El Gringo in Aurich

I went to El Gringo with four colleagues at the beginning/mid of December for a small Christmas party. The quality, taste and presentation of all five dishes were absolutely great. Even though the restaurant was full, everything went smoothly with short waiting times. In any case, the price-performance ratio is more than decent. What I personally didn't like was that the noise level was very high and the tables were very close together. I also found the constant running of other guests to the buffet annoying. Therefore only four stars.

The food was delicious and I can recommend it.

The food is amazing! The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was unique!! Were there several times. Nobody makes steaks as good as El Gringo. We were thrilled every time! Simply amazing!!

As always, a feast for the palate. Cocktails were great again and the service was, as always, very friendly and fun. The steak was grilled to perfection and was excellent.

Our favorite restaurant for years. I can only absolutely recommend it. Claus 😅

Very tasty food, generous portions, nice service.

Long-time customer. I'll always be back when possible. Ambience is very nice. Decorated with palm trees and clay figures. The mirrors on the walls make the room seem larger. The space on the street is very quiet and pleasant. The large room can be a bit noisy with many guests. It's always nice outside in summer too. The buffet is always worth a visit, ideally to try half the menu. Since the restaurant is always very full, it is always necessary to make a reservation. Ordering and picking up is also possible.

Delicious food and attentive staff. Be sure to pre-order.

I go there very often and it's delicious every time. Even as a vegetarian, there is always something there for me!

Fantastic! I was completely satisfied, the staff was very nice and the food was also very tasty. Nice atmosphere

There for the first time today. Absolutely clear recommendation!!! We'll be back, thank you very much 🫵👍

The El Gringo restaurant is always worth a visit! The food is always excellent – ​​fresh, authentic and tastes of the highest level. What is particularly impressive is the variety of dishes that suit every taste. The waiting times are completely acceptable, especially considering that the food is always freshly prepared. A great place to enjoy Mexican food in a relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend El Gringo!

Best Mexican in Aurich and the surrounding area probably since 2002, but at least since 2009. We are regular visitors - the spare ribs are simply magical. The Mexican fire soup is also highly recommended. Köstritzer on tap - a pleasure! Otherwise Fajita Cubana, extremely tasty! What's better than the food? The staff! Super friendly and always attentive. We'll be back soon!

Food was very, very tasty. Service was friendly and despite Christmas parties etc. we still got a table for 3 people 👍🏻 (had called beforehand) We would like to thank you for the really great service last night and the delicious food😊 We'll definitely be back 😎

Great, simply great, great food, and very cozy, nice service, attentive

Always very friendly staff, very good Tex-Mex cuisine. Thursday is buffet, also very good. Reservation is often necessary.

Very tasty dishes, with fresh ingredients. Great cocktails. Nice service and a very nice atmosphere. The best restaurant in Aurich.

Buffet is awesome. Food delicious. Recommendation: Eating outside in the yard in summer is great.

Always very tasty, nice staff, everyone very friendly. Regular customer!!!

Great restaurant. Steak very tasty

Great restaurant, very tasty food and very friendly staff Always my pleasure!

It's always been excellent so far, but today we were probably unlucky. The salads: well, the fillet steak was excellent, the rump steak had far too much smoky flavor, the quality was just short of very tough, the baked potato was exquisite, the fries as a side dish could be counted individually. Very unfortunate

Food class 👍 Very plentiful 😋 Service very courteous and friendly

The food was plentiful and tasty. The staff Even though we were the last guests, they were still very friendly and attentive. We had a table outside. You can sit there very well, it's comfortable and there was always staff within sight to order drinks, for example. b. Waiting times were extremely pleasant... Everyone was happy... None of us had any reason to complain. Top ‼️ Keep it up 👍

Very good food and friendly service ☺️ everything was just good

A really delicious establishment, the steak was really very good. The staff was courteous and motivated at work. The ambience was very accurate and stylishly decorated.😎 You have to know!

Very tasty, rich and freshly prepared. We had two different plates for 2 and 3 people each. The 6th person licked his fingers after the SpareRips.

Very tasty food. Not exactly cheap, but the quality is good and the portions are sufficient.

Very tasty food, great buffet and very good service. Prices are ok.

We have been coming to the restaurant for over 10 years and you can always say delicious food, nice staff and great ambience...but last time was a new positive experience...due to a stomach reduction I can no longer eat much and I told the staff the situation explained...after a short consultation with the boss I was allowed to eat the "all you can eat buffet" at the children's price...we thought that was really great and will come back👍👍👍 keep it up...

A thoroughly successful concept for a Mexican buffet. Very tasty and something different. The service was good and the price is ok. There was a lot of meat but also vegetarian parts.

Great, well-kept restaurant with a good selection of food and drinks. Also with buffet on Thursdays. Very friendly service.

