Mexican small plates & entrees in a space with counter-service, vibrant walls & outdoor seating.
I’ve been going here for four years now and the prices are consistently low the service is fast and the food is great! The portions are enough for lunch and dinner. Thank you.
Our tacos were filled with what I can only describe as pork or beef flavoured wet dog food. It was underseasoned and the lettuce was dry and wilted. I cannot fathom presenting this to someone and being proud of what I created. The jalapeño poppers however were excellent
Amazing authentic experience We found this little shop/restaurant recently And it made our day It felt like we just walked through the doorway into Mexico Service was so warm and amazing that we felt like we made a new Yes best friend Wish we found them sooner Ask for the Nachos …. Not on the menu You won’t find better As for the shop …: if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food /supplies to prepare at home … this is the pace to go Can’t believe the Westshore is so lucky to have this amazing shop/restaurant Bravo!!
Been ordering pickup from here for a little while. Food here is very tasty , fresh and the staff are always so friendly!
oh man, this is probably the worst “mexican” food i’ve ever had. the burrito was a mess and had absolutely no flavour. we ordered potato bites and they were still frozen in the centre so we couldn’t eat them. we also got tacos and they had no seasoning at all, and were just bad. seems like the entire menu is just frozen stuff from sysco. the only positive was the service was good. waste of $50.
The food here was quite expensive, but delicious and very filling nonetheless. The employees there were very communicative and knew the menu off of heart pretty well. The atmosphere is nicely decorated with Hispanic-inspired artworks and paintings, with a vibrant color scheme to the walls. I highly recommend the enchiladas, and give this restaurant, Three Gringos two thumbs up!
Service is great, so friendly. I've had a few dishes and they have all been so good. 100 💯 recommend.
It was easy for me to rate based on this single visit; the flavors tasted there (they didn't get too stingy with seasoning), not too salty for me, it was a good first visit. It was pretty straight forward to order, it was nice to see extra hot sauce available (on a side-counter) without having to ask for it. We ordered a taquito meal, quesadilla, some fish tacos, and an enchilada(I think, sorry I forgot). We were all satisfied with our meal, and for the price, it was worth it. You know when you order food and thought it could have been better quality for the price? I personally didn't feel that way, I was satisfied. The decor gave an immersive experience, right down to the tablecloth. Lastly, we had a Mexican student come along with us, and she approved. I take that as a good sign!
The food was OK but definitely expensive for what it was and all the sauces were just salty
Great food & great customer service from friendly & efficient staff. Casual place. Its become a regular spot for us.
Delicious as always! I had the burrito bowl and I couldnt believe how amazing it was :)
Always love coming here. The food and staff are amazing and the atmosphere is always fun.
Great Place to enjoy lunch! One of my favorite places in town.
Fun little Mexican themed diner, that serves really good food. Its been hard to find good chimichangas on the west coast, but this place does a great job fulling that void in my diet. Definitely recommend. Vegetarian options: You can order most things without meat.
Disappointed
Honestly a terrible attempt at Mexican food + overpriced. Food is on par with hospital food. Ordered the rice and bean bowl and got a slurry of beans and sour cream with 15 grains of rice. Also ordered a taco salad, the order came out as a bean bowl, they replaced it with their second attempt at the original order and also got that wrong. We later noticed they also overcharged us for the wrong order. I d highly suggest you go to any other place in town. Hate to complain, but this complaint had to be written.
The completely messed up our order. We ordered quesadilla and they served kids quesadilla while we had not ordered kids meal at all. Rice and bean bowl was so cheesy and creamy and it looked more like nacho plate than rice and bean bowl.
had to say so sad..was one of my favorites.. but the portion is so much smaller,way less flavor.. on thing that went up is the price. sad
When I lived in Langford it was a go-to spot for me and my two siblings, us being three gringos. After I moved away I missed their chimichangas too much and now every time I visit van island I make sure to dine in at least once during my visit no matter the distance to travel. The free ice cold water was bliss especially for my friend who tried a spicy dip and is not usually a spicy eater... The service and kitchen always have good energy and are very welcoming to all diversities that I feel they enjoy spoiling everyone and the food says it all, tortillas fried to perfection and all the flavours bursts with every bite.
