GRINGO
MEXICANO

“La comida más mejor que tu abuela cocinar”* *Yes, that’s grammatically wrong. So is the whole concept. Our Spanish is about as authentic as our queso, and we’re working on both.

Questions

Mostly asked by my family.

Are you Mexican?

Not even slightly. I am the whitest man in Wake County and I own a smoker.

Is this authentic?

It’s Tex-Mex, which is an entire cuisine built by people improvising with whatever they had on hand. We are honoring that tradition by having almost nothing on hand.

Who taught you to cook this?

YouTube, and a woman named Rosa who worked at a restaurant I went to too often. Rosa, if you’re reading this, you were right about the lard.

When does the truck open?

Excellent question.

Can I book you for an event?

No. There is no truck. Please re-read the previous answer.

Why does this website exist, then?

I bought the domain and it felt wasteful to leave it empty.
