    Taco
    Brian S.

    Food was exceptional, service was too! The green sauce on my food was to die for. I wish they bottled it. It was clean and friendly. Would go back anytime I'm in the area.

    Queso

    Found on a business trip, will revisit next time I'm in town. Fun vibe. Our server, Fatima, was a doll and took great care of us. Food is fantastic. Loved the crisp veggies and array of salsas. No complaints!

    Gringos was absolutely packed - the line stretched all the way to the parking lot! It's clearly a hotspot, especially for college students and their families. The food was pretty good, though definitely more on the Americanized side of Mexican cuisine. I've had better, but the fun atmosphere makes up for it. They handle large parties really well, and even with the long line, it moved surprisingly fast. I'd definitely come back!

    My family took us to eat at Gringo's Mexican Kitchen, saying it was the best Mexican Food in B/CS and their favorite. Despite there being 7 of us, we were seated quickly. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has an upbeat vibe. The patio is welcoming and the bar looks fun and inviting. The service was great and our server was attentive throughout. The only reason I didn't give 5-stars, was that I just not crazy about Tex-Mex Mexican food. That's not the restaurant's fault. A lot of people do. And to be fair, it is called Gringos Tex-Mex. I don't much care for queso on tostada's or enchilada's. My preference is New Mexico style with fresh made enchilada sauce and hatch chili's. That said, what gringo's did, they did well. I had a tostada and taco. I thought the taco was good. The tostada was different to me. There was a very thin layer of beans on the tostada, seasoned with what tasted like taco meat seasoning. I didn't care for that very much. Also there was a lot of of lettuce on the tostada. Too much to eat. The Fajita bowl was good and worth ordering again. I like the way it was smothered in real (not processed) cheese. The bottom line is that Gringo's is a fun place to dine with friends. The atmosphere is awesome and the service is good. If you like Tex-Mex style Mexican food (which most do in the neck of the woods), then your experience will probably be 5-Star.

    Free icecream!

    Gringos is a great choice for Tex Mex style food! There is great portion sizes and plenty of flavor. Free ice cream was a nice bonus!! Ambiance: Lots of different type of seating from booths to table and chairs. There was medium lighting during dinner time. There is a louder noise level. There is plenty of seating so the wait time isn't long. Service: The service is great here compared to other restaurants in College Station. The server was very attentive and accommodating. He continuously checked on our table and our drinks were never empty! Chicken Breast fajitas: The portion was good! The meat was soooo juicy and flavorful. The dish is really simple as it only comes on a bed of onions. The dish came with a side of cheese, pico, and some guac. The dish also came with rice which was alright and beans. The chicken was the best part.

    Stopped off for lunch on the way to Galveston. Got seated right away and our server was right at the table. The atmosphere was very electric and somewhat loud, but not too bad. The food came out quick and was hot and very tasty. Again our server was right there whenever we needed anything. Very good experience. Definitely recommend.

    Small queso appetizer
    Belynda H.

    A year later on my five star still stands! This place is top notch! The restaurant is very clean and the workers are efficient. I can tell that they're hiring new recruits for the busy crazy football season. But they were doing great. My husband and I tried the bowl. He had the steak fajita bowl and I had the Marisco bowl. Delish!!

    Ribeye tacos

    Fatina was a great server. The queso was excellent. The food was delicious and the drinks were also great.

    Cheese enchiladas
    Josh R.

    Gringo's never disappoints! My go-to is the cheese enchiladas with the chile con carne sauce. So good!!!

Overall, the food hits, especially if you're craving something savory and indulgent, but the wait and the drink quality keep it from being a higher rating for me.
