Stopped in here while in town for a recent business trip. Had some down time so we took the opportunity to visit some family and grab a bite to eat. This place is a regular stop for our family member, so we gave it a shot. The decor is great, it has a really fun, funky vibe that mixes Mexico with the local Arizona / Route 66 vibe. I found it to be really fun. Our wait staff was very friendly as well. We started off with the Guacamole Bowl, because any time I see fresh made guac on a menu, I'm going there first. It was very good, the flavor was very fresh and bold. Since I'm a sucker for a good Relleno, I ordered the Chili Rellenos. The menu says "try them the LGL way" so I figured I'd give it a go. Really great flavor, highly recommend this one. The wife went with her typical "side order Chicken Chimichanga", because she doesn't eat much and doesn't need the rest of the platter. She was very happy with it and enjoyed it as well. Overall this was a great dining experience. I would gladly stop back in next time I'm in town. read more

The grilled chicken tacos were delicious. Huge portions of grilled chicken. Complimentary chips and salsa were delivered moments after sitting down. Service was fast and friendly. Fun atmosphere. Patio area for outdoor dining. They also have a large variety of beer wine and spirits. read more

The food was all right. It wasn't bad but wasn't great. The server was friendly and helpful. Even made sure I got my to-go order taken care of quickly. The outside seating area was good except we were sat next to the door leading to the smoking area so we'd get whiffs of the smoke from time to time. That definitely killed some of my appetite. So, the food might've been better than I thought. I did get the combo with a tamale and burrito enchilada style. I don't know that I'd go again but it was very popular and busy. read more

I was surprised by the quality of the food. It was fresh and tasted home cooked. The guy who brought out our food, Talon, homie reminds me of the 90s. We are obviously around the same age cuz im still in the 90s too in a lot of ways. Super chill tho and great energy from that guy. Our waitress tho....omg. Her name is Ana. She put me on to some food and drinks and was generally just a pleasant person. U could tell she works hard and does her best to do right by every table. Ana u are SEEN! I SEEN the way u hustled for ur tables. U are an asset to that place. I know abundance is on its way to u. The fountain at the back is my spot. I love being by the birds. The drinks be slappin....bar tender is gifted. Best Grey goose lemon drop martini in AJ. These guys are cool people. Real authentic people with dope souls, ya know? Anyway go eat here. Its a welcome surprise in the community. Thank u! read more

The pic is their version of a grilled chicken taco. Well, it was disgusting. Looks like it was scraped out of the trash bin. My husband totally lost his appetite. The server(Anna, I believe) did show concern and asked if he wanted anything else. She thankfully took the item off our bill. We will not be returning. read more

Each time I come here I enjoy it more & more & try something different, so tonight it was a 2 item combo plate consisting of a pork taco, guacamole tostada, rice, & beans with a raspberry iced tea to drink. Very tasty! My waitress was Michelle & she was awesome & so nice! It was busy but not loud! Perfect ambiance for a Taco Tuesday! read more

We just went back again. New menu. The service was fine, but food is still tasteless.

I wouldn't feed this to an enemy's dog. Really bad food. Don't waste your money. This must be some "New York" interpretation of Sonora. Service might be passable, depending on the person you get. It's hit or miss. At least the decorations are festive... too bad we can't eat the ambiance. Tips, hire a Mexican cook to make your salsa's and sauces. If you already have one, fire them and get one with taste buds. read more

Ordered $200+ catering order for a family Xmas dinner. Prepaid. Went to pick up at the designated time and got blank stares. They began making it then but dinner was late causing us to have to eliminate & reschedule other activities. And we had 11 hungry grandkids & 6 upset parents. Not the first time we've had issues with their catering. Won't be using them in the future. read more

Had family in town that were staying in Apache Junction. I had heard AJ has some great restaurants. We decided to try Los Gringos Locos and we were not disappointed. It was a Saturday and it was packed when we got there. Our server came over pretty quick and got our drink order. I ordered a cheese enchilada and a shredded beef taco with rice and beans. They serve their enchiladas with a dark red sauce that I'm always looking for. My husband ordered the Diablo enchilada and he said it was very good. The other two ordered the mini chimi with platter and carne asada street tacos which they said were very good. The prices are great. Our bill came to just over $70 (no alcohol this time round) which we thought was great. Their portions are decent size and no one went home hungry. We have a couple fav Mexican restaurants but this one beat them all. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience!!! read more