The food there is very tasty. Parking is a bit limited, you can park easily opposite the school.

Food great as always. Nice service.

I was there from work. We ate buffet and had a wonderful evening.

As always, great. Service great, food great and plentiful. Authentic atmosphere. I feel comfortable there.

Simply great! Nice personel. The food was great every time 👍🏼 Drinks were great too.

Friendly staff, very good food, large portions

Boy Boy. Mighty portions. Just the thing for when you're really hungry. Food top. Drinks quickly at the table. Nice selection for vegetarians too. Salad included beforehand. Also great. Had a nice evening. Thanks for that.👍🏻

Very tasty food, good and friendly advice. Would love to come back. We recommend!!!

In addition to the unfortunately very poor parking spaces, the restaurant offers friendly service and a varied menu. If you go to a Mexican restaurant, you shouldn't be surprised if 9 out of 10 dishes are spicy, but there are also dishes without spice, as well as a selection for children. The prices are average, requests are taken into account and implemented and the food tastes excellent. The starters also offer an interesting selection. On sunny days you can also sit outside on a large terrace, which speaks for itself. However, I have to say that it looks a bit like the early 2000s, where everyone had yellow wallpaper in the kitchen. The bar area is very dark and the dining rooms on either side lack a cozy feel. Mexican decoration can be found everywhere, but unfortunately it looks boring and old and there are too many artificial palm trees. My personal tip would be subtle with some typical warm color accents and warm indirect lighting. Mexicans are passionate, musical and, like their dishes, “fiery”. If you could find these words in the ambience, then it would be perfect!! 4.5 / 5 stars 😊

Was very impressed. How friendly, always available, very tasty food. Really recommended.

Very good food, great service, nice atmosphere.

Highly Recommended. Super delicious food, friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Price-performance - 👌

The food was super tasty and the service was also very good

El gringo is and remains the absolute bestseller among Mexicans in the area. Rarely have we had such good food on the table. A perfect all-round package. The only negative point would be the noise in the location. But that would be complaining at the highest level.

Friendly service. Delicious. The portion size is also great. Great price/performance.

Were there on Easter Sunday with 4 people. Great food, very tasty...relaxed and loving staff, rarely seen such nice service staff, attentive and not intrusive and still presentable. We don't go out to eat often, but we will definitely be coming back here very soon. Thank you very much 👍😊

Service was very nice. Service was quick. Food was delicious. Friendly, nice and clean

Super Service Delicious and plentiful food Cocktails delicious, plenty of alcohol, one was enough 🤣

delicious Friendly staff Only recommended

Great local!!! Food and service 1A!!!!!

We went to the buffet on Thursday... it was just great... it was quite busy so you had to queue and wait, but the food was really great... it wasn't the last time we were there

We live in Aurich and have therefore eaten there several times over the years. Everything we tried was very tasty. The platters for two people are particularly recommended, so you have the opportunity to try out various Mexican specialties. However, the Senorita plate can be seen in the photo. The meat is cooked perfectly every time. The drinks, such as cocktails or the house wine, are also very tasty. The service is very well organized and the food is quick, even though the restaurant is usually very busy. It can get very loud in the restaurant, especially with large groups. But a visit is definitely worth it; reservations are recommended in advance.

The food is very tasty but there is always room for improvement. The ambience is typical but not intrusive and the service is great - there is always someone on the way to see if you have any further requests. All in all, a very nice evening. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, we'll be back!

Very tasty and rich and above all very friendly from the staff

We always enjoy eating there. The food is always top, no matter what we ordered, across the menu. Always reserve, otherwise it may happen that there are no tables available. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Ordered a meal for the two of us, super tasty, great service. Very happy to come again.

Very, very happy again. Very tasty and highly recommended

Super freundliches Personal *** Sehr gutes, leckeres Essen *** Schön gekühlte Getränke *** Insgesamt Preis/Leistung einfach top 👍

The restaurant is always busy and therefore very loud. The conditions are great and very friendly. The food is very tasty, unfortunately some things didn't taste very good, such as the nachos. Overall a very nice restaurant. We'd love to come back.

I ordered a grill plate there with several types of meat, only the spar ribs were buttery soft, I didn't think they were that good, otherwise everything tasted good.

We were here with a group of 16 people. Despite the large crowd in the entrance area (the restaurant was very busy), we were quickly given our seats and the service was also quick. The menu is so extensive that it took us a long time to choose. The food came quite quickly and we liked it very much. For me it was a successful evening!

Waren wieder mal hier. Wie immer waren wir begeistert. Super Service, Essen Spitzenklasse! Empfehlen können wir die Platte Nr.81

Das Büfett ist sein Geld nicht unbedingt wert hat wenig mit Mexiko zu tun. Die a la cart Essen an den Nachbartischen sahen aber alle sehr lecker aus. Das nächste mal werden wir auch a la cart Essen probieren.

