It's like a great food truck in Austin, but it's a building in Ogdensburg, New York. I do think this place would be popular in Austin (if they had corn tortillas.) We had sweet potato bean cakes that were good enough that we'll try to recreate them at home in Texas. Everything we tried was delicious. The pretty lady at the window was entertaining to chat with too, and gave us a great suggestion for where to sit and eat. read more

Home made, Mexican food. The menu has specials and the food is SO good. They are the real deal. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is where you want to go. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food is always delicious and fresh. The staff is friendly and helpful. We love their food!! The Thursday pork enchilada special is a favorite and you can never go wrong with their chips and queso! read more

I have eaten here at least a half dozen times since I have worked in this area of the state. They have excellent Mexican food.

Wife and I stopped in here while staying overnight. Food was very good and reasonably priced! We took it back to our hotel to enjoy it there! I would recommend this! read more

Always fast, efficient, polite and of course delicious!!! Love the chicken enchiladas and taco salad

I thought the service was good, it was like a order at the window and they bring it to your car deal. I had the Marley burrito which is hot and well constructed. Black beans and rice were excellent well seasoned. The jerk chicken was a little too much allspice for me. But nicely seasoned and nicely charred. The salsa is an interesting chunky style, like pace picante in texture. It was well seasoned but a significant departure from that classic Mexican American restaurant salsa. I am told that there Carnitas and cheese sauce or not to be missed... Several people at work also mentioned the corn salad... So I'll be making another visit for sure read more

Excellent Mexican food with a great atmosphere. The people are always very friendly.

Okay tacos, terrible chimichangas. Don't ever compare their burritos to Taco Bell because the owner will get really angry

Unfortunately during Covid I was not able to go inside. However the window service was very good and my dirty gringo burrito was something I would highly recommend. If I'm ever back in this area I will certainly be returning to the restaurant to try some other menu items read more

RUDE!!!!!!! We waited over an hour and a half and never received our food. The kid that took my order was beyond rude and argued with me and when I asked to speak the owner he at first refused and then when he finally did speak to the owner I could hear here screaming "I'm too fucking busy to talk to him, I don't care". I then asked for a refund and the kid at the counter (teenage boy) continued to banter and was even still yelling rudely at me as I got in my truck to leave. I will never take my wife and kids there EVER AGAIN and I suggest you avoid this rude establishment at all costs and I plan on letting everyone I know hear about how poorly I was treated. read more

Were visiting family in Oct. Couldn't believe the 'burg had Mexican food. My son thinks of that Dirty Gringo burrito all the time.

My family and I were in Ogdensburg picking up a package at the UPS store, as so many Canadians from the Ottawa area do on a Saturday, when we decided to try the Dirty Gringo for lunch. We're so glad we did. The food is excellent and the staff is super friendly. My daughter and I had the Marley jerk chicken burrito which was outstanding...an excellent combination of flavors and very freshly prepared. These things are huge, so go with a big appetite. My son had the dirty nachos which you can customize any way you like. These were some of the best nachos he's ever had, and the order was huge - possibly best shared between two people. My wife had the buffalo chicken quesadilla, which she enjoyed very much. All in all we raved about our meals, and for $40, we had an excellent family lunch. We will be back. Just note that original business info was incorrect and said it was not open Friday and Saturday - IT IS. What restaurant wouldn't be? I told the owner, I'd post an update. Check this place out. You'll be glad you did. read more

I had 'The Dirty Gringo', which is basically their 'everything buy the kitchen sink' burrito. It was the second time I've eaten it, and as crazy as it sounds, it requires multiple samplings to really appreciate what you're working with here. The two fried eggs and Chorizo threw me off the first time, they were delicious the second time. Everything about the restaurant is pretty ordinary, but that's not really a bad thing. Its not as tacky as Little Italy (an itialian place in town), it is clean, you get your food pretty quickly, and you get the impression that the employees really care about the place, and are trying to make something significant here. It shows in the food and the way they relate to the customers. Its a little pricey, but you get a solid non-fast-food meal for under $10, drink included, and you're supporting a legitimate local business. Win-win. read more

