The grumpy gringo is a go to neighborhood spot. This place is great to drop into and order some tacos or your favorite Mexican meal while grabbing a cold drink. Make sure to ask for the homemade hot sauce tray, these are some awesome sauces. We love going to sit at the bar and grab a quick bite to eat and watch a game. Also I could swim forever in their queso! Check out the grumpy gringo! Birria Tacos - 8.3/10 Burrito Gringo (get it wet) - 8.1/10 Chips, Salsa, Queso - 9.7/10 Hot Sauce Tray - 9.8/10 read more

Would've gotten a 4 star but too much grisel in the carne asada taco and nacho meat. But I would come again. Portions are generous and my strawberry margarita was really good. Nachos were full of fresh crispy chips and covers with queso and sour cream. I like salsa but the sauce was good and there are 4 choices of heat to choose what you like. read more

Great options, delish Mexican food. Has wifi, servers are great. Have specials throughout the week, very old school vibes and has music.

Although I only got takrout (okay more than once) I love this fast and causal Mexican restaurant! The burritos (2) even without beans which unfortunately my daughter doesn't like where huge and more than enough for leftovers. I really love the option to smoother them in cheese which just adds another dimension to the flavor. Their salsa is fresh and a bit peppery bit good flavor overall. I love their chips too which are homemade! I would encourage you to stop in they also have greatdeals on Taco Tuesday! read more

We are big fan - our favs the birria, their meat is so tender & flavorful. My honey had barbacoa burrito- it was really good he said. This time I had soft corn tacos with the birria meat so delicious. They accommodate to my gluten free needs. We love their corn chips so much better than other Mexican restaurants in the area. The salsa today was extra chunky, so good! Service is always great. The decor is fun & hip., cool vibe. We highly recommend & will be back. read more

We ordered UberEats from here after a long night helping out at an event. So grateful this was open and was taking delivery orders because we were starving. We did have a few issues with the uber but not because of the driver, but apparently the area that this business was in had terrible signal so he was experiencing some technical difficulties. We ordered some birria tacos which they were having a special on for BOGO when we ordered. We also got some chips to go with our order. When it got there, the greasy goodness refueled us. I'm not sure if I was super hungry or if it was genuinely really good but overall a good experience. Sometimes greasy food doesn't do so well after delivery but it was good when we got it! The chips seemed a little stale but were still pretty good. Overall, a solid spot to order from but beware of possible delivery delays. read more

I ate at Grumpy Gringo this past weekend for lunch. I ordered a Taco Salad, chorizo. The food came out fast and the portion size was good! I like the lettuce in the salad. They have a self service sauce bar, so I added some mild sauce to my taco salad. I was able to finish half of it at the restaurant and now I have leftovers for an easy meal! read more

Ordered 2 portobello veggie tacos and this is what I got. I go to this place often I asked them to replace them "next time". When I went to place a new order and get them replaced the manager said I was lying and "we don't do that"! Here's a picture of the tacos they gave me. To the manager who was disrespectful to me in front of my kids, you're the reason I'm never coming back and telling everyone in the area this place is a joke! read more

Taco Tuesday for the win!!! Well worth the money and busy nonstop but food is fresh and prepared swiftly. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have a bar area to sit too. TV's on the wall. Garlic jalapeño sauce is my favorite but all of them are delicious. They actually sell tubes of it online and in store. Vegan options are abundant. They have portabello mushroom tacos for Taco Tuesday and they even carry vegan cheese. read more

We're visiting from New York and decided to try this place and man I'm glad we did! Me and my lady ordered the nachos and cali burrito, portion was huge they hooked it up big time! Quality was great but the best part of this whole experience was our server, her name is Britt and gave us 10/10 service. She was passionate and knowledgeable about the entire menu and such a pleasant lady thank you Britt! read more

Decent food but unacceptable disrespect. I was next to multiple regulars. But the bartender was looking for a fight. Upon expressing my opinion I was told to leave were a lot of aggression. read more

Great tacos. They have several salsas that are intriguing, too. Bar makes good margaritas.

