretty steady with Chipotle prices, which I consider the gold standard of takeout value. They've closed their storefront and moved to online only ordering. Remember to place your order ahead of time!

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.

They charge extra for sour cream, but have three salsas in dispensers out by the drinks dispenser, along with onions, cilantro, and sliced jalapenos, and they give you a few tortilla chips with your bowl.
