    Good was terrible , service horrible and had to ask to be served multiple times. The restaurant was empty and it was apparent why. They didn’t have serval of the items on the menu. Overall would never go back. Worse than a chain/fast food restaurant

    Not sure what happened at Gringo’s but it was just not as good as what it used to be. The food was “all right” and not great, as it used to be. The server had a bit of an attitude from the beginning, got the order wrong and didn’t attend to us during our stay. The table was so super sticky that everything got stuck, from clothes to napkins and even plates. Not sure what happened at Gringo’s; so sad. We’ll give it another chance

    Was always our go to but last night my Margarita tasted terrible, like chemicals and the food was mediocre, at best. Disappointed in a neighborhood favorite.

    We went to Drag Queen Bingo at Gringos. Travis and his team do a superb job. All of the staff work so hard and are very attentive. The food was delicious and came out promptly. The drinks were lovely too but the stand out for us was the staff - they really went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The restaurant has lovely Mexican decor which adds to the wonderful ambiance. We're from England but if we find ourselves in Jersey, we'll be back. Thanks Travis and team for a fab time!

    All the meats in the tacos were dry. The apps were not hot.

    The food was delicious, especially the flautas and the frozen margaritas, and the service was very fast!
