El Famous plans to reopen in Summit

No date set, but owner’s daughter confirms return

By Bob Bong and Steve Metsch

El Famous Burrito plans to remodel and reopen its original site on Archer Road in Summit, which remains closed after an early morning fire Oct. 6.
The daughter of the owner, Benny Sagredo, confirmed the plan to re-open.
“I can’t give you an exact date. We’re still working with the insurance company, but we do hope, yes, to re-open the restaurant. We’re just not sure when that will be,” Isabel Sagredo said in a phone interview Friday.
She said the family has been contacted by many loyal customers who are sorry to hear about the fire.

Summit firefighters responded to a call of a fire about 6 a.m. Oct. 6 in an apartment above the restaurant at 6519 S. Archer Road.

A family of five escaped from the apartment and no injuries were reported.

“The Summit Fire Department arrived on the scene quickly,” Deputy Fire Chief Frank Batura said. “It took about 30 minutes for the fire to be controlled.”

A female resident said she was living there with her mother and three children. She said she worked at the restaurant.

The woman said the fire was caused by an electrical outlet.

“The fire is still under investigation,” Batura said refusing to speculate as to the exact cause.

There was extensive fire and smoke damage to the apartment. There was also significant damage to the restaurant.

“Most of that damage was caused by the water used to extinguish the fire,” Batura said.

El Famous did not respond to an email for comment, but a handwritten sign taped to the building said the restaurant would be remodeled. The sign also said owners hope to reopen the burrito joint within a few weeks.

The restaurant chain has 11 other locations including Tinley Park and Orland Park in the southern suburbs.
