While I would not consider the true authentic Mexican. It is Gringo Mexican and exactly what I grew up eating. So to me it was outstanding. Obviously some might be disappointed, but the name of the place should give it away. Had taco and beef enchiladas both exactly what I wanted. Rice and beans were also spot on. Service was very good. Chips out right away. Water was refilled quickly. What keeps this from 5 star in my book was price. Just myself with water including tip was $27.00. It just makes it so I probably will only go a couple times a year as opposed to once a month. But I will be back read more

Pleasantly impressed with this place! Crispy chips and good salsa, not too hot! But they do have a hot one if you ask. Chips and salsa kept full. Quick masked service. Pretty much made to order. Portion sizes good. Prices good but a bit high on a couple of items. We liked the burritos and enchiladas. Guacamole was great and the kids devoured the fried ice cream. I will say the menu is hard to read. The small cursive font descriptions and prices with a shaded background made it a challenge even with reader glasses. read more

)Went here on Sat eve. Busy but was seated and served fast. Sue ordered Chix Quesadilla and said it was delish. I got 1/2 order nachos (which was not on menu but staff recommended) and it was outstanding. Some of the best I've had. Now, you say, why? Well, as you know, it's hard to screw up nachos but a lot of places do. This place DON'T. Oh, and maybe a couple Margs too didn't hurt. read more

Hardly any meat.. dry.. No flavor and expensive! Margarita was ice n tequila that's it.

The current prices are outrageously high for Mexican food. Went here a few years ago and it was busy, food and drinks were good. Upon a recent visit, wasn't busy for a Friday night, expensive and I asked ONLY for a bean and cheese burrito and got a meat burrito. The waitress acted like l wasn't telling the truth about the bean and cheese only request, disgruntled she took away my plate. Thank goodness I did not have to pay for something I did not order and only took 3 bites. After that I did not want anything else, even though I was hungry. read more

Very disappointed in the food. It was not worth what we paid for. It all tasted horrible. Boxed dinners and canned meat. I do not recommend. The steak in the burrito and enchilada tasted like canned meat. Over priced for the quality of food. read more

Love Gringos! The tacos are great. My 8 year old granddaughter loves the hard shell tacos! And our waitress was so welcoming and kind to us. Food was great! It was quite in there so my granddaughter decided to entertain everyone with her ballet dancing. Too much fun! You've got to check it out. Oh and free chips and salsa when you sit down. Yummy! read more

The nachos are the bomb. We enjoy the takeout window out back and have had pretty consistently good service.

Not my favorite Mexican in Fremont. Maybe too authentic for me? Not sure. Prices are a little high for the amount of food you get. Would have gone up for more chips and salsa at the salsa bar until we saw a custom use his hands instead of the tongs. Employees were all nice and all had excellent customer service. read more

This place is ok for a town as Big as Fremont, food wasn't all that great , and it was EXPENSIVE. There are other good local spots here in town for fraction of the price. Don't get me wrong if you want to go hang out and have a beer , it's ok for it. read more

Very disappointed in the food. Did not taste any seasoning in any of the food. Beans and Sancho were covered with a bland red sauce which ruined the taste of the beans. Rice was like something boxed, no tomato flavor at all. Salsa was sweet, very unusual. Perhaps we've spent too much time in the Rio Grande Valley and had really good Mexican food. Would not recommend or eat there again. read more

Average food, ridiculous prices for Mexican. Over $30 for a lunch for two without drinks for a $15 caliber meal. Stay away!

Gringos = White Guys, This place is as bland as a piece of white toast. Probably the worst excuse for a Mexican restaurant, I bet They dont have one Spaniard ie. Mexican on the payroll. Beef Burrito Grande, when I heard the ding from the Microwave I knew my food was ready, completely terrible, rice looks like it came from rice a roni "The San Fran Cisco Treat", Refried Beens had a funky stale taste, everything including beans covered in sauce... Why? Is it to cover up the bland food hiding underneath the sauce? On my way out of town I had to stop at a Taco Johns & Taco Bell to get something close to Mexican Food. Terry instead of making a self servicing comment about how sorry you are to hear I think your food sucks do something about it and google some recipes on Mexican Food. If I could give this place Zero Stars I would. read more

If you dine in , you get complementary chips and sauce . This makes up for the price of the food , like a single enchilada witch alone cost over $7 with tax. It is mushie Chicken in a tortilla with sauce and a little cheese. Not very good. Texture gross. read more

