We were looking for some good Mexican food, and this hit the spot. The service was good and the food was good. My 8 year old loved her cheese enchilada! The parking in the area isn't very good, but they had valet parking, which helped. more

We went here for a Friday night dinner while staying nearby at the Ocean Park Inn. It's not right on the beach, so don't look for any views from the restaurant, but it's right next to the entrance to the pier and is just a block in from the ocean. In short, go here for the ambiance, not for the... more

My boyfriend and I went to dinner here one night in December and got to sit outside near the firepit (we were the only ones out there so it was romantic).

We brought an "out of town guest" and only had problems. The sever let us know from the start that we were in for a rough night. Our evening started with chips and cheese dip that were colder than the service we received from our angry and robotic bartender. After this we were told that, around 9:25pm, the kitchen had... more

Gringo's is ok. If you want good tequila all you have to do is order it. The food is somewhat unique and the service was not bad at all. It's not the Old Ox but times they are a changin'. more
