This Location was AMAZING! I brought everyone my family here for my daughter's 12th birthday today. I honestly thought I had picked the Stafford location but honestly, I'm sure glad I did not. Big difference The staff was very hospitable, pleasurable, the drinks were on point, food was hot and great. Usually, I remember no one even when I want to, but today I did. I believe the host who answered the phone repeatedly for me name was Jasmine if I'm wrong I'm sorry, but she was great very attentive and receptive and helpful. The manager Eddie was very accommodating. Our Server Josh was the bomb! I think the other manager also chipped in with supporting his staff but helping bring drinks to the table along with other staff. I have 0 complaints. You can tell when a restaurant is being managed properly/well and their staff is supported by management and their team members. I have done it all, managed, served, bartend and when you have you can be certain observant to a lot of things and can have lots of understanding but also know when a place will not get your business again. Thanks again we will be back. Ps I really hope I got my servers name right ( I waited to long to finish my post) if not I hope it helps that it was a Sunday lunch for 1/1:30pm part of 14, server was a young black male, professional but jokingly spirit and literally out all the drinks on a separate check-inside thing, when you know you know. Oh! Also the Ambiance was lovely, felt more lively an vibrant then the Pearland and Stafford location. read more

Date of visit: January 28, 2026 Unfortunately, this was a very frustrating experience. We waited over an hour for our food and were still waiting with no clear update or sense of urgency from the staff. Long waits can happen, but what made this worse was the lack of communication no explanation, no time estimate, nothing. When you come out to eat, especially at a restaurant like Gringo's, you expect better service and at least some consideration for your time. This visit fell far short of that expectation. Very disappointing, and sadly not an experience I'd want to repeat. read more

Finally made my first visit to a Gringos restaurant and Sugar Land was the closest location. The restaurant is very popular and was full with a long waiting list by six o'clock. Our party of 7 arrived at 5:15 and was seated within 15 minutes. There were plenty of staff so there were no long waits after being seated. The dining experience started with a Cadillac Margarita (four star rating) was a very well balanced drink. The food was served hot and everyone was happy with their choices. I had the steak enchiladas with an Avocado Salsa. The steak was well seasoned and tender. The salsa generously covered the entire dish had the perfect amount of spice and flavor. Steak enchiladas earned a four rating with the salsa giving it a great boost. However, the accompanying rice and charro beans were a solid five. read more

Dined with a party of 7. They don't take reservations so they told us to arrive before 6p on a Saturday if wanted to beat the crowd. 5:30pm arrival was perfect, no wait. Food: The red salsa & creamy green salsa with the tortilla chips were both full of flavor. They weren't spicy so I asked for hot sauce & they brought me an additional red & green sauce that had more of a spiciness but it was still subtle. Regardless, all 4 sauces were super flavorful. I ordered fish tacos which came with grilled, not fried, fish. The avocado & coleslaw toppings with the tacos plus the avocado sauce (which is 1 of 4 sauces you can request) made for a good tasting fish taco. You can substitute vegetables (zucchini, squash, peppers, mushroom mix) instead of beans & rice. Well seasoned veggies They accidentally gave me rice anyway & to my surprise it had great flavor. I usually just ignore the rice when I eat Tex-Mex. Also, the charro beans had sausage & green peppers in it, again very good. Everyone in the party enjoyed their food which included taco salad, steak enchiladas, steak tacos, fajitas, & seafood enchilada. Drinks: Those who ordered the grande Cadillac margaritas thought their drinks had a nice kick. Those who ordered the small Cadillac margaritas felt like their drinks were watery. Interesting. The food is good. I need to come back & try their margaritas again. Don't forget to get the self-serve free soft serve ice cream cones (its a bit watery so maybe it's ice milk or frozen yogurt) but hey it's free & it gives a check mark for an "ice cream" fix. read more

Go to another location!! I can't eat Beans nor Rice. I asked to please replace it with a small amount of lettuce and tomatoes... waitress said no problem... 15 min later manager comes to our table having a fit because they normally don't do that.. well I have never had any problems at other locations. This Guy was a complete douch-bqg and very unprofessional . I am paying for my food!! Not like I'm getting it for free!' Yall need a new manager at this location. He is no bueno!!! read more

Food a service was amazing! Server made sure the meal order was what order and that it was good!

