The food here is decent! Its akin to a Chipolte or Fajita grill but with more varied and tasty toppings.
The problem is the price – the pictured burrito, as girthy as it is, cost 17 dollars. (It came with a handfull of tortilla chips and nothing to dip them in) This resturaunt suffers from the “everything beyond ground beef costs extra” business model. Some of the more eggregious items are:
+1$ extra for a tortilla (The item is listed as burrito on their menu, not burrito bowl)
+2-3$ price hike for any change in protein
+2$ dollar price hike for a scoop of guacamole
+3-4.50$ dollar price hike for extra protein
Maybe good to go once for the novelty, but if you eat here regularly you may have to take out a loan.

Tables need to be cleaned more often (all tables were yicky) used a napkin to wipe one down to sit and it was black after one wipe. It had been awhile BUT the food is WOW! Queso and chips is huge – 12 oz container filked with hot queso, 8″ x 10″ tray filled w homemade chips – a meal in itself. Everything we had was served piping hot and delicious. Unique atmosphere. Limited adult drink menu but we found something we liked.
You order food at counter then they bring your food to your table. Order alcoholic drinks at another counter, odd set up. Food is great.

I wanted mexican food and an acid bowl for dessert so this was the place to go. I got the crunch wrapped beef tacos and they were very delicious. I would not recommend getting the rice or black beans with it, as they both had no flavor. My husband got the carne asada tacos & he said they had no seasoning at all. The acai smoothie bowl was awesome as were the chips. I would recommend this place as it seemed very popular and encourage you to make your own opinions. There was a guy on their patio who played the guitar and sang who was very good. They also had a bar for your enjoyment.

So I’m so late to the party but I totally just tried wacko gringo for the first time and I am so impressed! Now I did order through DoorDash but my food was hot and fresh when it was delivered and this definitely lived up to all the hype! The build your own burrito bowl was absolutely amazing! The only thing I would have done differently was tried this way sooner! Definitely will have to dine in house next and try some of their other menu options, but over all, if you haven’t already, give them a try! I will definitely order again

The wings could have been cooked a little longer they were chewy but the sauce was really good the banana pudding was no good I had to trash it The rice had a weird taste that I cant describe and was dry Now the Tacos I would definitely recommend no complaints with that at all The churros I would give another try The Birria baked potato was amazing the only thing It need some sort of sauce it was beyond dry and the potatoes could have been cooked a little longer but all the flavors went well together I would definitely try that again Overall I would definitely recommend this spot

Cool little play with the best tacos I’ve had in NY. Just happened to be working down the street and need a quick lunch. Got it to go but sat on the deck.
Totally worth the money (honestly was totally reasonable for the amount of shredded steak in my taco)
Just go! Make sure you grab enough napkins or a towel lol
Sign on the door said live music tonight (Friday).
Deck is super nice. Staff was super friendly. Give you a plus one for the free water!

We biked to this place and were really excited to try the food as the reviews were great. We were pretty disappointed as my Thai tacos had undercooked rice throughout both of the tacos. Rice is not a hard thing to get right. The food was okay at best, nothing to write home about. The drinks were pricey and also mediocre. The live music and outdoor seating were our favorite part.

Came here on my lunch break and ordered 3 quesabirria tacos, chips and their spicy queso all online through their website. Definitely would call the food here more of a “guilty pleasure”.
Showed up at the given estimated time and only had to wait a couple of minutes for my order to be ready.
The chips were as you’d expect, lightly seasoned. Nothing to write home about. The spicy queso was perfect, not too hot and thick and creamy.
The tacos were cooked to perfection. Crispy tortilla, melty cheese and tender beef and the consomme was also a nice addition.
I’ll have to try their acai bowl next time.
The only downside in my opinion is the pricing. If you are on a tight budget, there are more affordable options to choose from in Oswego. Albeit, not as unique or delicious.
Update #2. They appeared to have a more limited selection this week due to supply issues.
Again I ordered their chips and spicy queso. The queso did feel a bit spicier / hotter than the previous time I tried it. Not detrimentally so, but was a surprise. I like spicy foods.
This time I did have their OG Gringo Acai bowl to provide a nice fresh and cool chaser to their spicy queso.
Personally I have never had an Acai bowl before, but the fruit all tasted very fresh. The portion itself did feel like a little more than I expected, but for the price it was good. I could probably make two lunches out of the one Acai bowl unless this is just a normal portion for this type of food. Not sure.
Update #3 as I tried their new Sunday breakfast menu.
I ordered one of each of their breakfast tacos on the menu, and also tried the chorizo breakfast Omelette.
The tacos were absolutely delicious. My friend tried the birria & chorizo taco, and I tried the potato & chorizo taco.
The omelette was quite the wakeup call as well with a good amount of heat / spice for an omelette.

We had the QuesoBirra tacos and the Pollo Asado Taco.
Laying my eyes upon the QuesoBirra I knew this was the beginning of a new core memory in my life.
It smelled of pure joy, and the look of these tacos, was devine. It was as if Gordan Ramsey incarnate came down and placed these morsels of Joy in front of us.
The taste of both of these tacos is almost undefineable. We both had to take a moment after taking and recompose our self as our taste buds hit an all time high. The love and care of these cooks was on full display!
There is no other taco place in Oswego, there is only Wacko Gringo. I was skeptical about this place originally, but it is easily my favorite now. Plus the people working there are wonderful, kind and detail how they cook their food.

Best tacos I’ve ever had. Boom boom shrimp tacos are outstanding, my husband loves the basic tacos and they have the best queso and chips sauce. We go here once a week. I want to try other menus items, but I don’t want to miss out on my boom boom shrimp taco, so we may need to start ordering extra meals to try other dishes!
