Through out our journey in South East Asia, we've been somewhat tracking down mexican restaurants.. And Gringo comes at a close 1. place of bad mexican dineries..

stopped in for lunch as we fancied mexican, the portions were large, excellent quality and reasonable prices. Then we saw the breakfast being eaten on the adjacent table so had to come back the next day (and every remaining day) for it. The english breakfast was what is very hard to track down in Asia. It was just the real... More
