Chicken Fajitas for Two
Monica G.

This place was busy! I actually like busy restaurants because it makes it more fun and festive, especially when you're out celebrating something. This place is huge and can hold a lot of people, but I appreciate that they're not trying to cram as much people in as possible. There is ample spacing between tables and walk ways. Although it was busy, we did not wait long at all. Even the food that we ordered came out pretty quickly! We ordered the chicken fajitas for two and regular size queso. The chicken fajitas for two was enough to feed my husband, me, and our two little boys. The tortillas were sooo good! The queso was decent. It's pretty expensive for the portion that you get. I thought the fajitas were alright as well. It was good, but I still wanted to dip it into something. I believe that a good fajita doesn't require any extra sauce. haha We also got the sopapillas for dessert and it was alright as well. Overall, I would rate the food as a 3.5 or 4 out of 5. However, the main reason why I gave a 5 star is because we had an AMAZING waitress. Her name is Sarah and LET - ME - TELL - YOU -ABOUT - HER. Sarah was literally smiling and cheery the ENTIRE time. She was not only like that when she was serving us, but she was even walking around like that. She was polite, friendly, patient, respectful, and just a delight to interact with. She was on top of things, too! We never had to ask her to refill anything because she automatically did it. I also love how she placed our dishes on the table. It was symmetrical and esthetic. The restaurant was also super loud but once when she was walking away and I called out her name, SHE HEARD ME. She was very attentive. Seriously, she was awesome. Come to Gringo's, not for the food, but for Sarah! lol

Yummo! Trying the Amazon wrap!
Ali B.

I stopped in here with some co-workers while traveling for business. What a great spot! Their menu was able to accommodate the different dietary needs of our group and the service was positive, quick, and patient with our menu questions. I ordered the Amazon wrap and it was absolutely delicious!! They also had chips and salsa on the table as soon as we were seated, my favorite! The vibe is bright, and cheerful. Definitely great for a family or small group to enjoy together.

The food is always delicious here. I love to order the fajita enchiladas with the white cream sauce. It's so good!! Plus during their happy hours, the drinks are pretty cheap as well. I would recommend coming during the week vs the weekend as it can get pretty crowded inside. But there is a lot of seating as well.

El Capitan
Caroline N.

Overall, loved our dining experience here. Besides having a long wait time, staff was very helpful and hardworking. Ambiance was perfect for dinner. Food was delicious and as expected. I ordered the El Capitan and it was amazing! The guacamole with chicharrones with queso was the perfect appetizer to share. Husband and I enjoyed the fresh salsa and creamy verde salsa with fresh chips, very refreshing. Overall, cannot wait to come back.

Burrito
Simply L.

Came here for lunch. The ambiance is pretty cool, what you would expect for a mexican restaurant. The drinks were big and good for a good price. The food was good but they didn't offer ceviche or birria tacos which was disappointing. The service was good. Overall it was a cool spot if you're ok not having those two options.

Melody C.

Food was great! Service was great! Music was good volume to allow conversations. I was actually really surprised how well the food tasted. Will def come back! Also, my 90 year old Grandma loved her order. Grandma approved!

The food here is AMAZING!!!! I got the Mango-Rita and a steak/chicken fajita bowl. The drink was mixed right and it had lots of mango flavor. The fajita bowl was seasoned sooooo well! As soon as I took a bite my friend and I looked at each other and said "DAAAAAAANG!" lol it's that's good! The chips and salsa was very fresh and it came with an Avacado sauce that was perfect. I can't wait to go back and visit this place! Ohhhhh... the service was TOP TIER and the restaurant is very nice, clean and high end!

Chips and verde salsa
Seneca D.

Decided to treat myself to lunch today and it was great. I started out with the Chips and Verde salsa which is great. I had the Ixtapa plate, which is grilled tilapia covered with their creamy crawfish and shrimp sauce, along with bacon wrapped shrimp, charo beans, and rice. I washed it down with a Caddy Rita, which is nice and strong and only $7.99 for the first two weeks of June. I sat at the bar and the service was great.

Mangonada
Roshini T.

