    Do not go! This place is terrible, the food is very mediocre, it is not excellent at all, eat much better in a food truck, believe me! And now it turns out that it has a new owner who has unconsciously increased the prices, my friends and I bought a bottle of Absolut vodka whose regular price is between $18 to $28, they charged us $200 in this place!! and a month ago a friend ordered a bottle of Buchannan's scotch whiskey for which they charged $145 and now for the same bottle they charge you $320. It is literally a robbery. We don't recommend it to anyone, it was a terrible experience for us to have to overpay in an absurd way in a place that is not worth it, the only good thing is the band that plays on Fridays but you can go see them on Tuesdays at Five Central.

    I went on a Wednesday at 2:00 pm, the restaurant was nearly empty (which is a good thing for me). The waiter was very nice and gave us good service, I got the chicken enchiladas and they had a pleasant taste! I would recommend.

    Came here on a Monday night with family to try something new. Pretty empty inside upon arrival. Waiter was very nice and professional. They serve Mr.PIBB which was surprising. The margaritas were incredibly strong- if your into that! Ordered a chicken tortilla soup returned it because it looked and smelled like it came from a can, the chicken was very thready. Fajitas were chewy, flour tortillas were good only because I'm pretty sure they bought em from H‑E‑B, the rice was super dry and had no flavor. Charro beans were good. The guacamole was not fresh it was already turning. When I got up to ask for some salt, one of the workers- maybe management said something along the lines of "oh he went to the restroom he'll be right back" meaning the gentleman who was our waiter, instead of asking me how they can help me. The mango tres leches was vanilla cake with sweet mango on top. It was not moist at all like tres leches should be. Little brother had the quesadilla- he liked it. Little sister had the "flautitas" which only came in chicken no beef. she said chicken had no flavor, didn't come with rice and beans just two flautas chopped in half with lettuce and crema sprinkled on top. For the price and taste I would not recommend coming here, unless your goal is to have strong margaritas. I wish I had a better food experience but it just wasn't it. And to top it off my dad ended up sick with possible food poisoning- he ordered the tamal and enchilada dinner.

    Was here for a birthday party last weekend. Service was on point and spotless. Fajita mix plate excellent rice and beans charro, needs a little work, for my taste, was salty, but hey you might like it. Recommend for sure. Live band is excellent, loud but good. Management is good. Girl at the front, hostess, don't remember her name is great, make sure to tip her on your way out. Will be back for more.

    Elegant birthday dinner for 20 people on a Thursday evening at 7:30pm. Great food and service. Management made the reservation process easy. Everyone was very attentive. The waitress was very patient and helpful understanding the menu. The food did not take long to come out. The drinks 🍹🍺 were top notch! The site closes at 9pm but was patient while we finished. They made my wife's birthday very special and I highly recommend for a great family dinner experience. I hear they have music on the weekends. Will definitely have to return..

    I've been using this company for almost 2 years now to cater lunch for our clients. John has the best communication and they always arrive on time, fully set up, and make sure the food is still hot and fresh before leaving. We cater about 6-8 luncheons per month and have built a great relationship moving forward with this company. Thank you Cantina Laredo!

    I just can’t give enough great stars to Cantina Laredo. Every experience I have ever had through the doors of this business have been beyond excellence. The staff - every person that has ever helped me has always been attentive, happy to be there. The decor matches the menu with a lot of Mexican/Spanish influence. The menu is fantastic! The carnitas bowl is my favorite. The guacamole is made fresh table side. You have got to try the queso…and those chips - just WOW! The drinks - I recently created a list of best margaritas in Houston and Cantina Laredo is number one on that list. The bar is gorgeous. They have a stage and will have a live band on certain nights - it’s pure fun! What makes all of these elements dance together is the management - John loves his restaurant and his dedication to delivering a solid product and experience shows in the success of his business. He is a true pillar of the community. I highly recommend Cantina Laredo for a night out with dancing, a lunch break, or a lazy Saturday get away with your SO. ❤️

    Went last night for the first time, sat us at the closest booth to the kitchen and quite literally had at least a dozen baby house roaches crawling over the salsa plates, silverware, and table. My boyfriend and I didnt eat anything we just got up and left. Our server was very nice but wasn’t expecting to dine with “friends”.

