    Double D Without Lettuce
    James M.

    It was my first time trying Gringos Locos this week and I was not disappointed. A friend had recommended it and suggested the Double D taco, and I have to say it was fantastic. I almost got straight back up and ordered two more! The combination of the soft shell with the hard shell with the queso in between was a fantastic creation I needed in my life way sooner than this. On that note, we had chips and queso on the side and it was delicious too. The queso was excellent, flavorful and a good portion size. The staff were incredibly friendly and helped as the menu can be a little overwhelming to a newbie! It's a nice hole in the wall establishment that I've accidentally walked past before, that will not be happening again! Next time I'm ordering not one, not two but THREE Double D's.

    Double D's All The Way!! These tacos are something so incredibly unique! I have been eating them consistently for over 5 years now and they never get old. Can't recommend this place and this specific taco enough!

    Love Gringos and the food they serve! The Double D's are the best taco on the menu hands down as you get a soft taco sandwiched between a hard taco with some delicious cheese as the go between. The staff is always hustling and getting food out as quickly as possible.

    Good food, and good service. The food is a little pricey but I would recommend if you are in the area.

    We have always enjoyed this location! The perfect spot for a late night snack or afternoon lunch. The pricing is fair and the portions are good! We noticed more recently that this location now has screens where you can order, which makes ordering a lot easier!! The only downside is parking, but that's with any restaurant downtown. It's not terrible but also not free or easy. We definitely will be back in the future!

    We came here for dinner honestly because it was one of the few places still open and offering a quick bite. You order from the screens directly below the menu and it was quite easy. Afterwards, you pay the employee and then they call your order when ready. All pretty straightforward. For whatever reason, I ordered the lean green burrito and then received the order with the tag Ok Jorge (a different burrito option on the menu). When we asked the employee why we received the wrong burrito we were told they just ran out of labels for the lean green burrito and they used the Ok Jorge since they are the same burrito. The burrito was definitely not what I ordered, nor were the two options on the menu the same. Besides all that, I was just bewildered why they would use a wrong label at all, if they were out of another label. They are literally handwritten. Just don't use a label or write another one? Overall whichever burrito I did end up with was not good but it was okay. Just really dry and had random beans in certain bites (didn't order it with beans lol). My husband's burrito order turned out perfect and he enjoyed his burrito enough. Definitely wouldn't come back but if you are hungry and in a pinch I understand coming here. Plenty of seating inside too.

    I stopped in to Gringos Locos for a quick bite after seeing a concert at the Beacham in downtown Orlando back in October 2023. I have to give this place credit because there were a ton of people at this concert and a bunch of them came here for a meal after the show which ended around 11pm on a Monday night. Basically, you decide what you want to order, place your order via a touch screen kiosk at the main counter, pick a seat (if you can find one), when a staff member calls out your name, return to the counter to pick up your meal. I ordered the Drunk Gringo ($15), which is a burrito stuffed with rice, all proteins, beans, Queso, and Salsa Verde. Overall, the burrito was excellent; however, not nearly as large as I expected for $15, but what can I say, I was hangry and needed something before heading home. My brother-in-law ordered the Drunk Nachos. I have no idea what he paid for them, but his portion size was enormous, leaving him with some leftovers. He said his meal was good too. Although my burrito was a bit on the pricy side, I would return here if I am at a future event near this store.

    Late night eats for the win!!! This spot will hit the spot if you're in the area. The double d's are very unique and I recommend. It's a taco in both a hard and soft shell. Mixing the textures of both shell's took this taco to new heights! And the fillings were fresh; the meat, cheese and veggies! I got a side of chips and queso and it did not disappoint. Try this next time you're downtown. The only down side is I had a coupon from Yelp and they did not honor it :(

    Gringos Locos is a taco restaurant that is local to the Central FL area. This has been a staple to the Orlando community for many years. They serve quick and easy tacos that are very flavorful. This particular location is in a central location to the Downtown area. If you find yourself looking for a quick late night bite after some drinks this is the perfect spot. Their Double D tacos are a fan favorite and never seem to disappoint. The bottom line, if you're looking for something quick and easy while still reasonably priced and flavorful this is the spot.

    2 fish tacos - 12 dollars. Too small and not worth the price.

I loved the covered outdoor seating and interior decor with the waterscape feature . Service was phenomenal!!! We sat inside and enjoyed a the chips and queso and salsa before we our entrees arrived.

