A coworker and I swung by this TexMex restaurant for lunch recently. It had been several years since I'd been to Gringos, but I remember it being solid TexMex. We had a lovely time, and I was quickly reminded that this isn't jus one of the many TexMex spots it's the Houston area, but it's one of the better ones The restaurant is appealing and inviting from the outside. There's plenty of parking, a to-go station, covered patio seating, and plenty of seating inside The staff were great. We were greeted upon arrival and promptly sat at a table of our choosing. It wasn't completely packed, but much of the restaurant was full, yet we still had our pick of booth vs table vs bar etc We were provided complimentary chips and salsa. Both salsas are great, but the green one is creamy, packs a little heat, and is just delicious The menu offers pretty much all your signature TexMex meals from tacos, burritos, fajitas. Bowls, enchiladas, salads, soups, and many many more. There is a fully stocked bar with all sorts of beer and other drink options The food was terrific, and the display was exceptional. Everything was plated so well, and there were little touches here and there that showed they set they bar just a little higher Some tips: Join the Gringos TexMex insider club/reward loyalty program.

We arrived around 11:30 yesterday during lunch rush hour and got seated immediately. Diana was our server and very attentive to us. Diana took our order within minutes, margaritas and drinks served fairly quickly. She suggested their citrus tea, which was good but very sweet. I opted for the mango unsweetened tea and it was refreshing. The food did take a bit longer, but understandable. We usually go to their other restaurant, Jimmy Changas. The quality of the food and service is always consistently great with the Gringo's family! read more

The food was delicious. Ordered The Shrimp Veracruz with the fajita enchilada dinner. Also ordered the sampler. The pick up was timely and did not have to wait long.

Yessir was our waitress, she was amazing and very quick and accommodating! Food was amazing! She got our drinks ASAP, and even got to go tortillas for us! 10/10 service, such a nice waitress! read more

Look the food is great but don't get curbside because they let the food sit and they are always late. They are a little rude and I thought it was because I had a large order but I happened to my friends and my sister when they only had one meal. read more

I wish I could give 4.5 stars. Great service, wonderful food. Only downside was the shrimp for the banging shrimp tacos aren't crispy as on description. Definitely will return. read more

I came in to Gringos at 8:15pm and they were shutting the place down. I ordered one drink and at 8:20pm and was presented with the check before I had a chance to order food. Gringos is just Turning more into a trash restaurant that does not consider their customer service. I'm going to find a new place and recommend people do the same. This is a perfect example when a business start to slack and live off what it use to do in business. I won't come back. read more

We love Gringo's for birthday celebrations. We've celebrated our Grandchildren's birthdays here since 2014. Everyone can get something they like. pawpaw can get a beer with his dinner. And ice cream, always after but sometimes before dinner. read more

Gringo's Mexican Kitchen - Most of the family enjoying our celebration. Try the pastor bowl if you want to try something different! Delicious ! - Mexican Near Me - La Porte, Texas

I think my mistake was expecting their taco salad to be on par with the enchiladas or their fajitas- not in terms of taste obviously, but in terms of quality. I ordered a beef taco salad (to-go) that came in a less than crunchy shell, but the real miss was the meat: I've had more meat in a crispy side taco than was served on this entire entree. The flavor was fine, but in the end, I paid 15$ for shredded lettuce and a stale shell. Props on the margarita vinaigrette. Also the food was nicely assembled and packed for pick up. But ultimately, lesson learned. If I come again, it'll be on cheat day for enchiladas and a margarita. Gringos has not invested the same energy in their lighter fare. read more

We decided to try something new for family dinner night and went with the seasonal hatch chicken enchiladas and the marisco bowl. Absolutely delicious! The service was friendly and quick, as usual. The restaurant is always clean and they had a great variety of music playing. 10/10 read more

Danielle the bar tender is the BEST server I have ever had. She's so attentive and very nice!

Some of the best Tex-Mex I have ever had at any price, however, very affordable. They have a great selection, both of food and at the bar. The service is top-notch. With few exceptions the noise level is very acceptable. If possible, get there early to beat the rush. I really appreciate what the owner does in his support of veterans, more specifically, Camp Hope! read more

Great tasty food where you can't go wrong with any menu item. I have never had anything bad at Gringo's just some food greater than others. The atmosphere is always Plesant along with their servers.

I will never, I repeat, I will never order a take out from here ever again. I think I made it clear enough. This was an order for 4 to be had at the end of a business meeting. I said 12:15 NOT 11:45. The delivery lady wasn't sure if she had the right number of orders. The worse part is that substitutes were made without anyone from the restaurant asking. Did I give them enough time for the order?? YES, it was ordered online the night before. I hope management reads this review. read more

We love gringos and it is our go to. Everything is always fresh and delicious. The service is usually quick and the ambiance is upbeat.

Very good service, food was very good. Service was very excellent. Bar was very good and well stocked

Always consistently delicious. Their generosity to our La Porte community and those in need are other reasons why it's our top choice for Mexican food! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite on my way to the Southwest side of Houston. I haven't been to this location in a few years, but it's as good as it ever was! I ordered the Taco dinner with rice and beans, while my friend ordered the Burrito dinner with beef and rice and beans. We were both happy with our meals and times our visit just right because it got really crowded about the time we were ready to leave with people waiting to get in. Always a great place for Mexican Food and it's still a great location to stop at. I frequented the Texas City location more often as it was closer than this one, but you can't go wrong at any Gringo's!!!! Service is always great and you always have that great ambience at any location! read more

Delicious food and excellent atmosphere tons of pictures and relaxing lights and great service

Cannot go wrong here. Never had any real issues and the food is usually just fine. Prices can get up there real quick, but, it's okay. It is a popular spot so it can get crowded on weekends. I do enjoy their curbside option for pickup as well. read more

Gringo's has changed. We went for an early dinner today to avoid Valentine Day crowd. The food was good as always, but service was sadly lacking. We were seated right away, but took a couple minutes before a server took our drink order and brought chips, salsa & dip. The problem is we had to wait several minutes after she brought 1 glass of water before she brought a soda. Then wait again before she took our order though we were ready earlier. Then she brought part of my husband's order & rushed away without explaining why she only brought part of order. We waited over 20 minutes & manager stopped at table. We explained problem and he took care of it immediately. I doubt we will return. We noticed that not one server was smiling, too. One of the things we always liked about Gringo's in the past was friendly, smiling service. Today I felt like we were an inconvenience at best! read more

As a La Porte native, coming to gringos feels like coming home. While there are other locations in the city, the underwood location will always be my favorite! Everyone there is so sweet, it's always clean and the management team truly makes you feel like family. read more

Best Texmex food I've ever had conveniently located close to our home. They have Gluten-free enchiladas which are delicious.

A GRINGOS's version of mexican food, it was not bad, but store bought tortillas will always get a thumbs down. Especially when the food is more expensive than restaurants with home-made tortillas. read more

This place is excellent. I love the food. The atmosphere is beautiful. It is in the neighborhood so I don't drive far, but if I had to drive across town I would.
