Crazy Gringo is hands down one of my favorite places to eat! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. Whether I'm stopping in for tacos, burritos, or chips and salsa, I've never been disappointed. If you're looking for great Mexican food with generous portions and excellent customer service, I highly recommend Crazy Gringo. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Great food, friendly staff and cozy! Not the best place to go if you are in a wheelchair.

Absolute a joke trying to call in an order. Had three items that I was trying to order that they claimed weren't on the menu. Was reading directly from their website. I've been ordering these items for years.... I guess no longer. read more

Food was tasteless and service was mediocre won't be back this was the 2nd time and both times food was bad

The food was excellent. the new menu item Mexican corn was delicious. The service was perfect. Jess my server was wonderful. She made me feel like a member of her family.Dawn the manager was spot on. She was helpful and caring in every way. The Ambiance is wonderful. It's the kind of restaurant that makes you forget about the worries and troubles of the day. I highly recommend this restaurant. Tell them Patrick Wolff sent you. read more

Well, Mike & I had a taste for Mexican food so we tried Crazy Gringo since we pass it all the time and didn't feel like driving to southwest Detroit. I wasn't too impressed by the food at all. The fish tacos weren't too bad after I added lemon juice and salsa. Prior to, they didn't have much flavor. The refried beans and rice weren't too flavorful either. However, once I added the hot sauce they were pretty decent. My margarita though was amazing! It was absolutely delicious. Mike enjoyed his tacos and they were cooked pretty well. And I must say, his food pretty much saved the rating. His margarita was decent he said. He feels that there was waaay too much sour in it as he couldn't finish it. The atmosphere.... Well.... It was pretty dead inside. You can overhear the workers cussing, laughing, which don't get me wrong, you should be able to have fun and laugh on the job... I'm all for that but should be mindful of speech while on the floor around customers. Also, when you take phone calls off the floor and it's a pretty heated discussion, go where no one can hear you. I don't want to hear you cussing and going off on the phone while at work. Take it outside or further in the back. The restaurant was pretty spotless though. I do applaud the cleanliness of the place. read more

Ordered off the lunch special menu. Portions were dinner sized. Shared a chimichanga and a crazy wet burrito both came with rice and beans- really good tasting. Complimentary chips and salsa- though salsa was quite bland. Outstanding service from Andrea. Super sized margarita- made to perfection. Found this place due to power outage in gross pointe - glad I did ! read more

We attended with a large group, and the wait staff was excellent! The credit card machines went down though and the solution was for us to travel to a nearby ATM. They had no cashapp, Venmo, PayPal, etc. We started with a Goomba of Tropical Storm Margarita each, which we should have shared. Chips and salsa which were decent chips and totally bland salsa. I mixed in what was a peppered salsa and that wasn't great either. My guest had the wet burrito and I had the combo with a beef taco on a corn tortilla, a chicken burrito and chicken enchilada. All 3 were bland. The shell on the taco was like an Ortega she'll from the grocery store.. Needed seasoning, guacamole, or jalapeños or something. I even added hot sauce. Again, great service until the glitch, but I won't be back most likely. read more

Came here last night with friends. It was about 6 when we got there and the dinner rush was just starting (it was a Saturday, so a tad early for the bar crowd...but there was a preseason lions game, so I think some were starting to show for that. Our server was very nice, and attentive all night with out hovering or being overbearing. Actually all the staff were really friendly. Menu is pretty standard Mexican. They also have a few non-mexican items (burger, etc) and do have kids selections. I got the wet burrito and it was huge. All portions seem pretty big. Good bang for the buck (the prices seem a bit high if you don't know that). And my burrito was pretty good. All I. All we had a great time. Two of my friend live nearby, and they are here often. I think I will be back soon. read more

