4 /5 Michael Odajewski: I had the carna asada, black beans and rice. All delicious. For dessert I had Flan and very creamy with a taste of lemon. The service was quick and attentive. Recommend highly.

1 /5 Erin Johnston: I really hate to leave a bad review, but this experience was above and beyond awful. We ended up throwing away about 90% of our $100+ Uber Eats order and going elsewhere for dinner. We ordered the Blanco Bowl appetizer (white queso with poblano peppers, spinach, artichoke, and guacamole), tortilla soup, a combo burrito (chicken and steak), and steak fajitas. Unfortunately, everything was nearly inedible. The queso had strange green strands that didn’t look or taste like spinach, and large unidentifiable chunks that were definitely not artichoke. The tortilla soup was not tortilla soup, but shredded chicken in a tomato paste. My husband’s burrito looked like a mush of beans with hardly any steak or chicken — honestly, it resembled a mess more than a meal. When we called to let the restaurant know, the manager blamed Uber Eats and said the driver might have “added something” or mixed up the order, which didn’t make sense. She then told us there was nothing she could do because it was an Uber Eats order and to contact them instead. I’m so sorry we tried this place — the food and the handling of the situation were both extremely disappointing.

5 /5 A P: We love this place. It’s always fresh drinks are great honestly may not be the most authentic Mexican food, but always delicious.

1 /5 Ronald Tuckey: Lived here 20+ years and Cantina Laredo was one of or favorite restaurants, even had my 50th BD party here. Walking in here last night meeting friends and I felt like I walked into a Perkins that hadn’t been renovated since 1990s. They repainted and put new flooring in and they should fire whoever is their Interior Designer. I loved the rich cozy richness that it had. If that wasn’t enough for me to not come back, I got my food. The fajitas didn’t have enough steak to make three average sized tacos. The rice was so dry it was like eating it out of the uncooked bag. We were going to go get desert elsewhere but decided since we were still hungry that we ordered Churros. They came out burnt, hard as a rock from outside to the dead center. We sent them back and decided to never go back. There are too many high end Mexican places with amazing food like Clase Azul and Casa Blanca to name a couple. Hope you guys figure this out before you go out of business because you HAD it right before.
