Chiccirones
Peter C.

I'm a big Gringo's fan coming from the Katy area, I have to say because of the consistency of the food quality. For a TexMex chain they are pretty darn good. You get good flavor, texture, variety and quantity for a very reasonable price. No it's not Escalantes or Ninfa's on Navigation but for a good solid chain, it's very good. The service was excellent. The margarita was average but very good price especially at happy hour. The chicarrons are very good and excellent with queso. I was there for my birthday lunch so I enjoyed it very much. I am certainly going to make a return visit very soon!

**Go online and get on the waitlist! This place can get packed and have a long wait. We got online and were seated in 10 minutes once we arrived.** This place is great for groups with large seating options. Our waitress was friendly and helpful with substitutions. It was a little tricky because the wait staff didn't know the answer to our questions when bringing out our food. The margaritas were delicious and large. Would definitely go again!

Disappointment. If you're raised in Texas, how can you mess up Tex-Mex? Let me further preface by saying the service was excellent. But on that same note, it was obvious that once it was realized that the food was not received well, remind you that we made no complaints, the service dropped off. Why voice disappointment in food that is obviously representative of the restaurant. And it wasn't just the food. The drinks were, at best, average. This was my first experience at this restaurant chain and my expectations were high. I chose it specifically because of the ratings but I should've paid more attention to the few low scores that I saw because later I reread those and I agree. My salad, was nothing special. It was the southwest shrimp salad. The entire thing tasted of lettuce and now I know why they give five sauces to smother their food in. However, the sauce that I was given, while you would expect it to be tasty, was quite bland. My mom ordered the taco salad to be safe. Good thing she did because it actually tasted a bit on the Taco Bell side, which would mean at least edible. My comments here are not to slam the food because obviously lots of people enjoy it, but I do want to give a heads up to those people who actually like a tasty, spicy, flavorful dish that would be a representative of a Tex-Mex meal to perhaps make choices differently than we did. And to be the devil's advocate, I had read that the restaurant is known for their street tacos. Perhaps those are their Wow factor.

I was craving Mexican food, and Gringo's had been recommended. I was planning to get it to go order. I didn't really like their waiting area for to go, so I asked if I could sit at the bar and have a cold drink while I was waiting. I ended up sitting at the bar and chatting with a friendly bartender. The facility is relatively new and well decorated. They have three good size televisions right over the bar so I was able to watch a basketball game while eating. I had a pastor bowl, which came with black beans and rice. It was quite tasty, but more than I could eat. The complementary chips and salsa were very good, but their green salsa, which is usually made with tomatillos, seems to have been made with sour cream and was very good.

Weak drinks. Bad crowds. Mediocre food. I've tried it twice, and just received confirmation. At least the prices are high.

Due to our large party of 9, we were seated at two tables separated by a low wall which was a good spot for purses, hats, etc. One table was new to the KBBQ experience. They really enjoyed it. The owner came by and helped with cooking, offering tips on the best way to handle meats on the grill. The equipment is better than what we've used. The griddle is a grate, allowing more of the foods to be in contact with the heat. (We're used to see the round grill with a solid surface and slits/openings on the perimeter.) The tongs are sturdy. The bbq exhaust is not fixed - it moves up/down so that it doesn't restrict maneuvering items on the grill. All these things, thoughtful in design for the best experience. Every spot on our table was covered with meats, side items. The food is very good. LA Galbi, Bulgogi (both Hawaiian and regular), Rib Eye Steak, Hawaiian Samgyepsal (pork), and plenty of sushi. If you like eggs, try the fluffy egg. Fried rice is always good choice. White rice works too if you want to savor the flavor of the marinated meats. The pricing is simple. No different levels for the types of meats. Service is top notch. There was always someone checking in. Everyone on staff is friendly. It was a great experience to share with the family. Side note: they have cute headbands with characters you can wear during your dining experience. Fun little thing for our group

We visited Red Lobster around 6pm and were seated immediately in a booth, but it was in the bar…read morearea and no one asked if that was okay--which isn't ideal when dining with Bri. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet service felt unusually slow from the beginning. It took about 10 minutes for our drink order to be taken, another 10 for only one drink to arrive, and additional waiting for the rest, along with biscuits that were initially brought out with only two plates for three people. Our server was pleasant, but seemed to have difficulty keeping up, as we had to request items like butter for the biscuits and coconut dipping sauce multiple times. There was no manager check-in, and at one point several employees were sitting together chatting, which added to the feeling that guests weren't really expected. On a positive note, the food was very good across the board. Bri had the kids fried shrimp, I ordered the fried flounder with a baked potato and orzo rice, and Jason had the flounder sandwich with Chesapeake fries--everything came out hot, fresh, and well-prepared. Drinks were also enjoyable, especially the Purple Haze. While we've typically found this chain to be a good value, the slow and inconsistent service during this visit made it feel like we didn't quite get what we paid for. We came in for a bit of nostalgia, but unfortunately this location didn't deliver the experience we were hoping for.
