For those of you, and us, who miss Luna Del Mar, I've got great news. Cantina Laredo opened in the last couple of days at Grand Boulevard, and the food is grayt! As are the margaritas. The only bad news is that somehow the word is already out and tonight when we tried to make reservations the choices were 5:30 or 8:30.
We went with some other folks at 5:30 and the place was already hoppin'. By the time we left it was packed, and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time.
We will be going back many, many times.

Smiling JOeSoWal Expert31,643 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal Expertmy first impression of a mexican restaurant is always chips, salsa and cheesedip. at the cantina - all of these failed, IMO. the chips were cold right out of a bag, and the cheese dip was that orange stuff you get out of the jar at publix - warmed. the salsa was okay, but not much flavor. they did serve a warm salsa that was tasty however.I had all three, and while you are right about the cheese dip looking rather Velveeta-E, it tasted great. I was shocked when I saw the tiny basket for the chips, but they refilled our basket about every 4 minutes. I loved the chips and found the salsa quite good. I think it was a bean based salsa, so it was a bit different from the norm, but good, in my opinion.
the menu had some very nice looking entrees. I did enjoy the cheese chile relleno, the beans were good. the rice was not.
I don't love the place, but I know many friends who do.

Smiling JOeSoWal Expert31,643 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal ExpertI love CoCo's! The food was great, and I loved my food. We went to Laredo and it was ok also but if I had my choice, I would choose to go to Coco's!!CoCo's, in my opinion is filler food, cheaply priced, but for a reason. I cook better Mexican food than that, and my Margarita's don't compare. I know some people dislike cooking, but I love to cook, and will continue to cook at home for most of my meals.

I agree, SJ. I love to cook too, and I will continue to do so. My tomatoes fresh from my "container" garden have been wonderful this year.
Went to Stinky's Thursday night for the first time, and was disappointed.
For the price of a meal for the two, I can buy groceries for two weeks! And, the iced tea was weak, we did not like the slaw...the room was hot -- the grouper was good, but the overall effect was disappointing. I won't be going back any time soon. At least not until the summer is is over.