Sehr leckeres Essen und super freundliches Personal.

Das Buffet war lecker, es wurde immer frisch nachgefüllt. Der Service war auch super 👍

Wir hatten dort ein Familien Essen am 2 Weihnachtsfeiertag..trotzdem das Restaurant richtig voll war mussten wir nicht lange auf Haupt und Vorspeisen warten. Ständig war jemand vom Personal da und erkundigte sich nach Getränkewünsche...keine Spur von Stress. Das Essen war hervorragend. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team vom El Gringo für den wunderschönen Abend das tolle Essen und den top Service.

War sehr lecker dort! Gerne wieder

Sehr nette Mitarbeiter. Absolut leckeres Essen. Wir kommen Definitiv wieder. Dankeschön

Amigo Teller war sonst mit 5 Steaks,diesmal mit SparRibs. Nicht so gut.

Das Essen war super lecker, das Personal freundlich und aufmerksam. Wir waren mit einer größeren Gruppe dort. Es hat allen gut gefallen. Toll war, dass wir kurzfristig für eine andere Gruppe einspringen konnten, was in der Weihnachtszeit nicht selbstverständlich ist. Ich gehe gerne wieder hin.

Getränke habe ich leider zweimal ordern müssen. Das Essen war sehr schnell da. Super. Leider war das Fleisch zu durch. Zuviel Fleisch. Ich persönlich hätte dafür gerne mehr Beilagen. (Gemüse)

Wir hatten Mexikanisches Buffet, super Auswahl und sehr lecker!!

Restaurant von innen sehr schön gestaltet große Auswahl an Essen nur leider schmeckt das Essen nicht besonders. Das Essen hat war nicht gut gewürzt und eher einfach gehalten. Das Personal war sehr nett jedoch war das Personal vietnamesisch?chinesisch? Was ja gar kein Problem ist, aber das passt nicht so ganz mit dem Restaurant zusammen Sie wissen ja gar nicht, wie es tatsächlich in Mexiko, Spanien oder den anderen Ländern schmeckt Und das hat man tatsächlich auch sehr gemerkt. Das Essen war schön präsentiert, aber das war auch das einzig positive am Essen.

Super Bedienung Super Service Super Essen Einfach alles spitze

Bewertung musste angepasst werden.Ist schon etwas her ..Seit einiger Zeit gehen wir vier Mädels 1x im Monat überall woanders Essen,um viel verschiedenes auszuprobieren.Heute waren wir hier dann mal im El Gringo. Bei der Essensentscheidung waren wir ein wenig wenig überfordert.Die Portionsgröße ist echt der Hammer.Wir haben uns zu viert 3 Vorspeisen geteilt und 4 verschiedene Hauptgänge,danach 2xEis mit heißen Früchten mit 4 Löffeln. Wir probieren immer alle von jedem Gericht.Geschafft hat von uns niemand seine Portion.Wirklich lecker, das Essen.Die Bedienungen durch die Bank weg nett.Die Preise dafür wirklich nicht hoch.Wir kommen wieder,aber dann wohl nur zum Hauptgang.Vielen Dank für den netten Abend

Die Belegschaft war außerordentlich nett und sehr aufmerksam, es wurde uns direkt ein schöner Sitzplatz angeboten. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön und mexikanisch gehalten. Man fühlt sich wohl. Wir haben eine Platte für 2 Personen bestellt, das Essen war schnell angerichtet, heiß und sehr lecker. Wir sind begeistert und können El Gringo weiterempfehlen.

Sehr nette Bedienung und sehr leckeres Essen!

Riesen Auswahl und sehr lecker.

Wir kamen durch Julia, unsere sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, in dieses Lokal! Das Essen war ausgezeichnet, das Ambiente ist sehr nett und die Mitarbeitenden ausgesprochen freundlich, zuvorkommend und sehr um das Wohlbefinden der Gäste bemüht, ohne jedoch aufdringlich zu wirken! Es ist sicherlich nicht verwunderlich, dass das Restaurant sehr gut besucht ist! Also wohl am Besten einen Tisch reservieren! Es lohnt sich in jedem Fall! Wir sind zwar aus Berlin, kommen bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Aurich aber ganz sicher sehr gerne wieder! * Vielen Dank! * Cảm ơn! *

Sehr lecker gegessen ,Personal freundlich u aufmerksam ....

Essen war großartig, wenn auch teuer. Der Service war gut, aber zu wenig für die Anzahl der Kundschaft. Zudem haben wir einen Platz zu fünft bekommen, der eig für 4 gedacht ist. Wenn man keinen Platz hat sollte man das lieber im Voraus so kommunizieren (vor allem wenn man schon ein Tisch reserviert). Ambiente passt zum mexikanischen Thema, aber leidet durch den Platzmangel.