Gringo's is one of the best spots for Tex-Mex in Katy! The restaurant is very large and seats large parties both inside and outside. It was a busy night when we went to dinner so we did find it a bit hard to hear eachother over all of the noise. The food was tasty. I have to start off with the salsa because every place has a slight variation in their salsas. Gringo's salsa is one of my favorites! Get flavorful and the perfect consistency. The enchiladas were also delicious and the mangonada was a must! Huge fan of Gringo's.

My story

So I sat at the bar, popping in for a margarita after shopping. Wow I've only been to the Sugarland…read moreLupe Tortilla & who knew the atmosphere & menu would be so different! This spot is much smaller & broken up into rooms/sections. I didnt even look at the menu & I progressed to order my standard Black barrel margarita that I always order at my Sugarland Lupe Tortilla & they informed me they dont have it. They told me if I didnt want a frozen margarita which they had in the machines I needed to order the Margarita's that were on the menu. The bartender was friendly but the overall experience... the vibe & premium drink options were just off putting for me. My conclusion is that I will stick to my Sugarland location because all Lupe Tortillas are not created equal.

I must be the last person in Katy , Texas to dined here. In point of fact, it may have been here…read morelonger than half the subdivisions, but with good reason. The food, the ambience, and the service are all outstanding. We went for Cinco de Mayo and the restaurant was packed however, from what I understand, it is often packed. Let's start with our server who was just wonderful. He not only guided us through the meal and the drinks, but he had very practical recommendations. His service was timely, and his friendliness was wonderful. We have the fajitas which were not only an apple serving, but the beef chicken and shrimp were all very flavorful. Typical to fajitas it came with enough accompaniments to really really make Forray a wonderful meal. The serving is so ample that it became a takeout meal as well. The ambience is typical of Mexican restaurants. However, the people who we were dining with in the same small dining room were incredibly friendly and old-time customers of the Restaurant. I can't tell you how many years. But given the food and service, I understand why. I'm guessing because it was Cinco de Mayo. There was also a mariachi band and they were just wonderful and added to the venue considerably. If you're in or around Katie Texas, you really do need to stop here.

Ventured out to Katy for a friend's birthday dinner, I have been here before but for quick…read morebreakfast. Ambiance: 5/5 Parking is ample and located near the restaurant. Inside it is spacious and has some colorful and lively decor. Great for groups or solo at the bar. Service: 5/5 The hostess was friendly and immediately directed me to my friend's table. Once seated, the waiter was very attentive and accommodating in checking in on us and getting our orders going. Food: 5/5 We ordered the beef and chicken fajitas to share. The beef fajitas were flavorful just as I'd hoped but the chicken was a bit dry. With the order we each get our own plate of rice and beans and choice of tortillas. The flour tortillas were delicious, almost like home made, so much so that I took the leftovers tortillas home to enjoy with butter. The highlight for me was the Skinny Margarita with my customization of adding a shot of Amaretto. I've been disappointed at other places because they never taste fresh, or have an extremely tart flavor, but the bartender had it down to a science because when I tell you from my first sip it was like heaven! Fresh, not too sweet and I only had one and was tipsy, I wasn't the only one. My two friends got the same one and agreed it was delicious and they too were tipsy. And you get your money's worth. I don't live in this area, but for this margarita, I may have to visit again soon. I'm thirsty thinking about it as I'm writing this and likely still thinking about it while you're reading this. I didn't get as many photos as I usually do, apologies, but I did get the Skinny margarita. Overall it was a good time, with good food and good drinks.

Between Saturday and Sunday, the only meal I had was Neca's nachos. I had to go to urgent care, where I was put on an IV and given medication to treat what was diagnosed as food poisoning. In addition to the above facts, my toddler ate a bit off my plate Saturday/Sunday and exhibited symptoms similar to mine. On Monday, June 30th at 9:04am, I called to share my experience with the staff. To be clear, my intention in calling was not to leave a negative review, but simply to bring the matter to the restaurant's attention - privately. Unfortunately, the owner, Albert, was defensive throughout the call. He said things like, "I don't doubt that happened, but we've never had a complaint," and dismissed my experience rather than showing concern. I explained I wasn't calling to leave a bad review but to make them aware. But alas, here we are. If you're looking for a place with good food and quality customer service, I suggest you look elsewhere. But if you're fine risking your health and dealing with defensive owners, Neca's may be the place for you.
