Last Saturday night we went to The Crazy Gringo (http://www.thecrazygringo.com/index.html) at Weirs Beach and had an excellent time and fantastic food. :liplick: Our vegetarian was very happy with her build your own burrito. I had the best Chimichanga that I have ever had in my life. I opted for shredded chicken, mushrooms and spinach. The rice was very flavorful and quite moist. (Warning for the vegetarians out there - it is made with chicken stock. Our waitress realized Kayla was a vegetarian and told her about the chicken broth.) The others had build your own burritos and chimichangas too and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Our waitress was very personable and prompt. Before the sodas were empty, a new one was brought right over. (Free refills.) We will definitely go back to The Crazy Gringo. (http://www.thecrazygringo.com/index.html) It was much better than any chain Mexican restaurant we have been to. I hope you will give The Crazy Gringo (http://www.thecrazygringo.com/index.html)a try and will have the same great experience too!

Finally, a Crazy Gringo thread. Way overdue!
I was turned onto this place by a good friend 4 years back. The funny thing is, if not for him, I would have never even considered going in. Just a stereotype, I guess. It really is a biker bar.
You see all the bikes lined up, and the way the folks having a but (smoking) out front are dressed....and if it is not your style, you'd think..."no way". But you'd be very wrong! Yes, they are for sure, hard core bikers, but the place and people are great. There certainly are cliques at the bar, but no biggie.
When the bar is full, we always grab one of the high tops located right were you walk in....you always get a friendly greeting. And there is nothing in the world like their margarita, served in a mason jar, when coming in out of the sun, after a day of boating.
Before heading thru the channel, I always pull the boat into the Weirs, and head up for a drink and a snack. The free chips and salsa are unreal (largest chips you'll see). Lately, we've been getting the Southwestern Eggroll, on the recommendation of the waitress Jasmine.
And on that note, she too is fantastic. I've been going for 4 years or so, and I'm sure she has a ton of regulars, but somehow, each spring, on my first visit, she'll give me smile and say ..."Margarita, rocks, salt...right?"....Of course, the memory probably comes from the fact that at times, friends and I have made a bit of an impression...but it's all good.
If you are a fan of "chain Mexican", Chilis and such..go to this place, and the food will blow you away.
And if you enjoy a few drinks...same deal. Give it a bid.

We love the Gringo.
We were there on the first Saturday of Bike Week. It was packed.

You have to try the Steak Grande Burito, it is the biggest thing you have ever seen. I always say they should give it to you free if you eat the whole thing, it is that big. It is great tasting also. I get it all the time when I go there. It is not just a biker bar, it is a locals bar as well, some of the locals just happen to ride bikes and there are always new faces in there all the time, mostly people on vacation. A lot of weekend regulars as well.

We were there weekened of 6/27/09. It was packed, as usualy, but the food is always fresh and really good. Much better than the place in Laconia, which seems to cover everything in melted cheese and never use fresh cilantro.

I have many friends who frequent the Gringo and when I'm down at the Weirs I can usually pop in and see them. The bartenders are usually quick and friendly and sometimes there is live music. I was able to frequent the Gringo on the Snowmobile many times this past winter. Come to think of it I'm way overdue for a visit to the Gringo. Any of you facebook folks out there check out the "Crazy Gringo" fan-page.

Do they still do half price lunches on weekdays?