Wow! This is some of the best Mexican food that I have ever had. This is NOT the same O'l Mexican dishes. Unique flavors and high quality food at a very fair price. Thursdays special enchiladas, are worth a 1500 mile trip(from Florida). I'm here in the Burg for a week, will probably eat here 3-4 more times. This place is a must! read more

We ate here and had the fish tacos- they were very good. Great homemade salsas and a selection- it was a plus Downsize is it is a dump and a small no waiter service place- no beer or wine... If you want a quick cheap bite go here. .seems like visiting a cafeteria. Had to tell the staff to turn down the cheap portable stereo they had blasting out in the dining room. read more

Just ate at the Dirty Gringo again. Had the Mexican pizza tonight. It was excellent. There food is always fresh and very tasty. Service is always fast and friendly. The pizza must be like 15 inches in diameter and is more than enough for 1 person to eat. The crust is very thin and crispy. If you are in to Mexican food you should definitely give the Dirty Gringo a try. I have eaten there a number of times and had different dishes and I liked all of them very much. I have nothing personal to do with this restaurant, just like good food. read more

Had a great experience. The burrito bowl was delicious. We also got the pineapple salsa. Let's just say I will kill for it. Quick service and very nice people. Enjoy! read more

What a great place to have Mexican good. We had chicken & shrimp enchilada, streak quesadilla. Good food ! Great service . Will come again when in town. read more

I just finished filling my tummy with Cajun Shrimp Tacos! They have the perfect combo of delicious shrimp (no skimping here!), greens, queso blanco, pickled onions (YUM!) and tomato. It is one of my Dirty Gringo favorites; I also die for The Marley, a burrito filled with works and Jamaican Jerk Chicken! You can't go wrong! So much taste fir your dining dollars! read more

Food is good unique and reasonably priced. I tried their signature meal the dirty gringo and it was great. Dining inside and outside picnic tables are available for nice days. Icecream afterwards is an option. read more

Dirty Gringo - a sign for a mexican restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Ogdensburg, New York

We tried this spot out yesterday and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We ordered the Dirty Gringo nachos with beef to share. The nachos came just smothered in vegetables, salsa and sour cream and looked really good. Once we started to indulge in them we realized that they were much more tasty than we expected. Both my wife and I thought the presentation was excellent and the service was also excellent. This is a great spot for a casually meal and we will be back to try other menu items. We liked the prices too. You should really try this restaurant. read more

Very good Mexican food along with ice cream! We order there very often and very consistent food prepared to each order!

Probably wont be ordering from the dirty gringo again. I ordered chips with my kids quesadillas and none of them got chips. Got myself a loaded quesadilla with cajun shrimp and it was just cheese and shrimp. Not very pleased and charged me 13 dollars for shrimp and cheese?! What of that is loaded? Ugh read more

The homemade sauce - made my dinner more delicious!!!! Gotta try the sauce! Pineapple haberno salsa was good. Had 3 tacos with homemade sauce Friendly staff. Very helpful with choice of food. read more

Take out order during pandemic.... Service was excellent. Tacos (3 chorizzo and 2 chicken) were good. The balsamic chicken quesadilla was tasty and huge! A great lunch! read more

My favorite lunch spot in the north country! Their signature burrito "the dirty gringo" is definitely worth trying, I didn't think a runny egg on a burrito would work but it just does. If your meal comes with a side I recommend the refried dirty beans. It seems like they put a lot of thought in to their specials. I've never had a meal here that I wasn't happy with! read more

Stopped in on our way back to Canada and were not disappointed - the pork carnitas enchiladas were juicy and delicious, portions were huge and the burrito was packed full. The queso was the best I've ever had, and the service was friendly and fast. Definitely check them out! read more

