We've been here at least 5 more times all Togo orders. We absolutely love the food. The cheese enchiladas are amazing, the rice with the white wine sauce poured on it is delicious. Everything has been fresh and consistent. The guacamole is also the best from any restaurant I've ever had. read more

Great food little pricey but good quality food Get there early if possible can if you have only one hour for lunch wouldn't go there read more

We came in Thursday for lunch at the bar about 1 pm they weren't too full at the bar. Our first time in, we live in the area. The bartenders took care of our drinks and the food was good, but they didn't clear our plates at all and I really hate that. That gave us a bad taste for being a regular but I will try y'all again but seriously I'm just hoping y'all will improve on that because #1 it's just proper etiquette to clear plates and ask how things were and that didn't happen. #2 just nice service especially for a new restaurant and to keep your clientele coming and becoming regulars. We have gone to the one in new Caney and the bartenders are not super friendly there either so maybe they're just not teaching that there which really shouldn't need to be taught. read more

Gringo's Conroe - Food was great yet it sat there the whole time we had our second cocktail paid and left with a pile of dishes sitting there - Tex-Mex Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Food was delicious, drinks were perfect , waitstaff was on point. Free soft serve ice cream was a nice touch!

Gringo's of Conroe has never let us down. Today was no different. We had an outstanding lunch experience. The food was perfectly prepared, the atmosphere was great, and the service was exceptional. Our server, Hayden, was courteous, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. Hayden sets the bar high! read more

Everyone says that Gringos is the best Mexican restaurant and they couldn't wait for it to come to Conroe. Well, it is here and I am not very impressed. We have visited twice with family who wanted to try it out and the food was good, just nothing so outstanding from the menu that I have to go back to have it again. Yes, the tacos were good and fajitas were good but I have actually had better at some of Conroe's other Mexican restaurants. The Margaritas and other drinks were good, but a bit thin on alcohol. I can deal with all of this and not rate Gringos so low, but it was the service that really killed it for me. Both times we visited the service was extremely slow. I know that it is dinner time and it is busy but I would think that you should plan accordingly to have more staff on hand to deal with 1) A busy family style restaurant at dinner hour 2) A big name chain like Gringos where many people will flock to due to the name. The reception desk was not much better. They were not friendly towards the customers and seemed to forget several customers who had been waiting longer than our group. The one thing that really did impress me was their self-serve ice cream machine in the waiting area. On a warm Texas evening, this does take the sting out of the long wait for a table and the ice cream is REALLY good! Overall, the food is average, but the service is what really is keeping me from wanting to return to Gringos. read more

do not usually give a 5 start, but.... this was the second time we frequented this restaurant. This time we dined at the bar. we asked for a cucumber/jalapeno margarita. Rilynn gave it her best effort, AND WOW, the best one we have ever had. Yummy. And the food, the food was fresh and delicious, full of flavor. Thanks for the wonderful experience !!! Thanks Rilynn for your help and discussions about God !!!! God does work in our lives. read more

Their staff, food and mixed drinks were excellent! We had awesome servers at the bar. They were friendly and funny! The place was nice, neat and very clean. Restrooms were stocked and clean. The only reason I didn't give them a 5 star was their price. We had two entrees, a burger plate and fajita combo with three mixed drinks that added up to $97 before tip. However, the food and service out weighed the price and we tipped our server well! I recommend them. read more

This is a Tex-Mex restaurant and the food wasvery good and the hospitality was wonderful. We had a large group and it took 90 minutes to get a table even after we made a reservation. Give it a try! Thanks! read more

We've eaten here a couple of times now and have nothing but experiences. We dine in really arriving before 5p so have never had any issue with a wait, and are always seated immediately. The happy hour specials on the cadillac margaritas have never disappointed and they never tasted watered down. I prefer white queso, but heir yellow queso is still tasty. The bangin shrimp tacos are a good balance of sweet and tangy with the slaw providing a c bit of a crunch to the tacos. The shrimp in the salad was well cooked and not fishy at all. The rewards club makes the experience even better as it pays for itself literally immediately. I am a true tex-mex fan, as many of the traditional Mexican food spices mess with my stomach. I've enjoyed every meal I've had here as well as the bites of my husbands food. The decor is fun and not too loud. Overall, I recommend getting there early and remembering to grab some free soft serve ice cream on your way out. read more

called ahead from our vehicle to ask how long the wait was. Was told 30- 35 minutes so we proceeded directly to Gringo's. The actual wait was over and hour and half. Clueless management and staff. read more

