    Chicken Taquitos
    Courtney W.

    This place is probably the most reliable restaurant for me in this area- service and food are consistently good. It does get busy at dinner time. I tried something new this time, the chicken taquitos from the appetizer menu but made it a meal by adding rice and beans and queso. Really liked this! The taquitos were nice and crispy and the chicken was well seasoned. Love that it comes with guac, pico, sour cream, and queso. It is a lot of food, I took half of it home.

    Came here for a friend's 50th birthday. Our friend who organized the lunch came an hour early to decorate our reserved section (3 tables) and our waiter Milton actually helped her. He was very patient and kind with us and worked hard (he was our only server). Our helium balloons escaped to the ceiling and he even stood on top of the counter and retrieved them for us. We tipped him extra on top of the added gratuity. I got the enchiladas suizas. The best I've had in town are from El Tiempo (comes with 1 or 2). Here it comes with three and costs the same as El Tiempo. It was good but the rice was bland and the food cooled too quickly/didn't stay hot long. Love that there's complimentary soft serve. Overall great experience and food for my first time here.

    Halloween 2025 at Gringo's Sugar Land was such a treat! They offered free meals for kids in costume, which made the night extra special. Our server, Andreas, was absolutely on point -- friendly, attentive, and professional. He asked if we were Tex Mex Insiders (their loyalty program), suggested appetizers without being pushy, and nailed our order perfectly. Our chip basket stayed full, our water glasses never went empty, and he treated me and my son like VIPs -- even though we were probably his smallest check of the night. Armando, the manager, checked on us several times and clearly leads by example. You can feel the strong team culture he's built. I had the Hatch Chile Enchiladas (my new favorite -- sad they're only around until 11/3), and my son had his usual mac and cheese, which he devoured.

    First time to visit. The salsa for the chips were both AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. Both were full of flavor. The charro beans, refried beans, rice, and enchiladas were great. All very flavorful. I would eat here again. The waiter was very polite and very attentive. The atmosphere was quiet. The dining area was very clean.

    Took the wife for Valentine's. The red salsa & creamy green salsa with the tortilla chips were both full of flavor as usual. I had the Pacifico Shrimp and wife had the beef fajitas. Both were excellent. Service was good and food came out hot and fresh just like I like it. A little loud by the bar so next time I will ask for a different table.

    Service wasn't too great when I came on a Monday night (May 6). Maybe this server was kinda new. Food still taste very good. Food Came out quick but took forever when I needed to ask for more tortillas. They gave me an option for free chalupa or tostada but then server said they can't honor the free chalupa . Caught me off guard after he asked me which one I wanted. Barely refilled our drinks and it was kind of annoying. Still will give this location another chance bc Gringos is my go to Tex-Mex

    I like details so this will be long-ish (mostly for the owner and managers to see.) Just got back from Sugar Land River Park Gringos 7/13/24. It's 6:41pm. Party was 4, myself (mom) my husband and two daughters. (11 and 16). Suggestion: Please tell your hostess to wash her hands in the bathroom for 30 seconds before returning to work. What I saw today was nasty. But she's a hostess, so I didn't say anything. Rest of the restaurant: I always have an amazing time at this Gringos. But today blew me away. The food was above and beyond delicious. I don't know who's A team was in the back cooking but they were on it this evening! The bar made me a watermelon margarita. It was with the basic taquilla and still they somehow made it taste top shelf. I had it on the rocks and it was the best margarita I've had in a LONG time. The managers made frequent rounds making sure the tables were good and the wait staff didn't need extra assistance. Everyone was on their game. It was what you'd expect from a 5 star restaurant! All that was amazing but the person who prompted me to write this review was our writer Josh. I use to be a Hooter girl and I'm now a school psychologist. I say this to say I know how to wait tables and I know how to watch people's behaviors. Josh was so on it. Food was out fast and hot. Two bites two minutes, he's rushing over asking how is everything tasting!? Constantly attentive, never let our drinks go dry, every time he came to the table he either was delivering or taking something out of the way. Many times he looked over at our table while waiting on another table to avoid disturbing us but still stayed attentive. He pre bused the table at the end. It was all of that and more. I have not had service this good in a long, LONG time. I have gone to SEVERAL high end and wanna be high end "Instagramable" restaurants where I'm paying $85 a plate or a tab for just myself alone hits around $110. The food and especially the service are no where near as good at those places as we had today at Gringos. Bravo and hats off to Mr. Joshua. I don't know what you plan on doing moving forward in the future but if you can split your attention and wait on several different people's wants and needs getting them right at the same time, and with a smile on face, take it from a former Hooter girl lol you're going to make big things happen. Keep it up! I'll be requesting Josh next time I go to Gringos.

    Listen, this place is AMAZING !!!!! Probably the best Mexican food in the area. Come here for a cozy fun vibe that is family and KID friendly. Service is stellar , our server was Eduardo he was fantastic. The green and red salsa was a hit with my 1.5 year old kid who was dipping her fingers in it and licking it off ! I got the vegetable fajitas ! My baby girl ate the vegetables, side of black beans and guac that came w it. My husband got the chicken fajitas which he loved as well - it's chicken sitting on a bed of grilled onions. The only thing is that the drinks aren't strong and the grande marg is def not worth the price compared to regular marg. Just ordering 2 of the regular ones is the better option. We are new to the area and have found out GO TO local Mexican restaurant ! So happy !!!

    The ribeye tacos are so flavorful!!They come with side of ranchero and guacamole sauce and lime but honestly you don't need them as the tacos are full of flavor without it . I asked for cooked onion instead or raw bc eww- never raw onions and they were still so, so good! Can't really give them 5 stars bc I came after lunch rush hours (2:00 pm) sat at the bar and had to wait 9 minutes to be greeted after I was seated. Luckily happy hour starts at 2 so I had me a Cadillac marg and it really was loaded with tequila! Im thinking the bartender felt bad for me since I waited so long. My plate came with rice and a choice of charro or refried beans. Had charro and they were good. The rice was also surprisingly good. This place has complementary soft serve ice cream. Didn't have room for it but it's for sure a nice treat to add to your meal.

I would be stunned if you were disappointed. The food is also good. Often you find a place with good drinks but the food isn't so great. Not the case here. I've had the steak quesadillas, the steak fajitas, & the fajita burrito. All good! I was so excited about this new find that I made 7 family members meet me for happy hour and everyone loved both the food & drinks.

This goes to tell you how popular the restaurant is amongst the locals. Despite being full when we arrived, we were still seated relatively quickly (within 10 minutes).

It was a large meal for a group of three, and we were all savoring every bite. The food was so good that I completely blanked on taking pictures of it before we devoured the plates.

I also caught two tables nearby with birthday celebrations, which added to the festive vibes in the restaurant.

Our waiter came by the table multiple times and interrupted our conversations while asking the same question: how is everything going?
