Average, was good, really wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if a friend or family wanted to go I'd still go and eat here. If I could give a half star I would give it a 3.5 but not a 4. Quality was good, ordered the Durango Chile Relleno, probably gonna have to be within 25 feet of a toilet at all times....no Bueno read more

My family and I went there for breakfast today, and after asking our waitress why our meal is taking to long, she answered with "well we are not really a breakfast place" ok so why do you have a breakfast menu? And after our meal got there they forgot the pancakes and I had to actually go up to the counter and ask for it. The food is good, but servers need training. read more

The best! Excellent food, great service. Chips and salsa are the best! Staff is super friendly, and the back patio is so nice. Definitely recommend. read more

It was my first time here the other day w my bf and I wanted a filling meal. The menu looked pretty extensive so I was excited to try a new place. I got a chimichanga w shredded beef and my bf got a bean and cheese and shredded beef burrito, a churro and horchata. The tortilla chips were yummy and I liked the red and green sauce served with them was good as well. Those were served complimentary. Service however wasn't that great. The server didn't seem to know what a chimichanga was and had to ask someone else, but maybe she was new. The chimichanga was okay. It wasn't the delicious crispy fried goodness that I pictured in my head. The meat was good but not as tender and as flavorful as I'd have liked. The guacamole was yummy though. My bf said he didn't really like his burrito and said he wouldn't buy it again. I tried his burrito and found the shredded beef kinda tough and not soft, tender and falling apart like it should be? He found it strange they had whole beans in it and not refried beans as what he is accustomed to in most Mexican places. The churro tasted too sweet and the caramel flavor tasted somewhat plastic-y and artificial. The horchata was good. I would like to return to try other things but for this visit, the food was either hit-or-miss for us. read more

Wow, this place is so lucky that it has good food cuz the service is garbage!!!! I ordered 2 entrees and 2 kids bean and cheese burritos (no sides for those) and a 20 ounce salsa and my meal was almost $50!! I've never paid that much for Mexican food but I was willing to do so because I really do enjoy their food. I got in the car and on the way home opened the bag with the salsa to snack on some chips on the way home and I couldn't find any chips (apparently they were folded in a tiny paper sack next to the salsa cup to keep it from tipping, but that literally shows how little chips they give you) when I called to tell them they hadn't given me chips I was informed that they give you a TINY bag of complimentary chips but if you want more you have to buy an entire pound for $4 (I already paid $7 for my salsa) so if you don't want a pound then too bad, you only get the one tiny bag with literally 5 chips for your 20 ounce salsa . When I said I didn't get any chips the lady said I could come back and get two tiny bags. Yippee. When I walked in the door I was met with a lady shooting daggers out of her eyes and wanted me to turn around, go to my car and bring back all my food in so she could show me I did indeed get a bag of chips! SERIOUSLY???? I said absolutely not and I'm not leaving till I get more stupid chips. I can't even writing this review right now it all sounds so ridiculous she was like ok this one time I'll give you this extra tiny bag of chips but our salsa does not come with chips!!! I guess I should've told them they were the Lords chips...anyway, i am blown away. It's literally the least cost to a Mexican food restaurant to give chips. A large bag of chips would have solved the whole issue and wouldn't have cost the restaurant anything! But NO, instead they had to make the biggest freaking deal over a tiny bag of chips and turn a customer away forever. I refuse to give my money to this place, no matter how good the food is. It's not worth putting up with the crappy attitudes and service. read more

Went to eat here earlier tonight, the atmosphere is over all very drab and not very inviting. Our server was really kind, and the service was great. The food? Not so much. I ordered the pollo fundido, and it was all good until I received a surprise halfway through eating. A curly, short black hair in the lettuce/cabbage mixture in the middle of the plate. I was immediately disgusted. A few people at my table were grossed out as can be, my waiter asked me if i wanted a new one but I just couldn't savor that again. I ordered a fried icecream as a consolation treat, a safe bet. I was incredibly disappointed with the icecream. it was drowned in whip cream (not usually a bad thing;) but it did make the corn flakes very soggy and gummy, an unpleasing texture. Need less to say I will not be dining here again, save your money. read more

I just paid $49.18 total for home delivery of 2 of the worst Mexican meals I've ever been served. I ordered the Gecko Burro. It was a VERY LARGE flour tortilla to make it look bigger with a VERY SMALL serving of tasteless Mixed meat, pork & beef. The spinach cheese sauce over it was hard and cold. You could put the servings of bland rice and beans in a shot glass! The other meal was 7 UNDERCOOKED Fried Shrimp. Paid over 11 Bucks for 4 UNDERCOOKED Churro's. The chips that came with it were stale!Terrible meal! read more

Best tasting Mexican food. I've never ordered anything less than delicious! Service is great too! I wish they had more locations.

