I love this restaurant. Every time I am down the the area I make sure to have lunch here. The service is fast, they are accommodating to my dairy-free needs, food is delicious, and all the staff are friendly. I love how many taco options there are and the menu is right on the wall and easy to read and order from. Prices, size of portions and flavors are all on point. The dining area itself could be improved, it’s just very hot inside. There is a cute little outdoor area but when you are taking a break from the beach to eat, eating outside in the hot sun or in a hot inside is not what I want to do, but I do it anyway. I highly recommend going here!

Quick, easy and tasty. Excellent fish tacos (got em mix and match with brisket and pork which were also good). Good portion.

Just take all of my money. For reasons we cannot remember we didn’t get here in 2022. For 2023, we made our way over yesterday. We got the guacamole and chip, tacos - chicken, shrimp, brisket, pulled pork, and chicken quesadilla. We were blown away by how good everything was. So much so that we got it again for lunch today. Many brisket and fish tacos were ordered , but expanded to also get the brisket nachos and avocado salad topped with brisket (with chipotle ranch dressing). The brisket is bangin’! The salad deserves some accolades… the dressing, the pico… seriously the best pico I’ve ever had and a first, a salad that I can say was filling. My husband is “annoyed” we didn’t get Gringo’s earlier in our stay… because we missed additional opportunities to eat it.

The bowl I ordered came with hard rice. Not uncooked, old, hard rice. Also, the person who took the order looked like he didn't want to be there, seemingly as if we were a bother. Won't go back, don't recommend!

Not to bash anyone, but the pulled pork was inedible. It was chewy, grisly and greasy. Not what I think of when I think of pulled pork.Very disappointing. I should have known when I didn't smell the smoke burning from a smoke house. The nachos were pretty good. Service was great though and the atmosphere was chill. ✌🙂
