"Tacos are like a hug in a tortilla." We were in the mood for tacos and Gringos and Mariachas seemed like a great choice. I have had 2 successful and delicious 5 star meals at this location. Both times prior to this time, we ate inside the restaurant. Unfortunately, take out orders don't seem to get the same care and attention. First, let me say the food was very good. But, my order had issues as soon as I arrived. We asked for the spicy sauce to be taken off our fish tacos. Luckily, the hostess who took the order noticed right away, that it was made incorrectly. So, it had to be redone. We asked for pico de gayo to replace the sauce and the fish tacos were drowned in the pico. It should have been placed on the side. We were charged $1 for every salsa sauce we ordered. When you eat in the restaurant it is given freely. The chips were served cold. When, I called and asked about it, I was told these were changes that had been made last month. We enjoyed the carne asada tacos with the avocado crema. They were delicious. My grandkids loved the Spanish rice. We also really liked the tacos Al pastor. The pork and pineapple are a tasty and flavorful combination. These were great. So, was it a total loss? No, not at all..we enjoyed a lot of the meal, but when you are paying $80 for a take out dinner, you want that attention to detail that you receive when dining at the restaurant. I will definitely be back, but I will be eating inside the restaurant. That, way, I can get my margarita too. read more

It's all about the patio and the service at this hip tex-mex concept in Potomac. Stopped in for lunch last Saturday and had a great experience. Our server was super friendly and attentive. I love their patio! It provides good shade and overlooks a pretty courtyard--so you're not eating tons of car exhaust along with your tacos. The food was solid, but not outstanding. My tacos (chicken, cauliflower, grilled fish) were tasty, but small. I'm a big eater, so I needed to eat six to fill me up. My dining companion had the veggie burrito, which she enjoyed. If you're all about food volume for the money, you might be happier elsewhere. I highly recommend this spot as a gathering place for happy hour or to catch up with friends over drinks--especially in the nice weather!!! read more

First time to Margarita Monday at Gringos and Mariachis at Park Potomac. The food is fabulous. We ordered guacamole with chips, kale Caesar salad and chicken and avocado soup. Our entrees included two quesabirria tacos, two carne asada tacos and the chicken chimichanga. All delicious winner choices. Our server Patty was friendly and took excellent care of us. I think I like Monday night the best because the restaurant is not as loud as it is on other nights. read more

Always a fun time at Gringos & Mariachi! They have happy hour specials with drinks and food deals. They also celebrate Taco Tuesday's. The tacos are $4 each - the Honey Habanero Shrimp had a kick to it! The cauliflower taco wasn't my favorite. They offer a weekend brunch as well! I enjoy the margaritas, chorizo stuffed dates and duck nachos. The art in the restaurant is unique. 2 hours of free parking available read more

I came to the Park Potomac location with two friends who desperately needed a night out! No issues with service or with the food. The server was willing to ensure dishes were made according to our dietary needs. I've been to the Bethesda location as well, but prefer this spot since its much more spacious. The decor was spot on, and loved the rustic appeal! My friends absolutely loved the Birria, Honey Glazed Shrimp and the Chicken Tacos. I appreciate how they had other options for vegetarians such as the Chorizo and the Sofritas. Each taco had the right amount of salt and spice; they were so good we ordered more of each kind! Please think about adding three tacos instead of two! read more

While visiting some friends, they brought us here bc we were missing some good Mexican food. It was super cute and in a small downtown ish area. There were 6 of us and we were seated pretty quickly. We went sort of late so maybe that worked in our favor. I had the seasonal mocktail of Cinnamon Apple Fizz, while everyone else had House Margaritas. All you heard was OMG, this is soo good, perfection in a cup from the group! We each had something different, but most ordered the vast variety of different tacos! I personally had the chicken tacos and was super impressed. They were smallish and come in 2s. The chicken was seasoned to perfection, and very juicy. The onions were just the right touch. Honey had the tacos as well, but he had the duck! They have chicken, duck, shrimp, beef, and fish. So many options, but we all really enjoyed the food. It was the perfect spot for a late dinner but also intimate enough to make it a great spot for a first date, or after work margs. I wish we had one in Texas! It was so so good. Everything was reasonably priced. We ended the evening with cocoa tres leches to have once we got settled in for the night. Perfect place!!! Great job! I wish I would have caught our servers name! She was wonderful! read more

HAPPY HOUR is 3-6pm most weekdays, and knocks $2 off select tacos and draft beers. G&M always offers an inviting atmosphere parking is plentiful if you arrive before 6pm. If you'll arrive for Happy Hour, would suggest trying 1) Tacos Al Pastors; 2) Habanero Wings; 3) Shrimp Lettuce Wraps; and 4) Birrea Empanadas read more

We had a really fun, happy hour great service from Edwin. Delicious hot sauces and tacos and corn on the cob. It was great for a vegetarian.