I absolutely love gecko grill. Their chips with bean dip and choice of salsas are amazing. I had the enchiladas (one chicken, one pork) with the green sauce and was very impressed. Our server was charming and funny and kept the chips coming. Every employee who walked by checked on us (Not always talking to us, but clearly checking to see if we were in need). I will be a regular here. read more

Good American Mexican food. Good salsas and service has always been good. Just all around solid place to go. Only go during lunch..

Love their chicken and shrimp tacos! I ordered mine with no cheese and doused it with their red salsa. Perfect amount of sweet and spicy since the shrimp tacos come w/ pineapple mango salsa on it. Their tortilla chips are not that impressive or I'd give 5 stars. read more

I love this place, I mean it rocks the taste. My gripe is the bean sauce (which is extremely addictive) so no issues there either. So this review is really about the bean dip. OK, so they charge .99 cents for each additional refill in the small cup, what bothers me is that you can place an order (that would come with bean dip in the dining area) but will not give you ANY bean dip if your order is to go. I find this a bit cheap on their part and was given no real explanation as to why. So I spend the same amount of money but no bean dip. Kind of feel like I am being penalized for taking an order to go. I will go back, the food is awesome but I will not spend any money on orders to go as I do not like lack of accommodation with my full combination meal. They know who I am and I love them all to death but this is a bit of a letdown. I bordered on a 3 star review but opted for the four. read more

This place is, average. It used to be my favorite Mexican food place, but their prices have increased for no apparent reason. My last visit was a bit disappointing which has earned it the 3 stars. The food was mediocre and the service did not exceed my expectations. If I have to find you for more chips and salsa, there's a problem. read more

We love the quality of food as well as the nice ambience of Gecko Grill. However, their customer service is seriously lacking. We have been there during the day when it was not crowded at all and during the dinner rush and you get the same service. I am really sad that they cannot get it together and appreciate there Customers. read more

My husband and I went on a friday night ...busy wait was 15 minutes not bad. We both already knew what we wanted reviewed the menu while waiting. The waitress was nice. Very busy place ...long wait for food. Ordered chimichangas and street tacos plate. My tacos were so salty one taco was cold wierd ! Although the food wasnt perfect i probably wont return due to not feeling well after eating here! read more

The 4 of us went there one evening for dinner as we were told that it was good Mexican food. The wait was only about 10 minutes. The restaurant is loud with lots of people having fun. But the talking seems to bounce off the walls. Not bothersome too much but just be prepared that it won't be quiet atmosphere. The server was super nice but I can't seem to remember her name. Felicia maybe? not sure that is right. Oh well, but she was super attentive and friendly. The margaritas are good but not heavy on the alcohol at all so for the price of them I would next time decline. The food was superb. I had the spinach enchiladas and they were really good. The burrito a friend had was super large and looked yummy. read more

This is an outstanding restaurant! The quality of the food is exceptional. The Fish Tacos are my favorite on the menu. The Mexican rice is made in the traditional manner and I like drenching it with their home made salsa verde. The chips are light and are great with the complimentary bean dip and fresh salsas. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly. A well run business. On warmer days, the patio is awesome. read more

Yummy yummy. Had the mango chicken quesadilla. Pleasant staff and surroundings. Lovely courtyard

My wife and I are very picky eaters. This place has been our favorite Mexican restaurant since they were off Gilbert Road. The food is amazing. Breakfast is great too if you've never had it here. read more

Delicious! You will not be disappointed here. We frequent this place and I haven't had anything I didn't like. I often get take out as well. Order is always quick and spot on. read more

