    Fish Taco Dinner
    Carmen S.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken Taquitos

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Good food Great service Nice strong drinks (go for happy hour they can get pricey) Would recommend

    Margarita
    Alycia J.

    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 !!!

    Cadillac Margarita

    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.

    El capitan - mixed beef chicken $34.49. Very good. We shared this

Then I saw a short recommendation (with about a dozen likes) on another neighborhood site, and we decided to try it out. Now we've been there several times, and everything I've tried is outstanding, and the rest of my party wants to keep returning to try new things. And maybe that's especially noteworthy. Usually I go to a place and find something I like, and that's the item I get for that place. But El Fogon is 3 for 3 on perfection so far. Our first trip was a Thursday night and they have the poblano pepper fajita special for 2 on Thursday nights. The salsa is not runny, it's not ketchupy, it's not too mild or too hot -- it just has you enjoying it so much that before you know it you have to ask the waiter to bring more bowls. I won't say anything's super spicy, but it's all super flavorful. I've had the fajitas with beef and bacon. Then I had the Cameron brocheta (bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp with Monterrey jack cheese & jalapeño. The third time, I had ceviche, and they're very generous with the serving size. We're going back tonight -- the fourth time in two weeks -- and I have to try the nachos. And I still haven't had my favorite Mexican plate that I always have everywhere ... Chile relleno. And even their beans and rice are spectacular and better than maybe anywhere else. And I've had the peach margarita each time. It's very nice, though I have another spot I still like better. I always like peach, but I'm tempted to try their blackberry jalapeño margarita, or their watermelon mint. Or the pineapple rita. Or maybe tonight the mango habanero. I regret that it too so long for us to try El Fogon, but now that we've tasted how fabulous it is, we're catching up.
