According to a recent article from the Daily Herald, Guzman y Gomez will soon expand with a new Evanston location at 1710 Sherman Avenue.
“The fifth Guzman y Gomez in the Chicago area recently opened in Deerfield with a sixth coming to Evanston in March. The chain was founded in 2006 by two New Yorkers who had moved to Australia and missed the authentic taste of high-quality Mexican food they grew up eating,” according to the article.
Guzman y Gomez’s website states, “After realizing that there was a genuine gap in the market for fresh, delicious Mexican food, they decided to create their own restaurant named Guzman y Gomez to honor their childhood friends. Steven and Robert had a vision to build a restaurant business that had the speed and convenience of fast food but to re-invent the fast food category by serving high-quality food.”
“Steven and Robert then set about designing the bespoke operating platform & sticker system which remains one of the fastest fresh fast food operating platforms in the world; ensuring GYG could prepare and make high-quality fresh burritos, nachos & tacos at speed.”
“GYG’s commitment to reinvent fast food continued to inspire new ways to serve fresh Mexican food to everyone. From the first drive-thru in 2015 to menu innovations like Breakfast, the Minis range, and GYG’s signature Chiptole-Seasoned Fries, and even a market-leading app for guests to pay & order ahead and earn loyalty points – the GYG love just kept spreading!”