It was packed but they were able to our party of 6 seated within 15 minutes, which is good especially for a Saturday night. Their chicken mango quesadilla is simply the best. Service is really good! read more

I have no idea how it took this place over half an hour to make my breakfast. I was in at an odd time, 10:30 in the morning. Due to the hour (between breakfast and lunch) I was actually the only customer. Yet it took a solid half hour for them to bring me the fairly simple eggs, beans and hashbrowns that constituted the menu selection that I ordered. I literally went through two bowls of salsa and one and a half bottles of Coke waiting. The food was okay (just okay), so it wasn't a total disappointment, but I surely wouldn't go back based on the experience. read more

Even if the food was good I'm giving one star. Our water glasses smelled like bad breath. You know, that smell of your floss when you haven't flossed in a week? Yeah, I know, it's gross. I'm guessing that the dish washer is kicking up rotting food on the dishes. Never going back. read more

This place is truly amazing. Great employees that are truly professional and very very good food. I highly recommend this place, and there is a reason they regularly stay busy. read more

My family loves this place, and has loved it since even before the owners bought it from its founder. My son and daughter are 30 and 28, respectively, and we've been dining (and lunching and, later, breaking our fasts) at the three locations they've inhabited since those now-adults were little children. The food is consistently great, non-fussy, and if they can ever get the barbecue going again, I'll have to figure out how to give 'em six stars! read more

Gecko Grill is one of my all time favorite restaurants. I grew up in Arizona, but moved away for college and haven't moved back yet, but each time I come home, I HAVE to get a shrimp mango quesadilla. They have the best chips, salsa, and bean dip. Everything on the menu is so good! You really can't go wrong no natter what you choose. You won't regret coming here! read more

It's pretty good, I'm not a huge fan of get the Geco Grill however my wife seems to like a lot. The service is good but to me the food seems a little bland. But try it out and you be the judge. read more

This has been one of the worst experiences at Gecko. We have been a number of times. When we entered we were told to go sit anywhere on "that side". We thought somebody would come with menus but they did not. The bus boy came and gave us our chips. We thought the menus and drink order would follow. Again, nothing. I had to go up and get our menus. Still nothing. My wife went up to see where they were this time. They came back with menus, but we didn't need them. We ordered and got our drinks and asked if we wanted more bean dip. We said sure. We got our food and didn't get to take more than one bite and the waitress came to ask how our food was. Great, she came back but drinks were empty and almost empty but she ran away too fast. We ate the rest of of our dinner and waited for the waitress to come back and again nothing. I had to go up to the front to get the check and boxes to check out. This has been by far the worst experience I have had in terms of service. The only good part was that the food was good. 2 stars for the food and a BIG 0 for the service. read more

Pretty average. Food kind of bland. Burrito mostly tortilla. Server was so nice. Atmosphere fun. Will give them another try.

My girlfriend and I came with our friend. The service was very nice. The order didn't come out right the first time but they fixed it rather quickly. read more

Great place for breakfast, good food, friendly staff. Enjoy Moreno's omelette and sitting outside in the covered patio. Quick lunch, great servers... We ordered a "holiday" appetizer platter for our friends, great reviews by all. read more

Just experienced the worst bout of food poisoning of my life this weekend thanks to Gecko Grill. This restaurant used to be one of the best places to eat in Gilbert years ago, but since they moved to this new location, the food has been inconsistent, the service has been terrible and there's no way I'm going back. My family has been Gecko Grill fans since they were in that tiny hole-in-the-wall on Baseline/Lindsay. Each of the 4 times we've gone in this past year our orders have been messed up, the service has been beyond slow and someone in our party wound up with food poisoning. I couldn't be more disappointed. read more

I eat here monthly and have been even before they moved from their last location back in 2008. Pros: Absolutely love the food. Fantastic taste and great prices. The people working are kind and hospitable. I've never had a negative experience with a server. I recommend the chicken fajita burrito. Negatives: Ordering out is a pain in the butt. Every time I call the line is busy and a few times I haven't ever been able to reach the restaurant. I've spoken to employees about this and they think they only have one phone line. There has got to be a change at Geko Grill. Either get a couple other phone lines or get really fancy and upgrade to online ordering. You'll defiantly get more of my business if you do! Also I often use coupons and have to wait for a manager to approve it each time. One time he manager was no where to be found and I was unable to pay for about 10 minutes until the manager emerged from the bathroom. A cashier/server should be able to approve simple coupons to ensure fast service. read more

