Lunch in a Box by Gringo Chicken, Ribs, and Friends

There's a new kid on the block...

Gringo Chicken, Ribs, and Friends opens its very first branch at The Block in SM North Edsa, with one more at Bonifacio Global City soon in the pipeline. A special box with Gringo's signature dishes delivered just in time for lunch offered a tasty preview of Gringo's Mexican and Latin-style cuisine...

Owned and managed by the same group behind Tokyo Bubble Tea, Honeybon Pastry Shop, and Tuscano Italian Kitchen, Gringo Chicken, Ribs, and Friends offers their own refreshing take on Mexican cuisine with its signature grilled chicken specialties and ribs, infused with Latin American notes. And I got to sample their grilled dishes, delivered in a box.

Inside the huge box, I find three more, each one containing Gringo's signature dishes like Gringo's Original Chicken, the Southern Spice Chicken, and the Baby Back Ribs, paired with garlic rice, nachos, and mushrooms with their specialty sauces.

The Southern Spice Chicken, grilled with a perfectly charred outer layer, is tender and juicy, with the subtle and delicate notes of the chicken punctuated by the complex blend of Latin-style spices. A whisper of soothing heat and smoky notes come with each bite of the tender chicken, pairing well with the signature sauces. With chicken this good, you'll probably want some extra sauce. And extra rice too.

Gringo's Original Chicken, rubbed with Mexican spices, delivered equally bold and pronounced flavors, capped by a smoky hint with each bite of the tender and juicy chicken. Gringo's grilled chicken is perfectly juicy, and not dry at all like the usual grilled chicken. Ditch the knife and fork, and dive right in with your hands...

Gringo's Baby Back Ribs, tender and fall-off-the-bone ribs with a sweet and smoky glaze, is another tasty option at the newest kid on the block. The mild sweetness of the juicy pork pairs well with the sweet Mexican-style barbecue glaze for a unique and comforting taste from down south of the border. Check out the newest kid on The Block at SM North Edsa with its refreshing take on Mexican cuisine...at Gringo Chicken, Ribs, and Friends.
