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

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 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

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

Gringo's & Mariachis is sexy. The dramatic décor with artsy tattoo and graffiti art murals on all the walls paired with the old-school speakeasy type of bar cabinets and roped chandeliers really sets a tone. It is the perfect setup for a date night, girls night or even an intimate family-style dinner. The menu has a wide selection and the drink menu is a must try (watermelon margaritas are 5/5 here--pure amazing). Happy hour is legit. Drinks and food specials are available for $7.00! Also, don't forget about their brunch on the weekend! read more

Came here with so friends for an an impromptu night out. I haven't been to Gringos and Mariachis is about 6 years. I went to their first location in Bethesda and had an ok experience. Long wait times, parking and the size of their corn tortillas was their downfall at that time. I was hoping for a better experience at this location. We were able to sit outside which was nice but geez don't look up or you'll see spiders forming webs above your head. I did appreciate that there was plenty of parking options once you went into the garage. Our server was super awesome too. His service and the drinks are what made up the 3 stars. I ordered the might mango margarita which consisted of 100% SILVER BLUE AGAVE TEQUILA, APEROL, MANGO PUREE, LIME, AGAVE, O3 ORANGE LIQUEUR. And it was pretty good. My fiancé and I split the bacon wrapped jalapeños as an appetizer. Those were pretty good! For my entrée, I order the BIRRIA BURRITO W/ ESQUITES. The Birria burrito consisted of SLOW COOKED BEEF SHORT RIB | GREEN RICE | BLACK BEANS | AVOCADO SALSA | LETTUCE | SOUR CREAM | QUESO FRESCO. With all of those inredients you would think this would be soooo flavorful. Well.... it wasnt. It was quite bland. Normally i would bring home my leftovers.... this time around, i left it right at the table. I want to love this place but after 2 different experiences, i cant say that I will be back. read more

Food was impeccable and so was the service! This was my first time dining here and I throughly enjoyed my experience. I highly recommend the esquites, they were delicious. However, unfortunately one of their bussers is clearly not cut out for this much human interaction. The poor server kept having to clear the table and the busser would come over grab one thing (without asking) and say sorry. Mind you the things he grabbed we were fully still working on finishing. Zero bussing etiquette, zero social skills. As someone who has been in a management position at a restaurant this kid would not last a day if he were my employee. read more

Gringos and Mariachis is a cute place in Park Potomac. I'm usually a fajitas person whenever I eat out, but I was intrigued by the different tacos they served. I had their cauliflower and birria tacos, which paired nicely with my sangria. The tacos were filled and satisfying with every bite. I can't wait to try more of their brunch items. read more

The food it delicious! This location is much more open and bright than the Bethesda location. Highly recommend for a spring/summer happy hour. read more

I've been to this restaurant both in Bethesda and Potomac. There are lots of vegetarian options here, which is awesome. This location does not take reservations, so it's first come first serve. The ambiance is great with lively music. Drinks are great too. Service is amazing as well. Here is what I've tried: - Guacamole with chips -- this is ok. Guacamole lacked salt. Could have added a bit more spice. - Vegetable Sopes -- this was delicious. Loved it. It's like small cakes filled with refried beans and topped with veggies. - Cauliflower Tacos -- these are yummy. - Churros -- this was ok. The churros were a bit dry for my liking. Overall, great place to dine with delicious food, preppy ambiance, attentive service, and super cool vibe. Many options for vegetarians. Go give it a try. read more

First ones to arrive in the outside area. We didn't receive our food almost 45 minutes after putting our order in. Worst customer service ever. Never coming back again! Plus food didn't taste great. read more

Super speedy service, even on a Saturday night! Server was quick and very friendly. Complimentary salsa is awesome- and they have 9 additional salsas. Chips are tiny, crunchy, and very yummy. All this food for $30 sounds pretty OK to me! Will be returning soon. read more

So I came to this place once before but didn't have a chance to review it but it was so good then that it had been on my mind enough that I told a friend I wanted to head here for lunch prior to us doing some shopping this weekend :) Lunchtime seems like the best time to visit on the weekends because they offer amazingly unique brunch options (& happy hour) and it wasn't crowded at all. We ordered the Queso for an appetizer and the serving is enough for a minimum of 4 folks! We were I cheesy chip heaven lol! There were so many entrees we wanted to try but my friend went with the fajita omelette which was MASSIVE and I went with the chicken fajitas and added on a side of green rice. The fajita omelette had the option of being veggie, chicken, steak or shrimp and he went with the chicken option. He couldn't finish the entire thing but said it was DIVINE! My fajitas were plentiful and DELISH and I loved that you have the option for corn tortillas, flour tortillas or lettuce wraps as your fajita building vessels because options are nice in general, yet, having carb conscious options is cool. The margaritas are BOMB!!!!! My skinny one was tasty and packed the right punch you need in a margarita! My friend went with a mango one which I didn't get a picture of, however, we had 2 rounds so you can guess his was yummy as well. Lastly, the service, music and ambiance is also great!!!! Definitely an establishment that will be added to my rotation when I'm in the mood for Mexican! read more