One of the worst experiences- if I could give zero stars, I would. . Although their food is not bad, their service is some of the poorest I have EVER experienced. We saw people who came in after us get their food which speaks to a highly unorganized kitchen, manager, and waitstaff. When we asked to speak to the manager, she peeked her head around a corner and said I am very busy right now, give me a minute. I guess our money and patronage is not appreciated or wanted. We walked out, but left money for our drinks. I will never set foot in this restaurant again. read more

Ordered the fish tacos and, oh, my, they were horrible! Took one sniff and the fish smelled old. Didn't even eat them. The beans tasted like they came from a can and the salsa was some of the worst I've had. They seem to think their bean dip is great when it tastes like watered down canned beans. The only good thing is the employees are friendly. Food was expensive and unedible. I'll never go back. read more

Food is wonderful. Bean dip is the best in town. My favorite Mexican food spot. Come on a Saturday around 7pm. Waited less than 10 mins to be seated for a party of 2. Food was great. Now where they lose 4 stars we had to take our drinks up to the front to get a refill. Never once asked how are food was or if we need anything. Talked to manager all they said is they will talk to them! Which never happened because they never come to our table even after that. Please address issues I want to come back to good not too. read more

Great place for dinner but also very good for breakfast. Most people wouldn't think Mexican for breakfast but this place is one of the best. They've got a great variety and their Hash Browns....Your Way is fantabulous. Their staff is continually pleasant and attentive and I have never had even a subpar meal. Any meal of the day is great at Gecko's! read more

We have been here 2 times now. Really great trio of homemade salsas you get with your chips. Our meals have been very fresh and excellent service. Was even impressed a girl was washing the windows of the front door, which indicates they care about cleanliness and appearance. Highly recommend. read more

So disappointed. Have gone here for 3 years. Thought it would be great to meet family visiting from out of town. Could see where corners are cut, simply small serving for bean dip sample couldn't be refilled without an extra charge, food that came was not the same.. fundido cheese on my dish was just a slice of cheddar cheese, not at all what it use to be.. you lost us as customers read more

Where can I begin ?... my family and I moved to Arizona about 3 years ago . We have tried many Mexican restaurants such as Serrano's, rosita's , Garcia's (etc..) A close friend told us about this amazing restaurant called gecko grill so we thought we'd give it a try ! I have to say we fell in love with this place ! You get free chips and salsa to eat while your food is being made, they give a mild chunky sauce , a sweet tomatillo sauce , and my favorite BEAN DIP !! I have never tried better bean dip than here ! The customer service is just so wonderful and the servers are always happy to help ! Apart from the servers they have hardworking bussers who are also happy to help in anything you need ! The patio is AMAZING !! The patio is covered which is very convenient on sunny days .. they also have fans and misters to keep it nice and fresh when you're sitting outside ! Their garden looks TERRIFIC! So many plants to look at and they're very well taken care of and they even have a fountain that you'll enjoy watching while you're having your meal ! The food is like none other than we have tried ! The authenticity of it is just perfect . Their menu is full of items to choose from so it's very hard choosing what to eat because everything is just so goood.... my favorite would have to be the tampiquena which is a charbroiled steak with rice beans guacamole and Fresca .. you must try everything once because you'll never get tired of it ! My family and I now come here every weekend and 3 times per week if we weren't busy we'd be here everyday ! Don't forget to try their breakfast meals . Oh Man they have EVERYTHING !! If you want to try something different they will cook something up for you and they will satisfy each time . I heavily recommend doing the hash your way , meaning you make your own plate . I am very grateful to have come across this restaurant ! We love everything about it and the owners are just wonderful people . I have seen them walking around the restaurant making sure everyone is enjoying their meal or helping out the employees in front ! They are very humble and kind people ! My family and I will keep coming here for as long as we can ! We highly recommend this place to anyone new in the area or anybody in general ! You will not be disappointed and you surely will fall in love with it as much as we did ! Thank you gecko grill for your amazing food , employees, ambience, and for all the fun memories for there are more to come . read more
