    OHHH MY GOODNESS! This place, this place! Saved.My.Heart. My high school classmates & I ended up here after burying one of our own. And we're just 57! But Rico's, without knowing, loveddd on us! Gave us incredible service, delicious food and ON POINT margaritas! (And I should know! Growing up Catholic, I've been drinking for a while! ) I'm definitely coming back! 10 out of 10 GRAND!

    Molcajete
    Diana S.

    The molcajete was a bit too salty for me. It was more than enough for one person. The service was great. The waitress was attentive.

    Beef Tostadas

    This was the most basic food I've ever had. I can't believe they are calling it Mexican! This is NOT Mexican! Let's start with the salsa.. tastes like Pace salsa from the jar at your local Kroger. I ordered the guacamole to even it out and that was made with white onions .. and also very bland. The chips were good but they tasted like the brown bag from the grocery store. I ordered the steak "mexi- tacos" and the steak was super bland, maybe they used a little salt but that's about it. My tortilla was hard though. The pico de gallo tasted like it was from Publix. (Which is down the street from the restaurant) lol. I pretty much drenched the taco in Tapatio to give it some flavor. My partner ordered the beef tostadas and it had way too much cheese and lettuce with a big glob of sour cream, which i might add tasted like the cheap Food Depot brand. I got a side of rice in which the waitress told me it was Mexican "fried rice". That was nasty. Not Mexican and just plane ole disgusting. Kind of reminded me of day old Zatarans. For drinks we ordered a Coke and Sprite and it literally had a sour after taste to it we ended up getting the glass bottle Coke and a Jarritos. Overall i gave this place a 2 star because the service was great and the chips were decent. Other than that i really do not recommend you waste your time eating here. Inside the restaurant looked outdated and dirty.

    Taco Tuesday. Found this place on Google maps and decided to give them a try. It looks like a hole in the wall spot and my boyfriend and I were a little skeptical, lol, but we went in anyway. There was a family in front of us and then we were seated. We sat in a booth and I located a couple menus to use rather than our phones. I ordered a mango Texas margarita and he ordered a peach Texas margarita. Both were delicious and if I had reviewed the menu I would've suggested ordering a pitcher. They had quite a few veggie options and I asked for veggie tacos and a side of black beans while my bf got salmon tacos. The chips weren't that good but the salsa was and had a little kick to it. My veggie tacos were loaded with veggie and I appreciated that. I thoroughly enjoyed em. Beans were good. I tasted the salmon and it had a nice char to it. My bf enjoyed his tacos and said they were flavorful. The staff sang happy birthday to me with dessert nachos which were good and not overly sweet. Ambiance was chill with low light and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I definitely recommend giving them a try!

    2 Chicken enchiladas with Verde sauce, refried beans, rice, chips and salsa

    I came here from a Google suggestion because the Mexican restaurant I usually go to was closed. I was greeted upon entry and my to go order was placed right away. Very friendly server she was so nice. It wasn't crowded inside when I first arrived but many more people arrived while I was waiting for my order. The server brought my food to my car and said Happy New Years. I thanked her and drove off but the food smelled so good I had to open the chips and salsa. The chips were still warm and the salsa was fresh and not spicy at all. The enchiladas were ok. I would have liked more verde sauce and a little spice. My favorite was the refried beans. I normally don't even eat them but these were delicious. I have to go back and try some other menu items. Overall it was good.

