Gringo's - Mexican Near Me - Jefferson, Georgia

This was my second time at Gringos--first time dining in, and this time I ordered to-go. Both experiences were excellent! The portions are large, the flavor is outstanding, and everything was hot and fresh even with takeout. Friendly service and consistent quality make this a go-to spot for Mexican food in Jefferson. Highly recommend! read more

Don't let the old, lower scores fool you! They almost fooled me and I doubted Gringos my first visit in Summer 2023, but we've gone literally WEEKLY since then (it's now Summer 2025) This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant with the sweetest, kindest people working there! It's seriously the best, even compared to Atlanta and Gwinnett Mexican restaurants. The food is always fresh and amazing, it's soo inexpensive, and they make the best margs around! Mary is the best of the best waitress and the manager Marteen is always working SO hard, waiting on tables when needed, making sure everyone is taken care of and happy! The main chef delivers the food and is so sweet too --a small town home feeling spot, but serving a big crowd! You have to check Gringos out, you won't be disappointed :) Our forever go-to spot! read more

Was recommended. I should have known better. 3.5 stars in yelp. Generally don't go unless they have 4 stars. But love Mexican so we went. The place is 3/4 empty but the Georgia game was on so I figured people were home. We ordered the quest dip to start and I had a gringo taco and a chili rellano. The cheese was very runny. Not spicy, really no taste. The chips and salsa was ok. Salsa was runny too. The chili relleno literally had a quarter slice of of a pepper. The meat was mystery meat. The cheese was salty. The taco was cold but flavors were very good. Hubby had a tamale, and a burrito. The burrito was actually. Wet good. Seasoned really well. The tamale was ok. Ambiance really nothing to speak of service was ok. read more

The food is great. Have not had a bad meal yet. They are very friendly and good service

We stopped in here for lunch on a weekday. They have great lunch specials. Service was quick and friendly. I would suggest the cheese dip with jalapeños. They also have a large drink menu too. There isn't much seating so I could see how this place could get cramped. They have both inside and outside seating. read more

Amazing food and service! Looks like a house from the outside but once you walk up the stairs and hear the Mexican music, you know it's legit! I had the grilled seafood especial and I highly recommend it! read more

Favorite place to get Mexican food. Love all the food they serve and the friendly service. (My daughter loves poncho!!!)

2 weeks ago. Brought friends with. Had some great tortas. Everything was very good. Service was good as well despite the dinner rush going on. No one left dissapointed. read more

Our "15 minute wait" was actually over one hour. One person sat us, another person took our order, another person brought our food, another person brought our check. Our portions were tiny. No one came to check if we needed anything. Drinks were never refilled. The restaurant was packed, but only because there are no other restaurants around. Never again. read more

Horrible service, most of the servers can't speak fluent English and if they can partly speak can't even understand questions about menu, brings cheese dip but wait I don't even have my chips and salsa yet and of course no napkins yet. And still no drinks yet -a coke and water. Went back and tried again bc thought it was just that (1) bad server; nope nope nope. I just can't. I refuse to go there. I hope the staff all have visa etc. makes me wonder?!!! Nope nope never going back. Get flow right, have staff be fluent in English, and clean the menus! read more

Hostess said 15 minutes, waited 45. Waited an additional 10 minutes to get our drinks. Our drinks were wrong. He gave us diet coke instead of regular. When he finally came back to the table we asked him to replace them with regular coke and he brings us diet coke AGAIN!! We saw our waiter only when we asked another worker to go find him for us. To top it all off there was a 2.5" bone in my wife's burrito. We have ate there four times now and it gets worse every time. We will not try again! Two hour nightmare! read more

Gringo's - BONES IN OUR BURRITO!! - Mexican Near Me - Jefferson, Georgia

Wow, what a little gem tucked away in the middle of nowhere! This single family home turned restaurant is off 129 before you get into downtown Jefferson. Nothing special on the interior, but the food was really good. 3 of us went for lunch and each got 3 specialty tacos which ran about $3.33 a piece. I got the carne asada tacos of course and they were great! Colleague got The shrimp tacos which he loves. All the tacos had a generous portion of protein (see pic). I would definitely stop in here again. read more

