About Los Gringos Locos

As someone introducing Los Gringos Locos Restaurant, I usually start by saying this is the kind of Mexican restaurant you stumble into once and then keep thinking about later. Los Gringos Locos sits at 280 S Phelps Dr, Apache Junction, AZ 85120, and it fits right into the local scene while still feeling like a fun little escape for anyone craving bold Mexican flavors. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, the kind of place where you can show up hungry and not feel rushed, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a longer meal. I like how flexible the service options are too, because you can choose outdoor seating when the Arizona weather cooperates, or keep things simple with takeaway, kerbside pickup, or delivery when you’d rather eat at home. Inside, the menu leans heavily into comfort food, but it doesn’t stop there, since you’ll also find healthy options and vegetarian choices mixed in naturally rather than feeling like an afterthought. Drinks are a big part of the experience here, especially if you enjoy beer, cocktails, wine, or spirits, and the happy-hour drinks and happy-hour food make it an easy spot to unwind after a long day. Coffee is available as well, which is a nice touch if you’re dropping by earlier or just want something non-alcoholic. The small plates are great for sharing, while the quick bite options work well if you’re short on time but still want something satisfying. Overall, Los Gringos Locos comes across as confident in what it offers, blending casual dining with a lively Mexican restaurant atmosphere that feels approachable, flavorful, and very much rooted in the Apache Junction community.

This is my favorite restaurant in Apache Junction. The people are amazing even the other customers. They give great customer service.The manager on duty actually jumped in the dumpster too help another customer, find a lost item, he had to change his clothes. They are amazing. And the food is amazing.The fajita chicken salad, amazing, and there is a fajita quesadilla that once you order.That's all you will want.

I've been to Apache Junction on multiple different occasions but this was the first time I had the pleasure of trying Los Gringos Locos. While staying at the Motel Six down the road my fiance asked the lady at the counter where she'd recommend to go for good Mexican Cuisine. She immediately suggested Los Gingos Locos. So to the restaurant we went! And what a wonderful choice it was indeed! The food and service were very good. Immediately got seated and had a great time looking at the wall art. I will say that out of the food we had the pork burrito thingy was simple incredible!! I would drive all the way back to Arizona just to have that again! Next time we're in AZ we'll certainly be popping in again!
