Gringo’s Mexican Kitchen {Texas City}

Alright y'all. I gotta be honest. I've lived here since '08 and I have never once been here until the other day. I've always been biased to my TexMex places up in League City and Webster. I know y'all know which ones I'm referring to. Anyway. This place is not far from where I live and I finally decided to bite the bullet and try it. I don't like trying new places and being let down and then paying for food that was mediocre. But.... That was NOT the case here. I honestly did myself dirty by not trying it sooner. My expectations were low but they EXCEEDED my expectations. First off. The design? Love it. I'm an interior designer and I LOVE it. It's giving modern hacienda vibe. It was so vibrant, balanced and rich. Now the food? Yes. Just yes. Lol To elaborate. I'm half Hispanic. (Puerto Rican and Dominican to be exact.) So, I'm partial to our rice. (No offense my fellow Mexicans lol) HOWEVER. Their rice AND beans were 😚🤌🏻 *chefs kiss*. I truly have not enjoyed rice and beans more from a restaurant since leaving Puerto Rico. I'm pleasantly surprised. To top it all off, for me, they had a GLUTEN FREE MENU. And if you are gluten sensitive or have Celiac, like myself, you know how rare that is. Idk how to explain the feeling but I felt so.... considered, I guess. Like. They took the time to sort out and tell you what is and isn't gluten free. And that says a lot about a company and how they view their customers. Thank you, Gringos, truly. We will be going back and my husband and I are going to be regulars for sure!! P.S. they offer veteran discount! We love companies who help out our vets in anyway they can 🙌🏻

Had a great lunch here! Server was awesome! She was friendly and had a great sense of humor. Food was so flavorful and fresh, overpriced but what Tex-mex isn’t? They did have a few affordable items on the menu. Music was a little loud but we know how to talk louder. Overall, our visit was great!

Gringo's is is an excellent Tex Mex restaurant. I especially loved that you get free soft serve here because your "green goes further at Gringo's"! I tried enchiladas with ranchero sauce and they were good, however the cheese/queso tasted a bit processed. The refried beans and black beans were great. The salsa with the chips as an appetizer was excellent!
