    Cadillac margarita (left), spicy sunset rita (center), pineapple margarita (right)
    Anh D.

    If you're looking for a lively Tex-Mex spot that's perfect for groups, with delicious food, amazing margaritas, and incredible service, Gringo's is a great choice! The outdoor area is spacious with plenty of seating. The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a very inviting atmosphere. There are a lot of parking spots, although it can fill up quickly during busy hours. When I arrived, I waited about 35 minutes for a table for four. You can also join the waitlist online, which is a great option if you don't want to wait at the restaurant. We ordered the beef skirt steak fajitas and were super impressed with how flavorful and tender the meat was. For margaritas, we got the Cadillac margarita, pineapple margarita, and spicy sunset rita. Everything was delicious and refreshing! They also offer free ice cream, which is a nice treat to end the meal. Overall, we had a positive dining experience at Gringo's and would come back again!

    OUTSTANDING AUTHENTIC MEXICAN!! WHOA The atmosphere and employees are so inviting. This is by far a landslide

    Shrimp tacos

    We've been coming in pretty much weekly especially since this location is right down the street and the Tex Mex rewards are really worth it!!! We told Lizzy we were celebrating our 20 year anniversary and she ended our dinner with this complimentary sweet treat- churros and they were great! Lizzy has to be the sweetest server we've had so far too.

    My fave! The fish tacos!
    Eleanor R.

    Every time I come here I am never disappointed. Ordered the special bangin shrimp tacos today along with the chicken tequitos which I've never gotten before. Both were yum! The service was excellent as usual and the vibe with the music and company I had were great too! Overall you won't be disappointed anytime you come here. Highly recommend

    Fajitas
    Courtney S.

    This new location stays popping! Service, food, and the wait system were all amazing. We especially love their green sauce, as the salsa is just alright. The restaurant stays very loud, but the decor and atmosphere are so fun. Really happy to have a Gringo's in the Tomball area!

    It's was super packed for a Sunday night. The ambiance was lively and the decor was fun and bright. Went with a friend and we sat at the bar. There were several people taking care of the bar patrons and they did a terrific job. We ordered the Vera Cruz fajitas combo that comes with chicken, beef, and shrimp brioche w/ bacon and panela cheese. It comes with two sides (beans & rice) and we chose cilantro lime rice & black beans. It also came with tortillas, pico, and guacamole. We also ordered a plate of chicken taquitos from the appetizer menu. Would love to come back and try some of the other food. It was all tasty!

    We came in at 4pm and they were unable to sit two people?

    This is my first visit to Gringo's that my husband wanted to take me to. I am still waiting going on ten minutes now so we ended up leaving because my husband did not want to wait anymore for a table. No one said hi to us either. He said this is ridiculous we were the only people waiting. Thumbs down. We went to Lupe's tortilla great hostess's and seated immediately wow what a difference

    Salsa's.
    D.j. A.

    Took forever to get chips and salsa after they said be right back. The chip quality is good and crispy. Red Salsa is 4 out of 5 on the spice. Green salsa 3 out of 5 , mild avocado flavor. Marisco bowl amazing flavor. I recommend the black beans over the refried beans. The service improved after getting chips and salsa. Annie was a awesome server. Polite and professional.

    Every Juan loves tacos

    Amazing service from both Nic and Eduardo, and even though this place is packed with a wait-list, we were able to immediately sit at the bar, Huge Win for us ! I ordered a water with lemon, and guess what !? My server, Nic, remembered the lemon, we are on a definite roll. The chips and salsa, yet another treat, fantastic light and airy chips. I don't know how to explain this, everything is going great and they have only been opened about a month. The menu is your traditional Tex Mex fare, but again, our server was great at allowing me to tweak my order, different from other places that don't allow substitutions. Although TBH, all I did was change out an enchilada sauce on one of my enchiladas, but it was at Eduardo's suggestion. WtG Eduardo!!! I love the interior of the restaurant, and even the outside seating/ waiting area was tops. At this point, ther is little that can go wrong . OMG, we were just brought extra napkins without even asking for them. Eduardo is a rock star ! Well we must be on candid camera. We just got a table touch by a manager, or owner, his name was Aaron. Come on, where is the camera, because that is not the norm there days. We were offered drink refills, Nic remembered I wanted to place a to go order and to top off this amazing first visit to this location, they have A WORKING ICE CREAM machine. Yes, I said working. So, what would I have changed if I could have my druthers? Two things. A 'no cilantro ' bean option, for the huge population of us that 'cilantro tastes like soap' for, and a small bowl for the ice cream. I always only want just a tiny bit and I feel so bad for always wasting a cone. I do love the neon sign above us that says "Every Juan loves tacos"

    MARISCO BOWL combo with steak and chicken

    Food was great no complaints at all the atmosphere was amazing I definitely would recommend this restaurant to anyone. And the service was good always checked on us making sure if we was good or needed any refills.

    Consistently less consistent with longer than estimated wait times for both to go and sit down. I recommend going to another location.

Service was fantastic/friendly, with the owner and server stopping by frequently to check on us or just have a friendly chat. Food consisting of Mixed Fajitas for 3 (Beef, Chicken, Carnitas) was the best we have tasted. Sizzling, flavorful, tender meat, fantastic blistered Jalapeños (Toreados), and grilled onions, served with four tortillas. Quantities were ample and the complimentary chips, Salsa (2 kinds), and Queso (2 kinds) were warm and tasty! The whole meal set us back $82, including taxes and tip. Overall, a thoroughly satisfying experience - our favorite place going forward! Do visit - you won't be disappointed!

The man runs his restaurant with heart, hustle, and pure passion. Every detail -- from the way the margaritas are mixed to how the seafood is seasoned -- carries his touch. We had the crab legs, shrimp boil, potatoes, and corn, and wow... flavor on another level. And those margaritas? Smooth, strong, and made with love -- the kind that make you slow down, smile, and say "una más." You can feel the energy the moment you walk in -- familia, sabor, y alegría. Ever built something special here, and nights like this remind you that success tastes even better when it's shared. If you haven't been yet... go. Ask for Ever. Tell him we sent you.

Hee Haw is one of 3 establishments in a cute historic courtyard across from the railroad station. Definitely a fun place to stop in when strolling around the area. After chatting with the friendly staff, we ordered tacos and margaritas inside (Redfish, blackened shrimp and ground beef) and then grabbed a booth outside. Despite ordering a skinny the Marg was a little sweet. To be fair, I prefer a classic marg with just tequilla, Cointreau and lime juice, but it's so hard to get bar tenders to understand that! Anyway I digress. The good news is the tacos were perfectly cooked and pretty tasty. The red snapper tacos and blackened shrimp taco were lightly Blackened and just the right amount of Cole slaw. Hubby said his ground beef was nicely seasoned as well. All in all, a great choice for a lighter lunch on a lazy afternoon. give this place a shot next time you're in Old Tomball.
