I've been here a few times (and done an in-depth review that Google has decided doesn't exist anymore for some reason) and really like it. They have a lot of gluten free and vegan options, especially as taco fillings. They offer vegan cheese, sour cream, rice and beans also. The menu is well labeled. I would've taken more pictures of it, but they were on my last review that has now mysteriously disappeared. So I'll have to add more menu pics when I go back again. Overall, I really like the food and the atmosphere there. Good choices for everyone in your party, no matter the dietary restrictions. So this is a place I'd highly suggest checking out if you're in the area. ***Update 5/22/25*** I took my daughter here for her birthday and we both really enjoyed it. I got the Red Chilaquiles with the vegan chicken, vegan cheese and vegan sour cream. I was told that this time, the only vegan meats that weren't gluten free were the carnitas and the beef. But it can change, depending on the sourcing, so make sure you ask each time if you require gluten free. My daughter got a chicken quesadilla and a beef taco. She really liked the beef in the taco and the quesadilla overall, except for the chicken. So are says next time she'll just get a beef quesadilla and combine the best of both worlds.
Been here a few times and I’ve never been disappointed. The food is amazing and flavorful and doesn’t taste processed, the wait staff is super friendly and the service is quick. The atmosphere is pleasant but a little loud. Overall I highly recommend.
I had the pomegranate martini and the red pork enchiladas. Service was attentive and pleasant, food and martini were tasty, and prices reasonable. More vegetable options would be nice. Altogether very enjoyable!
We went to Gringo a Go Go at 7:30 PM on Friday night in March. It was a little cool, so we wanted to sit inside, though the outside is nice setup. We sat at the bar. The bartender gave just the right amount of service. Food came out quick. Drinks were well made and tasty. The Alambre with Al Pastor was one of the best Mexican meals I have had in a while.
Taking a long walk around the city makes an appetite. You definitely want something clean afterwards. Come to Gringo and the food is superb. Fresh, plentiful, and imported Mexican coke products. The Alambre is great for anyone needing a great plate of food, and I will be back my next walk around the town.
Great spot centrally located in downtown Raleigh on a popular corner. I’ve been wanting to come here for a while and luckily I came after the lunch rush show was really chill and there was great service. I definitely will come back here again great vibes for a team lunch. And my food came out very quickly.
This was our first visit. The food was good. The chips nice and crisp. The salsa was different than what we were used to. Nice atmosphere. JP was very nice, patient and attentive. He made the experience great. We would definitely go back.
Cute white building with three or four parking spaces out front. Street parking accessible. Fun colorful decor, some Mexican Day of the Dead iconography. Clean, prompt service. Great attention to detail, classy. The menu delineates Vegan and Vegetarian options. I had the Vegan Chorizo in my burrito. Yummy! I don’t always go meatless, but when I do, it needs to match the flavor I might get in carnivorous counterparts. The Vegan Chorizo Burrito did not disappoint. We had authentic chips and guac as starters, so delicious! If you’re going out, go go go to Gringo A Go Go!!
