This was our first experience at Gringo Street Food, and it was awesome! Our server Lilly was delightful, she was so attentive, enthusiastic, and just an all-round pleasure. Our food was delicious, we had tacos (ARGENTINO, MEZCAL, and GUINNESS), Yuca fries, Gringo Fries, chicken empanaditas (these were just okay IMO, but others at the table liked them), and chips and Guac. Everything came out quickly, but also well paced, the drinks came out first, then appetizers, then the mains, and we never felt rushed. We finished with churros, which were PERFECT!! they were crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside, the carmmel dipping sauce wasn't too sweet, it was just right. All and all a great night out, and the prices were very reasonable!

I have been there twice, and both times ate outside. The music playing from inside was soft and relaxing. When I went inside, though, I felt that the music was a little loud for my liking. The food was very tasty and nicely presented. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but the service on both occasions was very, very slow. 45-60 minutes is too long to wait for tacos. Perhaps this establishment is fairly new, and they are just getting their procedures organized? I will return in a few months and see if the service is any faster. Otherwise, a nice summer patio food experience.
