Loved it, Amazing hidden gem � ! A bit slow in food but if you get some chips and a drink you’ll be good while you wait for food! Which by the way food is real good too, Totally recommended!
Damn amazing. Great food, great service, doorman was really friendly. Not super expensive for a quick bite after a night out. Would definitely recommend to my friends!
Call me low brow and maybe you’d be right but I just want to be happy and there is no way I’m not happy when I’m at Gringo Gastown. A favourite of mine for the past 5 years at least, I will recommend this little taco bar to anyone who is here for a good time. Mis amigos, if you’re looking for authentic tacos or real deal Mexican cuisine, than you have stepped into the wrong place but you should still pull up a stool and stay awhile. Order yourself a Bourbarita because juicy watermelon and bourbon is refreshing and you only live once. Also, it comes with tasty tasty gummies and you have nothing to lose.

It is a very good option if you want to have cheap drinks along with tasty food.
Me and my friends were really happy after visiting this place
Total dive! Brisket taco on the menu so I had to try it out and I don't regret it. I love their brown bagging of their drinks. Played the greatest hits of the 90s the whole time there. Kitschy as hell, down an alley, surrounded by parking garages. If you don't know about it, you should go find it.
Small place, but hey..it's a good food!
Craving of mexican food in vancouver, and we ended up trying the restaurant called 'Gringo'.
In Gringo, you could have your own Taco selections with varieties.
This is a small restaurant, but many people like it, so you will get some line in a dinner time.
The price is affordable per person and the portion is good to feed your appetite.
Enjoy the bright pink neon, pink flamingos with the 90s music, and you could grab beer in cheap price.
We enjoyed the quality of the food and had a warm welcome from the restaurant.
Must a try restaurant if you are in vancouver! Selamat Makan!
OveraI I had a really positive experience at Gringo.
The decor and music were fun, the service was excellent and the food was passable for the price.
That being said I did have some issues, my tacos were watery and inconsistent. I ordered two pork tacos that were, although watery quite tasty so I ordered two more my second helping of tacos where fatty and not nearly as enjoyable.
Oh my goodness. Amazing! Super awesome for late night tacos. Kinda smaller but if it's busy you can always do takeout like we did. Awesome homemade hot sauces, super delicious queso and homemade chips. Good price and friendly staff!! I think it's safe to say it's in the running for new favourite taco place.
Tacos – when you just don’t want to bother rolling up a burrito. These handheld hunger-hammering hammocks carry so much flavour in such a compact package. Being small also allows for more variety – it’ll be like a tasting flight, but for tacos. I usually go to La Taqueria, but oinkyCHAN and I decided to head to Gastown for a change of scenery. Gringo in Gastown’s Blood Alley sets itself apart from tacquerias and cantinas by zapping its patrons back to the 80’s and 90’s with its bright pink neon lights, old school TV shows and retro tabletop designs. We initially walked past this place because it looked like a night club from the outside.
Overall, their affordable and tasty tacos made me happy. The flamboyant Thai Buckets were pretty fun too, but I doubt I would spend $16 for one next time. It might not be the greatest spot for cocktails and cocktail crawls if the quality of booze really matters to you, but the experience is definitely one of a kind. However I would come back here for the tacos.
There’s nothing that can’t be fixed with a good taco. And there’s especially nothing that can’t be fixed with 3 good tacos for $8. Make sure you mind the syringes as you stroll the cobble-stoned Blood Alley lined with dumpsters and the occasional unsavoury character on your way to Gringo, but never look back.
When looking for a starting point for our afternoon cocktail crawl, I couldn’t think of a more fun launching point. The bloggers of “Picky Diner”, “Drunken Noms”, and I were brought together with our love of the drink. We came to the realization that there aren’t many food bloggers out there that review drinks or like to drink, as we did. So we sought a night out revolving around some of the unique cocktails that the Gastown restaurant scene had to offer.
Cozy place with great food and interesting cocktails. The staff is really nice too. Be careful with the hot sauce, it is Mexican spicy, not European spicy (they also sell it in a bottle so you can take some flaming hot goodness with you). The washroom is also quite funny, you need to carry a huge sign with you to open the door, we loved it. The street might not look inviting, but I can assure you this place is well worth a visit!
Good time and good vibes. Our server Jess was lovely, and gave us the perfect recommendations for food and a drink. Definitely would come back again for some late night tacos and drinks. I preferred the pork tacos over the austin(beef). Also would of never known it was located in middle of a alley.
Such a little hidden gem of a place! Food was delicious, staff were so friendly and the atmosphere was great. Lovely little dig down an alley, which gave it a quirky feel. All of our party enjoyed their food, and I liked the relaxed dining environment. If you're looking for somewhere affordable yet delicious for Mexican cuisine, this is your place! I'm also a vegetarian and they had tasty veggie options!
Great food, quirky and fun vibe! Attentive and friendly staff. I have been a few times and always look forward to going back. They also have a margarita bucket and cocktails come with little candies. Literally nothing to not love about this place!
What a vibe!!! From the music to the decor, everything felt so intentional and well curated. My friend had a spiked michelada, I had a bourborita - both were fantastic. So well balanced and delicious. Cole was friendly and enthusiastic and our tacos were fresh and tasty. Will definitely be back on our next visit to Van.
This tiny tacos bar was a little bit hard to find, located in a narrow sketchy alley. We tried many of their tacos and the brisket was our favourite. It was super juicy, flavorful, and wrapped with corn-style tortilla. The Mexican rice was okayish and the guacamole was good. Super friendly staff that make you comfortable, but gets supra busy (the tiny shop was full when we visited). The burritos and drinks were also delicious!
I love everything about this place, from the great tacos to the sketchy blood alley hidden location that makes it feel very local, to the amusing decor. And the staff are great, super friendly. If I ever opened a taco shop, it would basically be this place. Only complaint is no more fish tacos, but cheap beer makes up for it. 😁 If you've been to the well known chain taco places, and not here, you owe it to yourself to drop in and get some brisket tacos asap.
