El Gringos in Leeds

Even though we had a confirmed reservation the restaurant was closed on arrival

Haven’t been here for a while so was looking forward to a nice meal with our grandchildren as a treat for their birthdays. We were the only ones in for at least an hour. We’d looked at the menu online: 2 meals for £25 plus 2 drinks. We ordered chicken & prawn fajitas, sorry no prawns, a steak, sorry no steak, chicken Maryland & the blackened salmon. Not very good at all , we used to love the food at El Gringos, sadly this was our last visit.

Absolutely terrible. Went friday evening, we was the only ones there. No mash, no coleslaw. Order was taken wrong. My friend had to wait while we ate for his to cook. I took one mouthful of rice and reslised it was micro rice! This was confirmed by the waiter. Food bland. Asked to speak with the manager but he wouldn't come out of the kitchen, too busy with takeaway orders. Left the young staff to deal with our complaint. Do yourself a favour and dont waste your money on this place.

Had a takeaway. 2nd rubbish one from here so will not order again. 1 hour late, that was an issue with kids. Chips not cooked, Nacho's welded to tin foil tray with congealed cheese. Veg enchiladas a soggy mess, inedible.

It's ok for something quick but the steel chairs and general decor need serious attention.

Always cancel orders and when I've had the food is usually cold

Great. Tasty. Massive portion. Good price. Lovely server. Just very full

August 29 for my birthday. 6 adults, one 10 year old. The restaurant had only two people and a child when we went in , so we sat down. We were there over 2 hours ,waitress was nice but we waited ages to order the starters, then they were ages before we got them, the mains came. Most of the mains were cold wrong items on the meal, also one meal was asked to remove items from the plate because they don't like them, but they came with all on the meal, plus a item was ordered but never came , this was not on the bill but it was still ordered but not received, overall very disappointed with the food .

Sat in the dark, had to ask for a drink 20 minutes after we was there, had our starters an hour and half after drinks then was told their was not enough chicken for both meals, left paying for what we had. Will never return, its not the same anymore

Love it here go all the time, portion sizes ere great and cocktails and even better! Deffo recommend for large groups or even a girls night.

Do not even contemplate going. Took over an hour for food to arrive, after waiting 15min to be served. It was practically empty and looked like it was about to close down! Grubby & dim feeling. No atmosphere just terrible. I got my food which was Luke warm and chicken was brown? Just didn’t touch it. Rubbish service and wish we’d had just left and gone elsewhere to be honest! Could kick myself for not.

The service wasn’t great and the food took a long time to be served to our table considering it was nearly empty! We had to ask to order our food and call over for more drinks. The red wine was cheap and nasty! We won’t be going back

Extremely rude chef!! Staff was nice but looked like they didn't know what to do and how to run the tables smoothly. We waited nearly an hour for starter (1 for the whole table!) and another 30-40 minutes after that for mains. Part of the order was missed for one person and when we asked waiting staff, the chef shouted so we and all restaurant could hear 'what's his problem?!' We left paying only for what we had. It looked like they were much more focused on take away orders than the customers they had in the restaurant. Massive shame, because food that we had was lovely, but will never go back because of chef's attitude.

Food was lovely, service was slow

Looking for an exceptional Mexican dining experience? Look no further than El Gringos in Yeadon. This restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Came to see the play in town and had late dinner there.... Fantastic place worth coming from Leeds just for that restaurant! The food is authentic and bursting with flavors that transport you straight to Mexico. But what truly sets El Gringos apart is the phenomenal prices and fantastic service. Trust me, a meal at El Gringos is an experience worth savoring.

Having been a few time, we were looking forward to tonight however the food was bland, half the amount of potato skins on the plate compared to the menu description. The place looks run down, dim lighting and just kids serving, no management. Do not go here, waste of money.

Visited on a Saturday evening. Quite a few people in but not overly busy. We found the service very slow. Arrived at 8pm but didn’t get the main food course until 9.20pm. Food was ok but nothing special. There was a large group of people at the other end of the restaurant who were loud and complaining about most of the food. We found that this table got most of staffs attention , we never got asked if we wanted more drinks etc and didn’t get asked if our food was ok.

Just been for my wife’s birthday meal they set a booth out with balloons and stickers the food was really good we got steak and ribs combo and grand slam kids didn’t see what they liked on menu they were happy just to make what the kids chose staff were great with my 3 year old got him stuff to keep him calm the ribs are summat else would defo recommend this place

Wow. What a fabulous place! The food is excellent. Very tasty huge portions. The staff are super friendly and can't do enough for you. Fun atmosphere what more could you want.

