And wow, I haven't seen such a big, festive, and popular fast food restaurant grand opening in a long time. The last fast food grand opening that I witnessed that was as big and popular and created such a fuss might have been either a Naf Naf or a Chick Fil-A grand opening many years ago in Naperville. This was quite a bash that Guzman y Gomez conducted on their grand opening today. The crowd, including ourselves, were attracted by the $5 deal on burritos and burrito bowls. We came in at about 4:45pm and there were police directing traffic, advertising sign holders standing along busy Mannheim Rd, a 3-man band playing at the entrance, and also a modest queue to enter and order. The place was hopping and it was festive for sure. I was told GYG does this at all of the grand openings for their stores, and that's cool! Well, we ordered a carryout burrito with beef brisket and pinto beans and also a burrito bowl with flank steak and pinto beans. Even with so many customers, we still had only a 10 minute wait for the food prep. The burrito and burrito bowl were tip-top fresh and delicious and at $5 were 40% off of their regular $8.30 price. There were a ton of employees all busy and looking coordinated and GYG did a good job being prepared for the all day crush today. Their store is big and bright, and has a patio section as well as a drive thru. Congratulations on a very successful grand opening day and welcome to Des Plaines!

Many of them are limp rather than crispy, and the oiliness is very noticeable, making them look soggy instead of crunchy.

Employees were short and not really "welcoming" but it was near closing time but that should have no difference to the experience for the customer.

I called in and ordered a gyros combo over the phone and the employee was like "okay a number ten, anything else?" I replied no and was at the restaurant in 10 minutes. I get there and the menu says the # 10 is a chicken breast sandwich ‍. So I go to the cashier and make sure theyre making a gyros, which they werent. But the kids were really chill about it and started to make the gyros instantly when they realized thats what I wanted. A greek gyro is unlike any other. Thin strips, perfectly placed into the pita. Sauce was over all the strips not just the top. Fries looked to be the frozen kind(still fried perfectly tho) but they complemented the sandwich just right. All in all, great place and the restaurant itself was SUPER clean. I would just recommend not to repeat the combo # to customer to confirm what they want since some people may not know the difference between a #1 and a #10. Either way I recommend.

Within a minute, he was double checking the order against what had been packed, reading it off to me. Everything was well packed so the gyros pita was on a plate, covered with tinfoil, so it was still warm when I got home. The fries were in a paper bag so they didn't get soggy. And the baklava was in a separate plastic clamshell. The fries were perfect - crispy outside and fluffy inside. Not very salty which worked well with the flavorful gyros so I didn't need to add any salt. The pita was warm and soft. The gyros are the best I've had at this kind of fast food place. A touch greasier than sit down places like Pistaria, but not as greasy as I'd expected. Nicely browned and perfectly seasoned. The onions were crunchy and fresh. Tomatoes - well, I'm picky about tomatoes and tend to only like them in August when they're in season. These were fresh but mealy. It's that time of year and hard to fault Nicks for that. Baklava was a huge piece for the price and shockingly moist. It didn't taste exactly as I expected. A little softer than the flaky perfection I've had elsewhere. Probably not made fresh that day although somehow still quite moist. Lots of honey flavor but I wonder if some other sugar might have been mixed with the honey ? Or maybe just not as fresh. If you have a hankering for baklava, this would work. But otherwise I'd skip it and stick to the fries and gyros.