Ive been twice now with 2 years between visits. It seems popular with the locals but its not my first choice in the area (or 2nd)... but just because Im not impressed doesnt mean you wont be, so try it for yourself.
Not sure where the high ratings are coming from. Staff were nice and service was fast, but the food is cafeteria grade. Go to Tacofino for the money.
The Mark of the Beast
I am always looking for great Mexican! For some reason I didn t have high hopes for this place but was pleasantly surprised. Delicious and FULL quesadilla and very flavourful guac (and chips). It was a little spicier than anticipated but it was great! 10/10 will order again.
This is such a hidden gem in the western communities. I almost don t want to give a review as I don t want to let the secret out! Huge portions of ULTRA fresh, colourful food! The flavours are out of this world! For a true taste of Mexican cousins you NEED to check this place out! Arrive early as those of us in the know are aware that at prime time there s lineups out the door. Service is top notch and everyone welcomes you!
Delicious mexican food, fast service and great choice of freshly prepared quality food. Definitely would recommend and will be going again.
My family and I have been coming since they have opened way back when. Always very warm and welcoming, quick and delicious every time! My favourite comfort meal
Always the best. Great food...
Great Mexican food.
I got the burrito bowl with shredded chicken. It was more like a taco salad though because it had a lot of iceberg lettuce and tortilla chips on top. The shredded chicken was so salty, dry and I kept thinking of when I open my cats tin food as I was tasting it. I don t know my friend thought the same! It was underwhelming for sure but it was under $20 ($16) which is shocking these days.
Awesome food. Great service. Good prices and very friendly staff. Super awesome place for lunch. Fills you up just right.
I don t get takeout often, so it s quite disappointing when I decide to treat myself and the food ends up being this bland. The meat was dry and under seasoned, the chipotle salad dressing tasted just like plain mayo, and the taquitos tasted like they were fried in dirty oil. Also they forgot the guacamole that I paid extra for. I don t want to be rude but I would rather just buy a taco kit from the grocery store next time.
I hate giving this place a bad review because the food itself was actually pretty tasty, but as soon as you walk in the tacky, colorful decor and general lack of cleanliness of the place just jumps out at you. I ordered a pulled pork burrito and a ground beef taco. Both tasted delicious so they definitely know how to season their meat, but at $16 for one of the smallest burritos Ive ever had and $7 for a standard taco respectively, both were grossly overpriced for the size. The staff was friendly and the service was lightning quick. As a huge fan of Mexican food, I cant help but feel greatly disappointed.
I have no idea how I waited this long to write a review since this is my favourite restaurant in all of Langford, and probably Victoria. My boyfriend and I order from Three Gringos religiously. The food is always fresh and tastes amazing. The staff is very friendly and always smiling, even when there s a line up out the door.
I guess it should have been obvious from the name, but dont expect anything even resembling authentic Mexican food from this place. There are two options for the tacos, hard shell or wrapped up like strange mini burritos. The seasoning of the meat was fine but topping and hot sauce were underwhelming and very american (shredded cheddar and lettuce).
Quick trip to Mexico for lunch. Food is consistently great! Atmosphere is like being transported to Mexico.
Food is amazing, the servers are great, it is really small with limited seating if youre looking to dine in.
Friendly Parking: Depends on time of day Food : 4/5 |
Dietary restrictions: Simply fantastic .
Customer service was good, nice people! I got the avocado chicken salad and it was really good but the best part was definitely the water. The water they had paired perfectly with the salad and was refreshing. I have never tasted water this good. omg i miss it already as I m drinking my disgusting fridge water. Very good water.
Amazing food. Never disappointed.
I had ordered 2 fish tacos but upon opening my take-out container, a silverfish crawled out of one of my tacos and jumped into my sisters container of tacos. I guess we werent specific enough with what kind of fish tacos we wanted. Im sure they wouldve been delicious but I just couldnt
Always the best! Dependable solid, veggie wrap. The service is always so friendly.
Awesome friendly staff and the best Mexican food in Victoria area. Awesome as usual!
Great staff and the food is always amazing
OMG we love everyone and everything here. We have been going here for five or six years and it only gets better each visit. The staff knows your order says hi when you arrive and see you soon, thanks for coming in when you leave. The food is fresh and healthy and ooooh so good! Cant wait for summer days on their deck.
