    OHHH MY GOODNESS! This place, this place! Saved.My.Heart. My high school classmates & I ended up here after burying one of our own. And we're just 57! But Rico's, without knowing, loveddd on us! Gave us incredible service, delicious food and ON POINT margaritas! (And I should know! Growing up Catholic, I've been drinking for a while! ) I'm definitely coming back! 10 out of 10 GRAND!

    Molcajete
    Diana S.

    The molcajete was a bit too salty for me. It was more than enough for one person. The service was great. The waitress was attentive.

    Beef Tostadas

    This was the most basic food I've ever had. I can't believe they are calling it Mexican! This is NOT Mexican! Let's start with the salsa.. tastes like Pace salsa from the jar at your local Kroger. I ordered the guacamole to even it out and that was made with white onions .. and also very bland. The chips were good but they tasted like the brown bag from the grocery store. I ordered the steak "mexi- tacos" and the steak was super bland, maybe they used a little salt but that's about it. My tortilla was hard though. The pico de gallo tasted like it was from Publix. (Which is down the street from the restaurant) lol. I pretty much drenched the taco in Tapatio to give it some flavor. My partner ordered the beef tostadas and it had way too much cheese and lettuce with a big glob of sour cream, which i might add tasted like the cheap Food Depot brand. I got a side of rice in which the waitress told me it was Mexican "fried rice". That was nasty. Not Mexican and just plane ole disgusting. Kind of reminded me of day old Zatarans. For drinks we ordered a Coke and Sprite and it literally had a sour after taste to it we ended up getting the glass bottle Coke and a Jarritos. Overall i gave this place a 2 star because the service was great and the chips were decent. Other than that i really do not recommend you waste your time eating here. Inside the restaurant looked outdated and dirty.

    Taco Tuesday. Found this place on Google maps and decided to give them a try. It looks like a hole in the wall spot and my boyfriend and I were a little skeptical, lol, but we went in anyway. There was a family in front of us and then we were seated. We sat in a booth and I located a couple menus to use rather than our phones. I ordered a mango Texas margarita and he ordered a peach Texas margarita. Both were delicious and if I had reviewed the menu I would've suggested ordering a pitcher. They had quite a few veggie options and I asked for veggie tacos and a side of black beans while my bf got salmon tacos. The chips weren't that good but the salsa was and had a little kick to it. My veggie tacos were loaded with veggie and I appreciated that. I thoroughly enjoyed em. Beans were good. I tasted the salmon and it had a nice char to it. My bf enjoyed his tacos and said they were flavorful. The staff sang happy birthday to me with dessert nachos which were good and not overly sweet. Ambiance was chill with low light and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I definitely recommend giving them a try!

    2 Chicken enchiladas with Verde sauce, refried beans, rice, chips and salsa

    I came here from a Google suggestion because the Mexican restaurant I usually go to was closed. I was greeted upon entry and my to go order was placed right away. Very friendly server she was so nice. It wasn't crowded inside when I first arrived but many more people arrived while I was waiting for my order. The server brought my food to my car and said Happy New Years. I thanked her and drove off but the food smelled so good I had to open the chips and salsa. The chips were still warm and the salsa was fresh and not spicy at all. The enchiladas were ok. I would have liked more verde sauce and a little spice. My favorite was the refried beans. I normally don't even eat them but these were delicious. I have to go back and try some other menu items. Overall it was good.

    Sooo this place was recently closed for renovation and recently have opened back up for business. Honestly I didn't know if I was in an Italian place or Mexican. It's a typical Tex mex spot featuring your fajitas, quesadilla, nachos and queso blanco. We came on a Tuesday night not too busy. Parking is spacious and drinks vary from your giant margarita to sangria. Our server was great. Food came out fast. I ordered the Texas fajitas and my husband the chicken. Overall it's a great spot for neighborhood "Tex-mex" food. If you're craving it it's definitely there. The pica pica salsa is super spicy! Also sangria was good. I got enough food for 2 but I ordered a single. The only thing they don't give you with fajitas is a scoop of guacamole.

    The food is basic. They get a crowd on Saturdays. Free gravel parking lot. Folks seemed to enjoy their cocktails. I've had better Mexican food. The white queso & tortillas were nothing special & more like something I could get from Kroger's for a night at home. The waitress was friendly & the food was served hot. The karaoke was the best part of this restaurant. Folks really get into the karaoke & have fun!

    This place is okay only if you like Americanized Mexican food. I order three taco supreme's and was very disappointed on how they came out

There were 12 of us, and from the moment we sat down, the service was attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating to our large group. The food was amazing across the board. We ordered a variety of dishes including sizzling fajitas, flavorful carne plates, Hawaiian chicken, burritos, shrimp cocktail, and of course plenty of cheese dip for the table. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The fajitas were perfectly seasoned and served sizzling, the carne plates were tender and well-portioned, and the Hawaiian chicken had a great balance of savory and sweet. The burritos were packed and satisfying, the shrimp cocktail was fresh and refreshing with the perfect kick, and the cheese dip was smooth, creamy, and hard to stop eating. The ambience did not disappoint either. The decor was nice and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere that made the celebration feel even more special. Overall, Gambino Mexican Grill delivered great food, excellent service, and a comfortable setting. It was a wonderful place to celebrate, and we'll definitely be back.

I'm Salvadoran and Mexican, was raised in California. So I'd say I was raised with some pretty good authentic cooking (my mom's cooking is A1 though)on the West coast lol. Bob Marley drink was made with tequila, so I went for it vs trying the mojito and it did not disappoint. I don't try my son's tacos, but they looked tasty. Price was more than some places I've seen, but good for the quality of service and food on a nice dinner out. I'll definitely be back if I do end up moving here. Ambience was good, they placed good music and idk why we selected to sit outside in this June weather, but it wasn't a bad choice anyway.

I sat at the bar since I was alone and did not get any service until I got up to ask for it. Lupa comes over with her arms folded and stands in front of me. She did not ask if I needed help or water. I asked her if I could have a menu to break the silence. She handed me a menu and never identified herself. The rest went downhill real fast. The Service was horrible, and I will never step foot in this restaurant again. There are too many Mexican restaurants in this area for me to deal with poor service that I have to pay for. Lupa do better because you will never get an opportunity again to treat me as if I am irrelevant. The Manager was deflecting and explaining the bad behavior, which is unacceptable. I completely understand why the ratings focus on the poor customer service. I was warned and chose to give them a chance which is completely my fault. Never again!! The food is decent!

    I love to look through the reviews and see what people complain about....no salt on the chips, I…read moredon't like a lot of salt so I'm grateful, plus there's a whole ass shaker on the table. Expensive margaritas...you obviously have not been to the new Hacienda by Costco where they rip you off! Workers in a Mexican restaurant not speaking great English...ITS A MEXICAN RESTAURANT!!it's bound to happen get over yourself. We came in for lunch on a Tuesday and we were greeted promptly with chips and a menu. The server came quick and we ordered our drinks and food right away. The food came out in about 5mins and was just as it was advertised. I like the food here better than most but I do agree the margaritas are not as good as other places. Is this the perfect place, no, but it's not the worst around town. I can see a lot of you reviewers have never worked in the food industry based on your silly emotion filled reviews that really don't equate to the lack of stars you give, but such is life when everyone has a voice.
