El Gringos in Ryedale

26/10/2024 me and my partner went for an evening meal, the service was brilliant, especially Liam he looked after us very well, the food was great, big portions so you won't go home hungry, feel it just needs a little update with the decor and toilet upgrade, the hand dryer did not even dry my hands, put these points aside will go again

Food was excellent, service was a bit slow, but overall a very good night.

Very disappointing Chicken Fajitas, chicken appeared steamed or boiled (like in chinese takeaways)and just sat on top of the onions & peppers. Almost tasteless, no hint of fajita seasoning at all. One of my favourite Mexican dishes but would never have them here again, neither would I recommend them. Nice restaurant, plenty of lovely young staff offering very friendly service. Burgers looked good.

First time visit for my sister's birthday and we will certainly be returning. My mum and sister both has the Cajun chicken breast and I had the classic burger - both my sister and I couldn't get enough of the mexican rice! We all really enjoyed our meals, service was first class and friendliness of staff was brilliant. The only thing we thought was letting it down was it needing a refresh on the inside and out - don't let the exterior deter you from going in as the food is top notch - it's a fine hidden gem in Malton and does complete justice to the town's rep as 'The Food Capital of the North'. The atmosphere in the restaurant was so nice - music not too loud and it was clear everyone was enjoying themselves. We'll see you again soon 😃

My favourite restaurant in Malton! Amazing food, massive portions and incredible value. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Waited over an hour for food which was disappointing, amazing when it arrived though 👍

Superb food. Better than ever. It's lighter in your tummy. Really nice to eat. Great service with a smile. Food came quickly. We went twice this week as it was so good. YUM. Nice Shiraz as well. Great prices. Can't complain about anything. Thankyou El Gringos. This is definitely a Jen 10 out of 10 !!

Great Tex-mex in a great little village. Lots of choices and for a fair price. I had the ribs, chicken, steak option and wasn't disappointed. In fact this was one of the best meals we had on our week stay, and that’s saying a lot as we had some fantastic meals. My chicken and ribs were seasoned to perfection. The meat from both fell off the bone and there was a lot. The steak melted in my mouth which filled with saliva as it was so flavoursome. This came with onion rings which were crispy and a corn on the cob which was soft and tender. My wife had the chicken fajitas and ate every last bit. Chicken was seasoned well and was so succulent. The Mexican ride side dish was tasty and accompanied the main dish perfectly. This restaurant had plenty of seating and had a great atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and professional. We would certainly recommend and we will certainly be back when next in the area. Of course, if you are looking to expand then please come to Lowestoft.

Open on Sunday evening until 8pm. Extensive Tex/Mex menu plus other options. Good value.

Great menu, wide choice of meals available. Staff friendly and helpful.

Came here last night and had a couple of issues, however the team that worked here last night sorted the problem out and gave fantastic customer service; food was fantastic, great portion sizes!

Had a really enjoyable meal here. Authentically decorated inside and can even wear sombreros to wat your food in 🇲🇽🤠 Big portions and really tasty food!

Reasonably priced and nice staff. Not gormet, but still decent

Excellent service and excellent food and very cheap prices and massive portions

Excellent choice of what turned out to be some of the nicest Mexican/American food we’ve had in a long time. Great value for money, extensive choice and friendly, efficient staff.

Finally the place with proper tasty food! I got ribs and steak combo with blue cheese sauce and THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL!!!! this part is for Russian speakers: I kissed that mother’s cook’s soul, finally a place where they cook delicious food in this country!

Fantastic food, great service, good prices. Loved it.

Food was excellent, good service and friendly staffs. Sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce was perfect. Would definitely come back.

Really enjoyed our first meal at el gringos, freshly cooked and nice and hot when it came out. Attentive and friendly service and a good price Thank you

Absolutely amazing food. Highly recommended.

Lovely place, great value, fantastic staff and the food was delicious. Recommend 100%

Good food but takes quite a while.

Grand spot, highly recommend A ⭐

Delicious Mexican Food! Great service! Many thanks!

Honestly amazing food but they never answer the phone. We love to order take always and come into the restaurant but there’s never any answer on their phone line. Happy if they are too busy to do take aways but a simple answer to inform us would be great. Hoping this gets their attention :/

Found this absolutely fantastic restaurant. Went 2 days running. Perfect

Best texmex in the area. Really brill meal

This place is unbelievable! They never answer the phone! Why you got a phone number? We don't call you to ask about the weather. We want to order some food. And guess what ? If we order it , we collect it too!! Well this is how you lost a weekly customer that brings you 60£ ! We gonna get Taco Bell from now on . Thanks for nothing!

Outstanding food and really, really good quality service. Would definitely recommend it to and very cheap, too.

We absolutely love eating here with our kids. Great menu, affordable food, good portions and most importantly: delicious food. Eating at El Gringo's is always a feast!