The staff are so friendly and welcoming. My teenagers and husband got a belly buster platter with burgers , ribs ,chicken , chips and veg on it. They were so impressed it was all cooked perfectly. I am vegetarian and got a veggie chimichanga which was lovely. It is such good value for money and I can't believe it wasn't busier . I have paid twice as much in the past for food nowhere near this good.

Lovely Mexican restaurant, delicious food and huge quantities! Friendly chef and staff members. Would definitely visit again.

Always 5 star food and service every time we visit this gem on the high street Portions are huge so bear in mind when ordering! Love the 2 for 1 cocktails on a Friday 🍹

Amazing food and so well priced for takeaway and eat in! The ribs and enchiladas are amazing!

Really tasty food. Best delivery food we have had in a long while. Salads lovely. Succulent tasty ribs.

Amazing food, friendly staff. Plenty of space as in tables not too close together and feels over crowded. Love it here for eating in and take out

Very friendly staff,good atmosphere. warm and clean restaurant with a good selection of food to choose from. Great place to take the kids, Hat's compulsory 😃. Good value and very tasty food.

Great food and staff but poor service. A little training could go a long way.

The food was great, but the staff seemed to struggle with the basics. We had a 1 hour 10-minute gap between our starters and mains. We ordered a round of drinks and randomly 1 pint arrived out of 5 drinks and after I asked a second pint arrived and a rum and the other 2 drink never arrived. I believe our table wasn't the only people who was complaining The main issue is this restaurant was too busy serving takeaway orders that the customer in the restaurant just didn't get properly looked after. When our food finally arrive none of us was really bothered it got ate but we was passed it a bit. I get it stuff happens, but better communication. Oh well nevermind.

Today we celebrate my daughter birthday, the staff are always kind and helpful. the food was wonderful. we always choose to come to El Gringos, attentive staff and tasty food at a fair price

Our food was beautiful great service can't wait to go back

It used to be so good but has gone downhill recently. After the last takeaway we got was cold, like it had been sat in the car for an hour, I thought I'd try collection. Of 3 meals ordered, 2 were wrong. A vegan quesadilla with cheese and sour cream and chicken and mash with no mash. When we phoned about it we were told a manager would call back but if course they didn't. We'll give it a miss from now on.

Booked a table here for 5.30 four adults 2 children after asking several times about our food we were constantly told a couple of minutes. Some of us finally got served at 6.50 the rest got served 15 minutes later and the food was only just edible.

Gorgeous food and lovely staff 🌟🇲🇽🌮

Terrible service, ordered a takeaway and the food took over 2 hours to arrive. I had previously been to El Gringos and enjoyed it but I’ll never go again following such bad service. Congrats on losing a customer.

Decent portion sizes but food is nothing amazing. The main issue is the wait time for food. Be prepared to wait a while for main dishes

It Was OK. food was nice but wasn't anything beyond a chain type restaurant feeling. Reminded me of a Mexican pizza hut with the decor.

Always loved this place and i cant fault the waiters and waitresses and they do the best cocktails. However, we ordered food to be delivered, food wasnt hot i'd say luke warm. My daughter had eaten half her chicken burger then noticed it was pink inside, she showed me and i told her not to eat anymore. I had messaged them twice, first message they have seen with no reply and the second message they are clearly ignoring! They either need new msnagemeng or a chef who knows how to cook! picture of burger in comments 🤮🤮

Eat here on a regular basis, great food, excellent prices and good service. A mix of Mexican and American food with very generous portions so make sure you're hungry when you visit, my wife often has a kids meal and even they're generous portions. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

This place is really basic. Food is slopped onto a plate with little thought to any presentation. We had two different main dishes but they both looked identical when they arrived. The waiters are 15 years old and really not sure about anything really.

Just picked up an enchilada and burrito with fries and onion rings direct from the restaurant. Had to wait 5 mins because it "wasn't quite ready". No probs. Drove 5 mins home and all the food was cold. Defies logic. £25 wasted.

The staff were super friendly and the food was amazing, would definitely recommend!

Two stars for the excellent friendly service from the young lady that served us. I personally did not like the food. The fajitas were bland. More like chicken in gravy. Just bland. You got 5 or 6 fajitas but a minuscule set of sides that were gone in one, possibly two rolls. I asked for more and was given them with no problems. Don't think I will be in a hurry to return.