This restaurant was recommended by our doctor's office. Very clean and well decorated. My husband had the 2 enchiladas combo (with rice&beans). Ground beef and green chili pork. Very flavorful. I had the mini chimichangas appetizer. It had 6 mini chimichangas- 2 each of bean in a flower tortilla, beef in a wheat tortilla & chicken in a tomato basil tortilla. They had cheese, lettuce and tomatoes on top served with sour cream and guacamole. Service was quick. Can't wait to go back and try another dish. read more

What a crazy Monday! So after spending $300 on grocery shopping we were to tired to cook so we decided that we wanted to eat out. We were looking to try someplace new and what a bust nothing was open on Monday here in the NE vally you would've thought the food industry was on strike or something? So while we were out in AJ we just happened to stumble across this place and if my eyes weren't seeing things we saw a ton of cars in the parking lot here so we decided that we would give it a shot. The place was super busy inside including the bar area we just happened to grab the last two open seats at the bar because the cold weather outside on the patio was a definite deal breaker for us. The bar tender i have to give kudos to his patients with the seniors and their 101 questions about Mexican food and what's in it took a few extra minutes but I didn't mind the wait. I ordered the beef tamale and beef taquitos combo it came with beans and rice. Now the beef tamale was steamed to perfection. The beef to masa combination was perfect and the beef itself was super tender as well as in the taquitos. The beans were nice and creamy and I can't complain about the rice either. My boyfriend ordered the pork and green chili burrito that had nice tender bites of pork. However I wished that the green chili sauce itself was a little spicier it lacked in the spice department for my taste. This was a good experience for us especially for trying a new place to eat. They have a nice outdoor patio area with a fountain that you can enjoy during The warmer weather and it's perfect for your larger parties of people. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a long time. So glad we did! Had the fajita platter with shrimp and steak and it was amazing. Had to take half home so much food!!!! Really good food service and atmosphere. Our server asked if we wanted a fresh iced tea to go and we were happy campers Definitely will be back. They even offer breakfast! read more

We visited some family and I have never been to Arizona before, and I was really curious how Mexican food was in the Southwest. So delicious! The salsa had a little kick to it and I always order some sort of an enchilada and this chicken and spinach enchilada was perfect. I accidentally ate too quickly, it was so delicious. It was the perfect stop on our way to Tortilla Flat! I will save this place for the next time we come by and visit family. read more

The chips and salsa were the best part of this lunch. The salsa was just right and the chips are light and delicious. I ordered the chicken tostada but was surprised it does not have any refried bean as a base? Weird. Luckily the chicken was tasty but next time I will make sure they put beans on my tostada! Hubby enjoyed the green chili corn tamale with beans and rice. Our server was too busy. read more

Amazing food! Friendly Service! Cool and fun ambiance. Inside and patio are so welcoming. Prickly pear margarita is a must!! Salsa is my fav as well!!! Bartenders were hilarious and fun as well! read more

Food was horrible. Waitress never checked on us once, we had to flag down another server to help us. The margaritas were warm and slosh and supposed to be frozen. For the prices they charge , one would think they would serve quality food. Will not be back read more

We have been here several times now, as it is close to our RV Resort. Consistently good food, great service and fast service. The place was packed on a Friday afternoon, but everything still went smoothly and everyone in our party of 8 was happy with their meal. We will keep coming back. The Margaritas were delicious and the loaded nachos plate was huge. read more

Excellent food and service. We had to seafood enchiladas. Yum! The service was very good. Unfortunately, I did no get her name. We were in a party of twelve. read more

i've been out there a couple times ordered enchiladas. I had fried chimichanga with beef. A couple tacos. The meat of the chimichanga was over salted and had a really nasty taste that wouldn't leave my taste buds for several hours. The enchiladas were like eaten rubber. And the tacos I only had two bites of it. The only thing was good was the rice and beans that's why I gave a one star read more

Everything started off pretty good. Nice waitress...Chips were warm and salsa , got our drinks........ok,,,not bad,,,,doable.........People come in after us...get their drinks............waiting...................waiting.......food comes to people after us.........waiting...........finally had to say something.. Waitress goes back....waiting.........Food comes. Right off the eggs are not over medium they are over easy like raw easy..I know they rushed it.....Beans not even hot......Red sauce on enchiladas , none to see.Total disappointment. Remind you we come here almost every week,,,. Manage Ricky comes over and expresses his apology (although it felt rather condescending...) and removes the meal and says we will remove the meal from our ticket. Also met the owner Mitch a couple of times. Got a vibe that the guy has a bad taste for seniors.....Got the check no discount...Paid and we will never go to this place. Had a similar experience last time but did not say anything. Get rid of the son in law manager........he has no humility ....did not build the business and it shows ........Actually I would say a punk kid running the show. Adios Gringos,,Pendejos............... read more

Great food and service! They have a large choice menu. Try their combos. The prices are very reasonable.

