Unfortunately they lost our reservation but the staff were so amazing. They squeezed us in no fuss! They were extremely busy so apologised it would be a long wait. It was not such a long wait. The staff were fantastic, the food delicious. They catered for my coeliac disease without any fuss making me feel human. Highly recommend

Went to Gringos as part of a celebration moment for mother in law's 80th birthday. Staff very friendly.. attentive and funny . Food, as always so good.. really tasty and lots of it. We shared tasty taco starters with the mains ranging from spicy lamb and pulled pork (lush) soft tacos, fajitas and enchiladas. We have been going to Gringos for over 17 years or more.. even had my own 40th there (quite a no of years ago ), son's 18th ...and I can honestly say.. never had a bad meal. Whatever you do.. you do it well Gringos #team. Thank you for keeping us coming back for more

Just been tonight for my partners birthday meal out. We all had an amazing meal. We all love Gringos. I have to have a gluten free diet and always have an amazing meal . We will be back

Terrific atmosphere, and not only was the food and service excellent, but also, being longer in the tooth than most customers, we didn’t do justice to the generous portions. Without prompting when we received our bill, the starter we shared had been deducted. Top quality customer service. We will be back on numerous occasions but wiser when it comes to ordering. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Was not impressed this evening. Called to book a table for two people at 7pm and was advised to book for 6:45 for the 2 for 1 deal. We arrived promptly and were told to wait for our table and order a drink although there were many tables free. 20 minutes later, after trying to order a drink, we were seated and asked if we had a drink ordered. We did not, so we ordered with the waiting staff. Ten minutes later another member of staff came over to our table to ask what we would like to drink and if we were ready to order. We ordered food and pushed for our drinks and they came five minutes later. Food came out promptly though it was not piping hot and the vegetables were rather undercooked. One of the meals was served on a metal baking tray which proved difficult to eat off as it moved too much. We had to ask for cutlery for the table. The table check was not done until both of us had pretty much finished. We asked for the bill....twice and it was not on the 2 for 1 as we didn't get seated until past 7pm. We asked for the card machine... Twice! And then when we asked to split the bill the waitress could not do this and asked us to calculate it! Overall service was shocking and food was a huge let down. Gringos used to be one of our favourites but unfortunately we will be avoiding from now on!

Visited Gringos yet again tonight for a pre festive meal out ... Never fails to deliver - fab food, great surroundings and the staff are just brilliant - so welcoming and like visiting old friends - simply cannot recommend this place enough - you Must try it !!!! Merry Christmas everyone look forward to seeing you lots in the New Year ���

We went in last night for my birthday and it was busy but food was served really quickly and was to die for! If there was one thing I would change would be the volume of music, we had my elderly father with us and he could’t join in the conversation because he couldn’t hear us over the volume of the music.
That said it won’t stop us coming again as the food was delicious!! Thanks guys
Gareth Pendlebury
Have not eaten here for years, was great then and please to say it still is.
Will definitely be back, and will not be leaving as long this time.
Prepare to be filled to busting, as the portion sizes are BIG. Doggy bag may be required ��
Adam Crowcroft
Brilliant little gem staff super nice and friendly and the food is top class perfect Mexican food defiantly will be returning ������
Neil Whitcombe
Very popular small Mexican restaurant, especially as many come early in order to take advantage of the Two for One offers. The starter dish we ordered was fantastic - chicken wings with the blue cheese sauce. The main dish was substantial and good too. The only down side was we had to wait nearly 45 minutes for or order to be brought to the table. Still, very good value and would visit again, especially for the chicken wings and sauce!
Tracy Bellwood
Never somewhere I would usually choose however I won a meal for 2 in a raffle! Amazing food and exceptional service- we will definitely be returning. Thankyou for a lovely meal

Gringo ... Name sounded weird. .. walked in on a Sunday afternoon. . Luckily had a vegetarian dish... chimmichanga. . I have had this dish before in India. . This one was really different than what I had in India. . I liked India one better. . I thought that chimmichanga would be same everywhere. . Which one is the closest to the real Mexican Chimmichanga? ? I still do not have an answer. .

Not great. Having heard good things about the restaurant, I booked a table to celebrate my birthday (something I stated in my booking request). We arrived a little early and were asked to wait for our table to be prepared - fine, not a problem. What was a problem was seeing 7:45 roll past, having to wait 30 minutes after my booking time to be seated and see people who entered the restaurant after us, with tables booked later than ours being seated ahead of us. The staff didn't talk to us, apologise for the wait or attempt to keep us informed. We had to ask twice what was going on before we got an answer.<br/><br/>When we sat down, the food took a long time to arrive and then they got one of our party's order wrong, which was taken back. Again, there was no communication about what was going on or how long it would be. By the time it arrived correctly, many of us had already finished. We were told that the item would be free of charge, yet when the bill came it was present and we had to dispute it.<br/><br/>All in all, the food was fairly decent and I'm sure the venue has a nice buzz and atmosphere, but having started badly and coupled with the poor service, my experience was disappointing. I could forgive having to wait for tables and food if the place was packed, but there were a number of empty tables so it's not like the staff were rushed off their feet and that would in no way excuse the poor service that we received. I doubt I would go back.

Great food and great portion sizes overall ....... GREAT
Mrwheels
A1 will probably make it one of our regular haunts. Only criticism is ran out of tortia wrap as food portions ratio was larger than wraps. But could have had more if we had asked.

Was not Mexican food

Gringo's is easy to find, close to Huddersfield Train Station and across the road from Tesco.
I've been there on two office christmas dos and a leaving do so far and have come out 'happy tummy'.
The place is quite small and so it gets cramped during peak hours. As a result it feels quite warm even during peak winter.
The staff however are very friendly and polite and offer suggestions and recommendations if you ask. They have the standard "latin american" beers on bottle along with the usual suspects, wines and spirits.
The food itself is brilliant. The portion sizes are big, the food is flavoursome and the texture is great. It's also appealing to the eye and most imporantly tastes great.
I would go there again and recommend this place.
Tip: Try the chimichanga.

