Great happy hour specials Monday through Friday from 3-6 pm. I didn't eat during our visit. However, people in my party ordered the sampler. I didn't hear any complaints. They seemed to really enjoy the southwest rolls. I did have some of the complimentary chips and salsa. They were okay. The typical tomato paste salsa and green concoction you get at any other Tex-Méx place... nothing special really. I like the fact that one can sit on the patio and enjoy of the food and drinks while the kids play on the covered playground. The restrooms were super clean. And who doesn't like free ice cream on the way out. I did see our server spill a beer on the back of a customer's shirt. She was apologetic towards her. And she gave us a bit of an attitude when asking her for things. The amazing happy hour prices and overall experience helped us forget our server's flukes. Perhaps she was just having a rough day. Overall, the rest of then staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. My party and I had a great experience here. We will definitely be back again. read more

Gringo's Mexican Kitchen - Joseph the best waiter ever - Mexican Near Me - Spring, Texas

This is the worst gringos location I've ever been to. We had a bad experience since the beginning when they texted my husband that our table was ready and when we checked in the guy said that it would be a few min more because they were cleaning it up 15 min passed and table wasn't ready so I checked in and he said that it must have been a mistake to send us the message because our table was available yet after he had said they were cleaning one up already. Finally we got seated. The lady that brought our chips and salsa just threw the chips was super rude. We had to change tables because where they sat us I couldn't have a high chair for my kids. We got changed to our table and took like 20 min for someone to get our drink order and when they finally did took even longer to get our drinks plus they forgot our alcoholic drinks. We got queso as appetizer and didn't even refill our chips. Through out our night we kept on getting different waiters we didn't even know who was going to be our waiter . We had about 4 waiters. It wasn't even that busy because I would see tables next l to us who had double the people we had have their own waiter and got everything faster than we did. I would think it couldn't get worse We were all starving already when we finally got our food our order was wrong got quesadillas instead of nachos. Waiter #4 said we would have to wait for our new order to come out l. I did have a birthday dessert to redeem but I was so upset didn't even want to ask for it. I will never be coming back to this location they really need to get trained again. We were very dissatisfied. read more

https://hhs.texas.gov/services/disability/access-requirements-service-animals Know your laws before you enforce them! We were just recently dining at your establishment, and were treated very rudely. Trying to enforce a health code law that does not exist. It is completely ILLEGAL to ask for paperwork regarding a service animal. We were asked to leave as soon as our food came out because of a "health code law" that does not exist. I hope you let your staff know this is completely unacceptable, and if you choose to treat others in this manner, you could be taken to court. Fined up to $300 and 30 days of community service. You have lost 4 well paying/tipping customers. read more

My wife and I went to the Champions restaurant for our 26th anniversary. We were seated next to 2 adults with 4 children who were letting the children run all over the place, crawl under other people's table and throw food in the restaurant (striking two other diners near us). Of course the parents were doing nothing to control their children. Even after it was mentioned to the waitstaff no manager came over in the 45 minutes we were there to address the situation. We have been eating at this location since at least 2010, but we won't return. The service has gone down drastically in the last year. Shame, because tis used to be a nice place to dine. I contacted the customer service dept about this, gave them the info they asked for, and never heard back from them. Not surprised. Excellence starts at the top and it seems missing here. read more

Me and my wife have been going to a different TexMex/Mexican restaurant every Friday night since we moved here several months ago. I have to say this place is in our top 5.

I've been to this Gringos location 3 times previously and had great service and great food which is why today's visit was such a standout. When they have an off day, they go all out! When walking in we were greeted by a hostess reluctantly. Our party was my husband and I and our 8 month old daughter. We told the hostess a table for 2.5 please. She led us to a booth where I asked, how is a booth possible with a highchair? She said oh you can't put a highchair on a booth. I looked at my daughter and there was a long pause where she then said oh, you need a highchair? Uhm. So then she stated she would put us at a table but it wasn't cleaned off yet. We said that was fine as we don't have much choice and we had seen some friends at another table we would say hello to while the table got cleared. When we returned to the table the dishes were gone butbt the table was still dirty. She appeared with a towel and brushed the dirty table off and I asked if she could wipe the tomato off my chair. She just swept it onto the floor. Eh. She then went to grab a high chair and dropped it off and left. I called her back and asked for a towel as it had food in the seat. She grabbed a towel and handed it to me. She then saw I was cleaning the high chair and then apologized and said she didn't see it was dirty. How not??? We finally got seated on cleaned seats and ordered drinks, appetizers and food. After drinks appeared someone dropped off chips, salsa and the green stuff but placed the green one right in front of my 8 month daughter. I was drinking my drink and didn't move fast enough! Green salsa stuff all over the table, my daughter and my Michael Kors leather purse beside the table. As in the entire front of my purse :( Another employee saw it and I said please bring us a towel so I can keep the salsa from my daughter's mouth let alone wipe all this off the table and my leather bag. They returned with some paper towels. Finally after we went through over 10 napkins someone appeared with a wet rag. How is it not taught to never ever place food in front of a child? Any child?? Just don't. The parent will appreciate it. The appetizer arrived- queso with chicharrones. No plates for my husband or I and we still didn't get silverware or napkins. The waiter wasn't anywhere to be seen and I told my husband I was sure we we would get our meals and still no silverware. Granted I'm still upset that I have to go home and find the leather cleaner for my handbag. Our meal arrived and when the waiter asked if we needed anything, we informed him silverware would be nice. Lol The rest of the meal went well and the food, as always, was delicious but tonight was our worst experience ever here. I really hope this isn't a constant as tonight was enough to turn me off of this location. At least an apology would have been nice but none was offered by anyone. read more

