Ate at Gringo's (Sinaloa Grill on the receipt) during our summer 2025 trip to the Gunnison, CO area. Montrose, CO is a kicking town - lots of traffic, people on the move, it was a pretty warm day in early July. This cafe is downtown right off the main drag with a corner location. At the time of our visit there was quite a bit of street and sidewalk renovation going on. Reviews sounded pretty good for the place, so we parked and walked on over. Greeted and told to sit anywhere. The lunch crowd was coming in and the place was starting to fill up with what looked to be workers from local businesses as well as family groups and friends meeting up. We placed our orders and sat around watching the people and talking. Husband ordered a quesadilla, and I ordered a torta. i must admit the torta was smaller than i expected and I could tell the waitress thought i'd made a mistake by not ordering more for lunch ... i agreed at first. I ate the torta, there was pico de gallo and such to go along with it. The husband passed me a slice of his quesadilla (it was good) and surprisingly it was all enough. Nice. Went to the bathroom (there's 2) and it was clean and nice sized. Paid the bill, walked on out. read more

DUDE!!! This place is LEGIT Mexican food. Like right off a taco truck in San Diego legit. Excellent red and green sauces. We all tried something different and everything was great. By far the best I have had in a long time. It will always be our new stop on the way between Fort Smith and DFW. I don't even leave reviews on things like this but I was just super excited to finally find something worth eating in McAlester (and open on a Sunday evening no less!). PS. My son had the Al Pastor tacos and said it was the best Al Pastor he has ever had. read more

Food: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Value: 8/10 Portion size: tacos= average, burrito= large Wait time: 8 minute wait to order Tried some Mexican food in McAlester and it was actually very good! I ordered an aray of tacos and the beef lengua (beef tongue) was my favorite! They were so tender and juicy. You definitely need to try it! I usually don't eat body parts like tongue but I had to give it a try! The other tacos I tried were: Carne asada (steak), al pastor (pork), and chile rojo (pork tips in red sauce). They were also delicious but once you have the beef lengua you won't want anything else! My second favorite though, was the chile rojo. The sauce was amazing, flavorful and spicy. They ran out of the chile Verde taco but next time I'll try that too! My family also got queso and chips to share. Queso was good and didn't feel too heavy either which I liked! read more

Legit food! Super tasty and the owner and staff were really friendly. I'm going back! Only thing I would say needs improvement is the decor. Could use some dressing up. read more

Best Mexican restaurant around! Definitely recommend getting a burrito or some tacos. They absolutely hit the spot. The service is amazing as well. read more

Nothing fancy, just good Mexican food. The menu is on a black board and without prices. Hard to read since it is so high up. Pretty strange. My first time here and i felt rushed to try to read the blackboard as other customers waited in line behind me. I ordered the steak burrito, not knowing what it cost. Customers pick up their orders when their order number is called. My burrito was huge. Easily two meals for me. Like others commented, the food was luke warm. Tasty but I prefer piping hot. It cost $11. Really not bad for the amount of food. They need to have printed menus with prices and serve hot food to your table and they would easily be 5 stars. read more

First time at Gringo's Taqueria. My friend had the chicken tacos and I had the Al Pastor Quesadilla. The food was delicious and the ladies behind the counter were so helpful and friendly. Made me think it was family owned and operated. Delicious, fast, clean and friendly earns a happy 5 star review from me. Will definitely go back if I'm in the area again! read more

Great food and friendly service all at reasonable prices! Glad we stopped on our way through town!

Food is good, but the menu is very confusing for ordering or understanding what you're actually going to get. Frustrating! Plus, no prices make ordering risky and dubious. Given the current wave of prices increasing everywhere, this practice doesn't help them. read more

The food was fresh and so good. The quesadilla was stuffed with chicken! The creamy green sauce had a good kick but didn't burn off my taste buds. The service was fantastic. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Ehh, doing the bare minimum as far as Mexican street food goes. The meat was flavorless. The lengua I got could've been the steak I got aside from the texture. No garlic or salt/pepper. One slice of lime for two tacos. Two tacos $7 I just cannot believe how tasteless, even with the salsa. There's no love in this food. read more

Agree the large menu on the wall could be updated to better explain items offered as well as prices. Was very surprised with the quality of food based on reviews. Chicken in my tacos was cold and I do not believe was prepared on site. My husband had cheese enchiladas that would have benefited from 60 seconds in the microwave. Beans were runny and at a state between warm and cool. A disappointing experience. I would not return. From my husband "Food was adequate. I will say, the hot sauce was good." We paid about as much for a styrofoam cup for water as we paid for a bottle of Topo Chico. With a focus on excellence and transparency, believe this taco shop would warrant more stars. read more

I Don't ever leave reviews, but strongly felt the need to advise as we were highly disappointed considering the such high reviews. This taqueria was along our route to Dallas. We chose this place based on a 4.6 google reviews. We collectively agreed these are probably the worst tacos we've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. Chicken is weird texture and flavorless, the steak is dry and tastes like ground beef and is ground up like it as well, the chorizo is mushy and oily. The salsas were also disappointing. My order of 5 tacos cost almost $17 bucks with no rice or beans. How people are giving this place high ratings is beyond us, but I give 1 star because would never consider again when traveling through the area next time. read more

No prices on the menu, $28 for 2 nachos and cups of water. They were pretty small and very few toppings

