Reviews Summary
El Gringos is praised for its massive portions, friendly staff, and competitive pricing, making it a great value for families and groups.

"Big portions, friendly staff, great food. The bayou burger is probably the best burger I've had in a long time, and the hot wings were good too. Would say it's good value for money."

"Visited this mexican restaurant last Sunday. We originally planned to walkin to another restaurant but no luck. We are a group of 11 people and it is not easy to serve us without reservation. Fortunately the staff of this restaurant is very kind and they were willing to move the table settings so as to serve our needs during the peak dinner hours. The restaurant is quite full. 30 minutes after our food order, the staff brought us 2 nachos dishes which were not in our order. This is free to us as the food serving time took longer than usual during the peak hours. Thanks for the little but heartwarming gesture.
Indeed, the food was also served within 20 minutes after the free dishes. love the steak and rib combo and whole rib dishes. Every dishes are with generous portion. The steak was medium rare cooked which was exactly what we ordered. It was tender and juicy with nice grill on both sides. Pork rib was well marinated. Both dishes were served with rice, onion ring, coleslaw, corn on the cob.... We enjoyed the food very much. Highly recommended!"