    Sooo this place was recently closed for renovation and recently have opened back up for business. Honestly I didn't know if I was in an Italian place or Mexican. It's a typical Tex mex spot featuring your fajitas, quesadilla, nachos and queso blanco. We came on a Tuesday night not too busy. Parking is spacious and drinks vary from your giant margarita to sangria. Our server was great. Food came out fast. I ordered the Texas fajitas and my husband the chicken. Overall it's a great spot for neighborhood "Tex-mex" food. If you're craving it it's definitely there. The pica pica salsa is super spicy! Also sangria was good. I got enough food for 2 but I ordered a single. The only thing they don't give you with fajitas is a scoop of guacamole.

    rude and no food for the money stay away from this place gave me a scoop of meat for a whole nacho

    This place is okay only if you like Americanized Mexican food. I order three taco supreme's and was very disappointed on how they came out

There were 12 of us, and from the moment we sat down, the service was attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating to our large group. The food was amazing across the board. We ordered a variety of dishes including sizzling fajitas, flavorful carne plates, Hawaiian chicken, burritos, shrimp cocktail, and of course plenty of cheese dip for the table. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The fajitas were perfectly seasoned and served sizzling, the carne plates were tender and well-portioned, and the Hawaiian chicken had a great balance of savory and sweet. The burritos were packed and satisfying, the shrimp cocktail was fresh and refreshing with the perfect kick, and the cheese dip was smooth, creamy, and hard to stop eating. The ambience did not disappoint either. The decor was nice and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere that made the celebration feel even more special. Overall, Gambino Mexican Grill delivered great food, excellent service, and a comfortable setting. It was a wonderful place to celebrate, and we'll definitely be back.

The restaurant is large and looks a bit more like a sports bar with a Mexican flare. There are tv's everywhere. The bar is large with many TVs as well. The menu is large and there are lots of choices including a lunch menu. The prices are reasonable. I Ordered a cheese quesadilla with a side guacamole salad. My quesadilla was a bit over cooked for my liking. My dad really Liked his enchilada and there was enough for him to take some home for later.

    I love to look through the reviews and see what people complain about....no salt on the chips, I…read moredon't like a lot of salt so I'm grateful, plus there's a whole ass shaker on the table. Expensive margaritas...you obviously have not been to the new Hacienda by Costco where they rip you off! Workers in a Mexican restaurant not speaking great English...ITS A MEXICAN RESTAURANT!!it's bound to happen get over yourself. We came in for lunch on a Tuesday and we were greeted promptly with chips and a menu. The server came quick and we ordered our drinks and food right away. The food came out in about 5mins and was just as it was advertised. I like the food here better than most but I do agree the margaritas are not as good as other places. Is this the perfect place, no, but it's not the worst around town. I can see a lot of you reviewers have never worked in the food industry based on your silly emotion filled reviews that really don't equate to the lack of stars you give, but such is life when everyone has a voice.

    Parking is easy this place shares the same parking lot as Kroger . When I first entered on a…read moreSaturday it was pretty slow not a good sign . They brought out the watered down salsa and un salted chips when I tasted the dip i should have left however I was waiting on my mom and sister it was my moms birthday. My mom choose this place since she never been and wanted to check it out . The waitress was friendly but she didn't understand English I mean not even a little , how does an establishment hire a waitress that doesn't speak English that's so unfair to the customers ! I told her it was my moms birthday she didn't understand . How don't u understand birthday !? I just think she didn't want to put in any effort and wanted to ride off of the fact she didn't know English ! The food wasn't good my cheese was not completely melted only on one side and my bowl of beans came sitting on my rice and taste like it was in the refrigerator for days uncovered ! Horrible presentation! I was over it I got no picture . I couldn't communicate none of this to the server I still left her $10 tip as I know serving is not an easy task but I felt pressured to tip she was nice but I honestly didn't enjoy my food or the dinning experience and I didn't feel like she deserved a tip but I would feel bad just leaving nothing . This place will continue to stay empty if you don't hire waitresses that simply speak English u need fresher food I paid for the entire ticket as a treat to my mom and didn't eat my food , what a waste of my hard earned money I will not come back everything is so expensive now and days I don't want to spend my money and be unhappy . The ambiance was nothing special super disappointed I wish my mom had a better experience for her birthday ! Next time I will go back to my favorite spot la hacienda in McDonough!!!!! Go there if you want good food and good vibes and a waitress thats speaks English!
