We needed a lunch break during our visit to the Lightner Museum and this establishment was located a couple of blocks away. The inside is small with a few table tops. The chips and salsa were decent as were our entrees (burrito and fajitas). It was nothing special, but convenient. read more

This was sadly our first and probably last visit. We came here while visiting St Augustine. The food was nothing special, pretty small portions and not particularly memorable. I have had better tacos at a food truck. All 3 of us agree that the service was also mediocre. You place your order at the counter and once it's ready, they bring it to you. It's a small place with a few tables. We normally like to support mom and pops local businesses so we thought we'd try it. The value was not there when St Augustine has so many good restaurants. read more

Poor choice of lunch on our vacation with friends! Our friends ordered the nachos and they came with only cheese sauce, and jalapeños, very plain. We ordered the fajitas - also very plain, just a small plate of chicken, bell peppers, 3 tortillas, rice and beans. I asked for sour cream and was told it was $1 but it arrived as no more than just a tablespoon. No cheese or guac or anything else. Very pricey for very little food or extras. Bathrooms were also pretty sad - went to the bathroom in 1st bathroom, no hand soap. Ran over to bathroom number 2, washed my hands and then realized no paper towels Had to go back to bathroom 1 to dry my hands. I wish I could recommend this place but our experience just wasn't good. read more

It's a small establishment, strip mall. We were staying close in a VRBO for Nights of Lights festivities. My grandson can be a picky eater but he ate the food here! The woman who served us, so personable. No hurry. We had a couple beers, the Burria was phenomenal and the consommé to dip it in, so flavorful. Grandson had a gringo taco with sour cream. My son was too busy eating for me to notice what he had. And we had chips/salsa. No complaints. Whatever they were out of, she offered equal or better alternatives , it was a great start to our weekend. read more

Great tasting tacos made with Impossible meat, super flavorful and perfectly seasoned. I loved the fresh avocado, crunchy lettuce and cabbage, and the pico on top.

Gringos Tacos - Great customer service, im just finishing ordering and waiting for, to try it. - Mexican Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

For a hefty 17 dollar price tag, the three tacos and chips were average at best. The different styles of taco were fun, but the flavors didn't really pop like some of the other taco places we've tried in the past. While it was a passable meal, there are definitely better sit down options available around the old town. read more

Family in town have wanted to try this place for a while. Really friendly staff. Started with chips and queso. We ordered a number of different kinds of tacos. We all loved the birria taco with the dipping sauce. Their ground beef tacos are also really good. So many options need to return again and try more. Plenty of parking out front. read more

Description Taco place located in St Augustine towards the main tourism area and if I'm not mistaken possible a main tourist road as well. They offer free cups of water which tastes a little off so if you are picky about your water, bottled water is the way to go. What I ordered A single birria taco a cheese quesadilla and 3x birria house special. When you order this they give you a small cup filled with extra birria broth that you can drink or dunk your tacos in. The flavor was good and the tacos were filling. When you're done eating there's trash where you can throw away your trash and you can take the tray up to the cashier. Value Compared to other taco place prices that I've been to it runs in similar pricing or a little bit cheaper. Ambiance/Crowd It was fairly empty when we went but very casual attire such as jeans leggings shirts style. It's is kid friendly and it's more of a younger crowd from two other groups I saw go in. Service The service is good, when ordering the girl working the cashier was very helpful in explaining the menu. Super kind no complaints. Parking I went on a Sunday during a long weekend. The parking was in front of the restaurant which probably fits about 8 cars but when we got there it was empty so we had no issues parking. Not sure how it would be during a busy time or rush hour. Parking in front of the restaurant is free but outside of there it seems that anywhere else you park you have to pay for parking. 4 year olds thought corner He thought the quesadilla was delicious and ate most of it until he was full but he stated a machine was loud which we didn't think it was but it's something that turns on and off. read more

This is a Birria focused spot. We came in a recommendation from neighbors. I ordered food to go on national taco day but the place was empty at 630 PM. We got on Birria griller and 3 birria tacos. By the time I got home in 10 min the foam to go container had softened the Birria taco shell. To the point it was super sloppy. They would have benefited from a vented top. Also they did not put paper in between them so it was a challenge to separate them. Despite those challenges there is a spice used in the meat that we could not place. It was almost like a licorice flavor, maybe fennel, clove? It wasn't bad, just different. Both dishes were delicious and the griller is a two person job! read more

