Just take all of my money. For reasons we cannot remember we didn’t get here in 2022. For 2023, we made our way over yesterday. We got the guacamole and chip, tacos - chicken, shrimp, brisket, pulled pork, and chicken quesadilla. We were blown away by how good everything was. So much so that we got it again for lunch today. Many brisket and fish tacos were ordered , but expanded to also get the brisket nachos and avocado salad topped with brisket (with chipotle ranch dressing). The brisket is bangin’! The salad deserves some accolades… the dressing, the pico… seriously the best pico I’ve ever had and a first, a salad that I can say was filling. My husband is “annoyed” we didn’t get Gringo’s earlier in our stay… because we missed additional opportunities to eat it.

Chill atmosphere with amazing tacos. I did the tour…one shrimp, one brisket, one crispy fish. Everything fresh, made to order, fast. If I could eat more I would, they are that good.

Well I'm really glad I didn't read the reviews first or i might have been deterred by some. The food was REALLY GOOD. We had both the shrimp and chicken tacos, quesadilla and street corn. It was all delicious and hot. The salsa and chips were great and I'm really picky about my salsa. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Owner was also nice. Definitely reccomend. And all the flavor comments are crazy...everything tasted very flavorful.(ps my daughter loved the patio - win)

I love this restaurant. Every time I am down the the area I make sure to have lunch here. The service is fast, they are accommodating to my dairy-free needs, food is delicious, and all the staff are friendly. I love how many taco options there are and the menu is right on the wall and easy to read and order from. Prices, size of portions and flavors are all on point. The dining area itself could be improved, it’s just very hot inside. There is a cute little outdoor area but when you are taking a break from the beach to eat, eating outside in the hot sun or in a hot inside is not what I want to do, but I do it anyway. I highly recommend going here!

So disgusted by the two chefs at Gringos today ... I'm guessing they are also the owners, or maybe the managers? They were so rude, borderline abusive to the two kids working there. The poor girl working the counter was doing a fabulous job, clearly learning, but doing GREAT, she made a small mistake and pressed an incorrect button on the register and the taller guy shamed her right in front of us! Then proceeded to reprimand and explain why she was wrong again, ... And even again while we were sitting eating and all talking about what a douche he was! If these guys can't keep help, I guarantee that it is because they are so completely rude to their staff! The service was wonderful, super courteous, very sweet kids, very attentive! The food was good. I will not be going back considering the rudeness of the two men! Horrible way to treat your employees! What a turnoff!

Not to bash anyone, but the pulled pork was inedible. It was chewy, grisly and greasy. Not what I think of when I think of pulled pork.Very disappointing. I should have known when I didn't smell the smoke burning from a smoke house. The nachos were pretty good. Service was great though and the atmosphere was chill. ✌🙂

No taste to the burrito at all. It was a white rice wrap. My wife is Venezuelan and said it taste like a white person made it (I’m white) They also brought out the guacamole with black in a lot of areas. I couldn’t eat any of it. My father who’s a garbage disposal with an iron stomach couldn’t eat it either. Beach tacos for the same meal is about $13 cheaper and 5 stars, my wife also loves it.
