Hidden away in the back alley of Gastown. You’ll find this little gem. It’s tiny like 15 people in this place only. So it’s not hard to get service. The drinks were great. The atmosphere was on point and the food was delicious. I mean, I don’t know why this place is getting so many bad reviews. It’s not a Michelin restaurant. It’s a Mexican restaurant in a back alley. It has atmosphere this is what it’s supposed to be like.

This place has excellent and friendly service, easy substitutions to accommodate dietary restrictions, slammin’ food, and fun 80s kid friendly-vibes. 10/10 no notes! Don’t skip the house-made hot sauces.

Went to Gringo’s with some friends, food smelt good when we walked in. The staff and service was great. We sat at a table where we could see the cook making our food. That’s when the whole experience turned my stomach. The cook had his phone on the cutting board. He was touching his phone then making our tacos with his hands. No gloves or tongs just his bare hands touching the taco ingredients and tortillas and then back to touching his phone. Moving his phone to the other side of the cutting board after checking messages? I was shocked, as it was an open kitchen and so disgusting to watch. This is not food safe and I can’t get over how gross it was. I would NOT recommend this place no matter how nice the serving staff was. Before I left I did mention to our server how turned off I was by watching the cook handle his phone while working. 🤢

We checked out happy hour the vibe is fun, cute little place! Unfortunately we watched the person cooking the food touch multiple surfaces, do the dishes, touch his phone and then food with no gloves or at anytime washing his hands. It completely turned us off! Going to have an open kitchen follow health and safety procedures.
The location and restaurant atmosphere is the highlight of this place, food is secondary and service follows. They’re polite and fast! The place moves fast, you’ll get rushed out if you stay longer than a couple hours. I had a big table and ordered throughout the night. We were given the bill before I got to finish my drink and dessert which would’ve been better if it came after. I recommend Gringo for casual late night hang or a bite to eat!

Only problem we had was the chefs did not wash his hands after handing a dirty dish rag, his phone, and washing dishes. He would wash the dishes then touch the food. Or touch a dirty dish rag and flip the tacos. Food was really god but the cleanliness was not good.

The place is cute, service is great. Food is bad. My mistake I guess, because it is called gringo. Definitely not Mexican food and the flavors are very bland.