What can I say other than the food was good. Tacos are my go to when trying out a Mexican restaurant for the first time. If they get that right then they got me. Mines were very tasty and I didn't need to add any sauces. Hubby ordered the nachos and that was a super order. Definitely a sharing portion. Will be back and looking forward to trying out other items. read more

Had Martin the bartender serve us on taco Tuesday. Phenomenal service. Quick and efficient!! Margaritas were amazing and food was delicious! Sat outside enjoyed the ambiance ! Thank you so much. read more

This is a great Mexican spot, although not authentic, it's a delicious spot. My favorite part is how their basic margarita is better than most, in taste, price, and how strong they are. You really get your bang for your buck here. I've only been here twice and both times ordered the crispy fish tacos. They are delicious and I crave them. I don't even normally order fish tacos, but here they are so good and light. The queso here is delicious too, and there chips and salsa are good too for this being a gringo spot. I also love the outdoor patio that includes half the bar. The music they play here is great, awesome vibes here! Will be back again ! read more

Martin is the best!!! We have been taken care of by him every time we've come in and he never fails!

Love the name. Great menu. Stopped by for a bite as we were in the area working. The name caught our eye so we gave it a try. Parking lot at the end of the strip and is pretty full and tight for a full Size extra cab pickup. This is a walk up and order type place where they give you a number and they bring the food out. Not a lot of inside seats but there are more outside. Place could use a good deep cleaning. Neat decor with old western movie flyer wallpaper up in the area where we set. No one was overly friendly but that is ok as we were there to eat. I ordered the three shrimp tacos. They were very large and covered with a very generous amount of cheese. They had salsas available up front with descriptions. I mixed the jalapeno mayo and the mild red salsa and it was delicious on the shrimp tacos. The tacos needed some spice as they were a bit bland without it. read more

The service is always quick, even when there is a line during the lunch rush. The food is always fresh and consistent. My favorite is the #2 combo - 2 tacos with rice and beans. I get chicken hard tacos with no beans. It's the perfect portion for me and flavor. I have also had the taco salad and chips with queso previously and they are good as well. I like the variety of meat options, from traditional Mexican meats to vegan. The mini hot sauce bar is a plus. The added outside seating is a nice plus. Everyone I've brought here loves it! It's my go to Mexican place in St. Pete. read more

Yummy basic Mexican food. Asked the server to grill the cheese on burrito but I don't think he understood me because I got a burrito covered in liquid queso instead... still good but not enough to feel the draw to come back. More like a if theres nothing else around option. read more

I thought this was one of the funniest names for a restaurant so I thought I'd check it out! Restaurant design is pretty creative I'm not gonna lie. The staff were chill too. The food was alright, maybe for someone who's never been to the west coast, Texas or Mexico they may like it more than me but I thought the tacos were okay. I ordered two barbacoa tacos and two lengua. They come loaded with a lot of other stuff like sour cream and I think corn but I just got the cilantro and onions. First thing I look at when I get tacos is the tortilla. Is it made in house or does it at least taste like it's made in house and sadly it didn't have the appearance or taste of a freshly made taco tortilla. Now the portion size for the prize was a tad expensive in my opinion. The sauces they had on hand were absolutely delicious tho. Full of flavor and they had a good amount of variety. read more

The food was delicious but the bartender was so rude to me. I wanted a glass of club soda, was told to go to the machine and I couldn't find the club soda, so I just asked the bartender to fill my cup for me. She gave me half a cup of club soda. I tried to go to the machine again to fill it and she scolded me. She told me "use your words" like I was a child. read more

I can't believe that I've never reviewed this place as it is one of my favorite places to eat in St. Pete. Before I moved here, I would visit often. When this place was TacoSon, I absolutely loved it and would stop here almost every trip. When I moved here, I noticed that it is now called Grumpy Gringo. My heart sank, where will I find another place that specializes in Sonoran food? My fears were relieved when I walked in and the menu (at the time) was almost identical. The phenomenal home made salsas were also the same! I absolutely love their chipotle chicken, and order it in various applications (usually a number 2 or 3 combo). Their nachos are absurdly huge, so if I'm real hungry, I'll go with that. Their daily specials are all delicious as well. They have home made agua frescas that are also very good. I alternate between horchata and the pineapple one. Seriously, one of the best places for Tex-mex / Northern Mexican food in the area. read more

