Taco
Brian S.

Food was exceptional, service was too! The green sauce on my food was to die for. I wish they bottled it. It was clean and friendly. Would go back anytime I'm in the area.

Gringos was absolutely packed - the line stretched all the way to the parking lot! It's clearly a hotspot, especially for college students and their families. The food was pretty good, though definitely more on the Americanized side of Mexican cuisine. I've had better, but the fun atmosphere makes up for it. They handle large parties really well, and even with the long line, it moved surprisingly fast. I'd definitely come back!

Queso

Found on a business trip, will revisit next time I'm in town. Fun vibe. Our server, Fatima, was a doll and took great care of us. Food is fantastic. Loved the crisp veggies and array of salsas. No complaints!

Restaurant Entrance

My family took us to eat at Gringo's Mexican Kitchen, saying it was the best Mexican Food in B/CS and their favorite. Despite there being 7 of us, we were seated quickly. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has an upbeat vibe. The patio is welcoming and the bar looks fun and inviting. The service was great and our server was attentive throughout. The only reason I didn't give 5-stars, was that I just not crazy about Tex-Mex Mexican food. That's not the restaurant's fault. A lot of people do. And to be fair, it is called Gringos Tex-Mex. I don't much care for queso on tostada's or enchilada's. My preference is New Mexico style with fresh made enchilada sauce and hatch chili's. That said, what gringo's did, they did well. I had a tostada and taco. I thought the taco was good. The tostada was different to me. There was a very thin layer of beans on the tostada, seasoned with what tasted like taco meat seasoning. I didn't care for that very much. Also there was a lot of of lettuce on the tostada. Too much to eat. The Fajita bowl was good and worth ordering again. I like the way it was smothered in real (not processed) cheese. The bottom line is that Gringo's is a fun place to dine with friends. The atmosphere is awesome and the service is good. If you like Tex-Mex style Mexican food (which most do in the neck of the woods), then your experience will probably be 5-Star.

Food awesome Service awesome Price a little pricey No waiting pretty nice since they were busy

Free icecream!

Gringos is a great choice for Tex Mex style food! There is great portion sizes and plenty of flavor. Free ice cream was a nice bonus!! Ambiance: Lots of different type of seating from booths to table and chairs. There was medium lighting during dinner time. There is a louder noise level. There is plenty of seating so the wait time isn't long. Service: The service is great here compared to other restaurants in College Station. The server was very attentive and accommodating. He continuously checked on our table and our drinks were never empty! Chicken Breast fajitas: The portion was good! The meat was soooo juicy and flavorful. The dish is really simple as it only comes on a bed of onions. The dish came with a side of cheese, pico, and some guac. The dish also came with rice which was alright and beans. The chicken was the best part.

Small queso appetizer

A year later on my five star still stands! This place is top notch! The restaurant is very clean and the workers are efficient. I can tell that they're hiring new recruits for the busy crazy football season. But they were doing great. My husband and I tried the bowl. He had the steak fajita bowl and I had the Marisco bowl. Delish!!

This evening, we decided to find a place to eat on our way home from Aggie Town. We looked online,…read morechecked out the menu, and decided to give this place a try. We made it just in time because there was no wait and the restaurant wasn't crowded yet. We were greeted by Connor, who was a pleasure to have as our server. He made great recommendations and gave us his honest opinions about the food and drinks, which we really appreciated. I had the citrus chicken, while my family ordered the mushroom ravioli and spaghetti. Everything was delicious, and the fresh-squeezed lemonade was wonderful! I also tried a lavender mocktail. It was okay, although I think it may have tasted better as a cocktail. By the time we were ready to leave, there was a wait, so we were glad we arrived when we did. There is also plenty of outdoor seating if you prefer to dine outside. We really enjoyed the flavorful dishes, the friendly service, and the overall experience. We'll definitely be back again!

Nothing special with the escargot, but it was still delicious. The crispy brussel sprouts were good, but the balsamic glaze through my family off lol, but I still loved it. Nothing special about the pepperoni pizza at all. The melted Raclette was really fancy and delicious. They came out with melted cheese and scraped it onto our bread and prosciutto. Palo Alto dip was weird, but pretty good too. I don't think I've ever eaten anything like that. The bow tie pasta was ok. The Citrus Chicken and Beef Bourguigon were very tasty and flavorful. Overall, a bit pricey, but the food portions were generous and the quality on some of these dishes were worth it. The staff here were fast and friendly. Lots of tables to dine at to include outside in a tent, buuut it's summer so indoor sounds better lol. Lots of parking as well.

