A cute taco shack serving up delicious tacos. Perfect for a casual meal after a day at the beach.

Chill atmosphere with amazing tacos. I did the tour…one shrimp, one brisket, one crispy fish. Everything fresh, made to order, fast. If I could eat more I would, they are that good.

So disgusted by the two chefs at Gringos today ... I'm guessing they are also the owners, or maybe the managers? They were so rude, borderline abusive to the two kids working there. The poor girl working the counter was doing a fabulous job, clearly learning, but doing GREAT, she made a small mistake and pressed an incorrect button on the register and the taller guy shamed her right in front of us! Then proceeded to reprimand and explain why she was wrong again, ... And even again while we were sitting eating and all talking about what a douche he was! If these guys can't keep help, I guarantee that it is because they are so completely rude to their staff!The service was wonderful, super courteous, very sweet kids, very attentive! The food was good. I will not be going back considering the rudeness of the two men! Horrible way to treat your employees! What a turnoff!

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.Kid-friendliness: Can order a single taco, fun drinks, and easy seating options

Good for the area - we went in looking for a quick bite to eat. Had the chicken quesadilla and burrito - nothing over the top, but helped cure hangray. The service was a bit too much - someone came to our table once every 2 mins (not exaggerating). We'd go back bc it's convenient - hoping the service finds its non bothersome spot.

As a food connoisseur I believe in all my years and experience this establishment contains the secret to making not just a taco but a piece of beauty. This was not just good it has no change up no curve just straight gas. 10/10 would recommend if u want your taste buds to be having a little dance party in your mouth.
I used to live on Plover, and my friends and I have nostalgia for Gringo's. We went on every weekend getaway for years. You may not remember me, crew, but the tacos are Ocean Beach's pride. Stop in if you're new to the area!Vegetarian options: It is filling, healthy, and you get hearty portions!

I was really disappointed with my Chipotle Chicken Burrito as it was missing half of the ingredients! When I called the next day to let them know about the mistake, the super friendly and energetic girl on the phone responded with "I'm so sorry about that! You can almost guarantee that the 'next' time you order from us, it will be right!" And that was it. Really? Well, in that case, there won't be a next time. I think you can do better, Gringo's!

No taste to the burrito at all. It was a white rice wrap. My wife is Venezuelan and said it taste like a white person made it (I’m white) They also brought out the guacamole with black in a lot of areas. I couldn’t eat any of it. My father who’s a garbage disposal with an iron stomach couldn’t eat it either. Beach tacos for the same meal is about $13 cheaper and 5 stars, my wife also loves it.

Super friendly staff! That resonated the strongest for me. The couple of girls bring food and bussing outside tables were polite and effective client. Food quality is very good, but serving portion for tacos is no bueno IMO. When there is more slaw than the protein you ordered, becomes a disappointment. Place has great potential. Seating is limited indoors. Bring your shades for outside as there are no umbrellas at the tables. I'll try again, but will pass on the tacos and try something new.

Placed an order for take out , screwed up the order, and left the meat out of the tacos. Don't waste your time.
A little pricey for tacos.