Located at Park Potomac with ample free parking. Nice modern but chill ambiance. Service was ok, not much interaction. They have outside seating for nice days. The food and flavors were good. Tacos can get a little soggy and messy. Came for a late lunch so it wasn't crowded and they brought all the food pretty quickly, but the entrees would get cold by the time we finished the appetizers. Probably a 3.5 overall, but i would lean more towards a 3 than a 4. read more

We had a reheat time at Gringo and Mariachis ! The service was great. We ordered the guacamole, ceviche and the sopes for appetizer. The ceviche was the star- I really enjoyed the bites of mangoes ! I order the Mexican sandwich for my main meal. The portion was huge. I could barely eat 1/4 of the sandwich !! Also we got free chips and salsa when we sat on the table, that's a win win in my book! Lastly, the patio seating is abundant. They had tables in BST were both covered and in the open. Will def recommend! read more

Okay so, I went here with a friend for dinner. And truthfully, I cannot say anything negative but I also cannot say anything positive. Decent food - some items I thought you would be better (the birria tacos). But a little hot sauce is what it needed to be eaten. Good drinks, that and the fast seating probably the reason why this establishment is getting a 3 out of 5. Would I return? Eh, probably not. I was honestly planning to get oysters that evening and wound up here. Again, quick seating, good drinks, nice service. But that's about it. read more

thank you Jimmy! great margaritas! fun happy hour with great weather and great view too

Service and atmosphere is great but the food was disappointing. We got Al pastor tacos and carne asada tacos but the meat was dry and felt overcooked - even the Al pastor ones which had the sauce and pineapple. The house margaritas was meh. Won't be back read more

My family is a huge family of Gringos! Their tacos are our favorite in the area. Every time we need a good taco fix we know where to go. They have a variety of options, even those for vegetarians, and while all are good their fish tacos are by far my favorite. In addition to their tacos, I am a huge fan of their shrimp ceviche. The inclusion of apple adds a nice crunch and texture change and the avocado breaks up the acidity of the lemon and tomato. The restaurant is also a great place for happy hour. With a good amount of drink options, the outdoor seating makes it a great place to go and enjoy the nice weather. Inside is also nice with a large open window around the bar. The service there is great and the waiters are always on top of making sure you have everything you need. read more

Food was not very good-would not recommend. Much better Mexican in the area (although few and far between).

food was amazing and the service from Ana was top tier! the tacos are amazing and so are the margaritas

This is a nice HH spot with plenty of seating outdoors. Park Potomac is pretty busy around HH, but parking is free for two hours in surrounding lots. For starters, chips and salsa is provided for free but we also ordered elote, al pastor tacos, and house margaritas on the HH menu. I loved the elote - nice, sweet corn. The al pastor tacos (I believe $6 for two) did not meet my expectations -- it looks amazing, but the flavor isn't there. The $6 margaritas were great and had a nice balance between sweet and sour. If you're used to making your own amazing guac, this one is nothing special. They were heavy on the jalapeños, and I added my own salt and lime to it. After being almost full from the appetizers, I went with duck tacos. After the elote, these were the star of the show. This was my first time trying duck, and it is similar to chicken, but more juicy. It was flavorful and tender. My friend ordered the birria quesadilla which was very greasy and dripping with oil so stay away if you're on a diet. The carne asada tacos were served lukewarm and dry - def do not recommend. Overall, the red meats could use more seasoning, but this is a nice place to frequent for HH. read more

Made another trip to Bethesda and ate at Gringos & Mariachis! So delicious! Love the homemade queso with the chips, elite, duck tacos, and their apple cider mule cocktail. Outstanding! read more

WOW!!! We went here on Cinco De mayo and expected it to be packed and it definitely was. But the service was setup the entire time we was there our table was cleared instantly and our waitress was impeccable. The overall atmosphere was great definitely would recommend this as a great Mexican food stop. So onto the food which was awesome as well as everything else at this space We tried the birria egg rolls and they didn't leave anything in taste our table devoured these in seconds . The Tacos were also a game changer we got the el pastor and birria tacos. The Birria were good but the el pastor were soooo good and this would definitely be my taco to recommend We also got the queso as a starter and it's good on everything we got a side of Mexican rice and added the queso onto it and it just made the rice even better than it already was read more
