It was a sad day for us and many in Vancouver when Gringo<\/a> announced that it would be following in the footsteps of Matchstick<\/a> and closing all of its locations back in March.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to ongoing challenges, it is with heavy hearts that Gringo Restaurants has made the difficult decision to dramatically downsize & decrease its operations,\u201d wrote the taco shop on Instagram at the time.<\/p>\n

However, the team has since shared that its Gastown location, a.k.a. the iconic Blood Alley outpost, has reopened.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo our wonderful community: Welcome back to Gringo Gastown,\u201d wrote the team. \u201cCome and say hi to your favorite people, but most importantly to the new family member!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Gringo<\/a> describes itself as a \u201cwhite-trash cantina meets all-inclusive resort\u201d and is best known for its selection of tacos, burritos, and literal buckets of booze (and no, we\u2019re not exaggerating when we say buckets).<\/p>\n

Many took to the comments of the announcement post to share how excited they were for Gringo\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

\u201cI needed some good news, hot damn,\u201d said one person on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo way, let\u2019s gooooooo \ud83d\udd25,\u201d added another.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe universe is healing,\u201d shared a third.<\/p>\n

Gringo Gastown officially reopened its doors on July 16 at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

Address:\u00a027 Blood Alley Sq., Vancouver<\/p>\n