The food is great , I got the pork tamales and these are amazing . The staff are kind and very friendly . The wait was not long ( thanks to open-table ) . The restarting looks amazing and I can't wait to home back soon!!!!! read more

Gringo's Conroe - Tex-Mex Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Wife and I went last night (Friday). Place was packed. Really didn't mind the wait since it was nice out. Every staff member was very nice. Wife got the fried shrimp enchiladas and I got the seafood enchiladas. Both meals were very good. Wife loved her enchiladas. I enjoyed mine and we would definitely eat those again. I knocked one star off because in my opinion their drink prices are way too high. I can get three margaritas on a cruise ship cheaper than two here. read more

The Food at this chain is always good. Not my issue nor the reason for this review. Been going to Gringo's all over this part of Texas for well over 10 years. Never had a bad experience. Very excited when they made the choice to put one in near me, in Conroe. Decided to take my 79 year old mother out on her birthday week. Was looking forward to a nice time. Was I ever wrong. I just had the worst experience in well over 10 years in dealing with this chain. Terrible service. Looked to be a tip war going on as the young man who would eventually be forced upon my table was clearly taking it from another young lady. Might add here, the young lady's name was on the ticket. Also worth the mention that the you could clearly see them, it was quite obvious what had happened by the reaction of the young lady. Having worked in the industry before I wasn't shocked. It happens. What happened next, did. I politely asked, as we'd been seated close to ten minutes, if we could have chips if he was our server. He told me that it wasn't his job. EXCUSE ME? The experience just went down hill at an alarming rate at that point. One lady came out, explained she was the manager and then did absolutely nothing to address any complaint we might have had. She explained that the young lady was going on break so that was the reason for the change. Might have been an beliebalbe explanation be it not for the fact that as this "manager" was telling me this, the young lady was waiting on the table NEXT TO ME. Matter of fact, she was still waiting tables in my area when I was done. Is Gringo's making their employees word on breaks now??? You might be saying, well maybe this manager just doesn't have people skills (why is she a manager?), but I figured I'd have to write it off. Then, no one would come take our check so we could pay. We had to walk up to the front (my mother uses a cane) and beg them to let us pay so we could finally leave. Another woman came up and said she was the manager and asked what the issue was. So they have two managers on, at the same time in the middle of the week at a none peak time? Riiiigggght This one acted shocked and it was such bad acting I considered telling her to go back to acting class. She, after making us wait another ten minutes, issued a $15 dollar gift card. I don't mean to be ungrateful, but big deal. That wouldn't cover an appetizer at this establishment. It was pretty insulting to be honest. While I'm not sour over this chain at this point, this particular one won't be getting my business in the near future if at all. I understand things happen and as a reasonable adult, you must be able to understand that. Being treated like garbage and being lied to your face is something else. Horrible service, horrible place. Don't waste your time or your money. read more

Gringos is my favorite TexMex restaurant. I normally go to the one in Cypress but was meeting a friend in Conroe. First the restaurant was very nice. Lots of natural light. I'm not sure how long it has been open but it seemed like it was recently as it had a new feel. The service was prompt, friendly, and excellent. The food was great as always. We both got the Bandera enchiladas. They have been the only thing I have ordered since they appeared on the menu. They are a special dish and are supposed to be gone from the menu soon. If you don't get a chance to try them before they are gone I'm sorry but they have plenty of other outstanding other options. The manager on duty dropped by the table to check on the food and service. This is typical of Gringos. The next time you are looking for TexMex give them a try (whether the Conroe location or another one in the area. read more

Pretty darn good! Fajitas are superb Ice cold beers! Good chips and salsa, but the queso dip is delicious! Make sure to sign up for the loyalty program. It's well worth it! read more

