Guzman Y Gomez Mexican Kitchen Opens In Schaumburg

SCHAUMBURG, IL — Headquartered in Australia, Guzman y Gomez Mexican Kitchen continues adding restaurant locations across the United States. Among the latest is one that recently opened at 795 E. Golf Road in Schaumburg.

The proprietors tell Patch that when the restaurant opened to the public on Jan. 19, Guzman y Gomez sold more than 4,500 bowls and burritos on that first day. For some, it was nearly a two-hour wait, but the restaurant said it was able to get diners their orders in under four minutes. Since then, a full menu has been rolled out and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held.

"Schaumburg is an ideal location for us because of its vibrant community life and friendly population," Steven Marks, Guzman y Gomez founder and CEO, said. "We can’t wait to introduce our favorite flavors to the suburb and call this great neighborhood our home."

Guzman y Gomez touts its "fast-growing authentic Mexican fast-food concept" with a menu that features burritos, nachos, quesadillas and tacos. The Schaumburg location also has a drive-thru.

The Schaumburg location is the second in Illinois, following a Naperville restaurant opening in 2020.

According to the owners, the design of each Guzman y Gomez restaurant "channels Mexico’s urban streets with vibrantly colored tiles and street art that creates a high energy vibe paired with a Latin playlist that fills the background to keep the mood fun."
