    We visited this place three times. One time dining in was okay, but both takeout orders were completely cold, even though we picked them up ourselves and live only 10 minutes away. The portions were very small, the food tasted like it was made from leftovers. Last night we got food poisoning. The chicken in the tacos tasted old. My son was vomiting all night, and I had nausea and digestive issues. Nice-looking place, but the food quality is terrible. Do not recommend.

    Always feel great after getting food at GYG Crystal Lake and eating before going to the Vasa fitness gym down the road from it.

    I just came today to get some lunch quickly. Went through their drive thru and got a bowl. They forgot a fork and when I went through AGAIN, they had me waiting for over 5 minutes at the second window for just a fork. Small quantities for the food as well

    Let me start this review by recognizing one of their employee in their Crystal Lake location DALILA. She was very nice and pleasant. made us feel welcome The food was 9 out of 10 , the Guacamole and chips are the best in all Chicago land area. prices are fair. I was pleasantly surprised by the good flavors of the food and the decor is so trendy. Very clean and family oriented. I highly recommend this place Way better than Chipotle. Keep up the good work.

    I love the atmosphere of this place. It just feels so calm and it’s very clean. Seth, an employee, was very patient with our order and answered all the questions we had. Food wise, I really enjoyed the fries and seasoning on it. I do think there was a bit much though on mine. Sauces were very good. What I enjoyed most was the enchilada burrito. Wow. I’m telling, it was amazing. Yes it gets messy. Yes it is thick. It hits all the requirements a burrito should have. But what stood out as my favorite aspect of the burrito was surprisingly the tortilla if the burrito. It was just so perfect and soft. 👏