It may be the best in the North Country, but don't get the nachos. Not sure what that cheese is, but it's not appealing. The tacos are good and their Pico de Gallo is good, but they overcharge for a very small container of it - not included with your meal like most Mexican restaurants. I can't get the burritos because of gluten, but my kids rate them as "just okay." AND, this place is really expensive; more expensive than my favorite NYC Mexican joint which is on the same level...not super fancy. I was pretty surprised at the prices. Definitely not worth it. read more

For sitting right on the US/Canadian border I was not expecting to find a great Mexican restaurant. And then I found Dirty Gringo. It is a nice little, order at the counter and they bring it out to you establishment. It was a little out of the way, but once I found it, well... I got the namesake, the Dirty Gringo. This is a burrito with two seasoned fried eggs, refried beans (on mine, you could get black beans), Chorizo, Jalapeño Bacon and Cheese. This was excellent with there medium heat sauce. I played it safe on the first trip My brother decided to go adventurous and get the Greek Tacos. Yup, a mash up between Greece and Mexico. Feta Cheese, olives, balsamic glaze olives and lamb(?). Think a Gyro on a soft Taco. My Parents, whose taste buds aren't as used to the hot stuff got the Steak Quesadilla which they loved. This is worth tracking down if you are in the area!. read more

One of our go tos for food. Excellent service and delicious meals at seriously reasonable prices. The specials and the regular menus always leave you with some awesome options. My favorite is the chili chicken tacos, nachos, fish tacos and the marley. Jalapeño bacon is available, how could you go wrong here? The owners are very flexible with my dietary needs and that is so much appreciated! Love The Gringo! read more

I waited on the phone for 30 minutes to place an order for delivery. As employees were talking in the background having a conversation and laughing. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!! read more

The delivery man was so incredibly rude to not only myself but my co-workers. He basically accused me of lying bc he said I was paged and I was never paged. He said I made him wait . I am in a nursing facility and I do not have the ability to stop patient care to collect from a delivery. Lost my business. read more

Great place to go for tasty Mexican cuisine at an affordable price. We've tried their tacos, quesidillas, and a variety of other menu items. The staff is very friendly too. The last time I visted the woman at the counter offered my daughter a free brownie. read more

The best Mexican place in The North Country! You can taste how fresh the ingredients are and I love how every sauce and salsa is made in house. The Marley is to die for and is so addicting, I also love the blackened shrimp quesadilla. Great prices for great quality food read more

I go to Ogdensburg about once a month to pick up packages at the UPS Store. Usually my go-to for food was the local McDonalds or Subway. I decided to switch it up and checked Urbanspoon to see what local restaurants Ogdensburg has to offer. I came across Dirty Gringo and since I love Mexican food, decided to give it a try. Oh boy, am I glad I did. I've been there a few times now and they have never disappointed. Food is fresh, very tasty, portions are big and the price is right. What more could one ask for?! I recommend the Fish tacos if going on a Friday and if you're in a brunch mood, the Dirty Gringo Burrito (beware, its huge!) I wish this place was in Ottawa.. Mean it when I say it's my favourite mexican in the region so definitely check it out! read more

Delicious! My chorizo burrito was amazing. Service was lightning fast, and the staff was super nice. For being a neighbor to Canada, I sure felt like I was eating some place much closer to Mexico. read more

Love this place! The food is great, it's inexpensive and whenever the boys are home from the university, they want to go. I highly recommend it. We drive a half an hour to go and it is worth the drive. read more

The best Mexican I have ever had outside of Mexico. So very fresh! And the dessert is incredible! I would highly recommend this restaurant read more

Great find - fantastic Mexican in Ogdenburg who would of thought. Guacamole was fresh made to order. Quesadilla special was perfectly made. Burritos were huge and also made to order. Dirty nachos large and once again made to order with fresh ingredients. Counter service but very friendly staff. read more