This is my second time visiting Gringos. I'm a California girl so I take my tacos very seriously and the first time I was not that impressed. But then I heard we are supposed to order the Barriria! What's Barriria? It's a Mexican way of slow cooking beef that creates more like a pot roast taco filling. These tacos are served with beef juice that you dip your taco into. It was delicious. I also ordered the Barriria salad. It was huge with enough beef to keep even a construction worker happy! This little taco shop just spent a bunch of time fixing up a cute sitting area out front with lots of plants to hang out with. I recommend sitting there and people watching while you munch on your tacos. There's plenty of parking right out front as well. read more

Very casual taco joint. Lady was nice and patient, explained my questions about the menu. The portions are very generous. Ingredients were fresh. The queso was of nice texture and not salty. I thought the bowl would come with flour tortillas but we got chips instead. The steaks in the nacho were a bit too salty, but everything else was good. It's definitely a nice joint to check out if you're in the area. read more

No flavor! Never have I experienced a meal with absolutely no flavor. It was not bad flavor or good flavor. It was absolutely no flavor. So wierd!! I ordered the chicken burrito bowl my fiancé ordered the beef burrito. Had no flavor as well. He Had to add some hot sauce for some kind of flavor. Don't Spend your money here. read more

We stopped in here during a day in Saint Augustine, and I'm so glad we did. I got the birria taco salad, and my husband ordered shrimp tacos everything was super fresh and well seasoned. The person that took our order (and delivered it to it table) was super friendly and chill. He made sure everyone was taken care of, and that we had a good experience. Will definitely be back to try some other items in the menu. read more

I want you Gringo! After leaving the beach, we were hungry and decided on Mexican food for dinner. A couple of the trolley drivers recommended the spot as well and we got takeouts to finish the night off with. It was ready within 10 minutes after placing the order over the phone. The gringo bowl consisted of fajita chicken, which wasn't spicy. It had yellow rice topped with cilantro and queso. It was a huge portion and I ate most of it. I liked the yellow rice pairing and everything went well together. I can't speak for the inside since it was a to-go order. However, it was presented well when I opened the styrofoam package and it tasted fresh with every bite I took of it. Thanks for a Saturday night fill up! read more

We got the aburría House Taco and it's delicious! Shredded slow cooked steak with mozzarella on a soft flour tortilla. The taco is so juicy and it comes with nachos and pineapple salsa that's so good. The metal siding inside the establishment is cool and I must say they have an area perfect for a photo op. It's clean and the staff is helpful and attentive. Yes, there is free parking on premises read more

Staff was friendly. The food was really good & fast. Loved the decorations as well. Can't ask for much more !

Last time we'll ever eat here. Came in for birria tacos and were told they already ran out for the day (it's 1:30pm on Wednesday). While we were eating our food not even 10 minutes later someone walked in for pickup and was told that the birria was going to be done in 10 minutes?! If she would've just told us to wait 10-20 minutes for what we came for we would've just waited. We almost left because that's really what we came for but decided to stay and choose something else (we should've left!!). I got the griller with chicken and street style. It wasn't bad but I can tell you it also wasn't good. Super plain and just eh. My husband got chicken tacos also street style. When I tell you these were the worst tacos we've both ever had in our entire life's I'm not kidding. Literally not one bit of flavor. The chicken tased extremely dry like it was boiled. It didn't even have any color on it. Just white and dry, and their street style is just adding raw chopped onions and a little cilantro and throwing some hot sauce packets on the side. I'm not even being dramatic when I say you can get better tasting tacos from Taco Bell. The chips and salsa we got was actually laughable. Half of the chips were weirdly white like they hadn't been cooked long enough. And the salsa I think was actually tomato sauce. I made a joke to my husband that if you put this ontop of pasta I would actually believe it was marinara sauce. If you want real Mexican food head right down the street 2 minutes away to taco my blessing. It's literally to die for!!!! Only reason why were weren't there and tried this place was because they are closed for a couple days for renovations. read more

We popped in to have some birria tacos. AMAZING!!! Great flavor! Service was great. Gal was new to the area. Super friendly.