Always been good for years. Draught beers would be nice, but the food is always a tasty bellyfull.

The service is great, the food is good but the place badly needs a makeover. I'd stay longer but it's so uncomfortable - rock hard seats and very tired decor.

Great food at reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere. Service is a bit slow but worth the wait ✋️. 5 Star 🌟

Very popular venue. Food was excellent and I'd make a bee line for it if I stay in the area again.

A great feed late at night. Lovely meals excellent value for money.

Had an amazing meal, staff were lovely too. A real gem

Staff really friendly. Food portions are massive and really competitive on pricing. For a family of 5 our bill wasn't even £70 despite everyone having a maim course and 4 of us having 2 drinks each. Really enjoyed our experience.

Outstanding food and service! Always the perfect place to go for a special occasion or when you fancy a good meal! 10/10, always recommend!

Fabulous restaurant that is top of its game . The staff are quick and polite, the food was delicious and there was lots of choices. I would come back again- highly recommend for anyone who would like delicious Mexi-American food.

The food was delicious, we all cleared our plates. The service was great and the atmosphere nice and relaxed

Best food I’ve ever had recommend to anyone who would listen

We went for our daughters 18th birthday just three of us , the staff are very welcoming my daughter was given a free birthday cocktail with a sparkler all the staff wished her happy birthday which was lovely , we ordered drinks which came straight away the ordered food shortly after although the Restaurant wasn’t busy the food took about an hour to arrive but we did notice there was a lot of take aways going out , this wasn’t a problem for us we weren’t in any rush , but just be aware just because it looks quite doesn’t mean it will be fast , the food was beautiful we had a chicken burrito , steak and chicken fajitas all really nice 👌 well worth a try it f you haven’t all ready Thank you guys for make our girl feel special

First time visiting as here on holiday, absolutely fantastic quality food and tasted fantastic!! Thanks, keep up the good work!!

2nd visit since the New/old owners have taken over. Chandon is very welcoming and Chris has put El Gringo's back to their best. It's always been good but now the foods amazing. Well worth a visit 👍

great food used to be very slow service first visit in over year service 100% improvement will use more often

Had the early bird plentiful lovley an hot great service lovley young man very attentive

Good decorations, and amazing portions for money.

Won't be back in a hurry. Hair in the rice had to send it back.

Steak was a little overdone but I'm sure that's just because it was busy these things happen everywhere. But none the less it was juicy and delicious. I had the chilli chase dog and the meat feast twist. Both absolutely delicious and had a nice kick of spice. Highly highly recommend.

Stayed in Malton over the weekend, tried a few different places around (with not much success in terms of good food) and really enjoyed El Gringos. Flavourful food, delicious cocktails, steak was properly cooked. “Hot” chimichanga options was vey mild, but I guess it depends on your heat tolerance.

Pleasant atmosphere. Service and food very good.

It's an ok type of place, I would pop in if you're passing, but I would not drive to visit if you catch my drift... Food was nice, big portions for the price...

Great tex mex food ,at a reasonable price . Can recommend natchos .

Plentiful and good wholesome Mexican food, ribs and steak cooked to perfection, service good, prices a bit OTT, unless you go for the teatime specials. Worth a visit.

Extremely good food for a good price one of the best places in the area for this sort of food and the price is extremely reasonable that's why I will come back again

Wow could the staff be anymore miserable??

Really good portions. Enjoyed all the food. Will defo go back.

Amazing food, great portions & attentive staff, highly recommend!

Top establishment, food never fails to be anything but great

We went as a group of 5. The food was extremely good quality, and there is plenty of it! If you ate before 5:30pm you got 10% off the bill too, which is great; think it worked out to about £10-15 per meal. My partner got the rack of ribs which were absolutely amazing, and I got a tower burger which was also super tasty. The food came fairly fast and the service was also great. I would definitely recommend, as it has improved over the last couple of years.

The flavours explode in your mouth. The portion size I found was spot on. A lively atmosphere with polite and helpful staff. Good value and would definitely return.

Not what I was expecting. But it was gorgeous. The staff were young and did there best definitely go back there.

We’re here on holiday and had a takeaway from here tonight and it was amazing! The portions were huge, the burritos etc all come with this rice side, with a little salad, salsa and coleslaw too. The flavours were so good too! The staff were also lovely when we were picking up. When we’re next back this way we’ll definitely be ordering from here again. Such good value for money! P.s the last photo is my hand next to the pot to show the size.

Had a cracking meal, and very reasonable cost.

We enjoyed the food here. Preparing a vegan option for me was no problem. My partner loved his burger. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

We were staying in Malton on Saturday night with our 2 Spanish Water dogs and were looking for somewhere to eat. We came across this restaurant and Mexican being over fave decided to give it a go especially as it said Dog friendly on the window. They were full when we orignally arrived but asked us to come back a short time later which we did. The food was great, with large portions and very well presented. The service from all the waitresses was friendly and very accomodating for our dogs providing water for them and a table in a corner so not to offend other diners. Sadly we are not local to Malton otherwise this would be our regular go to restaurant. Thanks for making us welcome.