2 Stars seems a bit harsh, 3 is definitely too much...2.5 is sufficient. Minuses- Don't get the House Margherita...it's just Margherita Mix and zero alcohol...I had the large one and, Lord help me, I did not get any inkling of any alcohol in my drink...not even a tingle in my parts...so $10 for a big glass of Margherita mix...I'll pass! - Chips are not house made..they're just regular tortilla chips...kinda bland.. -The salsa was just okay...I asked if they had a spicy salsa and they brought some weird brown shit in a little "to go" sauce container...I..I dunno..not good... Fair to Midland: Food tastes were okay...I had chicken fajitas and, it was decent...good chicken, rice and beans...eh...def nothing felt homemade, but it wasn't terrible...my fajitas tasted great for breakfast the next day Plusses: Service was friendly, the waitstaff and others seemed to be hustling on this rather busy Tuesday night.. You do get a lot of food for the price...I thought it was kinda pricey, but I had two meals basically... All in all...I'd probably not go back...Mexican isn't a true favorite of mine, so when I do go ..I want good stuff.. read more

Crazy Gringo Mexican Cantina - House Margherita...almost empty and not even a hint of alcohol...bummer... - Mexican Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

Lol where do I start? Gave this place another try after a mediocre lunch a year back. The 12 dollar queso is canned from gordon food service the chips were Jacks seasoned chips that were stale my girl had the tacos which had no flavor at all and i had 18 dollar wet steak burrito which was salty and cold on the inside but the outside was hot from melting the cheese in the oven. No flavor either. Salsa wasnt bad the hot tasted strange. So tired of wasting money on disapointing service and food. Prices were high which normally I dont care anout if the food is made with love and quality ingredients. Waiter Sebastian was very attentive and friendly. Place on harper in the shores same thing. Next time Ill hit taco bell or make the drive to southwest detroit. 40 dollars wasted. read more

I've been to Crazy Gringo a few times now. Their queso is excellent as well as their salsa and chips. The flavor of their taco meat for me is a little off. Portions are good. Waitresses are really nice. read more

Second time here, this time I decided to bring my family. Cheese enchiladas are really good and so are the refried beans. The rice didn't have any flavor and the salad was not worth ordering. I enjoyed my margarita and the extra shot they gave me lol but it wasn't blended properly . The soup was clearly sitting out all day, wasn't fresh at all. Cool little spot, nice staff. I'm going to try them again since I really liked the enchiladas and the service. read more

The food was not good. My seafood fajita was a couple shrimp, a giant breaded piece of some sort of fish (note that the menu doesn't mention what seafood is included), and who puts squash, zucchini, and broccoli in fajitas? Those weren't even listed on the menu, it just said standard onions and peppers. The steak bites were so dry I could only eat dipped in sauce. My fiancé's food was dry and falling apart. Ordered delivery, so can't comment on service. Woof. read more

The food was just ok. The service was pretty bad. I ordered the fajitas and they were average. I felt they were priced high for what I got. They kind of cheaped out on the toppings. Our waitress literally came back to the area and yelled off orders to find were they went. She didn't really remember what anyone ordered. She almost gave us someone else's food. The staff wasn't very friendly in general. Not sure if they were short staffed or what. I had heard good things, but was real disappointed with my experience. read more

The service is great here, good job to the waitresses and bartenders. I also love the atmosphere but the food is horrible, I can make better Mexican food at home with Kroger brand ingredients lol read more

Super good! We had huge surfer margaritas, pretty decent. We ordered one entree to share, the combo fajitas, was enough for two. My favorite item was the Mexican pizza with chorizo appetizer, it was memorable and something I will go back for. All in all a very creative take on texmex. Definitely will return for that app! read more

Stopped on a Saturday and we were immediately served. The bartender Caroline is amazing, great recommendations and phenomenal service. We started with the guacamole and chips and probably could have ate them all evening. Followed up with the Shrimp Fajitas and the Vegetarian Enchiladas, the food was amazing! Great flavor, cooked to perfection and large portions. We will definitely will be back to explore more of the menu! read more

