I've visited at least 10 times now, its GREAT! Servers are super friendly, the zucchini side is amazing, the fresh table side made guac is spicy but tasty. We even had a birthday dinner for 9 on a Saturday night with very short notice and they accommodated beautifully. Highly recommend!
Review Source:So, I had there "Tacos De Pollo Cascabel, Ceviche, Tacos De Barbacoa, Flautas, Nachos Al Carbon and Crab Cakes" Â Over all the food was Ok, nothing amazing but ok there's stuff that I would not order again but I couple that I might. The atmosphere and the services was real nice. There was nothing that stood out that makes me wanna come back to try it again so as far as coming back I might if I'm in the area for Happy Hour but I will not go out my way to come back
Review Source:Going during happy hour and take advantage of their appetizers. We ordered the quesadilla, tacos, and nachos and all of them were fantastic and much cheaper then the rest of the menu. We also took advantage of the outside seating which was great because we love to people watch and their are many walking around the mall.
Review Source:My daughter and i went out to eat every meal  over christmas holidays...we loved Cantina Laredo ...the server we had was great....the atmosphere  was great, food fresh, arrived promptly,  we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience....we had been testing various Mexican style restaurants ...we compared restaurants over a weeks time from Sedona to Phoenix and this restaurant received our highest rating....I would recommend as Excellent....what a great holiday memory....also had wifi so,we could Skype with family....great touch....
Review Source:Compared to the other places I have tried so far this was pretty good. I liked the salsa. It was smokey flavored and nicely spiced but not too hot. The chips were a bit salty The meal, Lorado Combination Plate, was very good. Some of the best Mexican food I have had out of a restaurant in the Phoenix area. Yum!
Review Source:Haven't had a bad meal or cocktail here. Â Wait staff is better than average. Â
However, last night, it took 20 minutes to get our cocktails and 30 minutes for dessert to arrive. Â Granted, it was a busy Saturday night, but the bar and kitchen should have been staffed up.
We did make a complaint to the manager and his response was appropriate.
visited for the first time on a Monday evening approx. 6pm. My party of 3 was seated immediately & greeted by our server promptly. For my entree I had the chicken tampico (without spinach) and it was delicious! grilled chicken was very moist, the vegetable side was squash done just right (not quite al dente but not soggy either- just right) the mexican rice also had good flavor. Everything tasted fresh and served warm as though made to order. We split the apple pie dessert w/ cinnamon ice cream- which was good but not great.
I will definately go back again.
Went here with my husband for the first time a few days ago, and I have to say I was impressed! However, I'm shocked to see so many comments about the atmosphere. It was okay...the fire places were beautiful however the walls are very bare, very paneled, very sterile. Â Hang some art work! And the music did not match the decor at all. It was mariachi music that felt like I was at Filibertos...not classy at all.
However, I was very impressed with the food. Great salsa and chips, good margarita (pomegranate) and excellent shrimp salad! Shrimp, jicama, walnuts, mango and goat cheese with a cirtus dressing. It was worth the $14 price tag! Would recommend to any salad fanatic. Husband had the fajitas and wasn't as impressed. Overall, good food and drinks, terrible art decor and lousy music playing, but 4/5 for that salad!
Go for the ambiance or the location, but certainly don't go for the food or the service! Â We used to come here as a large group for their occasional tequila nights. Â I tolerated the extreme price tag and endured the mediocre food because they gave us a private room, had raffles and awards, and the tequila flowed generously. Â
However, after three consecutive events where one or more of our group asked us to stop going there (usually because of bad food, bad service, or getting ill from the food), we stopped doing tequila nights. Â Since then I have been back twice with other people for lunch. The first time I thought it must have been an off day, I figured they couldn't really be this bad and still be in business. Â The second time was my last - they really are this bad.
I haven't had fast food since 2003, but I'd drive through Taco Bell before I'd sit through a Cantina Laredo lunch. Â So, bottom line, if you're just going for friends and drinks, it's a great place. Â If you're expecting decent service and tolerable food, look elsewhere.
