"I eat here often and have never had a bad experience. This is one of the more popular restaurants in the Gulch area. Definitely use the free drive up valet, parking can be difficult in the Gulch area.
The food is always spot on and the margarita's are always top notch. I always make a reservation and have never had to wait more than 2 minutes from the time I walk in the door. I love this place."

"We love Cantina Laredo!
This visit we had one of the best waiters we have
ever had. He name was Austin S and he was
exceptionally good. We also introduced our
friends to this restaurant and they really liked
it. We will be back! Hope we get Austin!"

"I haven't been to Cantina Laredo in a few years but I decided to bring my out of town guest from work here to experience a twist on Mexican food. We all had a great time getting to know each other and the food was divine. I enjoyed this restaurant once again."

"CL is one of our faves in Nashville. We often dine here when we have an event in Bridgestone. Service is incredible and the food is always top-notch. We were able to get in and dine in under an hour which is usually unheard of on event nights. Never go wrong at CL."

"I had lunch with margereta. Food is as per my test, hence It was too good. Margereta has different test , first it seemed salty than it was little bit spicy with hint of lemony taste slowly growing on your palate. I would recommend this place and would visit it again."

"My boyfriend and I took my mom and step-dad out for a night on the town. We started at Cantina Laredo, where they had never been. The food was exceptional and the service was stellar. The table-side quacamole was a fantastic start to the meal. The texture and taste was perfect. Our server was attentive but not hovering over the table, and he provided great commentary and banter with us. Once the food arrived, the conversation was minimal with the occasional "you really need to try this" comment. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and our night on the town."

"We had a party of five and arrived very early in the evening because we had tickets to a 7:30 concert at the Arena. We were served promptly and were on our way in plenty of time. The house margaritas were just okay, but the salsas and guacamole were very good. I was disappointed in the mahi mahi taco entree, mediocre at best. Although the ingredients seemed fresh, there was very little flavor even with the accompanying sauce. The enchiladas, however, were very much enjoyed by my dining companions."

"As someone with severe dietary limitations, it can be very difficult to find places to eat out. I've been to Cantina Laredo several times and they always go above and beyong to accomodate me. Even though I almost always have to special order, they have never made any mistakes on my food. The staff is friendly and courteous. I would recommend this place for anyone who enjoys gourmet mexican food."

"I have been to Cantina Laredo on several occasion's. Every time has been better than the next.I have never had to wait when walking through the door with a reservation and we have always been shown directly to our seats. The wait staff is top notch. This last trip was a special dinner for my Birthday. I just happened to have received via their email mailing list a coupon for a free Mexican brownie in celebration, but I left the coupon at home. When I told our waiter the story,he promptly removed the item from our bill no questions. This is one of the reasons I and my guest continue to go back time and time again."

"While the food is still good, we felt rushed by our server our entire meal. My husband was barely halfway through his meal when she brought us the dessert tray to look over. When we said we wanted desert, but obviously not until we were done with our meal, she said she'd wait to put the order in. However, the dessert came out before he was done. When she brought us the check, she told us to take our time, but my husband had barely put his card in and she grabbed it from his hand. So if you are looking to enjoy your meal, this wouldn't be the place to do it. We like to enjoy good food, so we will take our business to one of the many new restaurants now open in Nahville. It's too bad. Hopefully the service will change."

It's a more expensive than other Mexican places but it's priced similarly to the rest of the gulch. Not to mention the quality is a lot better."