Well due to Covid-19 things have changed but one thing remains the same that's Gringo's my experience since their reopening was exceptional first I had to make a reservation which was good it was quick and efficient then once I got there I understood the new operating procedures I felt their number one thing was safely we arrived on time everyone had on mask we had on mask also until we eat they had everyone with tables between them and there was a time limit for dining in which was brilliant immediately after a guest leave they are cleaning and prepping for the next guest I will definitely be back the food was great and the margarita read more

We randomly stopped here for drinks and a "snack" , not expecting much from a tex/mex chain restaurant... But oh my! I was pleasantly surprised... We ordered combo fajitas ( chicken and beef) comes with the standard beans rice guacamole and pico de gallo... It was actually VERY good!

See all

So after my last review stating my disappointment, I decided to give my local Gringos another try. Yeah, big mistake. The first pic shows the empty salsa bowls that were never filled. The second is my finished dinner plate. The third is my never touched ice tea that I asked for sugar for and I never received. When did I receive my sugar? After I received my check. After my previous review, I received an email from Gringos asking for contact information. Did they ever contact me? Nope. I should give the location a one star review but that would be insulting to everyone else who works there. read more

great meals , drinks were on spot . tijuana twister and star spangled rita are the best drinks in my opinion. the fajita and the chicken is great . shrimp pacifico is very delicious. read more

Food was tasty but by the time we got it, it was hardly room temperature like it had been sitting for half an hour. I dont know if there's a bean shortage due to covid right now but the two spoonfuls I was given with my enchiladas was such a small portion it was almost comical. At least the green sauce was good! read more

Ordered a case so it was watery and cold the temperature of the food was not very hot at all My sister had the seafood enchiladas in us she said they tasted like they took them out and stuck them in the microwave read more

Our party literally walked out. 15 minutes seated and no one came up to help. The entire place is run by 16-18 year olds and the quality of service shows. I would be more than happy to wait if the place was busy, since I used to work as a waiter in college, but the place was slow tonight and employees were playing on their phones instead of acknowledging paying customers. Not the same service they had before they closed and re-opened. read more

It's really nothing special the food is a good price for what it is, and the service was pretty good but over all it wasnt anything special.

Hey all! Came to gringos on 10/4 with my family and my brother who just moved from California and my grandma. Was a little worried my grandma would not find something she liked on the menu but on the contrary so many great things happened this day. Our waiter was Chris, he was by far the most amazing waiter we could have asked for. He was super friendly, great attitude and definitely caring. We were all unsure of drinks and what we wanted so we were going to just settle with cokes and unsweet teas, but Chris explained to us they offered these really great drinks that were like Arnold Palmers with a touch of orange juice, he said they were always his favorite since he started working there and we all went for it. Best tea/lemonade/juice combination ever! Not only was he helpful but just his uplifted attitude made this experience worth every minute. My grandma loved the chicken enchiladas she ordered and my brother practically drank the cilantro salsa. My husband ordered a shrimp salad and I got the shrimp Veracruz which since my 2nd visit I have actually really liked. The vegetarian black beans are amazing! My brother ordered a chicken quesadilla and my son the tío taco. Everything was delightful, everyone enjoyed their meal but most of all, CHRIS made this happen for us with his personality, excellent customer service, and his attentiveness. I know my first visit was not the best, my second was pretty cool but the third visit is the charm! THANKS CHRIS FOR BEING KIND TO ME AND MY FAMILY! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!! So to all my elite foodies out there, if you're hanging around Cypresswood and hungry, you know where to go! Ask for CHRIS, and try that tea/juice combo it's sooo tasty! read more

ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED. 9/18/2019 Wanted to take the family out to a back to school dinner at a nice place but ended up spending hard earned money on what was the WORST DINNING EXPERIENCES EVER. .. Took over 45mins for setting with the restuarant at 50-75% capacity. After we were settled at our table took 15 mins to get our drinks ordered. I was like ok, the waitress is trying her best, no big deal until she forgot some drinks and never returned until it was time to take our order...what was about another 20min. At this time the chips and drinks are ALL low so we asked for refills and guess what,,, took another 10mins.. Now I'm NOT ENJOYING what was to be a nice family dinner. Chips and drinks are filled (still missing one drink).. Tried getting another waitress attention but was greeted with extreme attitude. Now I'm asking my wife and kids if am I doing something wrong... WTH Food comes out 1hr 15min after ordering... Now.. no one's hungry because everyone is filled on chips.. If the evening couldn't get worse.. a FIGHT BREAKS OUT between customers, waitstaff inside of the restaurant... YES a fight... Everything settles down and I get my bill.. still missing one drink but billed for it. Paid it just to get the F out of there. On the way out the manger is outside cursing the same fighting people. *** WORST $100.00 ever spent *** VIDEO OF FIGHT to COME read more

Love this place. Always have amazing service and food. Their portions are large and priced appropriately. Much better than Pappasitos.

i have been ordering food,going in to the restaurant to eat,and doing take out from this gringos location since it opened several years ago..they did close for about 6 months after harvey to remodel due to flooding damage..in any case,i am quite familiar with the food,the service and the operations in general at this location,which i patronize because its close to my home..it is unfortunate that they have been having problems with the delivery option from this location,for which they use DOOR DASH..i have had the experience (more than once over the last several months)to either NOT get my order,have parts of it missing,or have it not be what i ordered at all..i have called the location each time,and been advised i had to talk to DOOR DASH,whose offices are not here so you have to call a toll free number if you can get through,and IF you get through,they tell you to contact the restaurant for the refund or to complain,so when you do,the restaurant puts you on hold to get a manager who tells you they cant refund so you have to contact DOOR DASH..its a "circle of incompetence"..!you then have to contact the credit card company yourself for a refund of the order,and tell them the story again!i use the APP online that gringos has set up to order,and NOT the DOOR DASH one,so you would think as a frequent customer and a loyal one,these problems would not keep coming up..it IS very frustrating..although i love their food,and even went into the restaurant to meet friends for lunch a few weeks ago,i may try to find a place without the delivery issues.. i might add that the server we had at our table (3 of us)was told 3 checks,3 different cards at the end, and she confused us all by totalling it on one check,then splitting it on two others and she also got 3 tips...my whole point is,maybe another gringos(this is the one on cypresswood and stuebner airline called Champions gringos) would have better service,better online ordering,and maybe NOT use DOOR DASH..i am not sure..the food does remain consistently good,but the portions are smaller than they used to be as well..thanks read more

To go order packaged fresh and all items correct! Love their enchiladas. Never disappointed!

Went here recently with my family and I had a really great experience! The customer service was amazing and our waiter was very attentive! My family really enjoyed their food and I did too. I got a spinach quesadilla with beans and rice on the side. It tasted great. I'm really glad that they had lots of seafood options because my parents love things like shrimp tacos and shrimp quesadillas. Also, we were all really happy about the free ice cream at the end! I would definitely recommend that you give this restaurant a try! read more

Love the Rosita. Fresh tostada balanced with a super cheesy enchilada - craveable! Wait staff is always right on it - great spot in our neighborhood. read more

