If you would like to avoid the rush on Sundays, stop before 11 AM. We arrived at 11AM. They gave us a timer & we waited at the bar. 15 minute wait took only a few minutes. If you are unsure what to order, try out their brunch. My favorite is pozole Verde. It is chicken and it does give you a slight kick in taste. If you are searching for less spice try the carnitas (pork). Their eggs are also relatively calm and easy to handle. I really also enjoy their coffee, café de olla. It is served with an authentic pottery mug. Their soup bowls are also in this same style. Arroz con leche ( creamy rice pudding with cinnamon) is very good. I also love their cute small pasty that looks like a funnel and taste like bunuelos (sweet crunchy rice cake with cinnamon). Great ambience and it feels like you are in a festive place.

The festive background music added to the atmosphere and was set at a comfortable volume. We were initially served cold beans, but the issue was resolved quickly and professionally. I ordered the traditional chicken fajitas with refried beans, rice, guacamole, and pico -- the guac was especially good. This was my husband's first visit, and he enjoyed the classic chimichanga enough to say he'd order it again. The margarita was refreshing and rounded out the meal nicely.

Don't forget the gratis soft serve ice cream, chocolate, vanilla or swirl...the swirl was very good. Love their two sauces and chips.

Great Mexican restaurant!…read more We ordered the el molcajete, port carnitas tacos and steak and shrimp with a couple of margaritas and I have to say , I was very very pleased with our meals. Since moving here to Texas it has been quite difficult to find a restaurant that serves meals outside of Tex Mex . Something told us to explore the area a bit more and thankfully we did ! El fogon has been one of the most authentic Mexican restaurant we've had so far. In the month of May, my husband and I have ate here twice and every plate that we've ordered have been incredibly delicious. The meats are very tender & seasoned extremely well. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for dishes outside of the typical Tex mex. The menu has so many options and everything looks and smells so good. Their margaritas are made very well which is a bonus! I appreciate the assortment of seating (booths , patio ,tables & bar top ). I loved the decor and cleanliness. Our service each time has been top tier. The staff is friendly , fast and accommodating. Based on our experience both times, we are definitely returning and encouraging friends to try. I am ready to return already. Yum !

The hostess warmly greeted my partner and me as we entered the restaurant. Our server was very…read morepolite too. My partner and I were served warm chips and mild spicy dip while we browsed through their extensive menu. Some of the chips were red or green in color, probably to represent Mexico's country colors. The dip was addictively spicy. Loved the chips and dip. I got the Pulpo A La Parrilla as my main dish. The portion was huge and everything on the dish tasted good. The grilled octopus was cooked well and tasted delicious with the sauce on it. My partner had the crispy tacos with ground beef, and he liked it. Interior is decorated beautifully with Mexican theme. The restaurant is big, which is suitable for all party sizes. There is plenty of free parking available.

Parking: ample, could do with better lighting especially away from the building Ambience: Rustic look, clean Service: order at the counter and food gets delivered to your table. Food: Burgers are filling, taste good with well seasoned beef patty that is juicy. I love the burger with Jalapeño. Fries are ample and complement the burgers well. Have not tried their other offerings- have not been able to break away from burgers. Hint: have the burger at the restaurant, take out does not do it justice

Literally large chips with cold refried beans on in and Half a cheese melted in it. It was gross. Mushroom burger with not much mushrooms and 3 other burgers friends ordered.

However, the purpose for my excellent recognition of the Pearland Gringo's Restaurant location is because of the generous compassion the staff showed to help me and my family get my husband life-saving help! The person, Mr. Sony, who was working the door, immediately showed incredibly quick thinking to keep the situation calm and to quickly get the ambulance workers over to assist. He did this while showing great professionalism and compassion. The staff love did not stop there. I also want to recognize the store manager, Ms. Alecia, for her going above and beyond as well. The next day, she called me to see how my husband was doing. To me, this was her showing her nature of grace and concern for customers, whom she has never met before! To receive her call brought tears to my eyes. My husband did spend overnight at the hospital and is doing well! I would like to thank both Mr. Sony and Ms. Alecia and my family for going above and beyond to help him and me! Finally, I can not thank Gringo's Restaurant, Mr. Sony, and Ms. Alecia enough for stepping up and for their handling my scary situation with such grace, compassion and their desire to go far beyond their normal duties. Mr. Sony and Ms. Alecia, you are my heroes! Regards, Gwendolyn Butler