Our son recommended this restaurant, and everyone but he was disappointed. My wife ordered three street tacos and the steak was over cooked and had bad flavor. She ate one taco, but did not want more. My mother also ordered the street tacos with steak and the steak was bad, so she kicked it off the tortilla and ate the onions and cheese with no meat. I ordered the super sancho and it was disgusting. The steak had bad flavor and was over cooked. The "cheese" inside the burrito was not a flavor I've ever had, the refried beans clearly came from a can and were gross, and the side of rice tasted like over cooked rice that was heavily seasoned with cumin. When the server asked if I liked it, I explained that I did not. She left without offering an alternative to anyone at the table, and charged us for everything. It was a very disappointing outing and due to the lack of service, we likely won't return. Do better, Gringos Cantina. read more

Horrible. Service was beyond terrible. We received our order and it was wrong, no biggie usually. But our waitress didn't come back. We tried to flag her down once but she said "one sec." The other waitress said it wasn't her table so she wouldn't help. The food was almost as bad as the service. I just got a regular beef burrito. Beans were flavorless, rice bland. The ground beef wasn't seasoned. Simply, it was bad. Do not go. read more

Firstly, let it be known, I am a Mexican food snob. My fiance is Mexican, he cooks a lot, we eat at his parents a lot, I have eaten the best food of my life in Mexico, etc... That said, Gringo's offers the "white-version of mexican food." Less flavor than the real deal, no spice, no kick, no soul. The salsa "bar" is a sad excuse for waiters/waitresses not wanting to take the extra ten steps to bring you chips and salsa. Said salsa is as bland as the food. Also, the decor is more Native American than Mexican, which really confused me. On the upside, our waitress was very nice, speedy, and efficient. Pricing is reasonable, for what's expected. Servings our reasonably sized. read more

Fantastic restaurant that is willing to modify items for customers I love their burrito grande with beans instead of beef unfortunately that does not lower the price neither does ordering an item ala carte read more

Gringo's Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Fremont, Nebraska

Having just moved out to Fremont within the past two weeks, I think it says a lot that I ALREADY want to give Gringo's a great review. Boasting a huge menu that is sure to please all, Gringo's is definitely one of the better Fremont restaurants. The food is delicious, the restaurant is casual and family-friendly, and the service is prompt and attentive. The pork tamales are to-die-for, and the enchiladas are tasty as well. Even the rice and beans are especially good! Being a kind of picky eater, I appreciate that they leave all the garnishes (lettuce, tomato, sour cream, etc.) on the side. Now, the only reason I am giving them 4 stars is opposed to 5 is that I am a native Californian, and therefore used to absolutely outstanding, highly authentic Mexican food. I have just been spoiled in terms of Mexican food my whole life. Gringo's is slightly lacking in the authenticity department if you ask me (maybe it's the ground beef in the enchiladas?), but that's just me being nit-picky; it doesn't make the restaurant any less enjoyable. I highly recommend Gringo's. read more

My now husband and I used to eat here ALL the time when we lived here in Fremont-- it was my absolute favorite place to eat. Chips and salsa were a go-to freebie followed by the chicken tortilla soup and finished with the white enchilada. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would without a doubt. Fabulous interior only to be topped by the food. Stopped by here not long ago for some nostalgic taste and it prompted me to give this wonderful place the review it deserves. Sincerely, a long-time fan! read more

Last night the Hubs and I ordered dinner from Gringos, not the first time but definitely the last. I got chicken nachos, he got beef enchiladas. Both of us spent the entire night and most of this morning throwing it all back up. Who knew that a healthy dose of food poisoning came included ?! Never.Again. read more

Have enjoyed eating at Gringos for years, until my most recent visit about 1 week ago. I asked my waitress for extra sour cream in which she said no problem and promptly gave me a small bowl of extra sour cream. I didn't think anything of this until it was time to pay and was THEN told I had been changed $1.25 extra for about 2 tablespoons of extra sour cream. I understand there might be an extra charge at some restaurants for extra cheese, toppings, etc but isn't it common courtesy to polietly inform the customer when they ask for it? At any other restaurant I have been to, A. I have never been charged for extra sour cream or B. the server has informed me if there is an extra charge for something I am about to order. Will no longer be able to recommend this restaurant I once liked. No common courtesy, careless service, and simply trying to up the sale with hidden fees. read more

I love the staff. I just can't get enough food. So yummy. Haha. I try to go once a month. I would go more if I could. Keep up the work Gingo's. I'll be back soon for my chimichangas.... read more

Great service, great food, love the chimichangas. A real Fremont treat! Nice cozy atmosphere, for lunch or dinner.