Absolutely fantastic staff very polite food piping hot have been there lots of times never had to complain

Food is absolutely delicious..huge portions,so order carefully .

Love the food went to it my birthday

More than Tex-Mex. They have Cajun, southern fried chicken and Hawaiian dishes on the menu. Not the same Tex-Mex you will get in the Southwest US but enjoyable. Friendly staff.

Got a takeaway it was late but tbh I don’t care food was worth the wait best ribs I’ve ever had we also had salmon , chilli burger and a burrito and everyone was blown away Great food

Great service although it was very quiet. Large portions, lovely tasting food. Would def go again.

Wow! Loved it all. Food, service and staff are all amazing. Staff were really careful re: gluten-free requirement. We shared a starter, which was plenty for 2. Main course portion sizes were very generous (food bags for both of us, and we have good appetites). Excellent value. We went when it was quiet so there were no wait times. We will return very soon. Why didn't I know about this place before??

5/5: Absolutely fantastic. The starter arrived within 10 minutes and was brilliant. Very soon after we finished, the main course arrived and was the best mexican food I have ever had. Staff were very friendly and co-operative. Fantastic value for money and we will be returning soon.

Went for the 1st time and was more than happy, excellent food

Magic night out ! 1week ago Highly recommended!! 👍

No complaints great food and service... Would recommend.

Friendly staff, food lovely and great choice but had a long wait for food 40 minutes

Wonderful food and service. Pricing was great for the quantity of food. Another great independent restaurant that shows they care. Will be back again.

A bit loud (maybe I'm getting old). But the food was tasty and the service very friendly. I rarely use cash any more, so couldn't leave a cash tip. The contactless payment was over before I could think of offering a tip. Sorry about that. I wish there was a better way of offering tipping options for people without cash.

Had a takeaway, nachos, enchilada and quesadilla - delicious and great sized portions

Ordered food and was informed it would be up to an hour for delivery. 1 hour and 45 minutes later (and after 3 phone calls) it finally arrived. Disappointing.

Ive bough a few takeaways from here on special occasions and I’ve always really loved it. So for my birthday i wanted to go and have it at the actual restaurant. I was so surprised to see how quiet it was. The service was amazing i don’t know what other reviews are about. Our starter took 30 mins but I prefer this as it gives me time to talk and spend time with my family. 20 mins after the starter we got our mains and it was the best chicken ive ever eaten. The portions are big aswell and i couldn’t finish it. They also let me keep one of their sombreros since it was my birthday which was so sweet of them. They definitely deserve more customers! I will be going as much as i can. Definitely the best birthday meal ive ever had. Thankyou.

Food was great, but the place was so cold had to wrap my coat around my legs to keep warm, toilets too need some attention they were not the cleanest.

Service ridiculously slow half of food wrong food was substandard then overcharged us 💩💩💩😒😒🙄🙄😦 the toilets were absolutely awful the doors wouldn’t lock and there was no light in the cubicle so it was dark,and it was tiny... I wouldn’t recommend this place. 👎

We've been here quite a few times now and the food has always been very nice, the drinks are about averge price for a restaurant and food around £10 / £14 . we were dining on early Saturday evening and it was very quiet, which in these times of Covid is probably a good thing for the customers !!!!

We’ve had a takeaway from here a few times. Always very happy. This was our first time eating in tonight. Great food, lovely friendly staff and very reasonably priced for the quality of the food.

Delicious food and friendly service.

We went this Sunday 24th October. Absolute gem of a place. And at affordable prices Staff were really friendly and accommodating The mixed chimichanga was to die for. If I could give this place an extra star I would

Really nice atmosphere. Helpful, pleasant staff. Delicious food. Great portions. What more can I say.

Lots of great food friendly staff

Service was a bit slow tonight but the food was as good as always.

Beautiful food. Catered to my egg allergy really well. Reasonable prices. Only thing for the resturant to work on is the wait time for food. Waited 50mins for starters and roughly 30mins after for mains. Even tho the resturant didnt seem busy. Everything is cooked to order and is very tasty

Me and my partner went here tonight and everything was fantastic from the service cleanliness and the food was amazing never tasted food like it before would definitely recommend anyone to go there

Very very tasty food, well presented and huge portions. Well worth the eating experience!!

The food is brilliant, service great. Good value. Recommended

Excellent food , generous portions and really friendly staff.