Nice but a bit crowded and noisy. Great for large groups tho

Great atmosphere, food and service. Will definitely return.

Just brilliant food and service every time

Lovely food, lovely staff. Will be back

food was really tasty, great price too because the portion sizes are really big. staff were nice

We always eat at this place and usually it is a family favourite, however the food quality has gone downhill and the way we were treated on Sunday night was awful- sorry to say we won’t go back! The steak we were served was poor quality and inedible; we complained, didn’t eat it, and sent it back, yet it remained on our bill. When we asked for it to be removed they refused and we were told “you get what you pay for”. Apparently paying El Gringos prices for your meal means you ought to expect poor quality. After about 15 minutes of uncomfortable pushback from us they agreed to discount £3 off our bill. Absolutely disgraceful. It made us feel unvalued, like we were at fault and upset at the injustice of it. We won’t be back and won’t recommend it again to anyone.

Belly buster every time. I have been here so many times over the years and the belly buster consistently blows my mind.

Great food, well priced and brilliant selection for kids menu

Great food definitely going back soon!

Go HUNGRY! The portion sizes are massive! The size of the portions are really great value for money and the kitchen cooks like they really care about the quality of their food. Everything was well cooked and really tasty. The staff were friendly and service was quick. This would be a great place for groups as well as couples. We will be returning for sure!

Great food nice environment. Would benefit from music or mariachi etc but fantastic food pleasant staff

Lovely meal and great service 😊

Excellent and very well priced. My wife and I shared a "belly buster", and it was exactly that!

Lovely atmosphere , casual ,staff great ,food great and enormous !!!!

Good friendly service and delicious food. Great portions for the money. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Amazing food! Lovely little tucked away restaurant. Would advising booking a table.

Shame they don't deliver anymore... It's so crowded when picking up... 🙄😳. Good job the food is still good.

Visited here for the last night of a holiday in Malton. Loud and brash. Not fine dining but it is not meant to be. Had some great barbecued ribs and chips which was just what was wanted. Reasonable prices and good fun. Ideal for a family outing.

Stumbled across this while looking for a dog friendly restaurant, walked in just after opening time on a Saturday and got seated straight away. The food was gorgeous, the service was brilliant and the price was also very good, will be returning whenever we visit the area!

Staff don't know what they are doing

Lovely meal service good. Had evening meal

If you like your Mexican food and plenty of it then El Gringos is the place for you. I love the ribs that are served here, the meat falls off the bone and the BBQ glaze is brilliant. Absolutely well worth dining here.

Excellent setting. Excellent food, large portions. Staff very attentive. Highly recommend. 👍👍👍

Great food at a very reasonable price

Ordered takeaway from here and had a fantastic meal. Portion sizes are huge and I have a hearty appetite. The famous nachos could be a meal in their own right and will be eaten throughout the night as we couldn’t finish them. Also had a burrito and the meat feastbtwist which were amazing. Wanted tontrybthe suicidal sauce so asked for a pot of this sauce, they gave me a massive pot but it was delicious and not too hot but very very tasty. Definite give this place a go either by dining in or takeaway.

If you want takeaway ring very early, especially on busy evenings. The food that we collected was excellent, everything was very tasty and all the mains a good size and served with rice, salad and dips.

Quite a small restaurant so it felt a bit squeezed in but once seated it was fine. This place was busy when we visited with all tables filled and it showed - food was a bit slow to turn up and the staff though friendly seemed rushed off their feet. The food was delicious - the blue cheese and mushroom burger was superb. The portion size was OTT - there is no way we could have had/shared starters and/or deserts with our main meals. I'd go back on a quiet night happily.

This was an unplanned visit on our way back home from Flamingo Land but it was a great find. Busy place and we were lucky to get a table, so booking is sensible, but it's perfect for families as the menu covers a lot of options that kids, and adults!, will love. The portion size was very generous and quality was excellent. They clearly have a busy takeaway trade too with the volume of people collecting orders. The decor is inkeeping with the theme and a little rustic. Service was prompt and friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit here.

Huge portions! Delicious food 😀

Good food and well looked after.

Nearly great. portions good, on time and lovely staff but lost one star for slight inconsistent quality

Nice place, nice staff and great food. Good size portions without being gross. If you like spicy food order the suicidal sauce. It's good, but not a killer, or is that just me?🤔 😁

Love this restaurant. It's my favourite. Food always brilliant, staff always lovely. We recommend to everyone and can't wait to to back there

Super friendly efficient staff, good food and excellent value for money. Dog friendly too, which is a massive plus.