Tacos were delicious. Great quality for an affordable price. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Legit ! I've lived in Phoenix and San Diego, and these tacos are on par with the ones I've had there. Burritos are great too. The tortillas, meats, and salsas are amazing and are all made in-house. I'd recommend the chile rojo and chile verde meats on their fresh made corn tortillas. Those have always been a favorite of mine and it's rare that a taco shop has them both. Delicious, fast, convenient. This will be a go-to place for me in town. read more

The food was good. I was impressed that the gentleman taking orders knew that there was chicken stock in the rice. Since I am vegetarian that was important to me and I appreciated it. I felt like the atmosphere could have been better. Not super relaxing. But everything was good and came out properly prepared and hot. read more

Have you ever eaten a baby? If you have you know what it's like to handle getting one of these burritos into your gullet. They're enormous and delicious! The atmosphere is legit. I went there for tacos and that's what I got. No fancy red, white, and green decorations. No mariachi music. Just a counter to take your order, a bare bones sign with your menu and that's it. Yeah, I'm sure they'll expand, but it was like walking in and them saying "Yo, you want tacos? That's what we got. You want the rest of that junk go to Taco Bell." They're all about business. The lack of frill just added to the appeal. Eat here and do it often. Otherwise you'll hate yourself forever and likely die miserable. read more

This place is so good! The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the tacos were some of the best. We also got the salsa and white queso ("cheese sauce") and was wonderful. For a small town lunch stop on the way to our destination, we hit the jackpot. Highly recommend. read more

Very good food. Fast, friendly service. It was right off the cute little downtown area. I liked being able to support a local business.

So amazing. Literally not ONE thing I would change about this meal. The tortilla was fresh and chewy (in the best way). Steak was delicious. Guacamole was fresh and chips were warm! read more

I came through here on a Friday night, about an hour before close. It was a SUPER COLD evening and I was only getting some tacos to-go, but I still had a good experience. I had 3 soft, corn tortillas. Chorizo, al pastor, & steak along with a side of guacamole and chips. The side of guacamole was really cheap, I think it was only $1! In fact, overall it was a good deal. The tacos were also very good, but the price is what stands out a month later. The owner was who served me and conversation was friendly and kind. He wasn't wearing a mask and if you are reading this in 2025, that may not seem like a big deal. In February of 2021, though, that was surprising. Overall, the atmosphere was pretty bland, but I was getting takeout so I didn't really care. Are these the best tacos in SE Oklahoma? Quite possibly! read more

When a restaurant has al pastor it is automatically a 4 star. Every Mexican place should have that. All the menu items I have ordered were fantastic. Absolutely no complaints. read more

We decided to try this place that was recommended by our Airbnb host. The food was good and service was excellent. I seen other reviews about the menu on the wall, I do agree, it needs to be updated with pricing. Being in an area without a lot of choices, it was worth trying. read more

Got nachos with chicken and they just dropped the chips in running cheese sauce. Probably should have complained, but long drive through Texas traffic wasn't in the mood. Husband got quesadillas with chicken. Pretty good but bland for him. Would not come back. read more

Stopped in hungry for lunch after shopping.... Will for sure return! We tried one of every taco and the quality is very high in the ingredients and flavors are very authentic! The sauces are wonderful too and very flavorful and the eighth amount of spice. You can tell the owner cares about quality of ingredients. We can't wait to try the Mexican steakhouse the owner has in Mcalester too! Would highly recommend this place and the frozen mango margaritas!!!! read more

Definitely a must visit restaurant while you're in the area. We drove in from Clayton while exploring the Choctaw Nation. Gringo's has a mix and match menu. Will happily customize your order, including custom blend margaritas. Hubs had a burrito (lengua) I had tacos (al pastor and carne asada). They make sauces from scratch and it shows. Everything was top notch and super fresh. Even the rice! Highly recommend. read more

They were really nice. Customer service is good. Prices are not published on their menu. Ordered the tacos asada, AL pastor, and chorizo. I've been craving Mexican for some time, and this did not satisfy my craving. The place looked clean, and the ingredients looked fresh. But I probably wouldn't go again, not authentic enough for me. read more

This place actually surprised me. I really wasn't expecting much BUT their Tacos are actually on point. Definitely did Not Disappoint along with the chips and cheese sauce. I gotta try the other food when I come back but okay Gringo's I See You!! read more

The food is always amazing, I've never had a bad experience with the food nor the service. Everyone is always smiling.

The food was fine, but way overpriced. You have no way of knowing this because their menu does not have prices. Curious as to how my bill, of 5 small tacos, 2 bean burritos and a side of beans and rice, came to $45 I examined my receipt. They charged me $2 a piece for styrofoam cups of tap water. On the receipt is was labeled as "bottled water." I'm not sure what the laws are in Oklahoma, surrounding charging for water at a restaurant, but I know you can't sell tap water and call it bottled water. I went back to the counter, assuming there was just an error when it was rung up, but the employee informed me "this was how her boss told her to do it." She did refund my money for the waters when I requested. $6 for a BEAN burrito even a large burrito is also a total rip off. Wouldn't have ordered that if the prices were listed. read more

I work in McAlester at least once a month, and I order from Gringo's usually twice when I'm here! LOVE LOVE LOVE their "street" style tacos and the Gringo burrito is 2 meals for me! Filled with all the good stuff and delicious! Salsa, guacamole and chips are all homemade and so fresh. I usually order on the McAlester2Go app (local food delivery like Uber Eats) and it arrives still hot and wonderful! Highly recommended!!! read more
