    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Food is typically good here as well as that watermelon margarita is my favorite. They also have great staff at the bar which I love very much

    I truly enjoy coming here and dining at the bar with Joshua (he's there Monday - Wednesday) because his service is top tier. Truly makes you feel at home. The food is delicious. I tried the Presidente yesterday and it was extremely tasty. Ambiance is a vibe. They have the tunes playing overheard, sports on each tv and the chips and salsa

    Ask the Community - Gringo's Mexican Kitchen

    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!!

Admittedly, I hear that voice a lot. In any case, I usually order the fajitas. They give you a decent quantity that tastes great. The meet is tender and flavorful and those tortillas had me at hello. I love this stuff! My son elects to go for the cheese enchiladas. I don't have to ask him how much he likes them because is a super picky eater and this is the one place where he actually cleans his plate. The margaritas are solid as well and when you glance around the restaurant, you'll see them on most tables. This place is a well oiled machine. There are plenty of staff and they all work unison to bring drinks / chips / salsa / refills / orders / food -- and that food usually comes out before I can feel guilty for eating chips, salsa, and queso. I found this trick that works for me. Since I 100% of the time feel guilty for leaving the place feeling so full, I started parking on the other end of the parking lot. This allows my to burn off 2.7 calories of the food that just ate so I feel 2.7 percent less guilty. On a serious note - this place is the real deal. While some of my previous favorites have either closed down or gone downhill a bit - Julio's has remained strong. ¡Salud!

We would have especially enjoyed some interaction with the chef-owner or the gentleman who seems to be her husband, since it did not seem very busy at the time, but they simply said "hello". Hopefully next time! And there will be a next time!