Lovely food...very tasty, big portion sizes!

Just been here for the 1st time. Staff lovely, food lovely, nice atmosphere and amazing value for money. A 2 course meal for 4 with cocktails came to £100. Fabulous , we will be back. Xx

Fabulous place. Excellent value, great atmosphere and lovely staff.

Lovely food will definitely be back 😊

Lovely food, served hot, friendly service. Hubby steak cooked to perfection.

Food very average, service not that great. Don't think we'll be returning

Had a takeaway and I have to say they are some of the best burgers we've ever had. We will visit again

Great quality food & value for money. Unfortunately our server had to deal with a complaint so tables we're left waiting. Other members of staff seemed to prefer listening in rather than clearing tables, checking how food was and getting other orders. Would definitely return though just an unfortunate incident that left us a bit disappointed.

one giant nacho dry and moulded together that’s been sat under a pass lamp for hours cost me £8 because they ran out of something else. Would love reimbursement x

Great food, helpful and nice staff! I didn't know we've got that good restaurant in Yeadon!

Good food at a very reasonable price. I shared the 'Belly buster' meal for 2, with my wife. Excellent, but so much food, had to take some home.

Lovely food, staff were excellent

Ordered a take away from here tonight, stunning food ordered burger and chips massive portions and beautiful nice and hot sill be my new favourite place. Looking forward to eating in aswell.

Delicious food all-round and fresh-tasting herbs and vegetables.

They make the best bbq ribs ever!!! Would highly recommend! And fast delivery too

I didn't know this place existed until last week-3 miles away. Well, we are going to be regulars. The food is outstanding!!!! Absolutely fabulous. I have just had THE BEST STEAK EVER!! Cooked to perfection, delivered on time and hot. Huge portions Cannot recommend this fabulous place enough. 5* 10/10 Amazing 😁

I have Belly buster all I can say is wooow absolutely gorgeous! Best food I have eaten in ages!! And you get loads for your money! This place is definitely our new weekly takeaway place to go:)

Could only have been a takeaway because of lockdown but the food was great and very large helpings. The staff where friendly and helpful.Will definitely use them again

Absolutely amazing! Favourite Mexican I've had in years will be ordering many, many times again! Highly recommend!

We ordered our food at 8pm on a Saturday night, we asked how long for delivery told 50mins to an hour, not the best but having been hear before and having a taste for Burrito we were happy to wait. After 1 hr 10 mins I called and got told it was being bagged up and would be with us in the next 10 mins. I called a further 20 mins later and was told it was with the delivery driver, it took a further 15 minutes for it to turn up. At this point it was 9:45pm and we were over it. The food was obviously cold and did not meet the usual standard. It was tasty but it was like eating next day food.

We have had Just Eat delivery from El Gringos a few times over the last 2 months and it has been a delicious meal every time. My wife has a gluten allergy and they are very careful and have some good options for her. The portions are very large, consistently prepared, and a substantial menu to boot. We are very glad to have discovered this restaurant! We have had the Burritos, enchiladas, chimichangas, Monterey chicken, and the Cajun chicken. All were excellent. The chimichangas are deep fried burritos essentially so calorie beware! 🤤 Highly recommended.

I had the best burger I have ever eaten that I hadn’t made myself from El Gringos. The burger was perfectly seasoned, tender and juicy. The food was delicious and still piping hot when it arrived. The portions are incredibly generous and excellent value for money. I ordered a child’s burger meal and still couldn’t eat it all and I am a good eater. Coleslaw, fries and onion rings were also delicious and the cheesecake is amazing. I’m delighted to have this restaurant available to us and you can order directly with them so they can keep all the revenue from your order.

Slow service, got one of our mains wrong and a dessert, quiet pricey however the food was absolutely gorgous and there alcoholic drink selection was great

Our favourite restaurant, great food lovely friendly staff good service 👍 usually eat in unless on Lockdown 😢 Guess we’ll be ordering for delivery again this time too 👍

Never eaten in, but get takeaway regularly. I always get the chimichanga! So good!! 😋

Outstanding service and food. Piping hot, tasty and enormous portions. 2 waitresses including Grace(ours) worked tirelessly serving and mixing drinks, serving food, taking payments, making sundees, taking takeaway orders over phone, clearing and cleaning tables all with a smile on their faces. Best food and service in a long time. Definately coming back

Ordered for the first time tonight via Just Eat. Turned up early and was absolutely amazing. Definitely ordering again. Thank you.