An otherwise pleasant dining experience was completely ruined when our waitress came into the parking lot after we left interrogating us when we didn't leave a tip, saying "Was I doing bad service or something?" "So just because you don't have cash means I don't deserve a tip?" "I make $2/hr here" (1. I did not have cash on me at the time and that is the only way I feel comfortable leaving tips. 2. Her fast service was appreciated but was nothing worth tipping in my opinion. Tips should be EARNED, not a GIVEN. 3. I have worked in food service before [busser for 2 years] so I know how much waitresses make/can make from having conversations with them but I am in no position to be handing out money to just decent service [and before anyone says anything, just because I can go out to eat doesn't mean I am required to just give out extra money; see point 2]) Overall, food was 7/10 atmosphere: 7/10 service: originally 6/10, now -1/10 Would not dine again. read more

Zero stars. Ate here tonight and have been throwing up and in the toliet since 10 We found some foreign object in our guacamole I will Be calling health dept in the morning. read more

The meal came wit your choice of salad or chicken tortilla soup.. the soup is excellent!! My hubby got the wet burrito meal.. he loved it. He said the meat had alot flavor and both portions were large!! I RECOMMEND!!! read more

We're picking a different restaurant each time we're getting a carryout meal, and tonight we picked Crazy Gringo. Welve been there several times before, but in light of the pandemic and the very real chance of losing our favorite places, we're committed to eating 'out' at least twice a week. We needed to get away from the house and so ordered a trio of shrimp tacos and a grilled chicken quesadilla. The tacos came with rice, beans and choice of soup or salad (she opted for the soup, which was a-mazing). The chicken quesadilla is considered an appetizer but it was plenty for me! They threw in a generous helping of chips and salsa, and a free flan for dessert! Everything was hot and ready to come home with us, and the server brought it to our car. We told her about seeing the taco dinner special on their Facebook page, and she was thrilled to hear it, since posting it was her idea. If you want great Mexican food and you want it hot, fast and safe, call Crazy Gringo. They offer delivery, if you're not a carryout person, too. read more

Great place to eat and drink! Food was delicious, salsa was the best! Alissa was our server and she was incredibly attentive and accommodating! She was bubbly and friendly! Will definitely come here again! read more

Holy hell, this food was downright SAD. We had a wide variety of the menu via carryout. Now let's be honest- if you're getting food from a place with the word "gringo" in the name, you know you're not getting authentic Mexican food. Fine. We knew that. But this was easily the worst "Mexican food" I've had anywhere on this continent. And expensive. The chicken taco on a corn tortilla straight up dissolved in my hand. It would have been easier eating it with a spoon. Never in my life have I been unable to pick up a taco with one hand, let alone two. The chicken had no flavor and the lettuce was hot and soggy. $2.50 a la carte. The steak California burrito consisted of mostly canned refried beans. The steak had no seasoning, not even salt & pepper. No charring on the outside. Very mushy. I only ate more than one bite because of how expensive it was (more on that later). $12 dollars a la carte. The seafood "fajita" entree consisted of shrimp, where one might have been smothered in Old Bay, while another was devoid of seasoning altogether, and an inexplicably breaded frozen fish of some kind where the breading was mushy and falling off. All on top of a bed of grilled peppers and onions and... squash and zucchini and... broccoli? Okay, weird. It had to be eaten without tortillas because they were not well wrapped and covered in some sort of mystery grease that touched the inside of the bag and god knows what else in the kitchen. That was $20 dollars (not pesos, you gringo idiota). The side of refried beans (canned) and rice (grocery store-bought) weren't terrible. The seemingly fresh tortilla chips weren't terrible. The queso blanco wasn't terrible. To top it all off, this food was EXPENSIVE! $14 for a three taco entree with beans and rice sets lofty expectations. I've had 50 cent fast food tacos that were far less disappointing. The steak bites entree was $13 and came with almost a half a pound of disappointing steak niblets and a dollop of blue cheese(?) And soggy pita bread (?!) I'm not being mean, I'm just being honest. I would sincerely prefer to never leave such a scathing review, but in my opinion, this business could use improvement in every facet when speaking strictly in terms of the food. read more