Gringo's - Carne Asada tacos $10.95. Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Jefferson, Georgia

Food was great and service was awesome. Loved the atmosphere and set up! The carnitas were off the chain and taste is authentic! Will come back next time in Jefferson GA! read more

I really wanted to like this place, we love Mexican food. The service is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is great. The food...disappointing, no seasoning, meat smells and tastes off. Chips and salsa were good. I think the only reason people rate this high is for the giant margaritas. We will not be back read more

Another tasteless meal. Is seasoning no longer something I can expect from a restaurant? If this was Mexican food and I was blindfolded, I'd think I was eating tasteless splat on a plate. The chips were old and chewy, the queso tasted like grocery store dip, and what's a piece of lettuce with a slice of tomato supposed to be sitting next to a warm chimichanga? Worst of all I ordered ground beef and got chicken, tasteless of course. A friend got tasteless tacos in stale shells. Couldn't eat it. I assume this must be what prison food tastes like. The only thing about this place was quantity but when the foods this bad, that's not a good thing. read more

Love coming here with my husband. Get a pitcher of beer and a couple of tequila shots with good food. Service can be slow but food is fresh and hot!!!! read more

I love the food here I go here every week it has a big and delicious menu the. Cheese dip is the best cheese dip I've ever had. The service is amazing all the employees are so friendly. read more

Went here on 07.14.23 - sat pretty quickly and the hostess was very nice. Immediately chips and salsa were delivered to the table. Then the wait began. No server even looked our way. We watched as others were seated and waited on. One server looked at our table at least three times but nothing ever happened. No one came to take drink orders or food order. We ended up leaving. As we were leaving the table next to us even said "yeah the service here is always bad" read more

Ambiance is nice enough, especially on the porch In good weather. Service has always been good. Food was just ok. chorizo was especially greasy ( I order this frequently at restaurants so am aware of expected fat), salsa and chips are bland. Even fajitas were just ok. read more

Well run. Food is always great! The service is always on point. The place is always clean.

Good food, good atmosphere, reasonably priced. The chili rellanoes were really good with plenty of melted queso.

Best Mexican restaurant in Jefferson. Their shredded chicken is so juicy it literally dripped out of my quesadilla. I have been here twice and always get excellent service! read more

I never make a point to give a negative review but our visit tonight was one of the worst experiences we ever had in a restaurant. The service was terrible I am sorry today. The food was decent for a positive note. I hope they can get better. read more

I love Gringos!! Best Mexican in JTown! Great food and service. Always pretty fast! Salsa is the best

Was looking for something similar to Chipotle and found this. They have similar options, burrito, burrito bowls, tacos, etc. They had options for chicken, tofu, pork and beef and i got the chicken. The chicken for some reason was too bland. Other than that it is the usual mix, like pico, cream, cheese lettuce. For all those spice lovers, you can try their ghost pepper cheese, its got a kick and slowly gets to you. Also do try their chipotle sour cream it is pretty good. All their meals come with a bag of chips. One the whole it was a decent meal and cannot expect more when i travel especially to a place in the middle of no where. read more

Gringo's - Done in area - Mexican Near Me - Jefferson, Georgia

We have been eating here for a little while but after last night we won't be back. We saw our waitress one time and that was only to place our order. I had to go find someone for drink refills. We never were brought the extra salsa we asked for. Then we got our food it was so disgusting. I ordered the steak tacos and the meat was burnt to a CRISP. I wanted to send it back, but we could never find our waitress. Once we got home my husband couldn't stop throwing up. All of our meals were disgusting. read more

Good food-Good service--always busy-could offer more chips with "to go" orders. Patio is nice on a beautiful day