Gringos and Mariachis was decent. I went there one day after work with some coworkers. Their happy hour specials are pretty good. Drinks are $7 and food is $8. In some cases this is as much as a 40% discounts which is pretty substantial. The experience was honestly nothing to write home about. Food was decent, service was decent and vibes were fine. read more

I'd rate higher if the service was better (they were clearly understaffed on Father's Day). My duck tacos were tasty, though greasy. My wife liked the safritos tacos, and the avocado salsa. read more

Gringos and Mariachis: A Flavorful Fiesta Came here with my ladies. Gringos and Mariachis offers a dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds while providing a cozy atmosphere. The house margaritas are a standout, packing a powerful punch with their strong yet delightful blend. For those seeking a bold cocktail experience, these margaritas do not disappoint. The shrimp tacos, which are a true flavor explosion. Each bite reveals a complex taste profile, with a subtle heat that adds an exciting dimension to the dish, I changed my tortilla for lettuce wraps. Dessert lovers will appreciate the restaurant's sweet offerings. The flan is so delectable that you'll be tempted to order seconds, while the tres leches cake strikes a perfect balance - sweet but not overly moist. It's a dessert that will satisfy those who prefer a lighter, less saturated cake. The environment adds to the overall dining experience, though it's worth noting that the space can become quite loud. This might be a consideration for those seeking a more subdued dining atmosphere. Pros: Strong, delicious margaritas Flavorful shrimp tacos with a hint of heat Excellent desserts (flan and tres leches) Vibrant environment Cons: Can get noisy (that's okay to me) read more

Came in for an early dinner over the weekend. The space is beautiful! I love the art and the energetic vibes of the restaurant. Service was also great. The waiter checked on us several times throughout our meal. Food was hit or miss for our group. One person ordered the elote and did not enjoy the flavor of the mayo used. I ordered Mexican rice that was absolutely flavorless. The chips weren't amazing but the salsa was fresh. I also had a strawberry limeade that I thought was just okay. My whole party agreed we would come back for the birria quesadilla and the carne asada tacos. The tacos are small, but the meat is cooked to perfection and the flavor is great! Overall an average experience. I will definitely come back to continue to explore the menu. read more

The food and drinks were delicious! I wish I recalled what I had, but my friend and I both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Prompt and friendly service too. I'd definitely go back. read more

Wanted to try a new to me restaurant so went to Gringos. It is definitely a space that is more energetic i suppose based on the location and bar. The drinks were good and it seems they have a $7 deal during happy hour that looked amazing. Unfortunately i went around 8pm. The service was fabulous but i felt like there could be more with the food. The shrimp tacos i got for my main were very confusing. It was also very small portion so i am not a fan. The best thing i ate was the birria special! The consome and actual birtia taco were delicious and perfect. I would go back but specifically for happy hour so i can get more bang for my buck. read more

Suggested as good meeting place by my foodies group, our larger party of 8 had a very nice dinner. The food was great. Everyone was able to order something to their liking. Our server took good care of us. We had an early reservation for dinner to accommodate our larger group. The place clearly gets busy. Everything went really well. Parking was easy, with the free public garage just a few steps away. We will definitely be back. (We emailed the restaurant with our group request and we were made very welcome.) Great Washington DC foodie group recommendation! read more

On a busy Saturday night, we had a group of seven. Food was good, but the service was better. Thank you Ale

Great authentic food!! Cool atmosphere. Excellent service! Our waitress Ale was attentive and sweet!

Amazing deals and food on brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. We are also regulars here for Happy Hour during the week and for weekend brunch. Outdoor patio is dog friendly and has a great vibe. Highly recommend Patty and Ivan as servers. Thanks! read more

We enjoy going to Gringos for lunch or Happy Hour. Edwin is hands down the best! He is so attentive and he is always anticipating what our family needs when he is taking care of us. He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure we have a great experience each and every time, which is why we keep going back. read more

White boy tacos with white not flavor. the owner somehow got my contact info and asked me to remove my 1 star review without apologizing or offering to fix the issues. Total trap for young yuppies who like lights and loud music more than authentic Latin food. It's just Gringos. White boy unseasoned chicken and overcooked dry beef. Make sure you get plenty of sauce to cover up the taste. It's about on par with Cafr Rio but nowhere close to competing with Taco Bar or Ixtapalapa. Even Taco Bamba is way better. read more

