Good food and service. Even in a busy Saturday the service was good. Server was pleasant

Straightforward Tex mex and free soft serve are the hallmarks of this establishment. Their salsas (green and red) were just fine, and the food was tasty. Nothing spicy to be found on this menu, which is part of why I assume it's so popular. Make sure to join their online waitlist if you don't want to wait for hours on a Saturday night. The service was quick and friendly, which is a must with a place this busy! It's quite loud inside, so dinner conversation is a little more challenging. Overall, we had a decent meal here and I enjoyed the free soft serve. The decor is cute and the atmosphere is lively. read more

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!!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Always a great bar and restaurant! Drank and ate here over Labor Day weekend. I always eat and drink here when I'm in town. Hugo runs a GREAT bar crew. I highly recommend the Whiskey Rita and the Grande Margarita. The southwest egg rolls or quesadilla taste great. Can't wait to get back. read more

This place was really good! I brought my nieces and they thought the place was decorated so cool! They enjoyed having the ice cream afterwards!

We bought Tex-Mex to go and it was delicious. The cheese enchiladas were top-notch. My wife had the bacon wrapped shrimp, said it was delicious. Bean, rice etc was very good also. This is the best TexMEX take out we've had yet in College Station. read more

Food is always delicious and fresh every time. The service is fast and the staff is extremely attentive, personable, and they are willing to accommodate my dietary restrictions.

I love Gringo's summer special. It is just the right amount of tasty Tex-Mex for me. It reminds me of the old Monterrey House from days of yore. Great queso here. My hubby loves the soldado dinner. read more

All of the food is excellent, well prepared and well served. The place is usually very very busy and the noise level is usually quite high. After you eating, you can get a free ice cream cone. read more

Food & service were great ! Can't wait to go back when I'm visiting my daughter in the future !

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

My mother was craving the tilapia and I had a reward so we ended up having a Monday lunch here. It was weirdly busy but when is this place not?! I hadn't tried the enchiladas yet so I got the three amigos. The cheese, chicken, and beef enchiladas were stellar. The zesty ranchero sauce on the steak enchilada was rough!!! It was like a can of tomato sauce was blended and thrown on top. I had a free crispy taco and that was good too. Lots of leftovers! The women behind me were FaceTiming and talking on the phone the entire time which killed the vibe. Somehow I was able to drown it out by the time we left... Shoutout to Fatima for the 6 unsweetened tea refills and one to go. She was awesome! read more

Consistently good food for a chain. Good service and nice ambience.. The family meals are great for those who want to order out and bring home. read more

I picked 3 stars for this one, since it seemed largely indistinguishable from every other chain Tex-Mex/Mexican place. There was really nothing wrong with Gringo's, but there was certainly nothing that made it stand out. The details: I ordered a combination plate centered around a steak fajita taco, a pork tamale, and a cheese enchilada. I looked most forward to the steak taco and it was the least desirable item on the plate -- the meat lacked flavor at best, or maybe had a bad flavor. The pork tamale was really good, and the cheese enchilada was pretty good. The standards of chips, salsa, pico were all good, not great. This is a pretty standard Tex-Mex chain. To be fair, they don't present themselves otherwise. And, sometimes a fella needs a standard Tex-Mex chain meal! read more

Long lines at salsa bar. Food was ok. Will not try again for a while. Loud and noisy during my visit

Not very good for the price. Food was quite bland and nothing to write home about. I think there are other places in cstat that are better for the amount we paid. service was alright and we were sat fast. read more

Food service and ambiance was awesome! All of our party loved it and our food was amazing as well!

This was a last minute restaurant selection as we were driving into town for a weekend event. So glad we stopped here. The place was packed. We were lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar where we could eat dinner. The staff is so well trained at this establishment. Our bartender and servers were top notch. Following the lead of the staff, we ordered the beef fajitas for one and shared them. Perfect amount of food for us. The meat is tender moist and delicious. Loved it. This will definitely be on our must visits when we are in the Bryan/College Station area. A sweet treat at the end of the meal fwas a self serve ice cream machine when you walk out the door. We chose the chocolate swirl cone and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm sure you could eat the ice cream before your meal, too. If I was a child, I would love that added bonus. All over a delightful restaurant, great food, and wonderful atmosphere. Hope you enjoy. read more
