Gringo restaurants opened its first location in Gastown’s Blood Alley (Vancouver BC) back in 2013 & has been slingin’ tacos & good times ever since. WTF is Gringo?! Think ‘white-trash cantina’ meets ‘all-inclusive resort’ where good people can come together and enjoy themselves under the warming glow of neon lights and sing along to classic 80’s & 90’s jams, all while scarfing down delicious tacos and sucking back cold beers. Where most restaurants & bars out there are all about using tweezers to place food on plates or some obscure unpronounceable liqueur from who knows where in a cocktail, Gringo likes to K.I.S.S (keep it super simple). From the tongue-in-cheek twists on its classic Mexi-Cali food menu to straight-up brown-baggin’ it and beach bucket bar options.

Gringo was founded on the desire to reconnect to that genuine sense of community within every city and neighbourhood. That’s why when you walk through Gringo’s doors you’re welcomed like an actual person and we introduce ourselves because we take names not seat numbers. There’s no automated kiosk or self-serve checkout here. Just good vibes for great people. So, you’re a big hotshot movie star? An elite superstar athlete? A dishwasher at the fast food joint around the corner? That’s cool. There’s no secret password or exclusive VIP line. Because at Gringo everyone is appreciated for the amazing person that they are not where they work or how much money they have in their wallet!

After all, when did going out for a beer & a bite to eat cost more than rent?!? Fortunately, from the $4.50 beers to its $3.25 tacos, Gringo is a place where great food and drinks will satisfy every craving without breaking the bank. $4.50 beer?! That’s right! Who makes it? Well, it’s local. It’s delicious. And it’s $4.50. What more could you ask for?! More tequila margarita time? Awesome! We’ve got a selection of ‘crap’, ‘ok’, & ‘bto’. What are they you ask? Well. ‘Ok’ is okay. ‘Crap’ is good enough to get over the border. And ‘bto’ because everyone kept asking us for something “better than ok”.  Ah! More of a cocktail person? We’ve got ‘shake & dumps’! Think cocktail without the fancy flare, straining & 15mins of waiting. It’s just ‘shake’ & ‘dump’! Hangry? How ‘bout a face full of tacos? Maybe a burrito the size of a baby’s arm instead? Or a quesadiLLa however you want to pronounce it? Gringo has an everchanging menu of delicious options stuffed with your choice of any of our classic & rotating features like the Wilbur (Yup. That’ll do pig), Kung-Fu (Kung Pao Tofu karate chop!), or the What The Cluck?! (because why the cluck not?!) Whatever you’re hankering we’ve got something to drown those stomach rumbles, major munchies, & late-night needs beneath a happy blanket of Gringo goodness.
