El Gringo Manhattan - Manhattan Beach

Take--Out ONLY, although Google says Open! Lunch came... no luck. Closed door. No sign Just out. It didn't feel like eating it in the car, nor with customers from 31-Ice Cream. Disappoint. Bill needs feedback.

Absolutely fantastic food! The tacos are practically mini-burritos, they're so generously filled. I tried the Carne Asada and Carnitas and they were delicious. The portions of rice and beans were super generous, and I also enjoyed a large Sangria. This place is definitely worth a visit! The only downside is that it seemed understaffed during my visit. Also, it’s a bit tricky to eat rice and beans on a bench without a fork... lol.

I had countless breakfast Burritos in my life and I think that's the best I ever had. $15 is the most expensive breakfast Burrito I had, but it is also about 2X larger than most. Loading with potatoes, eggs and Carne Asada. The first time I couldn't finish a whole thing in a session, it could really feed two people. Also comes with large house made chips and salsa.

As for the owner’s response, they mentioned that there were problems from our arrival, during ordering, and now with my review. They said they accepted my promise never to return to their business. I don't understand what they are referring to. I was satisfied and followed their meat selection, but when I wanted to change my order, I was told no. That doesn’t make sense; at other places, you can adjust your order to find what you like. There was no tip because there was nowhere to sit, and unless they have some special protocol for dealing with customers like me, they'll need to learn how to take criticism regarding their food. Just a shout-out to Baskin Robbins for allowing customers to sit at their tables!

LOVE the food! Always cooked perfectly! Staff is cool ? July 20 2021 Take out only. So delish!
