Gringo & Blondie Taqueria — trusted mexican in Elmwood Park. No frills and no gimmicks, just a solid honest room. Traditional preparation with honest flavors. Cecilia Rangel: "The asada meat is so juicy and tender"

“The classic margaritas was very authentic and delicious”
Grab a Shamwow cuz I'm about to spill all of Gringo & Blondie's tea on their weak tacos al pastor. They trash.
**Declining Quality and Rising Prices at Gringo and Blondie** I have been a loyal patron of Gringo and Blondie for quite some time, and the food has always been top-notch.

“First time at Gringo & Blondie and I was not disappointed.”
First time at Gringo & Blondie and I was not disappointed! Heard a lot of great things about the Birria menu, especially the Birria Pizza specifically! Overall, delicious food, drinks and amazing service! Will definitely come back to try the rest of the Birria menu and a lot more! Highly recommended!

“Went in right as they opened on Saturday to try their brunch options.”
Went in right as they opened on Saturday to try their brunch options. The food was 10/10 and the portion sizes left me enough left over for a second meal! Reasonably priced (considering I will get 2 meals out of it) and great service.

The food was delicious! Beans were a bit dry. The salsas are amazing, be sure to ask for the hotter one! Staff is so nice! We'll be going back!

Me and the wife had plans to eat at a different establishment but when we found out the wait was over an hour we decided to give gringo&blondie a try. Talk about a blessing in disguise!! Best quesabirria tacos in Elmwood hands down! Let me not forget about LA GUERRA!!!! A frozen Rum horchata that will have you begging for another one. Service was polite and fast but they did forget part of our order and had to ask a few times for to-go plates. Other than that we’re definitely coming back.

“This place is delicious.”
This place is delicious. Great value and fast pickup! The store was adorable on the inside as well. The al pastor cemita we ordered was one of the best sandwiches we’ve ever eaten.

“I stopped here with my family because we had around an hour to kill and boy I’m glad we did.”
I stopped here with my family because we had around an hour to kill and boy I’m glad we did. The classic margaritas was very authentic and delicious. Churros was perfectly crunchy while also being soft. Didn’t have a chance to try more than that but I know the food has to be fire and I will forsure be back for it. Service was casually good, and the atmosphere was cool but tbh I didn’t expect the food to be so authentic because of it. That to show you don’t judge a book by its cover. Highly recommend this place !