Super Essen. Immer wieder gerne. Die Platte für 2 reicht locker für 3

Sehr gutes Restaurant, freundlich und das Essen ist sehr lecker. Zum Essen Vorort perfekt 👍 wenn ihr was zum Mitnehmen bestellen wollt nehmt bitte passende Boxen und Warmhalte Behältnisse mit, bei mir wurde es leider nur in Alufolie gepackt. Nicht Dicht und die Soße lief aus, alles im Auto. Das Essen war auch leider schnell kalt... Kleine Kritik, vielleicht wird es ja aufgrund dieser Bewertung geändert, das wäre toll.

Wir wollten einen Tisch online reservieren und bekamen erst 2 Stunden vorher Bescheid das zu der Uhrzeit nichts frei ist. ( Reservierung hatten wir einenTag vorher mit genug Vorlauf angefragt). Desweiteren würde uns geschrieben zu der Frage ob Hunde erlaubt sind: Der Hund hat ein Schild um das es draußen bleibt.(Zitat) Äh....sorry aber man sollte als Gastronom anders antworten können.

Immer wieder gerne...super essen, toller Service...wir gegen gerne dorthin 😊

Wir waren mit 6 Leuten da und hatten 2 Mal die gringo mix Platte. Es war so unglaublich lecker und sehr reichlich. Wir werden definitiv ab jetzt öfter kommen. Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Die Spareribs und die Chicken Wings sind immer wieder ein Highlight.

Wie einige 4 und mehr Sterne vergeben können, ist mir ein Rätsel. Das Essen/Fingerfood ist im jedem Discounter zu finden. (Mozzarella Sticks, Feta-sticks, Chicken Wings, Onion-Ringe, Frischekäse- Jalapeno-Taschen, Tacos. Das Salatdressig besteht aus Majo+Ketchup-Gemisch und ist geschmacklos. Es geht dort zu wie auf einem Bahnhof, so laut, und so hektisch. Eines steht fest, der Laden sieht uns nie wieder.

Sehr gutes Essen, keine Frage einer der besten Mexikaner in der Umgebung. Allerdings dürfte etwas an dem Ambiente gearbeitet werden, ab und zu ist es zu kalt und man ist nicht wirklich für sich, weil die Tische zu nah ohne Abtrennung aneinander sind. Außerdem kann ich das All-you-can-eat am Donnerstag NICHT empfehlen

Wir hatten einen schönen Abend im El Gringo mit supergutem mexikanischen Essen uns sehr freundlichem und aufmerksamen Servicepersonal.

Ich bin sehr angetan vom "El Gringo". Das Essen war absolut vorzüglich und toll gewürzt. Es ging trotz eines fast komplett vollen Restaurants sehr zügig und die Servicemitarbeiter*innen waren sehr freundlich und gut gelaunt. Auch das Ambiente war sehr stimmig. Ich werde definitiv gerne wiederkommen.

War eben mit 3 Kollegen im El Gringo essen. Tisch hatten wir nicht bestellt ,drinnen war es auch recht voll aber draußen war alles frei. Essen hat lecker geschmeckt der Service war hervorragend.

Es bleibt das beste Restaurant! Wir fahren immer extra 50min zu El Gringo! Super lieber Service und mega Ambiente! Riesen Portionen und angenehme Preise !✨

Super essen freundliche Bedienung wir kommen immer gern und fühlen uns auch immer sehr wohl

Wir hatten 2 Burritos zur Abholung bestellt. Einen mit Rindfleisch und einen vegetarischen. Die Präsentation war wenig ansprechend und sehr lieblos. Zwei matschige, gefüllte Teigrollen, mit ein paar Gramm „Käse“ drauf in Aluschalen geschmissen… Wir reden hier immerhin von Burritos für 18- 20€ das Stück. Beide Burritos waren fast nur mit Lauch gefüllt, das Rindfleisch in meinem war zäh und komplett tot gebraten, das Gemüse zerkocht. Kidneybohnen und Maiskörner konnte man an einer Hand abzählen. Gewürze kennt man hier scheinbar auch nicht, hat beides einfach nur langweilig geschmeckt, ohne jeglichen Pepp und hat beim besten Willen nicht an mexikanische Küche erinnert. Der Salat war eine Handvoll Eisbergsalat mit nem Klecks Sourcream ausm Laden, da wurde nichts nachgewürzt oder irgendwie versucht etwas besonderes daraus zu machen. Absolute Enttäuschung und man merkt, dass die Köche ohne jegliche Liebe oder Passion bei der Sache sind. Nie wieder.

Ziemlich voll und laut (an einem Donnerstag). Mein Essen war Mittelmaß.

Sehr gut. Die Portionen sind echt reichlich.