This is not normally my kind of atmosphere considering the high volume of customers. However, this Gringo's seems to handle it very well. Staff was great lots of hustle. I had the soldier plate. Definitely recommend and it's for a great cause! Make sure to join the waitlist ahead of time. We will be back! read more

Whoaaaa!! Conroe finally has a Gringo's! I often visit their Katy spot, and I absolutely adore it. On our way back from Dallas, we stumbled upon this location, and naturally, we had to drop in for dinner and one of their fantastic Cadillac frozen daiquiris! My love for their traditional beef tacos remains strong, and, as expected, they were outstanding. The customer service was exceptional, as usual. Dining at Gringo's is always a delightful experience - they consistently get it right! read more

It was good. I had the Three Amigos. Plenty of food and good Tex Mex. Manager checked on us and said hello. It was busy but hardly a wait. Check it Conroe! read more

We went to Gringos tonight. Was pretty busy because of it being a weekend. We were seated really quickly, no wait at all for a Saturday night! After being seated though it all went down hill rather quickly. We were asked by our hostess if we would like chips and dip and we said yes while we were browsing the menu. Chips and dip came out quick. After we decided on what we wanted (still have not seen our server) we waited for about another 5 minutes. When she finally came over she introduced herself as Kayla, asked what we would like to drink (sweet tea for both), she asked if we would like queso, yes we did. She walked away. She brought our drinks out after about 5 more minutes and said she was going to check on our queso. Did not ask about if we were ready to order even though we were no longer holding our menus. A different girl brought out our queso after about 10 minutes. A while later Kayla came back and took our order. (We are out of chips by then). She walks away before either of us could ask for more. I bought a young lady that was walking by and asked her for more chips. She brought them back rather quickly and slid them onto the table. (Husbands drink is empty now and Kayla is MIA). Finally another girl brings out our food and miraculously Kayla returned and literally shooed her away and rolled her eyes. My husband being pretty upset and really thirsty by then asked for a pitcher of tea. She brought him back 2 glasses of tea. After we were done eating he had to go and look for her so we could pay. She was standing just out of view talking with another waitress. I will NEVER be back at this location. I will drive to spring. Unbelievable service from Kayla. read more

We dropped in last week to try out the new location. We used to like the one in Spring, Off I-45, but the last time we went the food had gone downhill and service was mediocre at best. We had higher hopes for this one. The host was friendly enough as was the person who brought chips and salsa. The queso was good, but when they dropped the plates off, mine had old food stuck on it. I ask the waitress for a new one without being rude or anything. She took it and brought another without a sorry, you suck, or anything at all. When our food showed up-all looked good, but I had old ass food stuck on the bottom of my plate. I checked, it wasn't from my plate. That about disgusted me as much as a hair in a meatball I encountered once. The meatball actually swung on the hair. I didn't say anything and tried to eat my food-I did t want to ruin anyone else's meal. After we left, everyone said just okay. My wife's fajita meat, ordered medium, was rare at best. The waitress brought the check, without a word again. Dropped it off without a thank you, come again, how was everything, or even a don't come back. That dirty plates with food stuck on them and a waitress who literally didn't say a word are the reasons we won't be back. Her tip was well below average and commensurate with her lack of service. read more

From California and love true Fresca Mexican cuisine. Thought after moving to Texas and trying TexMex, that I just hated TexMex in general...Turns out I just hate bad TexMex, because Gringos is delish! Everything is so fresh. The atmosphere and staff are incredible. I had the Chicken Suizas Enchiladas... they were fresh and so good. Yummy. Will be back. read more

This is our second time there and again it was absolutely delicious. The service was great and our food came out pretty quick for a Friday night. I would definitely recommend! I had steak and chicken fajitas both times! read more

Have been here a few times already and really like this place. The specialty drinks are a bit expensive but that is really my only complain. Food is good, staff is good, and atmosphere is good. read more