I'm so lucky that this place is only 10 minutes from my house! Every visit has been outstanding! The food is delicious, the drinks are really good, and the service is always top-notch. At my last visit Andrea was our server, she was really good and so personable! But then again, I've never had a bad server at gringos. The chips and salsa are dangerous, homemade and absolutely delicious. I usually wind up getting a second order! I'm looking forward to my next visit read more

Great food and margaritas. Patty was an excellent server as well! Nice weeknight out for drinks

Al and Jimmy provided top-notch service and outstanding recommendations! The food is consistently great and the service is exceptional -- two reasons I'll always recommend this location. The rolled birria empanada is absolutely delicious, and the drinks are perfectly strong and sweet. Don't miss their happy hour; you won't be disappointed! read more

Great food and excellent service from Ivan! Tacos were delicious and we have high expectations after previously living in San Antonio. The atmosphere is lively but quite loud. Overall delicious dinner and great service! We'll be back soon. read more

I wake up sometimes thinking about the alambre tacos for lunch. I eat here way to often. The food and more importantly the staff are exceptional. Always consistent. The brunch is fantastic too. Cucumber Jalapeño Margaritas are the best, Low rider as well. Jimmy at Potomac Place and Sia in Bethesda and sometimes Potomac are the most attentive and charismatic bartenders ever. Come in alone. Everyone will make you feel welcome. By far one of my most favorite businesses. Its a good place to work because their staff has been there for years. read more

Food was average, we ordered steak fajitas and chicken fajitas. Everything was extremely overcooked and dry. The margaritas hardly had any alcohol. We won't be coming again. read more

Great food, very fast service. Like surprisingly fast service despite it being busy. Our server Ale was fantastic and so nice. Will definitely return! read more

Go during happy hour! Good food, great prices. Service was good too. We sat outside on a warm evening and the temp was good under the awning. There were two of us, and for around $50 we had 4 drinks and 4 appetizers! The four apps were enough for dinner. Best two were the wings and pork empanadas. This is the second time we have done this, and we'll do it again. read more

We had a great evening at Gringos & Mariachis. Walked in on a Friday evening, it was busy, but we didn't have to wait. Our waiter was courteous and friendly. 2 margaritas, 1 blood orange margarita. and elotes. Tacos were Al pastor, asada, fish, shrimp, and pernil. Everything was fresh, delicious, and flavorful. The atmosphere is very upbeat and lively. A great experience overall! read more

I just got my order from Uber Eats 4 Coca Colas, 4 coconut flans and 2 tres leches, and I am SO DISAPPOINTED because one of the tres leches is fresh and soft like they made it today and the other one is hard as a rock, dry and old like they made it one moth ago. How can you send that to your clients?? Just because your clients didn't show up at the restaurant it doesn't mean you are going to send something that you wouldn't even eat. And this is not the first time I am experiencing this because I ordered before also tres leches and it wasn't fresh. Poor quality kitchen management. read more

Omg! This place is so good! I am definitely going back before my trip is over! I think you could skip out on their chips and salsa that they get for free. The chips are a bit too thick for my liking I like thinner chips to dip in. That goes for the guacamole and chips, or the queso and chips. However, order the queso on the side. It's white melted cheese, and it has a bit of a kick to it, so good! I ended up just doing it on my meal. I'm vegetarian, they had a ton of veggie options which is great! I ended up ordering the veggie nachos of my meal. This is a one of a kind dish because it's not your regular kind of nachos. There about 8 Singular Circle chips loaded with tons of veggies. I even added roasted cauliflower I would definitely recommend to do this! Also, I had a guacamole on top and it was phenomenal. Also, their drinks are great! They actually put alcohol in them! Usually, when I go out, the drinks are a bit on the weaker side, but these drinks are definitely strong. I was feeling it at the end of my first one, and I still order the second one. The atmosphere and here is great to go out to eat for a day or even a group setting ! Our server was also really nice and super helpful! read more

I had such a great time here I would definitely recommend ALL OF YOU to come and TRY IT OUT. The bartender Issac was fantastic he created an amazing experience for my first time. I had the duck nachos to start, which were the best choice! MUST TRY I ALSO had 2 carnitas tacos which were great. I must say I do wish the flour was made differently. I love the tacos but the flour could be changed. The portion could be a bit more but my service was so great I would be back again. I love the tacos selection and the salsa and chips included does make the experience worth having. I had a strawberry margarita in which I enjoyed a salted tajin rim. I love that they carry the tajin seasoning and recommend on coming and experiencing the vibe they create for you. Thank you to the runner Alejandra she truly was working so hard and I am very pleased to have dined in with this restaurant. Thank you team for the amazing service and food! read more