Thank you Emily!! You were so patient and helpful with our first experience here, (10/10 recommendations by the way). You were polite, enthusiastic, and most importantly - you were so compassionate and turned my awful day into something I will positively remember! We will be back! Emily you rock!
Got the veggie burrito, and it was yummy! The service was also great... Thank you very much!
Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. The food (which they recommended) was delicious, and the price was not too high. Couldn t be happier! I ll be back! I did takeout, but they have about 10ish tables for 2-6 people for eat-in. Most were full when I went (3pm on a Saturday), but a few were available.
Ok so definitely is not authentic mexican food as you can guess by the name. Still the food is very tasty, the service is great and the atmosphere makes it feel like you are in a real fondita. Loved it. Food
The chimichaga is the best
Nachos were fantastic! Delightful virgin margaita.
Food was very tasty. Prices were very reasonable.
Great place to eat.
Nothing wrong but nothing great. Was just okay. Double check to ensure required cutlery is in the bag.
Counter ordering, wooden tables and chairs, a few tables outside also. I had a burito and it was not bad but not the best that i have had. Parking: 2 hour parking
Love this place! Best tacos in Langford! Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu! Recommended dishes Taquitos 4 Pcs
Wow, I didnt think they were going to pass the test but... the fish tacos are very good and the chimichanga was something exquisite to try... I felt strange why there were only weritas serving and in the kitchen and I prayed if they It was... in service if only what Mexico lacked was better service by serving you at your table and not stopping to ask for your order but from then on everything was very good
Staff were friendly. My fish taco was good but it was drenched in chipotle sauce so much that it made it wet. The sauce also drowned out any other flavour in the dish so much that I didn t finish my second one. Go easier on the sauce or even get rid of it all together and it would be really good!
Exactly what your going for, Mexican food Vibes a 10, friendly service
Excellent food, very nice people
Great food and friendly staff, but the star of the place are the CHURROS! OMG. SO. YUMMY. Crunchy outside and oh-so-soft inside. Also props for all the takeout materials for being compostable. FANTASTIC!
Great mexican food
I ate here for lunch and had the Avocado Chicken salad was very fresh and delicious and ample! I recommend this place for a great lunch spot.
The burrito was too dry...it is more like a takeout restaurant. Limited sitting area and mostly self service. They do have a simple kids menu.
I love mexican food so much. And I spend my days traveling and just trying mexican food. This place was excellent. I had 3 crispy tacos, with rice and beans. As well as chips and salsa. And my traveling companion had the quesadilla. Which she also loved. They also had a good selection of Cholula hot sauces. Totally gave me Northern Mexican vibes. Will hopefully be back.
Had a pork burrito bowl and it was pretty fantastic. The meat was authentic and super tender and the veggies were fresh and crisp. Looking forward to trying more.
I am in a food coma but I couldnt stop eating....it was so good !!!!!
I ordered take out and was told thirty minutes for pickup. I arrived five minutes early and there were two couples ahead of me in line. I noticed a take out bag sitting in the shelf and hoped it wasn t my order. It took ten minutes for the two couples ahead of me to place their orders. And, yup, that was my order getting stone cold on the shelf. The last time I ordered take out, about three weeks ago, my order wasn t ready so I said I would wait outside. I waited for five minutes but no one come out. I finally went in and my order was sitting on that same shelf and it was cold! Grrrr! You can do better, Gringos!
The best authentic Mexican food near me.
Ordered the chicken chimichanga - delicious, flavor town enchilada sauce. Staff was super nice and helpful
Ordered the pork tinga burrito to go. Was mostly beans. I m not even sure there was any meat. Felt empty I really think maybe they just forgot the meat. Are there a couple years ago and enjoyed it. If it wasn t for that experience and that they probably just forgot the meat by accident I d give it a 1. I would have said something after a few bites but I was long gone.
Amazing food. Amazing staff. Great prices. Hands down best Mexican food in town. Try the chimichanga and the Mexi spuds!!! And of course the margaritas.
Fantastic food. Fresh and healthy. Super fast. Highly recommended! Love the colourful atmosphere.
Cool place with a great vibe and pretty good food!