A couple of friends had recommended this place, so we finally gave it a shot. Â The prices on the menu kind of punched me in the face - because it was hard to believe that anyone gets away with charging that for Mexican fare. Â I ordered the enchilada trio, which was immediately forgettable. Â The chips and salsa were just okay, and te waitress did a so-so job. Â
The fun began once we were lured to the bar with the "Three Amigos" promo drink (after the meal). Â
Basically, it's their house margarita, with a Coronita tipped in from above, and a Hornitos tequila sidecar. Â This kind of got my night started on the right foot. Â A few more of the house 'ritas once reverse happy hour hit, and we were finally happy.
In other words, no reason to go there for the food - but the bartender is great and the beer flows like wine.
It passed my test - namely, would I come back. Yes! Like what others have noted, chips and salsas were very good. I had a chicken enchilada/taco (combo #something) and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Plating was modern and well done with just the right portion size. The decor was semi-upscale and very clean. Service was friendly and consistent. An unexpected find for a mall.
Review Source:Not good mexican food...authentic? Please! I had the mole enchilada...it was okay. Chips and salsa.....meh...weak salsa. It is pricey....and it really shouldn't be for the portion you get!
The only good thing? The service was excellent but they just need fire the chef and get a good mexican crew back there.
To conclude our day date on Sunday, after we left Fox Cigar Bar we went to Cantina Laredo for an early dinner. Â I had eaten at the Scottsdale location twice last year for lunch and enjoyed it then, so I thought I would take the husband to the Gilbert location and see what happy hour and dinner was like. Â
We were greeted right away by a manager type and he seated us and said our server, I believe her name was Jackie, would be right with us, and she was. Â She showed us the HH menu and we opted for the $5 marg. Â They also have $3 HH margs, but we're no pansies and wanted the bigger one. Â We also ordered some chicken taquitos that are on the HH menu. Â We got 6 for $3.49. Â I thought that was a great deal. Â They were flavorful with a nice crunch and the chicken was very tender. Â In fact, I'm going to daydream about those for a minute.
Then we decided to share the Asada Y Camarones which is, to quote the menu: Â grilled steak topped with bacon-wrapped shrimp filled with oaxaca cheese and jalapeno. Â For $23.99 it was a great price and portion to share. Â We each felt like we had a full dinner. Â The steak was tender with a little pink inside, just like we like it, and those bacon-wrapped shrimp were heavenly. Â They had a smoky flavor already and then the bacon on top of that....well, bacon makes everything better. Â Our dinner came with some rice and sauteed squash. Â Both nice and light. Â
How could I forget the chips and salsa? Â I love that they bring you two salsas and one is more fire-roasted tasting and a little spicier. Â Like them both a lot. Â I ended up putting the smoky, spicier one on those taquitos and was in my own little heaven. Â Â
Jackie was very attentive and overall we had a great experience and look forward to going back.
I was totally surprised at how good this restaurant is. Â I agree with everyone else on the service, decor, and margaritas! Â The guacamole made table side was really good and fresh. Â However, I really enjoyed my meal as did my dining companion. We had cerviche and Tacos Pescado. Â Both were execellent. Â i would highly reccomend this restuarant to anyone in the area!
Review Source:The BF and I just love this place! Â Fabulous margaritas....and cheap during happy hour! Â Great chips and salsa, and tableside guacamole. Â The Enchiladas de Avocado is our favorite entree. Â It comes with this amazing jicama salad which I think I love even more than the enchiladas. Â Service is always good....everyone's friendly. Â Bartenders are great too. Â This is our go-to margarita spot!
Review Source:Found in Arizona!!! Â Really good Mexican food that is not a taco,burrito or enchilada!!! Â We stopped for lunch at this mall restaurant not expecting much and it was a happy surprise.
We ordered maragaritas and appetizers. Â Spend the extra $$ and get the Cab0o Wabo margarita than the house one; it's worth it. Â The 'ritas were clearly made from fresh ingredients, although I would have like mine a little sweeter. Â We ate the delicious guacamole, which was made table-side, and the ceviche, whiich was probably the best I ever ate. Â The chips and salsa that were brought to the table were also very freshly made.
