    Lunch time...had to get one of their bowls that came out a year or so ago.. Pastor bowl...so good Make sure you ask for bar sauce if you want a hotter salsa

    My friends and I visited on a Friday around 4:30pm. We walked right in and were seated immediately as they were not busy just yet. The restaurant is pretty large with a mix of warm lighting and natural light depending on where you're sitting. It seems as though they may be renovating in certain spots of the restaurant the time we visited. Our waiter Dave was friendly, attentive, informative, and efficient. The complimentary chips and salsa were good. We took advantage of their happy hour for drinks. We each had a Cadillac margarita which was pretty good. My friend and I chose the Marisco bowl. I chose the meat combo of chicken/steak and she chose the chicken Marisco bowl. My other friend had the chicken quesadillas. The food was fresh, but in my opinion lacked flavor. I loved the prices of Gringos, but did not like my dish as much. My friends enjoyed their meals. As the night went on the restaurant became full. They have complimentary ice cream and cones for dessert that patrons get themselves. When we attempted to partake, the cones were gone and the station was messy from patrons not cleaning up after themselves. I would return to this location again and try a different dish. I would also recommend this business to others for decent happy hour drinks and food.

    Chips and Salsa

    Vibe was really laid back and chill. Hostess even let us choose our own booth. Server came quick and refilled Salsa twice as we were running out. I really appreciated the courtesy from each of the staff.

    Last week, I took a little road trip with two of my grands and a friend to The Woodlands for a Trader Joe's run, and then headed over to Spring for lunch at Gringo's Mexican Kitchen. What a treat! The chips and their famous green sauce were definitely a hit with everyone at the table. The salsa was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the others really enjoyed it. For our entrees, three of us ordered the Pastor Bowl--and let me tell you, it was fabulous! It comes loaded with marinated pork al pastor, cilantro lime rice (I swapped the rice for sautéed veggies), black beans, pineapple, pickled red onions, avocado, and a drizzle of chipotle mayo. The pork was incredibly flavorful, and the combination of sweet and savory elements made for a perfectly balanced and delicious dish. I would absolutely order it again. Our other friend chose the Monty-Ray: a grilled chicken breast topped with grilled onions and melted cheese, served with pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and rice. It looked amazing and got a thumbs-up, too. Our waiter, Brick, was delightful--friendly, attentive, and helpful. The ambiance inside Gringo's was festive and full of personality--pure Mexicano charm. If you ever find yourself near a Gringo's, don't pass it up. The food, the service, and the atmosphere all shine. Best Bites approved!

    Amazing food  I had the Seafood Enchilada Dinner with a watermelon on ice margarita

    Amazing place I had the seafood enchiladas with a on ice margarita very tasty and reasonable they have outside and inside dinning in and free ice cream at the end friendly staff

    Enchilada combo plate

    Came here on a Sunday evening and joined the waitlist online so we didn't have a long wait. Highly encourage anyone to take advantage of that because it does get crowded and we noticed several large parties. I first noticed the decor-it's cozy but a lot of wood and low lighting so it feels dark. I love the booths -it was very spacious for two people. Waitstaff were polite. It did take a while for them to remove used plates off the table but otherwise they were responsive and our order was correct. Food was good. I ordered the enchilada combo plate. I liked the beef best. The green salsa was more sauce than flavor in my opinion. My companion enjoyed their meal with an extra side of shrimp for protein. I tasted one bite of the churros and wasn't enticed to eat more. We asked if it was possible to order ice cream for dessert and our server told us there was no ice cream. Imagine our surprise when we saw people lining up for ice cream at a machine when we exited. I suppose that I should have been tipped off by the leftover 3-4 eaten ice cream cone that was sitting in between our booth and another... 3 stars because I have had other chain food that tasted better than this but still this wasn't a bad effort.

    Gringos is the place to go especially when craving Tex-Mex. Went with some friends visiting for the weekend. Surprisingly, it wasn't crowded. We were sat right away. Our service started off well, but when we ordered, we advised that we needed a to go order, and once our food made it to us, we didn't see the waitress anymore. We couldn't put the Togo order in the kitchen was closed. Food Veracruz 10/10 Marsico bowl 8/10 Service Lizette 5/10

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the chicken nacho plate, which was your run of the mill nachos. The service was pretty good although I did not like trying to be up sold for drinks. The decor was cute, but unsure if I will return.