We ordered wraps for pickup and the wraps were cold and the corn inside was rotten. So so gross.
Best restaurant for Mexican food. Vegetarian options: Many veg options. We had Nachos. Food : 5/5 |
A perfectly adequate taqueria, the food was well prepared and tasty. You dont go for the atmosphere or the service (which is order at the counter). They ran out of ice for drinks. They arent open late, at least not on a Tuesday. The food is reasonably priced. There is ample parking. All guests in my party enjoyed the visit.
Im not young and Id say those were the best nachos I can remember eating. Dang they are huge. House made Chips and salsa were so well seasoned I was pumped. Friendly and I felt like a great value. Kids meal was so cheap and good.
Best Tacos Ive ever actually had.
Sorry! No Food was so perfect!!! Update 2nd visit: awesome
If I asked my 4 year old, blind nephew to make me a quesadilla using only ingredients from Dollar Tree, he would still make me a better quesadilla. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your restaurant
Good food, great service
This is the second time that I have enjoyed Three Gringos Mexican Grill and both times it has been a great experience. I ve ordered the veggie burrito bowl with avocado and hot sauce on the side. The serving is generous and includes rice, black beans, cheese, sautéed red peppers and mushrooms, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, green onion, lettuce, sour cream, and chipotle. Next time I ll try the fish tacos as that is also one of my favourites. The vibe is a funky Mexican café, the staff are friendly and efficient, and the prices are great value for the money. They do a lot of take out, but I always dine in. My only very minor quibble is that I appreciate it when the staff check with you a couple of minutes after they serve to see if everything is all right or if you need anything else. Even around 3:45 when I arrived, they were very busy and it kept up, despite being early for any dinner traffic. For this reason I forgive them for not checking up on me. I d recommend them to anyone who wants great Mexican food in a relaxed atmosphere. I will be back the next time I m in the area.
Amazing..so fresh and delicous Clean covid friendly
Delicious!! Visited for the first time today and will definitely be back! Mexican wrap w/ beef and Chipotle was so good.
I have to say the chimichangas are to die for and nobody make guacamole this amazing.
Delicious food every time I come here!
Ordered online, the chimichanga, contained 90% beans, the chiken Buritto bowl consisted of 90% rice and beans, the chicken Enchilada was sparse and put together badly. If I was a vegetarian I may have enjoyed my tasteless meal. Quality control is lacking.. Very disappointed
I order takeout and its always excellent quality. Especially the fish tacos!!
Nice food!
Always a treat to order from here. Consistent and fresh food.
The Nachos are the best in TOWN :)
I never miss an opportunity to stop in for lunch when Im out in Langford. Fresh made wonderful food, great, clean flavor.
I order from them all the time and have never had anything but outstanding food. Food so fresh it would slap your face...and I cant get it in my face fast enough... Their Taquitos are legendary! You ladies rock! 3 Gringos is the word!! Ya heard?
Overall, okay. Chicken and pork was shredded to such a degree that there was little texture left. I actually found it hard to differentiate between the pork and the chicken. Meat was lukewarm and the lettuce was frozen. Would be nice to see simple flank steak tacos with fresh pico de gallo. Hot sauce selection was great.
Food portion and taste was great! Pleasantly surprised! Small area for dine-in.
Delicious good, good service.
I dont know if the burritos are authentic but they are damned good :-) with a mix of smokey, sweet barbecue flavours and a nice warm spiciness balancing things out, and more heat on the side for those of us that like it hot!
Tasty, plenty of options, and the staff are fantastic. Cinco de Mayo was mad, but they were on the ball and I was fed before my bus came. Great!
Fantastic, fresh food and excellent service with large portion sizes. Will definitely be back!
Good place with good food. They need to improve on seating area as it wasn t clean. Otherwise very cheap if you go on Tuesday and portios are good enough.