What an amazing team at this location. It is by far my favorite restaurant. The staff is always friendly, kind and eager to assist with anything needed. My most prolific moment is watching how well all of the staff work together along with the managers handling all of the task with ease. We had a large party and MARIO was simply amazing. He made sure to provide recommendations and handled all specific accommodations as requested. He would consistently check to make sure we were okay and celebrated one of my friends with the traditional GRINGO"S Birthday chant. Rebecca was absolutely amazing. Watching her maneuver on the one leg bike in and around other staff speaks volumes of her character and willingness to lead an amazing team. All of the food was delicious, fresh , hot and pricey. Well on that same note it was surely worth the price. I am ready to go back and visit again because I always enjoy eating at this restaurant and watching the amazing smiles as they serve us with excellence. read more

This place is probably the most reliable restaurant for me in this area- service and food are consistently good. It does get busy at dinner time. I tried something new this time, the chicken taquitos from the appetizer menu but made it a meal by adding rice and beans and queso. Really liked this! The taquitos were nice and crispy and the chicken was well seasoned. Love that it comes with guac, pico, sour cream, and queso. It is a lot of food, I took half of it home. read more

Came here for a friend's 50th birthday. Our friend who organized the lunch came an hour early to decorate our reserved section (3 tables) and our waiter Milton actually helped her. He was very patient and kind with us and worked hard (he was our only server). Our helium balloons escaped to the ceiling and he even stood on top of the counter and retrieved them for us. We tipped him extra on top of the added gratuity. I got the enchiladas suizas. The best I've had in town are from El Tiempo (comes with 1 or 2). Here it comes with three and costs the same as El Tiempo. It was good but the rice was bland and the food cooled too quickly/didn't stay hot long. Love that there's complimentary soft serve. Overall great experience and food for my first time here. read more

Gringo's Mexican Kitchen - Tex-Mex Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

Halloween 2025 at Gringo's Sugar Land was such a treat! They offered free meals for kids in costume, which made the night extra special. Our server, Andreas, was absolutely on point -- friendly, attentive, and professional. He asked if we were Tex Mex Insiders (their loyalty program), suggested appetizers without being pushy, and nailed our order perfectly. Our chip basket stayed full, our water glasses never went empty, and he treated me and my son like VIPs -- even though we were probably his smallest check of the night. Armando, the manager, checked on us several times and clearly leads by example. You can feel the strong team culture he's built. I had the Hatch Chile Enchiladas (my new favorite -- sad they're only around until 11/3), and my son had his usual mac and cheese, which he devoured. read more

Service was 5 stars by the wait staff on a stormy evening. Ambiance is family friendly, casual and good for groups. For a local chain restaurant this had a family feel. Lots of families w kids and older adults, handicap friendly. Food was overall good--if you're a fan of Tex Mex you'll probably like this. Skip the sugary drinks and maybe ask for sauces on the side if you're not into queso. Green dipping sauce for the tortilla chips is always a favorite. Also don't miss the kids free cones on the the way out. Prices are reasonable and parking is plentiful. Manager last night seemed really kind and you can tell this isn't his first rodeo. Wait staff was young and hard working, also respectful across the board. Well done Gringo's team! read more

First time to visit. The salsa for the chips were both AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. Both were full of flavor. The charro beans, refried beans, rice, and enchiladas were great. All very flavorful. I would eat here again. The waiter was very polite and very attentive. The atmosphere was quiet. The dining area was very clean. read more

Took the wife for Valentine's. The red salsa & creamy green salsa with the tortilla chips were both full of flavor as usual. I had the Pacifico Shrimp and wife had the beef fajitas. Both were excellent. Service was good and food came out hot and fresh just like I like it. A little loud by the bar so next time I will ask for a different table. read more

Our usual spot for Tex Mex food in Sugar Land area. Good service, kids got little ice cream cones on the way out

Delicious food, fairly priced. Always busy. Free ice cream is always something the kids love.

Every few months I forget how bad the pickup service is here. I order food and come pick it up curbside. I text my name and spot number. After waiting 15 minutes I go in to get my order to find multiple employees standing around and my order sitting there getting cold. Just stay away! And have a longer memory than me! read more

Service wasn't too great when I came on a Monday night (May 6). Maybe this server was kinda new. Food still taste very good. Food Came out quick but took forever when I needed to ask for more tortillas. They gave me an option for free chalupa or tostada but then server said they can't honor the free chalupa . Caught me off guard after he asked me which one I wanted. Barely refilled our drinks and it was kind of annoying. Still will give this location another chance bc Gringos is my go to Tex-Mex read more

