After attending the Blue's Victory Parade, we decided to walk around St. Louis a bit since it was impossible for us to extricate our car from the parking garage. We ended up on Washington Ave and decided to have dinner at Gringo. Upon arriving, knowing it was busy, we expected a relatively lengthy wait. We were told 2 hours. It was probably less than an hour in reality. I liked how they logged us in and we could check our status on the Yelp! app. We sat at a table on the street where a few other parties were. One table was enjoying dinner out there while we waited. Not once did the waiter serving those tables bother to ask us or anyone else if we desired any drinks or anything. Luckily our wait didn't turn out to be too long. Upon being seated our waiter greeted us and began reviewing the menu. He recommended a margarita and I agreed to it. They have a high opinion of their margaritas. I wasn't impressed. for $11 I expected more. See drink photo attached. We ordered queso and chips and found it to be very nice and tasty. I though the chips were a bit thicker than I would have liked but they were okay. I'm not sure if they were baked in house or not. For dinner I ordered steak burrito. The sauce on top was fantastic. It had a very deep and spicy flavor. I really enjoyed the food which makes it that more disappointing that I forgot my leftovers in the car only to find them the next day... Overall the food is really good and the drinks, at least the one I had, were over priced. Worthy of a 4 rating but not a 5.

After eating at Gringo Tacos + Burgers I will add it to my list of favorite places to eat downtown. This restaurant is next to some stiff competition with the likes of Sugarfire and Pie Pizzaria right next door, but with the quality of food here Gringo Tacos + Burgers is here to stay. I tried their burger and highly recommend it, especially with the upgrade to the Gringo fries. Next time you're downtown dont forget to swing by!
