Burrito Beach, a long-time fast-casual favorite for fresh and quality fare, has opened its seventh location in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood near the intersection of North Avenue and Sheffield.
With existing outposts located in the loop, Streeterville, several of Chicago’s landmark transportation hubs and Northwestern Hospital, the group makes an exciting move post-pandemic with the expansion to its very first neighborhood location outside of downtown.
The new Lincoln Park outpost is located at 1000 W North Ave (D-102) near the intersection of North Avenue and Sheffield. The location operates daily from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.

A Long Time Chicago Icon
Established in Chicago in 1995, Burrito Beach has been successfully serving up its distinct style of toasted burrito, taco, nacho, quesadilla, and bowl creations packed with exceptional ingredients for 26 years. “Our arrival to the Lincoln Park neighborhood is a really exciting moment for our team,” says Burrito Beach founder and CEO Greg Schulson.
“We have always been committed to the idea that involvement in our community is just as important as serving our customers a downright delicious meal, so the chance to plant roots in such a special neighborhood means a lot. We look forward to getting to know area businesses and organizations, and all those who call the area home.”

An Exciting New Space
The 60-seat, 3,100 square-foot restaurant quietly opened its doors on November 3rd offering a dynamic menu that incorporates superior meats, fresh ingredients, speed-scratch cooking, bold flavors, and unique items, setting them apart from all other fast-casual brands of its kind. Passionate about food and obsessive about quality, Burrito Beach offers something for everyone with a distinct menu of made-to-order creations, customizable to each guest’s taste. The bright and light interior offers an upscale-casual vibe that compliments the neighborhood. Vibrant interior murals art-directed by Chicago street artist Sergio Farfan, who also contributed his talent to one of the designs, stand out as the centerpieces of the lively dining room.
“We’re excited to introduce residents to what we do and feel confident that we’ll quickly become a go-to spot for everyone from students and people working in the area to families. Exceptional food and a fun environment are things that bring everyone in the community together.”