Gringo's is a decent family Mexican restaurant that boasts a large menu aimed to please just about anybody. It's definitely not authentic Mexican, so don't come in thinking you're going to get the best Mexican food of your life, and you'll leave far less disappointed. The salsa bar leaves something to be desired, even though you're able to fill up as much or as little as you'd like, as often as you'd like. The guacamole is more mushed avocado than it is guacamole, so I would not order again. My husband got a burrito and I got the beef chimichanga. Each were plenty in portion size, and will absolutely leave you feeling full when you walk out the door. The restaurant itself is pretty so-so, but very family friendly. read more

Not the best Mexican place I've eaten for a few reasons. It seems that every time I go there is a hair in my food or one time there was a bug in my drink. Food isn't bad but it's just a dirty environment. read more

Expensive, poor service, far from traditional Mexican food. Ordered simple steak tacos which they failed to make to such a simple standard. I make better tacos at home. Don't waste your money go to Taco Bell instead (-: read more

Great food and great service. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. My only complaint is they need to put some alcohol in the margaritas. There like kool aid. read more

Best super sancho with the best hot sauce combination on earth. Been eating here for over 30 years. Miss this place badly!! Houston has nothing like it. Wish they were franchised but would probably not be as good. Please keep up the good work! LOVE IT!!! read more

Don't do it! The food is not horrible, but it really isn't worth the gas money it takes to get there.

Family Favorite, we love the chips and salsa. We have never been disappointed in our service or the food. Shelli Novotny Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ambassador Real Estate 402-250-7042 read more

Ordered from here for the first time in many years, my s/o is leery about tex-mex anyways but I assured him it was good. I called in our order, we both got a pork chimichanga and a burrito for our daughter some chips, guac and cheese and 2 margarita (It was happy hour 1/2 off). First off the cost was OUTRAGEOUS $70! The food was decent but not $70 decent. Next i specifically said i wanted the guac and cheese for my chips, i got a portion cup size of both for 3 people to eat from, they charged full price for the margaritas and i had to sit and wait in the drive through with everyone ordering. i get the covid thing right now but what's the point of calling ahead when you have to sit and wait, i was just as close to her through the drive through as she would have been walking it to my car. Very disappointed and wont be eating there again. read more

I stopped here for dinner with my family and don't have many positive things to say. Both my mom and I ordered the bean enchilada assuming these would be safe for vegetarians. But when the enchiladas came out there was meat in the enchilada sauce. And when we asked the waitress about it she also informed us that the beans have bacon in them. And to make it worse, the waitress charged us for the two enchiladas that we couldn't even eat! And the rest of our party gave only mediocre reviews of their meals. I'm not sure if this is the best of what the town has to offer but I sure hope that there is a place with better food and service! read more

I have never had a bad meal here. The Sancho Dinner is my favorite. Service is fast and friendly. The salsa bar is wonderful and the salsa itself is delicious! The only downfall is that their prices are rather high but you do get a lot of food to eat. read more

The food is not Authentic at all. The service is crapy! And Over priced. Apparently there costumer service is not a concern for them, being I've tried it a few different times with family and friends, thinking that i ordered the wrong thing or had a waitress that had a bad day. But I was wrong! Same result every time. Always treated rudely and like we are a bother to the staff. Will not return to this place ever Again! Food is bland and crappy service. I don't recommend this place. Thumbs down read more

As far as Mexican goes, this is the spot in Fremont. The tacos are always stuffed full of meat, and at a reasonable price. The chimichanga is the cat's pajamas. If you want to have good food for a great value, I recommend stopping by Gringos. read more

This is good tex mex but not outstanding. We have quite a few authentic Mexican and Salvadoran restaurants in town so I prefer those and they are kind of pricey too. Do like the salsa bar and the chile rellenos. read more

Where do I start? This was by far the worst "Mexican" food I have ever had. The salsa bar is a joke. We ordered cheese dip to start and it was like they melted a block of cheese with a lighter and threw rotel in it to make it fit the name of the restaurant. I ordered a chimichanga and it was terrible. It looked like sloppy joe meat stuffed inside of a fried tortilla. The rice tasted more like something I'd find in an Indian restaurant. I guess the bright side of the visit was I didn't get food poisoning so there's that. Stay away seriously. You'll find better food at Taco Bell at 3AM. read more

Poor quality food and horrible rude service! The worst Mexican food I've ever had and the ENTIRE visit no one that worked there once said thank you or anything! Plus when they made a mistake there was no apology. read more

The name says it all matches the bland food