Great place great food great service Tuesday must
Today I came here for the first time with my fiancé it was late in the afternoon I ve never been to this place before so I didn t know if it was dine in or take away only. I came in was immediately greeted by the hostess cashier she was friendly. The menu is not a complex Mexican traditional menu; it is western style: that being said the menu options are awesome and the prices are fantastic. I had the taquitos with chicken and they were excellent the portions are very large everything tasted fresh, my salad was amazing! I highly recommend the cilantro vinaigrette dressing it was excellent. The presentation and Decour of the place is authentic it makes you feel like you re in Mexico; my fiancé was really impressed with her meal as well the salsa was good the guacamole was good, everything was very enjoyable and I can t wait to come back to try the other popular items the chicken avocado salad sounds fantastic! Highly recommended this place. Summer will be great sit out front and have a margarita! A++
10/10 Absolutely love this place! The food is so fresh and delicious every time. Taco salad is my favourite. Staff are super friendly and good at their jobs. All around awesome. Thank you guys for the wonderful eats :)
Real nice and flavourful food they serve over there. One of the best mexican places in Victoria.
Burritos are delicious, but churros are unreal
Fast , delicious and cool atmosphere. This is the place to go for some Mexican food in westshore!
Not extremely impressed. Cold burritos, lacking flavour and mostly filled with retried beans and hot sauce. Would not recommend
Service was efficient and friendly. Food was good, yet short of what I d call authentic Mexican.
Just had linch there for the first time. A wrap with pork tinga with a side of chips and salsa. Decided to enjoy the sun and sit outside, was followed out with my side! Wrap came out very quickly and i enjoyed every bite! Grilled to perfection, everything tasted really fresh. Everyone had great things to say as they were leaving. 100% will be back!!
Such great food! Good portion sizes, amazing taste.. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! 10/10
Great Mexican food, a must visit place. Had the taco salad and love that it s in a tortilla bow.
Great little place! Food is great! Staff is amazing! Never a disappointment !
Food was great and served quickly. One thing though is they need to be transparent on their prices. An item I ordered said clearly on the board and their paper menus what was included in the price, but when I paid for it I was surcharged extra for something clearly included to the posted price. I wonder how many items on the menu people are being surcharged and not being informed. Not good business practice.
We ordered take out from them this evening and it was delicious. I highly recommend the taquitos and the tacos are very generous in size. The service was fast and very friendly :)
Love the rice and beans bowl!!!! The chips are so rich.. the guac amazing. Definitely will be back
Fantastic friendly service, food is fresh and delicious. The mexi spuds are my favourite fast food item anywhere. The servings are also large enough to have some left overs for a snack later.
Make it a regular!! service is top notch and food is awesome!!
Ordered two soft tacos and a Chimichanga. The tacos arrived 5 min after the Chimichanga. The tacos were cold, we returned them and they brought them back 5 min later still cold. After returning the tacos I was given a Sorry, we could try to heat it up again, I said no thanks. They did not offer a refund. The management and staff have been going downhill the last 3 years. An apology from management does little to get me back.
Very colorful little restaurant with a few outdoor tables. Menu has a bit of everything and it holds an alcohol license. I had the fish tacos which were pretty good. The meat tacos are bigger and rolled low burritos, so I wouldnt recommend getting more than two (unless youre really hungry). Staff is very nice and prompt, and the food will fill you up nicely! Parking: Lots of parking!
Amazing fresh food. Quick service. Veggie options were great.
Always so delicious! The Apple Pie Chimichanga for dessert is a MUST! Fish tacos are also amazing! Yummy!
very tex-mex... seating area could use improvement. However friendly service.
Fantastic food and service, decent prices
Food is awesome!!
Burrito and chips are very good. The taquitosI got were just ok. I would defiantly recommend the burrito!
Great Mexican. The best in town!
Great food always
Hands down some of the best Mexican eats anywhere, including in Mexico. Wow
Huge portions and satisfying
Best Tex Mex food in town. My favorite are their churro chips.
Service by male cashier was super nice. Good food. We will be back.
One of the best Mexican restaurants in Victoria
Great food and staff! I always bring friends and family here :)
The food was fresh but the payment machine only showed a tip as % . They dont bring you the food. The explanation of the bowl I ordered didnt make me really understand what I was getting. I based my choice on other bowls Ive had in the tortilla shell. This was not that. It was good and was served with chips so it ended up being more of a dip/ stew, soup ? That I scooped or put on the chips to eat. I enjoyed it but was confused.
Always delicious!!
Delicious food, good portions, friendly staff.
