    Seating area near bar

    Walked in and they were busy. Self seated and within 1 minute of sitting down a server came to apologize for them not seating us and asked for drink order. I ordered chorizo y huevo and was hoping for fresh homemade tortillas. I did order an extra egg on the side. The food came out pretty quick and there was a good amount of food and fresh homemade tortillas topped it off. I had a Mexican Coke and water along with my meal. The manager came out to check each table 3 times while we were eating which felt appreciated. Hope I can go back in the next few months.

    The service was friendly and the food was great! We did have to wait a bit for service but they were friendly. We enjoyed our meals and loved their queso!

    First time coming here with a friend and everything was great. I believe this is their new location. The service was quick, they brought out our drinks along with chips and salsa. I love hot salsa instead of cold and this was on point. I could have eaten salsa and chips only because it was that good. Large well lit parking lot and nice size restaurant. Clean and colorful decor. They sell liquor but we missed happy hour. We ordered chicken enchiladas and flautas and I tried the tripa taco which was good but could have used more cilantro and onion. It came in two tortillas. Enchiladas were good as well with plenty of shredded chicken and cheese. The beans were good too. The flautas were good and plentiful. I would come back here again if in the area.

    Best combo by far fajitas beef and chicken! Plus the perk for start tequila Bloody Mary!

    If mediocre food and mediocre service appeal to you then by all means rush to this place. I won't return.

    Amazing service, combined with awesomely priced and delish food perfectly describes Gringo's…read moreMexican kitchen. Piping hot fresh food with some of the best margaritas in town! Do yourself a favor and try Gringo's!

    A coworker and I swung by this TexMex restaurant for lunch recently. It had been several years…read moresince I'd been to Gringos, but I remember it being solid TexMex. We had a lovely time, and I was quickly reminded that this isn't jus one of the many TexMex spots it's the Houston area, but it's one of the better ones The restaurant is appealing and inviting from the outside. There's plenty of parking, a to-go station, covered patio seating, and plenty of seating inside The staff were great. We were greeted upon arrival and promptly sat at a table of our choosing. It wasn't completely packed, but much of the restaurant was full, yet we still had our pick of booth vs table vs bar etc We were provided complimentary chips and salsa. Both salsas are great, but the green one is creamy, packs a little heat, and is just delicious The menu offers pretty much all your signature TexMex meals from tacos, burritos, fajitas. Bowls, enchiladas, salads, soups, and many many more. There is a fully stocked bar with all sorts of beer and other drink options The food was terrific, and the display was exceptional. Everything was plated so well, and there were little touches here and there that showed they set they bar just a little higher Some tips: Join the Gringos TexMex insider club/reward loyalty program. You can earn points as you eat. You also get a bonus $25 added to your account when signing up I got the combo fajita tacos, which were solid, but I think I preferred the chicken fajitas way more than the beef Cheers!!

    Pat is doing it right!!! Service was outstanding from start to finish. I came in around 6:30 PM,…read moreand even though the parking lot was packed, I was seated immediately. The beer was ice cold, and the Don Julio was served the right way--not in a shot glass (if you know, you know). My food came out quickly, and the street tacos were packed with flavor. What really set this place apart was the hospitality. Before I left, the manager/owner insisted I try the tres leches and made sure it wasn't added to my bill. That kind of genuine customer service is hard to find these days. Top-notch food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try--you won't be disappointed!

    Note to self: try something other than Tex-Mex. I realized…read morelast week that we eat a lot of Tex-Mex. Still, this place was new (to us) although my daughter, who lives in Seabrook has been here and recommended it as a nice lunch place to meet. They weren't too busy at 11:30 AM on a Tuesday. We were immediately seated, and a few minutes later had chips and warm salsa. I warm salsa. I ordered the lunch Jones Classic, Mike ordered the Texas Trifecta, and my daughter ordered beef enchiladas. The taco on my plate was huge! I opted for the cilantro rice and it was very tasty. One of Mike's enchiladas was a bit greasy. My daughter loved her enchiladas. This was a nice lunch, and the service was good. I'm sure we'll be back!
