Staff were incredibly friendly as always, I'm an incredibly picky eater and they were super pleasant when I asked for just the ribs and fries.
Overall pleasant experience, fast service, friendly atmosphere, good prices.
Might even try something other than ribs one day!
Highly recommend El Gringos the staff couldn't do enough for us and nothing was too much trouble they really look like they like to be there. Now onto the food, oh my goodness amazing flavours cooked exactly how it should be. You would think you were in Mexico lol. The place is decorated very well and in a quirky Mexico setting which adds to the atmosphere.
If you want a great experience with good food pay this place a visit
Ordered the belly buster for me and my partner to share and it did just that. So much food and so tasty. Well worth the price 10/10
Came without booking tonight.very kindly fitted us in although busy. Beautiful food. Thoroughly recommend the creole salmon and King prawns. Amazing. Husband had the surf and turf and I had to stop him lucking the plate. Staff on point. Quick efficient and attentive. Oh and the margaritas are as they should be. Salty and sharp. Will definitely come again ❤️
Excellent service, first time been since they moved and it's a better location nearer town. Staff were great as I have a special diet and they catered perfectly for me.
Absolutely loved it. Great food and service. Had potato skins for starters. Tex Mex burger for main. Wife had chicken and rib combo. Ate it all. Few beers to chug it down. Definitely Recommended.
Thank you very much.
Food tasted great and portions were really large also. Cocktails were OK. The only downside to this place was the smoke from the kitchen clouding up the restaurant; my eyes were hurting from this the entire time; I dunno if it was a one time thing as it was my first time visiting but no one apologised about it. Meal service was good too
First of all I decided to take no pictures of the building itself, it's currently undergoing massive renovations and I decided it would be unfair to show it as it is, don't be put off by the work, the food is great.
We started with the nachos, it's ment for one but it's huge and will easily feed two as a starter, it was also excellent with properly melted cheese (far too many places don't do this).
Next up was a chicken and beef chimichanga served with rice and black beans, again this was excellent, I went for the hot variety (you get to select the heat) it was warming, but not overly hot, although heat is a matter of taste.
My partner had the chilli bowl, the bowl itself is a crispy tortilla, this was medium and again was delicious.
The place is informal and child friendly, the staff are polite and friendly.
The portion sizes are large and incredibly good value for money. Again don't be put off by the current building works you won't be disappointed by the food.
Really lovely night. My wife and I turned up Thursday with no booking but were sat almost immediately. The staff were really welcoming and pleasant and the food was lovely. It was our first time visiting but most certainly won't be our last.
When El Gringos closed its doors at its previous location, on The Esplande, I was worried (very worried) it might not reopen.
I was delighted to see it has now reopened at this location.
I visit Scarborough a few times each year and, for me, this is a must visit restaurant. I recommend the chimichanga. Yum!
A great restaurant with different food to what you find everywhere else in the local area. Really tasty and great prices too. The location was also amazing as you could see the whole of Scarborough the bay and the spa but apparently they are moving very soon.

We always had a great time at the old location, so are delighted it's just as good at the new spot - and is more central to town!
Excellent food, friendly service and competitive prices, with plenty of vegetarian options - a brilliant Mexican restaurant!
Please take them seriously on the "very spicy" option, it's really hot, but still really tasty! I'm a vindaloo eater and generally find Mexican food to be not as hot, no matter the claims, but El Gringo's "very spicy" Chimichanga blew me away, it was great!
We visited Scarborough and stumbled across this place on Friday night. The good was beautiful and good portions. We iked it so much we wanted to spend our last night in Scarborough there for tea too. Sadly they were fully booked. We would definitely pre-book next year.
A good selection of food. I really liked the starters. Staff are warm and friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. The menu is pretty varied so most people should be able to find something they like
Really nice restaurant, very good atmosphere and vibe too. The restaurant is quite small so it is best to book a table to avoid disappointment. They have a great range of cocktails and drinks, plus a great menu with lots of options including a kids menu. The food is a little expensive but it is worth it as it tastes amazing and portion sizes are massive. Food came fairly quick and staff were so friendly and helpful. They have lots of things in place for covid 19 too such as staff wearing PPE, screens between tables and hand sanitizer. The only downsides were the chairs where a bit uncomfortable and had a numb bum and the toilets were a bit unhygienic. Over all properly the best restaurant in town, will definitely be going again and would recommend.
This is a hidden gem, do not let the scaffolding outside put you off. The food is fresh, full of flavour an totally amazing!! The staff are so helpful an always smiling!! Cocktails are so good!! Definately a 6🌟
Great food, best Mexican in Scarborough would definitely recommend. It's very popular for take out on Just Eat. Restaurant dos need some TLC but the building looks like it's going through a renovation.
Myself and my family fairly regularly visit El Gringos and we absolutely love it, Amazing food for a great price, plenty of it too. Staff are all lovely, and atmosphere is nice. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice place to sit in for a meal in Scarborough.
Limited choice for veggies but great place and great service - friendly food and delicious staff. Would recommend
