Gringo’s serves up out-of-this-this world tacos with a creative twist. Try the Mango Tango, Da Lobsta, or The General, a General Tso’s-style chicken taco on a crispy wonton shell.

Another favorite is the Chicken n’ Waffle with crispy house made chicken, chili honey butter, and burnt canela maple syrup on a waffle tortilla.

If you think you can handle it, there’s a Reaper challenge.