I have heard good things about this restaurant so I decided to give it a try. Our waiter was excellent and made sure to let me know that the margaritas were on sale the night we went so we each ordered a margarita. The margaritas were very well mixed, plenty of tequila! I couldn't decide what I wanted so I ordered the dinner combo which had a burrito, a Chile relleno, a tamale and a taco with rice and beans. Everything was very good, even the half I had to reheat the next day because it was so much food for $11. I'll definitely be back and I can't wait for warm weather so we can enjoy all of the patio seating they have read more

I recently moved to Jefferson and am in search for a great Mexican restaurant that offers fantastic food and service. Gringos is unfortunately not it. I went there for my 5th time today, and my husband and I have left 2 out of those 5 visits without ever being served. Service is horrible. This evening, we walked in and were seated immediately. Chips and salsa were delivered to the table quickly. Then the tables behind us on both sides were seated within minutes of each other and shortly after we were seated. Both of those tables were quickly wsited on, and they had their drinks and wete starting to order while no one had visited our table. During that time, 2 busboys and 3 servers all passed and saw our table, but no one said a thing. We left after 15 minutes. Even the hostess didn't acknowledge us as we left. The other time we left, it was when we had been waiting up front for 15 minutes to just put our name on the wait list when we overheard another family leaving who had clearly gone through what we did today...sat there forever with no one coming to the table. We figured it would just be best to go somewhere else that night as it was clear they were struggling to serve customers that night. read more

In a area saturated with Mexican restaurants Gringos stands out. Great food, ridiculously fast order to table times and no nonsense atmosphere. These people are working hard every time we go and it shows. I've eaten fajitas, tacos, refried beans, enchiladas you name it...all good. We've probably been 5 or 6 times since moving to Jackson county this past summer and keep coming back. Sure there has been a miss or two, but far and away a great place to eat. Pretty affordable too, that doesn't hurt either. read more

Been here several times and each time we have had excellent service, food & price is very reasonable. Highly recommend for Mexican food in a fun atmosphere. read more

This is our second time here because my mother in law wanted to give it another try, well the first time the service was bad and guess what this time the service was horrible! When we got there, my father in law had to yell and see if someone would come sit us, and then when we got there I asked the server for some juice for my boys well she never brought it to them!! There was ONLY four SMALL tables with customers in the whole restaurant, there shouldn't be any excuses why the service was this bad!!! So I was tired of hearing my five year old ask me if he can have something to drink so I got up and walked around the whole small restaurant looking for someone and there wasn't anyone in sight!! I went behind the bar and grab two cups and a pitcher of water for my boys!!!! Our drinks, salsa and chips were never refilled!!!! We def won't be back! If you want to sit and serve yourself then come here!!!!! read more

Yum! Yum! Yum! Service was quick, food was awesome and bathroom was clean. All staff was very friendly and multiple individuals came by the tablet to ask if we were ok. Would definitely come back! Parking was also convenient. What brought us here was the number of people in the lot. We literally turned around. read more

Great food. Great service. Nice staff. Clean! @ 2:30 on a Sunday. Did not have to wait. read more

So we have been here a few times and mostly they have been good but last night we ordered and I felt it was off for sure! We were missing part of our order, the food was cold, it seemed very expensive for what we got and they had forgotten a drink I ordered and I had to go back in and wait longer even though I had already waited more than the amount of time they told me it would take when I called ahead. There were a lot of people in the restaurant. Didn't feel like a lot of precautions for covid were being taken. Overall it was disappointing! I will be trying another place in the area to see if I get better service there. Not saying I will never go back but it's def gone from my 'go to' to my 'last resort'! read more

Food is always good, staffing is always an issue. Covid is hampering all businesses in this industry.

Fantastic find in Jefferson! Super family-friendly restaurant with a fun vibe! Outstanding fresh food with tons of flavor and very large portions! The prices are beyond reasonable! Definitely worth the 25 minute ride for us to visit gringos! This will be our new Mexican spot! And something that was really impressive and hardly ever happens, we were with a party of about 30 and our server not only was efficient, but got our bill correct on the first try! Completely amazing! read more

Good authentic food atmospheres great staff is good and one of our favorite places to eat