UPDATE: My family was able to return to Gringo's and had a much better dining experience. We were seated at a booth near the bar. This meant that the two bartenders were our waiters. We almost immediately received chips and the salsas. We were waited on quickly. The time between giving our order and getting our food was still a good long wait, but it tasted good. Everyone enjoyed their meal - but the kids barely ate (filled up with chips before the food came out). I'm increasing my rating from a 1 to a 4 star. Good food. Pretty good service. Nice atmosphere. Good presentation on the plates. The wait for the food is the only thing that, in my opinion, keeps Gringo's from getting 5 stars from me. Would I return? Yes - if it didn't look busy, and/or my children were not with me. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I want to start out by saying that I loved Gringo's before this evening. I used to come here on a semi-monthly basis with a co-worker. We had the best service! My cup was never empty. Chips and salsa came within minutes of sitting. Food came fast, piping hot, and fresh! My family would come for special occasions. However, I am so disappointed with our experience at Gringo's tonight. I called ahead to inquire if they took reservations. They don't. Fine. No problem. (although I'd recommend it - or call ahead seating). My family arrived (3 adults and 3 children) celebrating Grandma's birthday. We often like to celebrate special occasions at Gringo's. It has been a family favorite. We told them we were a party of 6. The place was packed!!! And it was just a Tuesday night?!? Luckily (I thought), we were immediately seated at a booth. "Happy day!" I thought! Now we can dig in to that delicious salsa and creamy avo dip! It took a solid 5 minutes to be noticed by our server. NOTE: Please keep track of these times, because they are REAL! Finally, Stephanie came to take our drink orders. She asked if we wanted an appetizer. I declined, mentioning that I was anxious to get into the chips and salsa and avo dip. Well, that didn't show up for 10 MORE minutes! 15 minutes into our visit before chips and salsa arrived. A few minutes later, Stephanie arrived again to take our order. We had been ready to order for some time, now. We all gave our order. I didn't realize that we wouldn't see our order for another 45 minutes!!! There was a booth behind me where the family had received their food, ate, and left, and another family came, was seated, ordered, and their food arrived at the same time as ours?!?!?!??! Their food came within 10-15 minutes of being seated. We got our food more than one hour after being seated!!! By the time the food arrived, my kids had demolished both bowls of chips, completed the front and back of the activity pages, and had their heads on the table - ready for bed! They barely touched their food (well, there goes $18 down the drain). Back to when our food arrived. the adults and one child received their food (this was 60 minutes in to our visit) followed by another 5-7 minute wait for the other two kid's plates to come out! One was wrong. It was 'fixed'. We wanted to wait for everyone to get their food before we dug in, but it was just getting ridiculous at this time. "Do you need anything else?" the waitress asked. I asked for our receipt (since I had no idea how long it would take to cash out, even though we had just received our food). She brought our check, swiftly walked by and set it on the table....and that was the LAST we saw of Stephanie. She never came back. I sat with an empty Coke Zero for most of my meal. Grandma asked some random waitress (who happened to walk by) for some 'To-Go' containers. Random waitress girl brought some by. We sat and waited. And waited. Stephanie never returned to take my credit card. We were done eating in about 5 minutes because we were all frustrated (or asleep - if you were a kid) and waited another 10 minutes AFTER FINISHING our food before Travis (i'm assuming, because his name was on the cash out receipt), who seemed like a manager of some sort, offered to cash us out. So, I understand that tonight was a special elementary spirit night at the restaurant, but that should be planned for! This was the worst service I have received in over a year! It was the WORST! My children's elementary school often has spirit night at Texas Roadhouse, and the experience and service there is always amazing! You'd never know the difference (spirit night vs. non-spirit-night). read more

My family and I went out to dinner last night. Service was absolutely awful! We waited for 45 minutes for a table when there was multiple tables open. We finally got seated and ordered our drinks and it took forever to receive them, we were already finished with the basket of chips by the time we received our drinks and were still missing some. 45 minutes later we finally got the attention of a waiter near the bar after getting ignored by waitstaff so we could get a water. We waited way over an hour to receive our food and we were still missing a part of a plate. Everyone was already finished with their food by the time the waitress came back and we finally got the rest of their plate. To top off the night a fight ended up breaking out in the restaurant between 3-4 customers, 2 of them were obviously over served alcohol and were stumbling out once they were escorted and pulled out by staff and customers. read more

Gringo's Mexican Kitchen - Mexican Near Me - Spring, Texas

Among the culinary drek around Klein High School is this gem. One two consistently great restaurants in the area, I have never been disappointed when eating here. The stuffed pepper is better than I've had from anywhere else, and their other menu items have a very well-balanced flavor profile. Most other tex mex places go heavy on the salt/fat or load up your plate with colorless shredded lettuce, but This Gringo's never disappoints! read more

Some of the best tex mex, you can't go wrong with cheese enchiladas or fajitas. Green sauce is amazing! Better than most mexican around by far! read more

Wilson was awesome and very fast! Glad I was able to get him as a waiter! Food came out fast and hot

Our waiter was great today! On top f his game! Want to come back! He's great! His name is Abel! Champions location!

Would give 0 stars if I could. My husband and I went there last night and we were seated without a bad wait. Our waiter, Joseph was AMAZING!! He stopped by our table to check on us several times during our meal. The food was hot and fresh and sooo delicious! It was a very pleasent evening, until who I can only assume was a manager (dressed differently than the staff) made a comment we overheard. The manager (I found out later his name is Greg) told our waiter, Joseph that Joseph will not be getting a tip, that he'll give it to someone who works harder. I felt so embarrassed for Joseph, not just because it was infront of others, but because he has to work under such an unprofessional and cocky manager. Greg had a bad attitude and after we overheard that comment to Joseph, we watched Greg for a short bit. He was ugly to all the staff he encountered and was even rude to customers! I'll go back and order from Joseph all day, everyday... once this Greg guy is out of there. read more
