Go in person, orders by phone get put on hold and then disconnect - continuously. They do this anytime they get busy. Good food, fair prices, mediocre service.

**Declining Quality and Rising Prices at Gringo and Blondie**

I have been a loyal patron of Gringo and Blondie for quite some time, and the food has always been top-notch. However, my past two visits have been disappointing, and I feel compelled to share my experience because I love this restaurant and want it to succeed.

Firstly, the to-go salads have significantly decreased in size—they're less than half the size of the dine-in salads. I recently ordered two salads with steak and just three slices of avocado, which cost me $50. Instead of the usual tortilla chip strips scattered throughout the salad, we received about three small tortilla chip pieces. The value for the price just isn't there anymore.

Secondly, I used to love ordering the street corn, but at nearly $10 for a single cob, it's hard to justify the cost. The portion doesn't match the hefty price tag, and it's disappointing to see this favorite become overpriced.

On a positive note, the service is always great, and the staff are genuinely friendly. They consistently do their best to enhance the dining experience. However, the trend of disappointing dishes and continuously rising, very high prices is hard to overlook.

I hope the management takes note of these issues because Gringo and Blondie has the potential to be fantastic again. Until then, I find it difficult to return given the current value proposition.

i believe they want this place to be the kind of place that “gringos” can experience mexican food and it won’t be too spicy or too strong. we felt that the food could be massively improved with hot sauce. as we finished our meal, we noticed other tables had both a red and a green hot sauce — it looks like our server just didn’t bring them or offer them. maybe it’s something you have to know to ask for? the margs were sweet and had sugar on the rim, even though we ordered salt both times— they are basically juice. if you get there before 6 PM you can get the happy hour price at least. we were seated at 5:55 so just before 6 — but we didn’t see a server for over 10 minutes. the brisket taco was really thick and needed a sauce. the veggie tacos/bowl had good flavor but was too oily — could benefit from some citrus. we noticed another table was brought a bowl of lime wedges — i guess another thing you have to know to order. the salsa with the chips was very good, although the menu says they homemake their chips and they are obviously not home made.

Since they’ve changed owners the quality of the meat has downgraded. To be specific, the carne asada tacos taste much differently than before, there’s no taste. The tortillas were too oily as well. Don’t fix what’s not broken, just to save a buck.

The place to go to. This is our mexican food spot. Visit frequently. Love the food customer service atmosphere and all. They have outside dinner as well.

I've had the tortas and tampiqueña and the enchiladas all, which were delicious. The al pastor is truly divine. It's not like other al pastor, no pineapple, just more flavor. I absolutely loved it

The food is pretty good, I would have liked some kind of translation understand what I’m ordering. The menu is in Spanish, but that’s it. The chips and salsa are delicious and the sandwich I had was also delicious. My company had a burrito and they said it was very good. Beans and rice should be included with the meal, but that’s par for the course of these days. I also wish they were a little more attentive. You bring me my food I shouldn’t have to ask for cutlery.

Great food. Birria Pizza is outstanding!!! Kind of loud and the service was a bit slow even though there was only one other table of people there. They were not complacent, just understaffed.
