Guzman y Gomez Mexican Kitchen Continues U.S. Expansion, Announcing 2nd Restaurant in Schaumburg Coming January 2023

After opening their first restaurant in the US, one of the world’s fastest-growing fast-food companies Guzman y Gomez Mexican Kitchen will open their second drive-thru in Schaumburg, Illinois with $5 Burritos and Bowls at Grand Opening on Jan 19.  

Founder and CEO of Guzman y Gomez (GYG) Steven Marks always had a dream of bringing the brand ‘home’ to the US. The native New Yorker, who in 2006 founded Guzman y Gomez Mexican Kitchen in Australia has built an impressive business dominating the Mexican fast-food category internationally and now has over 175 restaurants in Australia, Singapore, and Japan.

In January 2019 the US dream came true with the opening of Guzman y Gomez’s first drive-thru in Naperville and since then, the GYG crew has proudly served the Naperville community fresh, made-to-order burritos, bowls, nachos, tacos, nachos fries and their famous cali burrito (a burrito with fries in it).

Today GYG is proud to announce the opening of their second US location in one of Chicagoland’s largest suburbs, Schaumburg, located at 795 E. Golf Road. GYG Schaumburg will open to the public on Thursday, January 19 from 10 am for dine-in, takeaway, and drive-thru orders with $5 burritos and bowls. Guests can make it a meal with the famous chipotle seasoned fries and a fountain soda for just $3. This will be followed by a full menu offer in the days from January 20.  

Steven Marks, Guzman y Gomez Founder and CEO “GYG has always had the vision to reinvent fast food because we genuinely believe that fast food doesn’t have to mean bad food. We also want to provide the highest quality menu items and ingredients at a great value with the speed and convenience of traditional fast food. Some call our concept fast casual but there’s nothing casual about GYG, we’re a fast-paced and high-energy team who wants to give our guests a phenomenal and memorable experience. We will never compromise on the quality of our food, and I really hope our locals in Schaumburg come along to our Grand Opening so we can showcase our incredible authentic Mexican flavors and show everyone our GYG energy and love!”

“Schaumburg is an ideal location for us because of its vibrant community life and friendly population. We can’t wait to introduce our favorite flavors to the suburb and call this great neighborhood our home.”

If it’s not obvious by now, Guzman y Gomez is all about the food! The obsession with quality is second to none. From the incredible proteins including; flame grilled free-range chicken and Angus steak, pulled pork carnitas, and shredded beef brisket to their house-made guacamole and pico de gallo, the quality of GYG’s food has to be tasted to be believed. 

Whether enjoying a quick lunch or picking up dinner for the family, Guzman y Gomez has the community covered with a menu that provides great value each time with freshly prepared classics such as burritos, bowls, nachos, tacos, and quesadillas with real Mexican flavor in every bite.

Guzman y Gomez’s restaurant design, like the menu itself, channels the lively Mexican 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. The high energy of the crew keeps the vibes going all day (and night) long.

Media are invited to the Grand Opening day of GYG Schaumburg on Jan 19 where Founder and CEO Steven Marks will be in attendance and would love to provide a tour of the restaurant, background on the business, and answer any further questions you may have.
