"My wife and I had dinner. We had two different enchilada features. The food was bland. This is our third time at the restaurant over a couple years. We've had the same experience each time. It's very expensive for Mexican food. $56 (pre-tip) for two meals and two marguerites. Service was terrific and it's a very nice facility. After three tries we give up - won't go by!"

"Wonderful flavors. Everything we've tried here has been great, but my favorites are the tacos de pollo and the Patron margaritas with fresh lime juice. They have ruined me for any other margaritas anywhere else... Delicious!!"

"The food was tasty and fresh, but our service was very slow, especially for a moderately busy Saturday evening. The server acted confused when we asked him about their tequila list (which the menu recommended for us to check out). After the 2nd inquiry about it he finally was able to produce it, and of course he suggested the most expensive one as his favorite. In summary, the meal was good, service needs inmprovement."

"Overall was good. Service could be better. We ordered sangria pitchers which came out with no fruit. At the end of our dinner, we asked why they don't put fruit in their sangrias. Server said the bar is out of fruit tonight. How could you be out of fruit when a krogers is next door? Food was great. Asked for no onions and got a plate full. Quickly fixed tho. Ambiance was great! Quiet and nicely lit. Always love their freshly made guacamole! Yum! I would recommend this to others. Patio at lunch is always perfect!"

"The food was outstanding and service was unbelievable. The waitresses were very personable. Visiting from out of town and used open table to find a local mexican restaurant. There was large party in a room close by singing, but it did not bother our dining experience. Try the blood orange sangria, excellent."

"This was our second time at this restaurant, and we remembered having better food the first time. Portions this time were very small, and the "extras" such as rice or veggies were sparse. We do love the guacamole they make at the table, but that alone does not warrant a special visit."

"Manager walked over to every table except ours. We felt ignored. Price was very high for such poor service. Waiter was not a good listener. After ordering an appetizer 15 min later waiter came back and asked if we wanted any appetizers. Had to ask for lemons for my water repeatedly and I would get 2 little slivers not even a wedge of a lemon. This place is a joke."

"We have been to this restaurant a number of times and always had a good experience. This time was different. It took forever to even get a glass of water even after several bowls of chips and ordering the guacamole. We were also not given eating utensils or napkins. Service was poor. The food was just okay. We didn't receive our sour cream until about 15 min after food brought out so it was cold when we finally got to eat it. Usually the food and service is better."

"The restaurant was VERY noisy and difficult to have a conversation. I also thought the drinks were very expensive and the house margarita wasn't even very good."

"While it is pricey for a mexican restaurant (I paid $34 for myself: dinner, guac for an app, a margarita and a corona light). The ambiance and service definitely made up for it. I'm excited to go back for ladies night: half-priced margaritas on Thursdays!"

"Our second time having dinner here. My wife is not a fan of Mexican/Tex-Mex food. She really enjoyed both meals here, which says a lot!Loved my meal both times as well. Great enchiladas!"

"Food was great! Tag team with servers worked very well - when we needed something, someone was always available to assist. Only downside to experience is that it was very loud. We sat in the separate room that looked like it could be open air on a nice day - but was hard to hold a conversation. Guac was very good, but could have used a little more spice. And wish they had a hotter salsa for the chips. Overall though, very good experience and can't wait to go back!"

"Cantina Laredo is always nice, especially sitting on the patio. Salsas and guacamole and queso are all wonderful. Every guest loved their food and we always have a vegan with us and they accommodate. Our vegan gets grilled veggie fajitas and they have delicious black beans made without animal products. Vegetarians have a number of choices. Also the cocktail list is quite good. The Cinco Rita is our favorite and the mango ginger Rita is loved by ginger fans. Indoor dining can get quite loud on weekend nights but the patio is always great. Our young adults love to go and pair it with a visit to Star Lanes (bowling and arcade) right across the parking lot."

"My family wanted to do something different for Easter brunch, so what better than Mexican food? We had a party of 6, none of which had dined here before. All 6 of us enjoyed the delicious guacamole made fresh at the table, some house margaritas, and our tasty meals. The meal is not giant like at some places, however coupled with the chips and guac/salsa we all left feeling full and satisfied. It was a very good first experience and I can't wait to go back. Bonus: Mimosa or Bloody Mary is included in your meal price for brunch items!"

"Favorite Mexican restaurant in Columbus area. It's pretty pricey for Mexican food. But you get what you pay for. The chef walks around greeting tables. The food is amazing. Their fresh cold & warm salsa's are yummy. Drinks are very tasty. Table side guacomole is a most."

"If you're expecting run-of-the-mill Mexican food like so many of the restaurants around Columbus have, don't go. This restaurant is a cut above, from the ambiance to the salsas to the entrees and desserts - and of course, the margaritas. The food is very similar to that we've found in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area, and that's a compliment because we love the authentic Mexican food there. The management and wait staff are fantastic, too. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus, and definitely my favorite outside of the high-end steak houses."

"Food was great- possibly best Mexican chain in Columbus. Good value, and drinks are not watered down! Noise is the only negative, almost too loud to easily talk to others at the table."

"Too noisy for conversation. Floor was uneven so one in our party had a "rocking" chair even after switching it twice (herself). The lighting is not consistent so some had bright light and some were in the dark & couldn't even read their menu. Food and service were very good - all in our party were satisfied."

"Our appetizer was excellent - the nachos. Definitely recommend them. My wife ordered fish tacos which were also excellent. I ordered the fajitas, wish I could say they were excellent, but they weren't. We eat at Cantino Laredo 2 to 3 times a month since they opened. I order the fajitas often and these were by far the worst I ever had there. Chicken was dried out, looked like they just threw everything on the skillet. I should have sent it back. Rare to have a miss at this restaurant."

"Cantina Laredo was good, not great. Prices are a bit outrageous for the food/food quality. If you are in the Polaris area, definitely visit this restaurant as it is much better than some of the other chain options."

"The hostesses and our waitress, demonstrated incredible professionalism and hospitality. The place was pretty packed and you could tell a few of the patrons were getting mouthy..the hostesses maintained a friendly demeanor and did their best to accommodate. Our waitress pretty much saved my wife from ordering a dish with mole sauce..by bringing out a sample for her to taste..all in all a great experience and great food..will be coming back with friends.."

"Cantina Laredo was excellent. We dined there for Valentine's day and it was perfect for a special evening out. The food servings were large and the prices reasonable for the quantity and quality of food. Nice atmosphere, good service and delicious food."
