Guzman y Gomez US Closures Prove America Has No Taste for Overpriced Burritos, Common Sense Says
Well, call me shocked, but not surprised—Guzman y Gomez is officially closing multiple US locations, and honestly, this is what happens when you try to sell a $15 burrito to people who know a good taco spot on the corner. I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 25 years, and I can tell you common sense says you don’t bring a fancy “fast-casual” chain with cold rice and skimpy portions to a city that invented real Mexican food. I saw the lines dwindle last month near the downtown spot—everyone with half a brain knew it was overpriced guacamole and bland chicken. Maybe if they focused on actual flavor and fair pricing instead of corporate hype, we wouldn’t be reading about yet another closure. Good riddance.
