The food at Gringos is just about as bland as it gets. I've had one item from the menu that is alright, so when someone visits from out of town and wants a sit down "Mexican" restaurant in that part of Rexburg, that is my go to. Yes, there are a lot of conditions that would force me to go there, which just so happens to be the situation I was in last night.
There are several places in Rexburg with better Mexican food, and there are worse places as well. But as for Gringos, here is what the problems are:
1. Bland food. I have been here several times over the years that I have been going to school, and it never caught on to me how little taste the food actually has. Most of the things I have tried (save the one plate that I think is barely okay) has very little flavor. For example, the chips have no flavor at all and the salsa (quite possibly the easiest thing to make and sadly the only thing with flavor) does not taste good.
2. Bad service. Last night when I was there, the waitress must have been having a very bad day. She was unfriendly, did not even tell us her name, came by our table very little, and must not have listened to what we ordered because things came out wrong. read more