In the area and needed to grab some lunch. This was my first time at this establishment. It's a walk up counter where you order your meal and drink. They give you a number and bring you your food. There is a bar where you can sit inside or outside in the patio. Was promoted served when entering. I ordered a bowl with shredded chicken, rice, beans, cabbage, tomatoes and cheese. The first few bites were good. However as I went on to eat I feel a salt overload. If I had a bite that didn't have beans it, I felt it was very dry. So I decided to try the jalapeño garlic salsa and the medium salsa. Didn't care for them. The portion size is very good. I could of shared this with someone. I would give this spot a try again by ordering something else. read more

I like grumpy gringo. I've never had a bad experience here. I have had some meals that were better than others but always at least decent. Today I thought it was very good, Much better than usual. The inside is cute and they have nice bar area inside and outside as well. I've ordered from uber eats the last couple times and it was still pretty good. read more

Yep this is a gringo Mexican rest.....food is a knock off white wash mex food straight out of a plastic bag, ordered a burrito and asked if it came with rice and beans in it and it did but on the side , so I would have to take it apart to put it inside, geeze what kind of burrito doest come inside specially when asked to do so......tortilla is cold as well as the cabbage....so it's a cold burrito as well by the time u get it's all cold so the taste is like an uncooked lump of cabbage and cold meat....nasty taste like eating paper mache....place is too gringo for me, Chile verde near there is more authentic food, their tacos are great real mex flavor, try the trips tacos with beer ! read more

Stopped into the Grumpy Gringo for lunch while out shopping. It was a solid choice for lunch. I loved the divey decor and the large variety menu. We ordered at the counter and waited for our food to arrive at our table. The server didn't see us sit down so we missed the chips and salsa. Our food took a little longer than we thought it would but it did arrive hot, fresh and delicious. They restaurant features a nice outdoor patio if you prefer to sit outside. It looked like there was a full bar as well but we did not order drinks. Will definitely try again. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I am discerning consumer and find this place to be outstanding in terms of flavor and value. My friends who do not live far from here introduced me to the Grumpy Gringo. Whenever I am in the area I must pick up takeout from there now. Dining is indoors and they have a cute little backyard patio seating area overlooking/adjacent to their ample parking lot. Check this place out, you will not be disappointed. read more

Grumpy Gringo is typically an Door Dash order of mine or a to-go order, so I can't really talk about the ambiance because I don't really spend much time inside, but I love the food. My favorite item of theirs are the nachos. Their nachos are a meal themselves. They are huge. Their chips are delicious. Whether they are plain, with salsa or in nacho form, they are stellar. I love their supreme tacos too with beef or chicken. I mean they are really putting Taco Bell to same with these ingredients since they are actually real. Even when I get the food delivered to me it doesn't taste stale or old. It tastes freshly made with lots of spices and a good kick to it. read more

Al Pastor Taco gets 5 stars. Yummy! Chicken Ranchero Burrito Gringo was WAY too salty, so gets 1 star. I've eaten a lot of Mexican/TexMex food over the years, and never has it ever been too salty! Too spicy, or maybe too bland, sure, but never too salty. I had the food delivered via Uber, so was not able to return it for recooking. read more

A good go to place I bring folks to when they're visiting in town. Nice shirts you can buy too! Grab yourself a Mexican bottled drink a plate and enjoy the good music and vibes. Usually busy when I go there, but I'd expect it when it's as good as it is. Big bonus: they're usually quick to bring your food out and have a nice indoor/outdoor bar area. read more

We got the birria tacos, and it was delicious! The tacos were flavorful and juicy. Service was very fast. The serving sizes were perfect! The salsa was a little too tomato-y and super chunky, we did wish it was a little spicy. This will definitely be our birria spot locally! read more
