Gringo A Go Go, the Mexican restaurant at 100 N. Person St. in downtown Raleigh, is preparing to open a second location in the Wade Park area near the Lenovo Center. Owner Fredy Alvarez shared the expansion news with the Triangle Business Journal, which reported the development in an Instagram post.
According to this report, the new restaurant is intended to serve the growing population of young professionals and young families in the Wade Park area. The expansion would give Gringo A Go Go a second Raleigh location beyond its established downtown home, although an opening date and exact address for the new restaurant have not been confirmed in the information provided.
Gringo A Go Go’s official website describes its approach to Mexican cuisine as rooted in traditional recipes, fresh ingredients and food prepared daily. The restaurant highlights hand-pressed tortillas and house-made salsas among its offerings, giving diners a taste of the cooking that has helped establish its downtown presence.
The restaurant’s online menu features a broad selection of Mexican favorites, including shrimp tacos, fish tacos, cheese enchiladas, burritos and quesadillas. Its brunch menu adds dishes such as chilaquiles verdes, huevos con chorizo and breakfast burritos, while the drinks menu includes several margarita varieties. Vegetarian and vegan alternatives are also available, according to the restaurant’s published menu.
The planned Wade Park location would introduce the concept to a different part of Raleigh while building on its existing downtown operation. The publication identified the Lenovo Center area as the destination for the second restaurant, with the expansion aimed at serving the neighborhood’s growing residential population.