Starts out with our hostess & server in Costume for our lunchtime visit (We stopped in on Halloween, and all staff were dressed for Dia de los Muertos. Gorgeous Makeup and accessories! My 4yr old grandson was very taken with the makeup and she was so polite & sweet to him the entire visit! Even served his food a bit sooner than myself and the other 2 Adults I was dining with. He wanted the carnitas street tacos, rice, bean burrito, and i was a bit worried he wouldn't eat it all, so we shared and everything was fresh, and so delicious! My husband had the 3 cheese enchiladas and they were huge! My Mother in Law had the burrito w a side of rice, and honestly i had THE BEST spanish rice EVER. And believe me at nearly 60 yrs old, living a few hrs from the AZ/MEX border, I've probably eaten POUNDS AND POUNDS of the stuff. I would literally JUST eat the rice in a huge bowl all by itself! To end our meal, our server brought my grandson his first piece of Halloween candy for this year! His eyes nearly popped out of his head!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! read more

This place has got to be the WORST restaurant out there. On top of their terrible food and raw dessert (Flan) they CHARGE you for the tip,($39 to be exact) where you have no choice but to pay it, I was looking forward to a good fajita plate and the only thing I got was a bunch of raw veggies with a bland chicken (the only thing hot was the skillet) nobody got refills on their drinks because there was only two servers running the whole restaurant. Save your money and go somewhere else where they actually earn the tip. If I had the option I wouldn't give it any starts. read more

I really wanted to like this place but the food just didn't have that traditional or actual Mexican vibe and flavors. There's definitely room for improvement read more

This has been a local eatery for years. I've been a few times the last several years, and the food quality has improved greatly since my initial review. Love there are a couple veggie options. The service is always very friendly, and love when they recognize my dad and me. Overall, the atmosphere is not too loud and pretty comfortable. read more

My wife and I were wanting to try a different Mexican restaurant and we decided to drive down Apache Trail and go to Los Gringos Locos. I ordered the Chicken Chimichanga. Enchiladas style. The enchiladas sauce was a different taste than what I am used to and it had a little spicy taste to it. The chicken was moist and tasted good, as did the rice. My wife ordered the Veggie Pizza and it was loaded with toppings and my wife said it tasted great. To get to this restaurant you have to drive through Apache Junction and the restaurant is on the right so it's a little drive if you don't live in the far east valley. There's a separate dining area from the bar side, there's also an outdoor dining section. All in all we will come back. read more

Food was great... service was AWFUL, we went and ask the host when we would be seated since we had two kids and had been waiting about 20 min.. he said idk when people are done chewing their food. We finally got serviced wait 5-8 min before asking if we could get drinks not even waters. The waitress said oh I've been so busy I've already got 10,000 steps in for the day and was totally rude. Before she came back with our drinks she helped another table before us. We order a margarita and she's said waiting on the bartender, we got our food before that and had to cancel the margarita. It seems like a very local place and they only catered to the locals and not to tourist... read more

Stopped in here for the first time for a snack and some drinks. We will definitely be back! Chips and salsa are fresh and tasty, queso dip was delicious and the margaritas were fabulous! Sam was our server, and she was a real delight!! Sidenote - our four-year-old kiddo chowed down a crispy chicken taco off the kids menu. She ate every last bite! It was GOOD!! The vibe in here is fun, bright and cheery! Give it a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

My review is limited to what I had last week when five of us were in the area and tried this restaurant for the first time. It was early so I only ordered a bean cheese burrito. It looked lonely on the plate with a tiny amount of shredded lettuce. It was smaller than most places serve but it did have recognizable cheese which is often not obvious in other burritos I have eate recently. The waitress was on top of things and kept our salsa, chips and drinks full. She also brought two bowls to start! The standard salsa was for 'gringos locos' but she brought us small containers of a real salsa which had a good punch. When added to the mild sauce, this was a good combination! I forgot to take any pictures except for the starter chip and salsa. The establishment was clean and roomy. My companions did comment that their dishes were good so if there is a next time I will try something more substantial. read more