Went here on a Friday night.. place was busy and we were sat in the back room. It was kind of odd this back room and co workers were using the back door in the room which was making the room cold. I ordered the enchiladas with red sauce.. came with the chili sauCe but I ate them anyway. They were good but the rice you could tell was old and microwaved. Kind of expensive here one meal and one margarita was $34.00. I would come back again just no rice and don't want to sit in back room. Oh by the way the chicken tortilla soup was very good never had it like that before. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a long time and it did not disappoint. We started out with the Con Queso dip and it was very good. Just the right amount of spice. My wife had the Chori Polo and I had the Carnitas. Both excellent!! We also had a Margarita and some beers. Overall great service and food. We can't wait to go back to try different things. read more

Great place with great food. Service is fantastic and food is fresh and authentic. We always get carne asada and chorri pollo. Drinks are great too, especially the margaritas. Love the fun atmosphere and great place to take the kids as well. read more

It took over 20 minutes to get seated and we ALREADY HAD RESERVATIONS. Took exactly One hour from the time we ordered to get our food which they screwed up. And or food was cold. Forgot our soup and we asked for corn tortillas with both of our meals and we both got flower tortillas. The owner, Tommy asked how it was we told him and his response was "oh well we had over 900 people here today we don't care about you" Worst business owner ever. Won't go back! Don't waste your time & $$ read more

Surprisingly good for suburban Mexican food. I asked for carnitas in my enchiladas and they didn't blink an eye! The margarita was superb, and the meal was all-around tasty. The staff was super attentive. The salsa needed a bit of oomph, but other than that it was perfect. read more

We always say we are going to try this Mexican restaurant and always forget, until tonight. I have to say we were less than impressed. The Tamales: ordered wet with red sauce and cheese, were dry and lacked flavor. Diced tomatoes were served in place of the descriptive pico de gallo listed on the menu. Cheese Enchiladas: the corn tortillas are mealy in consistency. Red sauce has no flavor. Spicy Enchiladas: same terrible red sauce and corn tortillas that lack consistency. Babacoa beef (spicy stewed beef) lacked flavor/seasoning , had that overcooked texture and a scorched flavor. Red sauce has no flavor what so ever. Dinners come with salad or chicken tortilla soup. I would pass on the soup. It tastes like over boiled canned vegetable soup with some hot sauce and maybe a few tablespoons of cream stirred in. Floating on top is some shredded cheese and tortilla strips. We did try the Queso Dip. It is white cheese mixed with some ground burger. If this was Chorizo we did not taste it! Not sure why they give flour shells?! The dip is so thin you can not put it into a tortilla. Beans and rice are nothing to write hone about. Salsa was okay . Would not recommend this restaurant. I understand with the name Crazy Gringo that one could not anticipate authentic Mexican ,however, I make better Mexican food at home. read more

So I'm hooked on their taco salad w/ black beans. They caramelize the onions in the salad and they pan fry the peppers. It's definitely a hit for me. Their spicy ranch is bomb . read more

One of my favorite Mexican spots. Friendly staff and great food. Do yourself a favor, order up their queso dip as an appetizer, you won't regret it. read more

Crazy Gringo Mexican Cantina - Delicious carne asada steak - Mexican Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

This place has okay food. Went there for Cinco De Mayo and got forced out onto the patio when there were NUMEROUS TABLES open, so we proceed to the patio and absolutely no one is out there, no music, no fun at all which is what we went there for because it normally is. But just a terrible experience. I'm not one to normally write reviews but when something needs to be said I'll say it! Never going to go there again.. THE OWNER NEVER EVEN ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG OR WHAT COULD BE FIXED! Owner was not concerned one bit... He needs to understand customer service... spent $100 there too. Very disappointed. read more

