    OUTSTANDING AUTHENTIC MEXICAN!! WHOA The atmosphere and employees are so inviting. This is by far a landslide

    If you're looking for a lively Tex-Mex spot that's perfect for groups, with delicious food, amazing margaritas, and incredible service, Gringo's is a great choice! The outdoor area is spacious with plenty of seating. The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a very inviting atmosphere. There are a lot of parking spots, although it can fill up quickly during busy hours. When I arrived, I waited about 35 minutes for a table for four. You can also join the waitlist online, which is a great option if you don't want to wait at the restaurant. We ordered the beef skirt steak fajitas and were super impressed with how flavorful and tender the meat was. For margaritas, we got the Cadillac margarita, pineapple margarita, and spicy sunset rita. Everything was delicious and refreshing! They also offer free ice cream, which is a nice treat to end the meal. Overall, we had a positive dining experience at Gringo's and would come back again!

    We've been coming in pretty much weekly especially since this location is right down the street and the Tex Mex rewards are really worth it!!! We told Lizzy we were celebrating our 20 year anniversary and she ended our dinner with this complimentary sweet treat- churros and they were great! Lizzy has to be the sweetest server we've had so far too.

    My fave! The fish tacos!

    Every time I come here I am never disappointed. Ordered the special bangin shrimp tacos today along with the chicken tequitos which I've never gotten before. Both were yum! The service was excellent as usual and the vibe with the music and company I had were great too! Overall you won't be disappointed anytime you come here. Highly recommend

    Fajitas
    Courtney S.

    This new location stays popping! Service, food, and the wait system were all amazing. We especially love their green sauce, as the salsa is just alright. The restaurant stays very loud, but the decor and atmosphere are so fun. Really happy to have a Gringo's in the Tomball area!

    It's was super packed for a Sunday night. The ambiance was lively and the decor was fun and bright. Went with a friend and we sat at the bar. There were several people taking care of the bar patrons and they did a terrific job. We ordered the Vera Cruz fajitas combo that comes with chicken, beef, and shrimp brioche w/ bacon and panela cheese. It comes with two sides (beans & rice) and we chose cilantro lime rice & black beans. It also came with tortillas, pico, and guacamole. We also ordered a plate of chicken taquitos from the appetizer menu. Would love to come back and try some of the other food. It was all tasty!

    We came in at 4pm and they were unable to sit two people?

    This is my first visit to Gringo's that my husband wanted to take me to. I am still waiting going on ten minutes now so we ended up leaving because my husband did not want to wait anymore for a table. No one said hi to us either. He said this is ridiculous we were the only people waiting. Thumbs down. We went to Lupe's tortilla great hostess's and seated immediately wow what a difference

    Salsa's.
    D.j. A.

    Took forever to get chips and salsa after they said be right back. The chip quality is good and crispy. Red Salsa is 4 out of 5 on the spice. Green salsa 3 out of 5 , mild avocado flavor. Marisco bowl amazing flavor. I recommend the black beans over the refried beans. The service improved after getting chips and salsa. Annie was a awesome server. Polite and professional.

    Amazing service from both Nic and Eduardo, and even though this place is packed with a wait-list, we were able to immediately sit at the bar, Huge Win for us ! I ordered a water with lemon, and guess what !? My server, Nic, remembered the lemon, we are on a definite roll. The chips and salsa, yet another treat, fantastic light and airy chips. I don't know how to explain this, everything is going great and they have only been opened about a month. The menu is your traditional Tex Mex fare, but again, our server was great at allowing me to tweak my order, different from other places that don't allow substitutions. Although TBH, all I did was change out an enchilada sauce on one of my enchiladas, but it was at Eduardo's suggestion. WtG Eduardo!!! I love the interior of the restaurant, and even the outside seating/ waiting area was tops. At this point, ther is little that can go wrong . OMG, we were just brought extra napkins without even asking for them. Eduardo is a rock star ! Well we must be on candid camera. We just got a table touch by a manager, or owner, his name was Aaron. Come on, where is the camera, because that is not the norm there days. We were offered drink refills, Nic remembered I wanted to place a to go order and to top off this amazing first visit to this location, they have A WORKING ICE CREAM machine. Yes, I said working. So, what would I have changed if I could have my druthers? Two things. A 'no cilantro ' bean option, for the huge population of us that 'cilantro tastes like soap' for, and a small bowl for the ice cream. I always only want just a tiny bit and I feel so bad for always wasting a cone. I do love the neon sign above us that says "Every Juan loves tacos"

    MARISCO BOWL combo with steak and chicken

    Food was great no complaints at all the atmosphere was amazing I definitely would recommend this restaurant to anyone. And the service was good always checked on us making sure if we was good or needed any refills.

Whether it's trendy or not, I'm happy to say that after 2 years away, I can now revisit Cava with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective. Most elements of this shop have remained the same over the years. Fast casual customizable product. Simple straightforward options with a Mediterranean twist. Fountain drinks with a few worth while additions. They are however mixing things up with glazed salmon, seasoned pita chips and something strawberry sesame for the summer. I won't detail the ordering process because if you've been to any restaurant of this type, you've been to them all, but I will say that even though there were a few hiccups in my order (the crew was replacing meats, but did not replace the salmon leaving me with older salmon, and my greens ended up on top leaving a pool of sauce at the bottom of my bowl after confusion around limited power greens), they're still worth the revisit. They were slammed after all and even with the hiccups I enjoyed my bowl and appreciate the ingredient transparency. Happy healthy eating out!