I approach the hostess asking what happened and she did not speak to me, she instead signaled me to follow her repeatedly saying ok ok ok. As she went to my table and began to remove the menu. I then asked again in spanish this time and she said "I am moving you". I asked why and she kept talking into her earpiece telling some one I was pissed off when I was not, I was confused. The Server came out and arrived at the table and the Hostess left. Server then told us there was a miscommunication, however I still did not get an answer. The food came out quick since we had plenty of time to view the menu. The female Manager made her rounds and had no idea what had happened. She then came to our table, did not even introduced herself and offered us a dessert while we were still eating dinner for what happened. She barely spoke and seemed clueless to what was happening and yet, still no explanation! We get boxes for our food and I pay the bill, I gave the server a really good tip because it was not her fault and we left full of food and disappointment. Note to Owner: Communication goes a long way, educate your staff and make sure they treat everyone with the same respect by being hospitable and bilingual. If I was given a reason, this review would have been amazing! Service : Terrible service, not friendly or inviting, there is a language barrier, and management has no idea about customer service which is my guess why the place was empty! Food: Amazing as always and it is a shame because I really love(d) this place and gladly spent $200+ every time I dine here. Ambiance: Clean, trendy, and inviting. Sorry Agave Azul, you used to be my favorite spot to dine but that honor will now go to Agave Bandidos.

Unfortunately, as much as I love the food there and the ambience, especially on Cinco de Mayo, I was starving! I remembered around the corner there was a restaurant that had been recommended in the past, but I never got the chance to check out. Being that I was in the area, I figured let's give this spot a try. Lo and behold, El Pueblo was only six minutes down the road! There was a 20 minute wait, but I was greeted kindly by the staff, and when I walked in you could tell this place was super authentic. The decor was super vibrant and music was bumping. They do not have alcohol, but they have coronas and a margarita type glass premixed for purchase. That held us over for the time being. The chips and salsa were phenomenal. The salsa had some type of sweet pepper flavor to it and you could tell it was homemade. My friend got three tacos with rice and beans and I got the flautas you were able to choose your own meat, which was really cool no extra charge. Sometimes back up plans can end up being the best finds. Definitely will be back!!!!

The restaurant itself is very nice inside clean, well designed, and has a welcoming atmosphere. There's also a parking garage nearby, which makes it convenient. When we arrived, it wasn't too busy, and it took our server about 4 minutes to greet us. Once she did, she was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially since I have a shellfish allergy. That definitely stood out and made me feel comfortable dining there. They start you off with complimentary chips and dips, which were amazing and a great way to kick off the meal. For my main, I ordered the chipotle queso enchiladas along with the Perfect Paloma. The drink lived up to its name it was refreshing, flavorful, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the supreme nachos, which were good overall, but the beans were a bit overpowering compared to the other toppings. As the restaurant started to get busier, things did slow down a bit, and the food took longer than expected because they were backed up. That said, our server continued to check in on us and kept a great attitude the entire time. When the enchiladas finally came out, they did not disappoint. The chipotle queso enchiladas were absolutely delicious full of flavor and definitely something I'd order again. The only downside was the rice, which was a little hard and not as enjoyable as the rest of the plate. Overall, Uncle Julio's offers a great dining experience with excellent service, a clean environment, and some really standout menu items. A few small issues with timing and sides, but nothing that ruined the experience. Rating: 4/5

We went in during Happy Hour expecting to sip a drink while we waited for food. Despite advertising Half Off Cocktails, when the server finally arrived we were informed that it only applied to about six margaritas on their menu, not 'cocktails' as advertised. We didn't complain to the server, as we assumed it wasn't his policy. Disappointing and misleading. We did end up ordering a variety of margaritas, which were disappointing to our crew for various reasons. Mine was acceptable but not exciting, though. I got the swirl with sangria. We checked in online and got the free 'guac'. I wish I'd snapped a photo, as it arrived without an attempt at presentation, just two scoops of mushed avocado on a plate. It needed more seasoning, which was unfortunate because there was no salt at our high top table. Nachos were decent, but soggy. I asked for extra jalapenos, which I did receive and they gave my plate more flavor. Service was fine. I felt bad that our server was both tending bar and taking orders as happy hour seemed to be a busier time for him. Overall, my experience was ho hum but my table partners were disappointed in the food, drinks, and experience. Hopefully yours is better than ours!