Great food and service
While service was friendly, the food wasnt good. Tacos were bland, short on fresh, flavourful salsa and cilantro, and the cheese had the taste and texture of something out of a bag. Skip this one.
Until today, I had only ordered the jalapeno poppers (which are amazing), but I wanted something a bit more and ordered some nacho and a chicken enchilada. Extremely underwhelmed. The nachos had barely any cheese, the enchilada was dry and overly salty, and they didnt put the top on my salad dressing which was in the box with the enchilada so it went everywhere. Given the place does not actually provide service beyond pressing buttons on a machine, the immediate pop up of adding a tip is a bit annoying. I always tip on take out and tipped 15% today only to receive poor meals and such a minimal effort that the lid wasnt on correctly to prevent spillage. I will stick to the poppers only in the future.
I always order 3 gringos on skip the dishes and the food is always amazing. I love anything that has the shredded chicken! I ordered the burrito bowl for the first time today and Ill go as far to say that this is the best burrito bowl in town. I wish they had longer hours so I could also go after work!
Amazing place. Super friendly staff. Food is amazing especially fish taco. Will definitely come back.
Best Mexican food I ve had in Victoria. Do yourself a favour and order the pork enchilada. The beef was excellent too, but the pork was my favourite. I ll be back for more take-out!
Absolutely love this local family run restaurant. Great staff, delicious food and the price is right! Definitely check this place out. My favorites are the California Wrap and the churro chips.
All Ive had here, so far, is the breakfast burrito - look forward to trying other items as well.
Just had their veggie wrap. It was very good... friendly, polite staff and timely service.
Awesome food, staff was very nice. They were even happy to take our order, with 2 minutes to closing. We will be back for sure!
Really good food, great friendly staff, reasonable prices. I was a bit worried how they would do with Azteca opening around the corner but they are no competition for 3 Gringos. Everything Ive eaten here has been amazing.
Excellent fish tacos!
Great spot and food
The service was great and the food was even better! We are very picky when it comes to Mexican restaurants and this one was a winner for all of our family members. Thank you again for your great service and food.
Very sad that a favorite restaurant has decided to discriminate.
Always great meal and service!
Love this place, the staff and my Avocado Chicken Salad, but the last few times has been lacking consistency! Including my salad today literally half the size it usually is. Normally, you get a salad loaded with lettuce and a beautiful array of toppings nestled on top. In addition, my friends wrap was not made to order, missing any sauce entirely.
Friendly, funky, fast and Delicious!
Our first time dining at this place left me seriously impressed. Its not haute cuisine, or even 100% authentic Mexican food (they use too much cheese to be that lol!) but damn, was it tasty and well seasoned food! We had the fish tacos and the enchiladas and everything was tasty and filling. We even liked how the food was presented for in-restaurant dining. For example, with the enchilada plate, you get a side serving of four dips, which include guacamole, a hot sauce, sour cream, and some kind of cheese sauce that had lime in it. Staff is also super friendly and lots of attention to detail. Will definitely be going there again. Also, they are very rigorous on PHO orders and health protocols, which I greatly appreciated (we saw 2 people refused indoor and outside deck service because they wouldnt present a vaccine card - kudos on that).
Awesome food, you gotta try this place!
Been a customer for a long time. Food always delicious.
Awesome
I love this three gringos! This place never disappoints, best Mexican good in Victoria!
Always wonderful food! Friendly, helpful staff. Worth a visit if you havent tried their food. And worth a revisit to sample the variety of their delectable Mexican food.
I go to this place every time Im in Langford. Sooooo good. Get in my belly!!!
I been here a few times. Painting down the street. The food was phenomenal and the most beautiful woman covered in tattoos and dark hair works there. Took my breath away. 10/10 mystery lady Im your biggest fan
Hola! Came in today for a Chimichanga to bring back old memories of my yout as they always knock it out of the park, but I also got two Surprise Me Tacos of each soft and hard shell, may I just say the varieties my order taker gave me not only had me dancing in my seat but also on my feet. 11/10 will be back again.
Ive eaten here at least 15 times and it has just gone down hill. Skimping on the meat and all together just smaller portions. You simply do better at home. Sorry but not sorry just being honest.
Excellent food and service every time!
Great food, great atmosphere, my new favorite Mexican joint!
