We celebrated a wedding on the patio and JD was our server. He was so delightful and personable. He never acted like he was hurried or frustrated even though there were many different orders for him to keep track of. Kudo’s to him and also to you for hiring him. He is truly the best we have experienced in our time in Tucson. You will bet that we will be back to your establishment.

Fantastic food. Reasonably priced. Great atmosphere. I had my order to go and was not disappointed. You've gotta try it! I had carne asada tacos and cerviche. Delish!

Delicious food, great service, and scenic views. I understand there's a new chef, so I can't speak to the changes before and after. I just know it's more than I expected from a hotel resturant. Servers visited frequently, helpful with the menu for a first time visit, and helpful with tips for the area overall. Local and macro beer on tap, but not a huge selection as the focus is tequila. I had an amazing Kah tequila on the rocks, totally smooth and velvety. We split a juicy burger, (which was split!) tacos, and guac, all delicious and in heaping servings. Would highly suggest to fellow travelers!

Excellent food and service. I had chicken enchiladas and my husband had chicken Fajitas. Absolutely delicious! Alexia was our server and she was delightful. Service was quick and friendly. We ate here twice during our trip to Tucson will do so again on future visits.

Enjoyed our meal. I had Chile Relleno and husband tortillas soup. A few margaritas. End of stay enjoyed Calamari and more drinks while we enjoyed sunset. The calamari was great. Service was good and they put outside heater on so we really enjoyed deck.

We took the red eye in from Phila, conducted some business. By 5:30,we were ready for some good food, but didn't want to drive. 300ft from our hotel was Gringo. Lucky accident! John is an above par bartender/server. His Margaritas are among the best I've ever had! Service was awesome as well! We had the Happy Hour Tacos. Amazing! Homemade guacamole. I encourage both locals and visitors to give this place a try! I know we'll be back before going back to Philly!

If you want to try some Tucson favorites, Gringo is definitely a good place to go. There is a wide variety of options available on the menu to satisfy anyone, from traditional items such as steak to more unique specialties such as chile rellenos, both of which I've tried before. Out of those, I actually preferred the chile relleno, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. While the steak was expensive at 30, most the menu is very reasonable, such as the chile relleno at only 10. The salsa that comes before the meal is quite exceptional as well. Finally, the service I have experienced at Gringo has never been short of superb. Gringo has always been a favorite of mine at a great and beautiful location