    Combination plate pollo

    Having never been here we were very pleasantly surprised. Aasheeta, our waitress literally made my wife say even if the food sucked we come back just bc of her service, she was so amazing. Lucky for us (and any one interested inc checking this place out) the food is so good. We both had combination plates and they were so good. The taquitos, southwestern egg rolls, enchiladas, all So yummy. The chips and salsa was delicious as well as the green sauce. Aasheeta also brought out the "avalanche" (?) sauce and another one that was like a chimichurri sauce and I seriously cannot tell you which one was the best they were all so good. Also must try the shrimp empanadas, literally everything we had was perfectly flavored.

    Good service and good food, this gringos location did it all great! Our food came out so fast! The interim was nice too. The service here was pretty great. The hostess was really nice & the food came out so quick. The waiters are quick to leave your table (if you don't have a comment or anything), but overall a good experience. The southwest egg rolls were pretty delicious, especially when dipped in the amazon sauce. The chimichanga was good. The refried beans has a nice Smokey flavor. The rib-eye street tacos were also pretty delicious. Overall, the food was nice, the vibe was good, and the service was great. I'd come back here again

    Are there any gluten free options for enchiladas?

    enchiladas are on the gf menu, but you have to get them without the tortilla.

    Does Gringo's do takeout? It seems like the listing on Yelp and even their website go out of the way to not mention takeout. Good or bad experience for others?

    Yes I have ordered to go several times. They have parking spaces reserved for Take Out with separate entrance. It is always delicious food!!

    I visited here during happy hour one day. I'd previously visited one of their other locations…read moreseveral years ago since I heard they had really great cheese enchiladas. On this visit I just wanted a drink and a small bite though. Upon walking in, the restaurant was nearly full and bustling. I spotted some seats over at the bar area in the back right so I sat there. There are happy hour specials ending at 6pm weekdays but the bartender told me about the daily specials and how the Natalitas margarita was stronger than the happy hour one for about the same price, so I chose that one. I ordered the large for $10.25 which comes in an 18 oz large glass. After looking at the menu, I settled on one of my typical orders at happy hour, the small (8 in) beef fajita quesadilla. This comes out after about 10 mins and it has the typical sour cream and guacamole on the sides. There is plenty there to be placed on all 8 of the quesadillas. This is a pretty standard tasting quesadilla, nothing really stood out about it. Same goes for the margarita. Keep in mind this is a discounted drink and made with pre-mixed sweet and sour from a large plastic bucket at the back of the bar area using a house tequila and a house orange liquor. I couldn't read the labels on either bottle since they turned them backward during my entire visit. Not sure if they do this on purpose or not. Either way, there are better quality margarita options obviously, using fresh juice they store in their refrigerator and a margarita that is actually shaken. The discounted ones are so discounted, they actually just pour the ingredients into an ice filled glass and ask you to stir it yourself when they place it in front of you. Either way, it is a convenient location and the prices of their entrees are reasonable compared to some other Mexican restaurants around town. I don't think I saw any dish above 18.99. Mondays look to be a good day to come for their Patron margarita special for around $10.99.

The previous dining experience before this one, was not good, but I didn't post about it. I was really hoping it was a one time issue. The chips were so greasy you feared eating them for getting sick. The manager acknowledged how bad they were, and said they had an issue with the supplier. He said rather than not serve chips, they decided to serve them. They were inedible. Also the once delicious salsa has gotten watery. After my food arrived, I sent the taco back because the shell was the same as the chips. So greasy and the taco poured grease out of it. This last trip, the chips were better, but still very greasy and tasteless. The nachos I had would be about the quality of Chilis. No refried beans. Most restaurants layer refried beans, cheese and meat for SIX almost $20 dollar nachos. The chicken fajita meat was dry, and the beef was not good. A few bites were not edible. Another note- The once delicious tortillas were super thick and gummy. The manager came by and I explained everything to him . He didn't have much to say and didn't really seem concerned... other than taking off $2 of the bill. Which I do appreciate! It's still a beautiful restaurant, just sadly the food has changed too much for it be a top place for me.
