"We took my mom out for Mother's Day brunch last weekend to Cantina Laredo. Their buffet was bland, the gentleman in charge of the omelet station didn't speak English and messed up our order TERRIBLY (as in stopped by three separate times asking if 'This egg your egg?') and the drinks were very watered down. Even our own waiter complained about the other staff in the restaurant.
I'm sure they have a great dinner menu, but I will not be going back to this restaurant. Enter at your own risk."

"The waiter for our group birthday party luncheon was extremely rude. He actually poked several of my co-workers in the back to get their attention while we were trying to dine.
We were not offered a birthday cake to celebrate our co-workers birthdays.
It was a very weird and uncomfortable experience and I will not be going back anytime soon!"

"Not just bad Mexican food, but really bad (can't even call it Mexican" food. Grilled fajita meat rolled in a flour tortilla with some sort of red sauce on top is NOT a "taco al carbon." Beer was cold, service almost non-existant. No spoon to stir iced tea, no sweetener or sugar."

"Absolutely not worth it. Over-priced and completely unexceptional food, with only slightly better drinks. The best part about the place was the outdoor patio. Grab a drink and enjoy the people watching , but skip dinner."

"The carnitas were amazing!! No, seriously...they just melted right off the bone. Highly recommended. Shrimp fajitas were average. Went on a Friday night and the service was good despite being crowded. Meals come with chips and salsa (served with two different types....one spicier than the other)."

"We went on Valentine's Day and the most wonderful experience! I loved the Cantina Laredo Platter which I tasted from my husbands' plate. I ordered the pescado appetizer which was a good size meal for me and that was absolutely delicious and so much flavor. For anyone who loves seasoning to be just right.... this is a must try,appetizing,delightful selection. I had a margarita and my first Mojito ever and that was very good! I am looking forward to going back and am taking my friends and family. Anyone who has not been here must go and you will see that I was right. To the staff i would like to say "Thank You, John" for a great price we both had an awesome time because you we so nice and on point....we never had to wait or ask for anything"

"The food was good. I had the grilled plate of meat, was confused when the waitress asked me if I would like the sides that went with it after she brought the meat. Seems like if it was listed as part of meal it would come with food. But when I said yes she went and got the sides.Service was a bit slow but it was really busy that night. We were seated in the bar in a window table for 6. Table was great and the view cool but when the bar filled up we were trapped in the corner and the wait staff had a hard time getting through the crowd to us. Overall I would say this was a good choice if you wanted drinks and snacks in bar but in the future if we go back for dinner I will ask for a table in the dining area rather then in the bar."

"The food at Cantina Laredo was served lukewarm, and the enchiladas were dry. We spent $100 for a dinner that wasn't worth $10. Very overpriced for what it was."

"Made a reservation for a group of co-workers in town for a meeting. We're in the food industry, so folks can be picky... yet, we didn't have a big budget. Cantina Laredo was PERFECT. Menu gave lots of fun foodie options for Mexican, while giving folks a chance to booze-it-up without running-up the bill.
Ryan, our server was fantastic!
Everyone made a point to thank me for organizing such a fun, yet casual dinner."
