Cantina Laredo - Great Mexican Food

Amen. best marg's in sowal, in no particular order....jdarg's dargarita, Big D's marvelous marg, and the Tarpon Club's MOgarita

Were dargaritas in the Party Ball on NYE? They were good! I can't believe I've never had one at Tarpon Club -- I'll have to try one. Big D says thanks for the compliments on his.

No one should ever mix good tequila with margarita mix. That just ain't right. Margarita mix is used to cover up the taste of cheap tequila and does a good job of it. ;-)

Exactly. Once we had a margarita at Shades with the house tequila. It was so good that we decided to try one with Patrone's. We couldn't really tell the difference.

Just as in college we used to try to have one beer at every bar on Magazine Street from Audubon to Canal (in one night -- never accomplished it), we've joked that our next quest should be to try a shot of every tequila at Taqueria Del Sol in Atlanta (not in one night ). They must have about 100.

Speaking of P. F. Chang's and Mexican food, I'm not big on chain restaurants (Houston's being the exception), but I think Pappasito's is awesome. Of course, in one meal you'll get enough calories for a week and fat grams for a month. Love the family-style Plato Toro with ribs, brochette-style shrimp, beef and chicken fajitas, frijoles a la charra, rice, guacamole, pico de gallo, and, of course, chips and salsa. Yum!

We tried out Cantina Laredo tonight and we liked it! The food was good, the decor was nice, the service wasn't bad, but the waiter was very busy. The place was packed. There was about a 45 minute wait. Try the freshly made guacamole that they make at your table. Very good.

Are they open for lunch?

 

[SGB]

We were given lunch menus by mistake to begin with, so I assume they are open for lunch.

I drove on up there and, yes, you are correct, they are open for lunch. To eat off the lunch menu, go Monday-Friday. Regular menu on the weekends.

Let me say, this place was EXCELLENT. Loved the atmosphere, food and staff. Just a very good experience all around.

I recommend this place. I have been waiting for a good Mexican Restaurant for years!!!