I like details so this will be long-ish (mostly for the owner and managers to see.) Just got back from Sugar Land River Park Gringos 7/13/24. It's 6:41pm. Party was 4, myself (mom) my husband and two daughters. (11 and 16). Suggestion: Please tell your hostess to wash her hands in the bathroom for 30 seconds before returning to work. What I saw today was nasty. But she's a hostess, so I didn't say anything. Rest of the restaurant: I always have an amazing time at this Gringos. But today blew me away. The food was above and beyond delicious. I don't know who's A team was in the back cooking but they were on it this evening! The bar made me a watermelon margarita. It was with the basic taquilla and still they somehow made it taste top shelf. I had it on the rocks and it was the best margarita I've had in a LONG time. The managers made frequent rounds making sure the tables were good and the wait staff didn't need extra assistance. Everyone was on their game. It was what you'd expect from a 5 star restaurant! All that was amazing but the person who prompted me to write this review was our writer Josh. I use to be a Hooter girl and I'm now a school psychologist. I say this to say I know how to wait tables and I know how to watch people's behaviors. Josh was so on it. Food was out fast and hot. Two bites two minutes, he's rushing over asking how is everything tasting!? Constantly attentive, never let our drinks go dry, every time he came to the table he either was delivering or taking something out of the way. Many times he looked over at our table while waiting on another table to avoid disturbing us but still stayed attentive. He pre bused the table at the end. It was all of that and more. I have not had service this good in a long, LONG time. I have gone to SEVERAL high end and wanna be high end "Instagramable" restaurants where I'm paying $85 a plate or a tab for just myself alone hits around $110. The food and especially the service are no where near as good at those places as we had today at Gringos. Bravo and hats off to Mr. Joshua. I don't know what you plan on doing moving forward in the future but if you can split your attention and wait on several different people's wants and needs getting them right at the same time, and with a smile on face, take it from a former Hooter girl lol you're going to make big things happen. Keep it up! I'll be requesting Josh next time I go to Gringos. read more

Listen, this place is AMAZING !!!!! Probably the best Mexican food in the area. Come here for a cozy fun vibe that is family and KID friendly. Service is stellar , our server was Eduardo he was fantastic. The green and red salsa was a hit with my 1.5 year old kid who was dipping her fingers in it and licking it off ! I got the vegetable fajitas ! My baby girl ate the vegetables, side of black beans and guac that came w it. My husband got the chicken fajitas which he loved as well - it's chicken sitting on a bed of grilled onions. The only thing is that the drinks aren't strong and the grande marg is def not worth the price compared to regular marg. Just ordering 2 of the regular ones is the better option. We are new to the area and have found out GO TO local Mexican restaurant ! So happy !!! read more

The ribeye tacos are so flavorful!!They come with side of ranchero and guacamole sauce and lime but honestly you don't need them as the tacos are full of flavor without it . I asked for cooked onion instead or raw bc eww- never raw onions and they were still so, so good! Can't really give them 5 stars bc I came after lunch rush hours (2:00 pm) sat at the bar and had to wait 9 minutes to be greeted after I was seated. Luckily happy hour starts at 2 so I had me a Cadillac marg and it really was loaded with tequila! Im thinking the bartender felt bad for me since I waited so long. My plate came with rice and a choice of charro or refried beans. Had charro and they were good. The rice was also surprisingly good. This place has complementary soft serve ice cream. Didn't have room for it but it's for sure a nice treat to add to your meal. read more

El capitan (combo steak and chicken $34.49) - may seem pricey at first, but it's a lot of food. Shareable if you're not too hungry, but a lot for 1 person. Comes with steak, chicken, crawfish, shrimp, & 4 bacon wrapped shrimp. The meat was tender, surprisingly the chicken was very tender. Theres actually a decent amount of shrimp and crawfish. The bacon wrapped shrimp were big. Charro beans were really good. Rice was good. Flour tortillas very good. Comes with guac and pico also. Their chips are thin, warm, and crispy. I like that they serve a thick green sauce (guacamole salsa?) and a red salsa. Service is good. Free soft serve cone too. read more

I'm going to start off with the food. It is always delicious, accurate and on time. But what's even better is the service we always get from Ms. Celeste. She always remembers us and greets us with a warm smile. Always very knowledgeable about the menu always recommending dishes based on our past orders. Always making thoughtful small talk. Love this place and love her. Would recommend over and over again! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g56723-d14965172-r1014828039-Gringo_s-Sugar_Land_Texas.html# read more

Chips and salsa were spot on. Didn't eat the food but went for drinks. Closed at ten. Ok overall

Came here with my coworkers for lunch about a month ago. Since we arrived shortly after opening, we were quickly seated to our table. Our server was great, and the foods tasted nice. There was complimentary chips and salsa. I got the steak fajitas for one with refried beans and rice. The steak was very tender and nicely and well seasoned. I definitely wouldn't mind stopping by here again if I'm ever in the area. read more

Love love love this location. All around nice friendly and professional wait staff to management. Food quality is good and flavorful. They have no issue with modifying an entree within reason.

Gringo's never disappoints! The enchiladas and everything else I've tried are absolutely delicious.

Gring my bell....... gring my bell. So I like this Tex Mex place. They have good service, and surprisingly, some of the items are good. Some of the other reviews really annoy me, though. Are you kidding me? Some of the people say all they have is plain Mexican food. Um, it's Texan. It's American. But they don't have any Mexican food. I mean there is nothing Mexican on this menu. Not in any authentic sense anyway. Not if you've spent any time in Mexico. Having said all of that, as far as Tex-Mex goes, which is the regional cuisine of Houston to some degree, this is better than most and is easily four stars, just like the other location down the road. read more
