"Between the tables on its front patio, Maxwell Alley, and Coles Street, Gringo’s has seating for more than 100 people. You can be one of them any day of the week, with their usual menu of tacos and cocktail flights available until 10pm. You can also check out their food truck at Pier 13 in Hoboken Wednesday through Sunday." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren

"Gringo’s offers flights of any three cocktails on its menu, which includes a few types of margaritas and a bunch of other tequila and mezcal-focused drinks, for $15. That and the $3 beers during Happy Hour are why you should come to this big, colorful spot with a group, especially during nice weather when the outdoor patio is open. But you don’t need to come here for the food, and if you’re looking for high-quality tacos downtown, head to La Taqueria Downtown instead." - Matt Tervooren

The food was great, there are vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian options. Just be aware to ask if the food of your choice includes a spicy sauce in case if you’re not tolerant to spicy sauces. Great quality food are sold here 👍😎✨f or

This is a nice spot! Great atmosphere, great music and great service! The portions are fine for me and so are the frozen drinks! I like the plates, they look like paper plates but they’re not! Clean bathrooms. It can get quite busy here. Nice outdoor seating. Parking is a little tough. Enjoy!

Had a fantastic time at Gringo's - while I've been here a few times before, I hadn't really expanded my palate beyond tacos and this time I'm SO glad I did. The hot chicken quesadilla was SUCH a winner, and of course the chicken and waffle taco can't be beat. Definitely a great happy hour spot - their margs are great. 10/10 can't wait to come back!

Food was good, tasty and good quality. The portions tend to be a bit small. Staff was very friendly, although the service was a little slow. The atmosphere is pleasant, good retro Tex-Mex style decoration. It still tends to be noisy in the sports bar area. So if you want somewhere quieter, unless the patio area is open (which is often not the case in winter), this is not the place. Overall a good place to visit at least once, but nothing extraordinary.

We came here right before closing on Sunday and were very happy they could accommodate us. I was very impressed with the margaritas and the portion sizes. I got the bowl with grilled chicken and thought it could have used a bit more seasoning but overall, everything was delicious.

Amazing place to go and have dinner. I loved the lively nature of this place. They have amazing birthday celebration theme here. We loved how staff came with cake, music and cracker candles. Food is good here. They have good mix of vegetarian and non vegetarian food. Drinks were really good and I loved it. Overall a fun place to go.

I was so excited to try this Mexican restaurant. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. The place had indoor and outdoor seating. Andy, the manager, pretty much helped with everything. I started with an espresso martini and a margarita and both were delicious! I got different dishes including the corn esquites, tijuana street fries and the gringo with beyond meat. All were so tasty especially the corn! I really enjoyed my time!

Somewhat mixed feelings… I went with a group of friends for my birthday, and we all ordered tacos. I got the Nashville Shorty. The 3 small tacos (2 bites each) cost $18… I think that’s a little steep. Great flavor, but small and expensive in my opinion. Service was great though. Friendly staff. One of my friends told the crew it was my b-day, and the staff was kind enough to surprise me with 2 sweet tacos and they sang me happy birthday. They were also generous enough to give us free refills on our lemonades. To conclude: great atmosphere and staff, tasty food, but smaller portions and kinda on the pricier side.
