    Regular sized chicken burrito bowl. Pretty small for the price and the flavor is blah.
    Nicole L.

    I was so excited to finally try this place because I had heard good things. Spoiler alert - it sucks! Honestly, this place makes my blood boil and it's been a few days since my experience. First off, I downloaded their app to my iPhone and no matter how many times I tried to use the free burrito introductory offer, it wouldn't let me. It kept saying "not available on this device". Not only that, but if you exit the menu/ordering screen (which I did to check for the free burrito since I couldn't figure out at first where it was supposed to appear) it deletes everything from your "cart" and you have to rebuild your order from scratch. I decided to order inside instead. Upon entering I thought it looked nice and inviting. I like how they have a bar area to grab condiments, such as different hot sauces, which have lids for to go orders. That's where the compliments end... I figured I could show my rewards barcode to the cashier since the app indicated the free burrito was in there, but she told me it could only be used in the app. When I explained the issue I was having in the app, she just shrugged and said she's not that familiar with that. So my husband, who has an Android phone, downloaded the app and had no issues getting the free burrito offer. I guess the app doesn't like iPhone users? I don't know, but it certainly felt that way. I mention the above because I should have heeded the universe's warning not to bother with this place. My husband got the beef brisket burrito. Not only were there only 2-3 pieces of fatty, flavorless, chewy meat inside, the size of the meat was too big for a burrito. Imagine biting into a burrito and pulling out a large chunk of meat with your teeth. Not only that, but the pickled jalapeno he requested was only at the tail end of the burrito. It's a real pet peeve of mine is when the fillings of a burrito aren't distributed evenly throughout. The point of a burrito is to get a taste of everything in a single bite, not to have a different flavor experience as you work your way through it. Shame on this place for prioritizing speed over accuracy and haphazardly putting together a burrito, that if the shoe was on the other foot, they wouldn't want to eat themselves. As for the chicken burrito bowl, see my photo - it is NOT the mini size, which I almost ordered. I was able to eat the entire thing in one sitting. That was never the case when I used to get Chipotle. Much like my husband's burrito, there were only a few pieces of chicken and none of them were bite-sized. Why wouldn't they make the chicken pieces smaller? Not only does it make the bowl easier to eat, but it appears you're giving people more food that way. There was hardly any Pico de gallo in the bowl, and even though it claimed to come with tomatillo sauce, it didn't seem to have any in it. The lettuce was just a few large chunks that tasted like dirt. I cannot reiterate enough that the way they construct burritos and burrito bowls here is incredibly STUPID. Has no one who works here ever eaten one??? And why are the portion sizes so small? The chips and guacamole were ok. I personally don't care for tomato in my guacamole, so I've had better. The chips were just ok, and once again, the portion size was small compared to other restaurants. Honestly, I don't get the hype. My husband and I promptly deleted their app from our phones and will never eat at a Guzman y Gomez again.

    I stopped by here for lunch since I work down the street and I think chipotle is a better deal. The quality is about the same and the food is fairly average. However, the quantities they give are smaller. It's not as filling as chipotle. The tacos tasted good. Nothing out of the ordinary but they definitely skimped on the meat. Same goes for the burrito bowl I tried.

    The two dollar tacos are amazing. The shell season really well. I also got the chips and guac and everything is fresh. The servers were more than glad to help me even though it was my first time there and I didn't know what I

    Guzman y Gomez is a solid fast casual Mexican restaurant that leans slightly American, but still sticks to its culinary roots. If you're looking for a burrito, bowl, tacos, with some Corona and margaritas, you can get that here! I like dining in as seats and tables are plentiful. The interior design is varied and is insta-worthy. Sides include fries which you can top with queso. Churros here are decent, but you have to pay extra for chocolate and caramel sauces. Guzman y Gomez doesn't break the bank, and I prefer it to more expensive places that have a 1 hour wait. Whether it's to go or dining in, you can't go wrong.

Nothing exceptional, nothing disappointing. Quality (B+) The food was not great and it was not bad. I got the steak fajitas and was disappointed with the lack of steak and small portion size. For the amount I paid I was expecting more. Will post pic and you can decide. The family got a mix of tacos. The kiddos like the beef tacos and my wife got a few veggie ones. They liked them but nothing memorable. We were not super hungry and went for an early dinner since it was a school night but finished all the food. I did enjoy the chips and salsa and I liked the beans. I wouldn't go back specifically for them but I would enjoy if I ever go again. Value (B) It was around $100 out the door for 4 people which I thought was a bit expensive. We did get a dessert but no appetizers. It feels like a soulless Mexican concept in downtown Naperville. Yes all the staff is trained and yes the food is not bad. But nothing memorable, just checking the boxes. I probably won't go again but won't object if we decide to go. You won't be impressed but you probably won't be disappointed. There are so many other places I can think of to go for Mexican over this place. If it was cheaper it would be nice - but it is priced too high for the quality and quantity of food. If you have never had Mexican food - this would be a good starter restaurant

    Looooove this place!! If you are looking for a hole in the wall, no frills, authentic Mexican…read morerestaurant...then this is not the place for you. Quiubo has fantastic margaritas (some of the best I've ever had) and cocktails. No artificial flavors or syrups are used so they're fresh and delicious every single time. They don't use margarita glasses, which I prefer, since places that do use them typically have bad and overly citrusy/sweet margs. Their bartending staff is limited since the bar space is a little small so drinks can take a while but it doesn't bother me since the drinks are amazing and worth the wait in my opinion. The food is pricey and the portions small, but this is a fancier/gourmet Mexican restaurant. You're paying for the quality ingredients. Aside from the price, the food itself is really good. Even though this place has "fancier" Mexican food, all of it is authentic and delicious. But, like I mentioned earlier, if you want no frills Mexican food, this is not the place for you. I come here at least once a month and am never disappointed! Pricing is on par with Chicago restaurants of this caliber which is the trend Naperville is heading towards so take that into consideration if you're trying to find somewhere cheap to eat.

I got the pastor tacos, esquites and the fresona. The fresona was pretty tasty, my date said it was a bit strong, I personally thought it was fine. The esquites were pretty tasty as well but a tad bit salty. The pastor tacos were also pretty good but I was kinda let down, usually pastor tacos are made with a fatty pork meat not ground pork. Also the meat mixture had a similar texture to chili, which was weird. However, they still tasted good. My date enjoyed his food and while it was pretty good it wasn't anything to rave about 3.75/5.

We did get the skirt steak and branzino. The skirt steak was a little bit overcooked to my liking. The Branzino was perfectly cooked and crispy but the portion was small..

The cocktails were just as good as the food, which says a lot. You can tell there's real attention to detail across the whole menu. On top of that, the space itself is beautiful. Really unique interior, great atmosphere, and an awesome view right over the river that makes the whole experience feel even more special. It's rare to go somewhere where the food, drinks, and atmosphere all hit this level. Santa Cielo absolutely delivered.