The mochiball's matcha cream was light and not too sweet, however, the matcha glaze on top of the donut was more like white chocolate than matcha to me. Nevertheless, they were both enjoyable and delicious! The ambiance was chill and a good place to study or hang out with friends! The store was kept clean and had plenty of seating.

If you are the owners and care about community as much as your website says, take a look at your camera footage on August 11, 2026 between. 8:45 and 9:10am ish. Just the facts. We ordered and sat like everyone else. Received our food after the two groups behind us who ordered well after us got theirs. Most were Veterans so I appreciate that and would hope this was the reason. Once our food was dropped the server asked if there was anything else and I said I'd take a refill of coffee (empty). As I observed the room, the tables around us were getting really attentive service. Refills galore, conversation... I had to go to the counter to refill my coffee as I saw a server walk past our table and refill the cups at the window while ours remained empty. I got up, walked past all the servers and went to the counter where I got my first cup of coffee. After a while without anyone checking on us (again, all other tables were getting some really good 5 star service) I went to the counter to get a refill of water (empty) and a young girl who I overheard said she just graduated from high school stopped me and asked if I needed a refill. She was your bright spot. The rest of the staff just stood talking as u walked past them. It wasn't even busy. As I saw tables about to leave they were offered a cup of coffee to go. Thanked for coming in and probably would give 5 stars on a review. I made eye contact to the middle age female server and she quickly looked away. So did another young server who I saw refilling coffee. My previous review of here was 5 stars. I recommended coming here because this is our second time and my first was outstanding. Not playing the card, just the facts. We are the three Asians on the 4 top next to the booths by the kitchen entrance. Watch the entire service. I have a rule that if I really like a place I'd go back and even buy a shirt if available. I bought a shirt after my first visit but I'll holster the shirt. I'm huge on loyalty and sorry to say, this was lost. We left the cold, unwelcoming restaurant without any one of your staff saying a word. Not the type of place I'd return to. I hope this review is useful and hope this is a one off and I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. ***update*** The operations manager reviewed the video with the owner and quickly reached out to me directly. They agreed with my assessment and said they immediately addressed the issue with their staff. Doesn't change what happened but pleased to hear they care and will take corrective action when needed. They offered to refund my bill. I declined as I am just thankful they swiftly dealt with my concerns.

Our waiter Aedan was exceptionally attentive. He expounded on the different types of available spirits and we decided to try a top shelf 100 proof bourbon in the classic Old Fashioned. Ka-pow!!! Fabulous drink worth every penny. After agonizing over the incredible menu we decided to share a small wedge salad (not at all a small portion) with the most amazing bacon ever!!!! The chef traveled over 5 states according to our waiter to find the perfect apple smoked bacon. Mission accomplished. Beware, you will moan when you eat it. Perfectly aged blue cheese with Roquefort dressing, and extra of that; the salad is a divine experience. By now we were pretty happy but.... the Lobster Carbonara arrived heaped high on the plate! These are small lobster tails and a very generous portion of them! The truffle cream sauce with English peas, not overcooked, still a bright pretty green, and mountain of lobster was a moment to just stop and savor. I put that in my mouth and quit talking. I was speechless. There are no words for how delicious this entree is. We had an incredible experience. We decided to order dessert cocktails a great choice. Sorry by now I wasn't taking any more pictures. All I know is chocolate in a martini glass is an excellent choice. An experience like this does have a price tag but the pleasure is priceless.

I observed the server typing the request into her terminal. Of course, both of the orders were delivered with onions on the tacos. This was the second time in a row that this restaurant can't do something basic like NO ONIONS! It was a Wed. night so it's not like the place was busy. If it were just myself, or if we'd all ordered the same thing, we'd have sent the order back. However, why should three of us feel obliged to wait to start eating while the kitchen help has to redo several orders that they failed to prepare properly. As I stated, this was the second time the restaurant screwed up the same item. I'll host the five or six of us at other places in the BCS area. There are no third chances in the service industry!

Overall, the food hits, especially if you're craving something savory and indulgent, but the wait and the drink quality keep it from being a higher rating for me.
