Guzman Y Gomez, a fast-casual Mexican franchise, will open a new location in Naperville later this year.

The restaurant will be located at 844 S. Route 59 in Naperville.

According to a news release, Guzman Y Gomez offers real, freshly cooked Mexican-inspired food made to order - including flame-grilled proteins, fully customizable “build your own” burritos, tacos and bowls.

With more than 270 locations worldwide and eight in the Chicagoland area including Naperville, Schaumburg, Crystal Lake, Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Evanston, Des Plaines and Bucktown, Guzman Y Gomez has become a global favorite for its bold flavors, real ingredients and fast service, according to the release.