I'm so happy they built Gringo's in Conroe. They don't have a huge menu but that's ok with me. I always loved their Cheese Enchiladas and they didn't disappoint. Salsa and Chips were good and Queso was very tasty. All in all a very good experience and even though they were packed it didn't take long at all to get seated. Very good food and I will definitely be back! read more

I had to write this comment after I saw one of the hostesses at Gringo's being disrespected by an irate woman (customer) because she had to wait to be seated. The restaurant was very busy as usual, the woman became loud and downright rude to the young lady as she tried to calmly seat the woman. It's so sad that we (people) feel the need to verbally attack and abuse others as they work to provide us a service. What happened to "kindness, patience and respect? I felt terribly for the young lady. I commend her for keeping her cool as the rude woman invaded her space and spoke rudely to her without cause. "People, let's be better to one another!" read more

Food was hot and great. Server was great. Perfect surroundings. Really enjoyed the lunch.

I get the quesodillas. They're delicious. There is usually a long wait time but it's worth it. Good atmosphere.

Not sure what all the hype is about. Standard Tex-Mex cuisine. Our food was piping hot. Service was good. Good value for entree quality and quantity. Chips tasted like they came from a Tostitos bag. read more

So I haven't ever been a fan of Gringos. But it was a last minute decision to come to the new location in Conroe. And I have to say, it was a great decision! Everything was amazing. The food, the drinks, and our server Chris. One thing I would say, the music needs to be better. But we will be coming back. read more

It's been over 2 hours and we are still waiting! We are told an hour! This is not ok! So y'all only have 2 areas for a large party? read more

Gringo's Conroe - Wait time - Tex-Mex Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Me and my mother visited Gringos tonight. We were very exited that a location was coming closer to us. While we expected a longer wait, We were sat within 10 minutes. Our service was amazing, our server Austin was very friendly, kind, and attentive. He asked questions and made sure we had a great experience. The food came in about 15 minutes. Everything was hot and fresh! Fajitas were very tender and flavorful, with plenty of toppings. One more shout out to Austin, He was great! Overall we will be returning, many times in the future I'm sure! The decor also looked very vibrant and fun, great ambiance. read more

Service was good but the food is mediocre and overpriced. Ordered the seafood enchiladas and it was two flour tortillas with queso rolled in and a few very small shrimp and crawfish with white cheese on top. Also forgot the charro beans read more

Another good restaurant added to our area. Great food and great restaurant. Only issue is and they are working on it is service is a little slow. read more

They said 30 minutes to be seated, took an hour+. Once our party of 8 sat down, it took another hour before they brought us food. Now 2 hours+ after arriving, they bring 4 of our 8 meals!!!$@$! Then another 30 minutes pass they bring us 3 more meals, then another 10 minutes pass then they bring the last meal (that was mine). First impression is this place sucks. Not going back. Maybe they will get it together. Don't know don't care. Too many other places to go. Best of luck to you readers. read more

If you like waiting an hour for your order to be taken, eating inside a cacophonous sardine tin and paying $20 for a salad comprised of mostly yellow romaine and head lettuce, this place is for you. read more

I am really not sure why Gringos has 3.9 stars. I will have to go back and look at the reviews. That said my wife and I have frequently gone since they have opened and was even there the day they opened and we are also reward members. We have three kids and every time we go we don't spend any less than 100 bucks. We also always get queso and drinks. The food and the service has almost always been great, but if service failed we gave feedback and received a percentage off our meals. We also had a hair in our gauc on one of my plates and we received our meal 1/2 off. Managers are always accountable and fix issues very quickly. To be fair I grew up in Pasadena, Tx and have eaten at Gringos quite a bit. All that said the only complaint is I do wish they had outdoor seating. I do also love the atmosphere and hope that whatever the negative reviews are, they get better. No complaints from me though. read more

The chips and green sauce were wonderful. There were 3 of us and all our meals were different, and all were bland. The margarita was wonderful though! Not sure if we will eat there again! The waitress was great and it was a great ambiance. read more

We dropped in the second week this place was open. I was sooooooo disappointed in the food and the service. The prices are unreasonable for the type and quality of food served. Sorry but probably will not go back. read more