We (husband and I) were in the mood for Tex-Mex, so we decided to try out Crazy Gringo! I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so we gave it a shot. Overall, it was "okay." The highlight was the Chicken Tortilla Soup. The meat quality with our entrees was underwhelming; I ordered Zestie Enchilada with beef, and my husband ordered the California Burrito with steak. I expected slightly higher quality at their price point- but was not necessarily surprised either. Our server Angela was good, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was comfortable. We will not be visiting again because it is too expensive for the quality. read more

Want to start off by saying the service was great! No complaints there. Very attentive. The food was just so low quality it was very disappointing. And the prices were really high for the quality. The restaurant environment itself was nice - clean and decorated nicely. read more

El Charro was closed tonight so we ended up here. It's our 3 try and we'll never be back! Not one person was wearing a mask. (not even the employees) The hostess with the red hair gave us all the stink eye when we walked in with our masks on. We knew better not to get the house margaritas because it's just marg mix with no tequila. Even the people around us were sipping on it with questions if there was any alcohol in it at all. We ordered the top shelf marg and it was $17!!! Wtf!? Don't even get me started about the gross, bland, unsalted, flavorless food. We had 3 small meals and 2 margs and it was $100!!! Wtf!? I can't give zero stars but my one star is for our amazing waitress, Rachel. She was super informative, friendly and very plesent. Thanks for the great service! read more

Sam was our waitress and was an exceptional waitress. I ordered a shredded beef chimichanga with no red sauce and no rice. It was ok. The beef appeared to be pot roast. My husband got the lunch taco and burrito combo with no rice and said it was good. On the complimentary chips and salsa, make sure to mix mild, smoky and verde salsa together to prevent tasting like spaghetti sauce. When mixed it's pretty good. read more

Very, very average food. I'd say it's a step above Taco Bell, but it's a step (or two) below most other Mexican restaurants that I've been to in the area. Not a whole lot of flavor in anything that we tried. We ordered the wet burrito and a cheese quesadilla. The food was bland. That's really the only way that I know of how to describe it. Nothing at all of note. read more

We are at this resturant May 6, we really had a bad experience, when sat we were supplied chips and salsa. The salsa was bland and had very little taste. Majority of the chips were crushed. I had a margarita which was not bad but it's the food and service that were not up to par. The ranch dressing was watered down. Tortillas had stains on them, not sure what that the stains were but staff said it was from the grill, not really suppose to grill flour tortillas. Beans had a bad smell and were terrible, rice was dry and just ok. Wait staff just made excuses instead of offering more. I will not return. read more

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could, but we had a pretty good experience so I bumped it to 4. We wanted Mexican, but were so tired of the normal options (El Charro & Grand Azteca, which we LOVE both, but you can only have it so much before it all taste the same). Our server was really nice, and we were treated to Chips and Salsa right away. The regular Salsa.....was horrible. It tasted like...tomato and thats it. Our server said they also had 3 different salsas, my husband got the hot (it wasn't hot), but it was much better than the regular offering. With our meals we had a choice of soup or salad. I had the chicke tortilla and my husband had the poblano pepper and corn chowder. Both were really good, but the chowder was REALLY good! You didn't get a cup either, it was a hearty size bowl of soup. They had street tacos on special, so I had those. There were 2 steak, soft corn tortilla tacos, with cilantro and a lime wedge. It was great! The rice that came with it was also very good. It was cilantro lime rice. My husband had a burrito and the serving was HUGE. He enjoyed it. His meal came with beans and rice. His rice was more of a spanish rice. The cilantro lime rice was way better! The price was really reasonable. We had 2 dinners, 2 16oz beers, 1 20oz beer, and an order of sopipas and it was $38 and change! read more