They were serving happy hour when we got there. I got a $3 Stella Artois and decided on half-off Sticky Wings. They were gluten free, so no breading and honestly, I prefer them that way. The skin was super crispy and the sauce was almost asian flavored with a side of what I assume tasted like an organic ranch. It was really good nonetheless. For our entrees, I decided on the White Chicken Parm which consisted of "pan-seared chicken, lightly crusted with lemon pepper parmesan; served with gluten free spaghetti pasta tossed with olive oil, homemade béchamel & white wine sauce with garlic, shallots, roasted tomatoes & parmesan; garnished with broccolini, parsley & grilled lemon." I used the grilled lemon atop the chicken and pasta for an extra lemony taste. YUM! Robbie chose the Way Bacon Burger which included "Heartbrand Akaushi Wagyu with sweet & spicy candied bacon, caramelized onions & raspberries, house-made pickles, lettuce, tomatoes & roasted garlic aioli on a brioche bun," however, he ordered without the bun, substitute lettuce wrap. There was a mix up and we ended up getting charged for the gluten free bun, but was promptly offered a refund or a dessert. We took the dessert! The dessert we chose was the Candy Cane Cheesecake. The consistency was almost like cookie dough, the crust was like a cookie and it was delicious. We left Bellagreen feeling good about what we ate, not feeling overly stuffed or guilty about it, Incredible staff and food, I can't wait to try their whole menu.

    I remember having a fairly good opinion of this bellagreen location in the past (before I had a…read moreYelp account), but my recent visit left a very unappealing impression. The self-service fountain drink area smelled strongly of mildew or old sponges, and the counter was very sticky and wet. I understand a mess during a lunch rush, but the lingering odor was a big turn off. I ordered a White Chicken Parm, and the chicken was unpleasantly rubbery in some areas- I regretfully had to spit out a piece, which I genuinely try not to do out of respect. Pasta was also too salty for my taste. The menu description also lists broccolini, but the reality was more of regular broccoli that was also soft to the point of being slightly mushy. I'm hoping the best for this restaurant, and also hope that this may have been an off day since there are recent good reviews; but in the meantime, I'll be exploring other Vintage Park options for lunch. - Ambiance: 2/5 - Food: 2/5 - Service: 4/5

Service was awesome and pretty efficient. The employee let me sample their different chicken options so I could taste the difference, since the menu didn't really explain much when I looked ahead of time. The K'Pop Chicken (cute pun) is a popcorn chicken version of Korean fried chicken with a sticky glaze that has a bit of a kick to it, while the Soy Glazed Chicken is (what I think is) their grilled option, which tastes exactly as it sounds. I definitely recommend the K'Pop chicken, but both were tasty. Ingredient options are fun but REALLY fusion-y... obviously, don't come here expecting any type of authentic experience. But I did love that the options for the base include japchae, since I don't have the opportunity to order this on this side of town. They have a fair drinks selection but I wish they could add a Korean-inspired option like sikhye if they really want to keep the theme cohesive. I don't foresee myself coming often since it's on the pricier side, but due to the convenience and variety, I will definitely be back again for future work lunches. - Ambiance: 4/5 - Food: 4/5 - Service: 5/5

They had an amazing assortment of fresh fruits, cheese, breads, salads, breakfast foods, dips, pasta, and veggies. They also had a carving station with steak and chimichurri sauce. I tried the chicken sausage, steak, beet hummus, tomato salad, whipped feta, biscuits with jam, and an assortment of the veggies & fruits. I also ordered over easy eggs and French toast which they make and bring to the table to keep them fresh but they were included in the buffet. After eating we walked around a bit to see the farm and the animals. Such a cute place for a date or a family outing. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely go back to try their normal menu.

Everyone with me enjoyed their meals as well. We shared a piece of hummingbird cake, it wasn't very good to be honest with you. I would not recommend it. It was moist, but didn't taste like a hummingbird cake. You order at the counter, and they bring your food to your table. Highly recommend and I definitely will go back, the menu is amazing so many delicious choices. It was very loud because it was very busy on a Friday at lunch. I had to park in the very back of the parking lot because it was so busy. If you wanted refills, you could get up and get them yourselves.

    Black Walnut is slowly becoming a place where you're paying for the ambiance and little else. We've…read morebeen coming here for years, but each visit gives us one less reason to come back. The food used to justify the price. Now it feels like the menu got a raise while the kitchen took a pay cut. Our order was entered correctly, yet a completely different dish showed up at the table. Thankfully, the manager was professional and fixed the mistake immediately easily the most impressive part of the meal. The coffee deserves special recognition for achieving the impossible: tasting like hot water that once made eye contact with a coffee bean. As for the service, our server never introduced herself, never acknowledged the mix up, and seemed determined to complete her checklist without interacting with the customers. A simple smile or "I think this might be the wrong order" would've gone a long way. Instead, we got the hospitality equivalent of an automated email.
