The Gringo is closed now - they have an eviction notice on their door. Please remove them from the system so people don't keep making reservations.

Second time we tried to go and have a drink as well as dinner and they were completely closed. We had a 7pm reservation and they turned my friend away. Please be more considerate of your guests. We are also in the industry and understand slow times and things happen but a phone call would have been nice. The first time we made a reservation the place was closed.

Turned into a 2hr meal because there was only one person taking orders, serving, busing tables, etc for the entire place- poor guy!
