Gringo's Taqueria

Hands down the best Taqueria in Hampton Roads. I have never had a bad experience there, nor a bad dish. Drinks are always outstanding as is the service. If you ask me where to get the best fish tacos, I will tell you Gringos, and I do not eat seafood. I love the feel of the place the smallness of it makes it feel intimate, and it has a vibe that makes you want to stay and not rush through your meal. I say 20 out of 10 stars.

I'm from California & I learned to cook from great genuine Mexican cooks.Gringos is a cute, clean, nicely decorated restaurant , highly recommended by Virginia Beach natives. Salsa was exceptional & chips were thin & crisp, yummy!My Yubi taco was good, not great.Rice was mediocre, black beans were mediocre. Green side salad was mediocre. These items are very cheap to make but important to Mexican food lovers.I'd love for the owner to respond on yelp to me for my recipe for authentic delicious Mexican style rice, how to make a mediocre side salad delicious, just by adding a few cheap ingredients. Offer a good, solid Mexican flan topped with whipped cream and sprinkled cinnamon or nutmeg for dessert. After spicy heavy food, flan made correctly is yummy & soothing to over indulged stomachs. Margarita (skinny) was very good. I love cloudy margaritas, means it's made with real juice.Your restaurant is so highly recommended, so cute & clean, & with so much competition it'd be in your best interest to accept my advice.I'd love to visit again & see delicious authentic rice on my plate.

Gringo's Taqueria is on the highly recommend list for locals and visitors. One of the best fish tacos I've had ... anywhere. Soooo good. The kind of taco that makes you audibly say "Wow. That's good". We went twice on our last trip to VA Beach. Craft cocktails were creatively garnished and made with pride. Tasted great. Took a long time for bartender to make (on our first visit) worth the wait.Wait times can be long, or short, depending on the night, and you wait in the outside hallway. Doesn't matter. Have a drink while you wait. Mojitos are authentic and lots of varieties (Classic was my favorite, Mango and Pomegranate were very good too). Cool vibe "locals only" and "visitors welcome" all in 1.Super friendly service. A hidden gem off the beaten path in VA Beach.

It is not the best Mexican food, but not the worst. I ordered pork and shrimp tacos. The pork tacos were good. They had some heat but not a lot of flavor. The shrimp tacos were very plain. I ordered them without sour cream, and they only came with shredded lettuce. And in flower tortillas. They have pineapple salsa. It wasn't bad; it was good with the heat of the pork taco. I also ordered guacamole; it was fresh and helped add flavor to the tacos. The restaurant is small and clean, and the service was good, but only a few people were dining. Although it was not a bad experience, and the food was not bad, I would not eat there again.

Didn't love the fish's flavor in the tacos (gordon fishsticks esq) with cabbage, and for it being the Tuesday special, two tacos for nine dollars could have included one more or beans and rice. Drinks also could have been colder.

Gringo's is a small, local's joint in the same blue building at Zeke's and Pizza Chapel off Norfolk Ave. It's small and intimate inside with a bar with about 5 seats and about 8 or so tables. Staff were incredibly friendly. We had to wait about 10 minutes for the table which wasn't too bad. We browsed the menu while waiting. It's small and doesn't have a ton of options or healthy veggie items, but there were a few things to choose from. In the end - we went with chips and salsa - yum with a small side of white habanero sauce which was very good. I ordered the chicken enchilada and my husband ordered two tacos. His tacos were large in size and you pay per taco with a bunch of options for toppings ands styles so you can easily mix it up and get as many as you want. Food was out quickly and pretty big portions and our waitress was very sweet. Their sweet tea was delicious. Loved the salsa and chips. My enchilada was different than what I expected. Not wrapped and fried but more like baked lasagna on a plate. But good. Huge portion. Would come back again. Tends to get super crowded in summer from what I hear but we got lucky this Friday night.

Service was so fast I was taken back! The women that work here are so wonderful. I got a veggie burrito and it was absolutely full of incredibly seasoned and fresh vegetables.Would definitely go back!

Another home town favorite for Virginia Beach. It's a very small and quaint place. Not suitable for large groups but it would be a nice lunch or dinner date. Met by the owner who works here regularly. Super sweet lady. We sat ourselves with no wait. On this visit I started with a Porch Swing from the drink menu. So good. A tequila based drink garnished with scorched oranges and pineapples. Very refreshing and sweet. Perfect for a warm summer day! My main course I ordered 3 tacos , pollo asada, a pork and fish taco. Presentation is always amazing. Tacos are big and flavorful. Probably should've got two but I didn't eat breakfast and my eyes deceived me. Honestly no complaints about this place!

Small local taqueria inside a strip mall. Service was fast. Food was just average which was disappointing based on the great reviews. I had the shrimp and pineapple taco and the pollo asado taco, which were just ok. The queso was also slightly bland. Rice and beans were traditional and nothing special.

Little hole in the wall restaurant I guess it's a hidden gem the food was very good service very good and the restaurant was clean vey nice dinner out well managed