We just fund this place in last minute. Friaday night very busy place. Staff absolutely brilliant quick fast with perfect customer service. Nice selection of starters with great presentation. Burrito in this place looking diffrent than tradicional but still very tasty. Very great food experience .

I thought this place would be over hyped, but it was not. The food was really good and very, very filling. I'm glad I didn't get a starter for myself. I thought how cute is was when they give you gummy bears once you have paid, I'm not quite sure if it was a one time thing or if they normally do that.
Oh! The jalapeños were crunchy, none of that soft mushy stuff
Atmosphere was good and the music wasn't too loud.
Just a very minor thing I felt odd was that the chairs were a bit too high, so the distance from the food to my mouth was quite far.

I enjoyed the meals I've had in the past, but the most recent time really disappointed me. I went there an hour and a half before closing time, which is 22:00, and was refused a meal because the kitchen was supposedly closed due to uneven numbers that evening. However, the restaurant had plenty of people in it eating and I was extremely disappointed. She said the times vary. Why would they advertise closing at 22:00? I hope they get their act together, because I've enjoyed their food on several occasions.

Two words; Mexican Heaven.
Ok now for the rest of the words. Gringos restaurant, Huddersfield is one of those places that are a hidden nugget of a town, that soon becomes a little bit of a local legend. You walk in and you're greeted almost instantly by a member of staff, before you get to know your bearings, you see a brightly decorated restaurant floor. Purple and red are the colours of choice. The tables are grand wood things with matching grand wooden chairs. You're seated, and menus are delivered and drink orders taken.
Scanning over the menu, there's something for everyone who's willing to try something different to pizza, pasta and curry. Don't worry if you don't know the difference between a chimichanga and an enchilada, it's all there for explanation. Personally, I decided to try the chimichanga. I was not disappointed. First I was in awe at the size of the plate. Portion size, HUGE. The gargantuan chimichanga was full of the spicy lamb filling I ordered, and there was a nice portion of refried beans and potato wedges, all tex-mexed out, naturally. I'm glad I didn't go for the starter, by the time I'd finished my absolutely tasty meal, I was packed out to the limits, as was the rest of the overstuffed and replete members of my party. There were eight of us in total, and as we had pre-booked the table, sat down, and ordered all before 7pm, and the bill was brought to us before the hour of 8, all of our mains were 241, or bogof depending on how you look at it. In my opinion it was a royal bargain. Call it £1.50 for a small coke, and the total bill price for each person was £6.50.
The only down side of our eating experience was that we were so full with our yumtastic and sizeable meals that we were all unable to roll our bellies forward to fill them with deserts, which were not two for one, but were very tasty in their appeal.
So pleased we were with our meal, we re-booked for a second sitting a few weeks later, this time with 12 in our party and at a later sitting time of 8pm. Again the staff were very hospitable, and the place was packed, all good testament to how good the food is. As it wasn't two for one, various bods were willing to try the steaks and specials available, again all with accompanying noises of approval. And as it was after work hours, there were indulgences into the cocktail pitchers available, and also the shooters for the more daring. The alcohol is a bit steep in price at £15.95 a pitcher, but apparently the taste warranted it.
Gringos has a great atmosphere, one of those places where you feel you could spend all night and have fun in a casual environment. Beware of elbow room, so popular is the place that there isn't a lot of room for manoeuvring oneself.
I say get booked and eaten for 8pm and enjoy a full belly at a great price.

The food was typical for what you would expect to find in most English versions of Mexican food restaurants, fajita's, burrito's, refried beans etc, there is a Tex-Mex grill and aslo specials offering non Mexican type food.
We ordered from the 241 menu (party of 5) and we all tried different things, enchilada, chimichanga, burrito, fajita, plus from the childrens menu for a 7 year old, when it arrived we were surprised at the size of the portions they were huge! the flavours were really good, spicy and very tasty, you can ask for different heat strengths if you prefer it hotter though, the guacamole and refried beans tasted home-made.
Although I'm happy we had starters (also 241), if you go there expecting to finish your meal I wouldn't bother unless you starve the whole day or have a very healthy appetite.
Very reasonably priced £55 for 5 of us which included starters, mains, bottle of wine and soft drinks
Will go again and try from the other menu/board.

Simply awful. I had King Prawns unwashed with sand in. The service was very unprofessional and slow. The fajita portions are massive. Too big and I must have seen 2 dozen plates cleaned away with tons of food leftover. Makes me suspicious. How can you serve up so much food and let it go to waste. Mexican food? Nah, Tex Mex maybe but I prefer Old El Paso.
sharnie
Food was okay as it was my first time there but the restaurant itself could be a bit bigger as it was very cramped.
lilmiss1982
I love this place. Its got a great atmosphere and the staff are great. Lovely little bar for drinks while you wait to seated. Fairly small but I wouldn't say cramped. The food is amazing mexican is lovely. Have been a few times and always been impressed.
wheelsuk
Get there for the 2 for 1, 7-9pm i think.
marcop080278
Nice friendly atmosphere, food absolutly fantasic. Will deffo go again but will make sure I don't eat anything for at least two day's prior to going as you get loads on your plate.
Beckster08
Good mexican food & they often do special deals if you get there before 7. It's good for groups & they do a great group menu which is quite a bargain.
On the down side, tables are a bit crowded together, so not somewhere for a quiet night for 2! Also every time I go there my hair & clothes end up smelling of mexican food, which while it is nice to eat is less nice to smell once you've left the building!!
Sillysarah22
