    Avocado salsa cheese enchiladas
    Diana V.

    I was an on the border gal growing up here and when it closed I was sad. I wanted my chain Tex Mex, but Chueys is way too salty for me. This is a good option. The food isn't mind blowing, but it's pretty good (though I was a little weirded out by the green color of my enchiladas, they were quite delicious). The margarita I got was very tasty. It's a great place for families because it's loud. We had two toddlers sitting behind us and I never heard them. Free ice cream!!!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!
    Hannah L.

    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.

    Stopped off for lunch on the way to Galveston. Got seated right away and our server was right at the table. The atmosphere was very electric and somewhat loud, but not too bad. The food came out quick and was hot and very tasty. Again our server was right there whenever we needed anything. Very good experience. Definitely recommend.

    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!!

    Cheese enchiladas
    Josh R.

    Gringo's never disappoints! My go-to is the cheese enchiladas with the chile con carne sauce. So good!!!

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.

But this is the summer time. The waitress was ok... we told her it's our first time here and she offered zero feedback. I was a little surprised but she was attentive enough keeping up with our refills that I kinda got over it. They also have some lunch specials I'll consider coming back for.