My goodness this place is a whole in the wall. It needs a bigger space to attend the clients. People came in and out none stop. You will not be disappointed. The food, service and atmosphere reminds me of a small tacos shop. The food is amazing will recommend the burrito with steak, pico de gallo and cilantro. The birria tacos has the perfect heat, but the sauce needs a little work, it is not bad but needs Their was a super start surprise, salsa with chips tomato,onion and cilantro that should be a big menu. The server, cashier and expedita was amazing. I will really recommend you to try it and support a small business. read more

First and foremost the woman running the front is not very welcoming. Having 1 person run the counter and do waited service is not realistic for this establishment. Ordering at the counter and getting your food brought to you is the way it should be. Not being able to self serve my own soft drinks from the fountain out front? Weird. My husband and I ordered nachos and street corn. My kids ordered a quesadilla. My husband and I got our nachos and finished before the quesadillas came out. I never got my street corn and the guacamole I asked for when I first sat down came after our meal was finished. We will not be going back to Gringos Tacos. read more

Authentic Mexican food in Vietnam, is that even possible, how good could it actually be? Well it's authentic for sure, right down to the simplest detail of ordering a Corona beer or the large selections of Tequila for you. No matter what you order, you can't go wrong. You could close you eyes with every bite, and it will send you to Mexico. Carnitas was slow cooked to perfection, the guacamole with chips is a MUST!!! I will have dreams about how smooth and delicious that guacamole. Staff was friendly, the place immaculate, great decor, and plenty of seating. If you are looking for a break from the local food, or just want to try some of the best Mexican food, then this place is a must on your visit to the city. read more

It's just very plain and boring. Burrito, nachos and salads are all just blah. Don't come here. Find good tasty food somewhere else

Gringos Tacos changed my life. Brian came into my work at Foxtail Coffee Co. and offered my friend and I lunch after he got coffee from us. Little were we expecting some of the BEST tacos we had ever had in our lives. Brian made a little concoction of his own, the garlic butter dipped shrimp taco, and it was absolutely delicious. He brought us each a beef taco, which was also absolutely delicious. Along with our tacos, Brian brought us their street corn and rice. They were the perfect refreshing side dish to our amazing tacos. Long story short, please go check these guys out, they are incredible! read more

Barely a 3 star from me. Cashier pleasant. Selection read well. Menu that is. Had the Birria Bowl. Nothing to write about at all. Street corn. Terrible. Definitely would not suggest. The Birria house special tacos was pretty good. That was the best item we ordered. Unlikely I'd try them again. But maybe. Definitely won't order the bowl or street corn again. read more

I always go here for lunch before work or school. The lady at the register is very nice and always gives me a local discount since I order so often. The birria burrito is great, and it's honestly the only thing I'd recommend from the menu. Not going to comment on any other food because I haven't had anything other than a couple other items and I don't want to judge this place on those few experiences. I always enjoy my burrito and appreciate the nice service from this place. Gringos deserves more love. Some of the best queso in St. Augustine too. read more

After paying almost 50 bucks yesterday Tuesday 4:15/25 after all the hype and paying $44 plus tip for six tacos bare minimal I was disgusting the food was not as good as I had heard it it was and certainly portion size wise not happening and they were running a special time didn't even mention that but when was the last time you paid $44 for six tacos curious I want to hear from anyone that would pay $44 for six tacos I was not impressed the food was not that good and I won't ever eat there again read more

Perhaps the top bang-for-buck restaurant in St Augustine -Perfect place for food if looking for quick meal while touring -tacos came out QUICK -I like the chicken better than the Burris (my wife disagrees) -Service was good -Even though I'm recommending it as a cheap place to get quick food so you can resume walking around Saint Augustine, the food is great! -Bonus: walk down the street before or after eating here to go to St Augustine Distillery for free samples -seating is narrow, a lil cramped, but that is not what you are coming here for anyway read more

This place has some of the best rice I've ever had! I loved it here. My husband and I popped in before our drive back home to SC for a quick bite to eat & let me tell you, our tastebuds were not prepared for the delicious explosion we experienced! I ordered the birria bowl and my husband ordered the angus steak griller garlic butter style. I also got us a side of queso and a small Mexican style street corn to split. You guys, the minute I put that birria and rice in my mouth, I was incredibly pleased. It was SOOOOOO good! The food here gets 5 stars! It was absolutely fantastic. It 100% blows Moes, Chipotle, Diablo's and any other "tex mex walk up and order" restaurant out of the water! If we had a Gringos Tacos in Lexington, SC, the other places would go out of business! I have never had Mexican rice like that before or birria like that before and it was phenomenal! I was very very impressed! It did take a while for our food to be delivered after we placed our order, but it was definitely worth the wait! By the time we got our food, the whole place was packed and there wasn't an empty seat in the house. When we come back this way, I will most definitely be bringing my kids here because they will love it! read more

Unfortunately we showed up during the lunch rush and they were short staffed, waited a while on food which didn't bother us given the bustle, however, the beef on my taco was completely un-seasoned and tasted like a freezer. Took one bite and threw the rest away. My significant others chicken taco was one big ball of gristle chicken. Overall disappointing after waiting 30 mins for the food to come out. read more