    Best chicken Enchiladas I've ever had. Also, great margaritas. Eddy and the bartender, Michael, gave fantastic customer service. I am in Houston about twice a month, and this will be my stop from here on out for Mexican food.

    This place is amazing. Our server Colten was excellent. Food was delicious & service was top notch. I wish I lived closer as I would be there every day. I had the cante enchiladas & had so many great flavors. The salsa & chips had the best homemade salsa I've ever tasted.

    I had to go back for the taco plate, and I got a really pleasant suprised -- big, tasty tacos. I was well attended to by Clara again. Besides the food, she's the reason I go back She's the best waitress there and knows how to take care of customers.

    Came into this what I thought was a upscale restaurant and as I sat to the table. The waiter instantly had a tough time understanding me and my family. Another waiter also call hisself “hitting on me” making me feel highly uncomfortable and made me rush to eat my food which wasn’t good or filling at all for the pricing and my orders were wrong twice before even coming out correctly. After leaving we literally went to McDonald’s to eat how unsatisfied we were…we had the steak tacos the chicken quesadilla & tacos…my friend is a allergic to beef and they still decided to mess her order up, if she would’ve bit into the enchilada she could’ve had an reaction and went into anaphylactic shock.

    That was the worse customer experience and Mexican food I have ever had! I ordered a chicken tortilla soup which is 9-10$ and what came to me was literally just nothing but liquid. They didn’t even attempt to fix it. The manager was notified, yet he didn’t do anything to remedy the situation. I ended up asking for just charro beans and rice. The rice was absolutely disgusting. The beans were old… the salsa was awful! My stomach was not happy after eating their food! I came here thinking it was going to be a great experience due to the great reviews. I am never coming here again. Save your money and go someplace else.

    My lady and I came to celebrate our birthdays together and we had a great time. The food was perfect. The place is clean and service is excellent. The manager Mr. Soto was very welcoming and super funny. He made us laugh and we enjoyed our meal. They even gave us a complimentary dessert to celebrate. I been back after and it’s the same wonderful experience. Thank you so much Cantina Laredo.

    Nice Restaurant with nice atmosphere. The dinning area is configuring to accommodate big get together. After all you finish with eating from all the delicious dishes in the menu, go to the dance floor and dance your night away Or seat at the bar and order your favorite dirink, from simple to exotic one.

  • 5/5 Bryan B. 1 year ago on Google
    This a good place to go to. My wife and I really enjoy going here. We love the food and service is good. And this place has live music sometimes on the weekends and they have a nice dance floor next to the bar.

    Came here last Saturday on 2/18 with some friends. I paid the cover charge which was $10 per person for the side with music. They sat us in a corner and we just weren't feeling it so we requested to sit in the restaurant. I asked for a refund because why pay and not sit there. I could tell the manager was already annoyed with my request for a refund. He took my card and went to the back. I sat down in the restaurant and asked the hostess if the manager was going to bring my card back. She brought me this receipt saying I would be refunded. I never got an official receipt saying that I had been refunded my money instead I got a signature from the manager who had a nasty attitude. This guy had the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Also why was I charged $43.30 for a cover charge for 4 people? Shouldn't it have just been $40? I will be disputing this charge with my bank than having to deal with this restaurant.

    Solid lunch experience. I got the carnitas bowl and it was delicious. The portion is ideal if you're not trying to squeeze in a siesta before going back to work.

    I went in the happy hour. I ordered from the happy hour menu. I like the quesadilla and the nachos. I ordered a strawberry margarita. It was too sweet

    This place is really good. It might be a more expensive but you are getting what you pay for. The food was cooked perfectly. The aromas were on point and we devoured our food. We stumbled across this place and are thankful we did. If you're in Houston, come eat here!