Our waiter was very capable. Â The only downside was the hostess who seated us. Â Not very friendly, never made eye contact and if she spoke at all, she mumbled.
Seriously AWESOME.
First time here, and it was GOURMET MEXICAN, just as advertised.
Everything was fresh, spiced in unique and thoughtful ways, and presented very well.
I had the RIBEYE. Â If you are a carnivore, please eat this. Â And thank me.
Oh my dear wonderful god it was tasty. Â I ordered it medium rare and it was PERFECTION.
They really have taken some time and energy to make each dish distinctive.
My friend had the Ensalada with Cilantro y Pollo and it was such a surprising blend of so many different tastes. Â The chicken had a GREAT chargrilled flavor and blended with all the other veggies.
We totally got suckered into ordering the sizzling ice cream dessert (I think it's just called apple pie on the menu, but my name is "The Ice Cream SIZZLER".
We watched the table next to us get presented with this hot stone dish with some pastry + ice cream, and then the waiter poured some delicious sauce all over it, and that damn ice cream SIZZLED.
So sweet, but oh-so-tasty, and even the after dinner coffee was really soothing.
I was so utterly satisfied by every aspect of this dining experience, I just hope they keep delivering!
When I checked in here, I was a little surprised that it's average rating isn't higher. But then I realized that I always get the same thing when I eat here, so I decided to branch out. I can now confidently speak for two items on the menu.
The pros: The Carne Asada is delicious- that is what I normally get. This time I got the Avocado and Artichoke Enchiladas and I really enjoyed them too. Another reviewer mentioned liking the chips and salsa, and I agree. They give you two completely different types of salsa, and they are both really good. Also- I really like their chips. I have high expectations when it comes to chips at Mexican restaurants, and these ones are really very good. The service has always been really great while I am there, and there is a pretty nice atmosphere. Oh- I have also had their apple pie dessert- it comes out sizzling and they have cinnamon ice cream to go along with it. It's amazing!
The cons: As some other Yelpers have said, drinks are just ok and when I am paying $10 for a margarita, I would prefer that it isn't watered down.
Anyway, is it authentic Mexican food? No, but it is still pretty tasty. I'll keep going here, and maybe next time I will be able to review something else on the menu.
Just wish I liked this place. Have been here twice (always try to give a place a second chance.) The atmosphere is nice and it's close to home. Service is ok, but food was just so-so, and definitely not worth the price. Maybe it's the way cilantro overpowers all the dishes we've tried, but the food was pretty one-note. The chips and salsa were the reason for the second star. Very nice, which makes it such a shame that the food is sub par.
Doubt I'd be back except maybe for drinks, chips & salsa.
The three stars are for service, decor, ambiance and the margaritas. Â
We started off with some guacamole which was prepared table side. Â Sad to say the best part of the meal was made by the server but it's true. Â The food was less than meh. Â There's no doubt in my mind I was given instant rice and that was the most memorable part of my meal. Â I can't recall what I ordered as a main dish.
I think this is a great place for happy hour margs and guac... nothing else.
On a recent trip to Arizona I was looking forward to some quality Mexican food, and was rather disappointed with the fare from Cantina Laredo.
The hot salsa and chips immediately brought to the table were delicious, as was the fresh guacamole made table side but it pretty much went downhill from there.
I ordered queso chicken tacos which were nothing more than a grilled chicken breast sliced and put in 3 small taco shells and a side of queso, no lettuce, no tomato, no NOTHING. Â For a mere $17...
Other people in my party got different types of fajitas which were good but still overpriced. Â
All in all this place is overpriced for what you get. Â I don't mind an expensive restaurant but I expect to get what I pay for and Cantina Laredo just doesn't make the grade.
A little disappointed that Blue Wasabi was closed (on a Friday afternoon-WTF...), the next place to grab something to eat was Cantina Laredo.
Place was a bit empty, but had a very clean and modern feel to it. The waitress was promt and was nice, she explained the ingredients in both the hot and cold salsa that came with the chips. It's nice that their chips and salsa are complimentary. Chips feel really light and airy, with a crisp in every bite. Salsa is not the regular chunky red stuff that you'll find at El Torito and On the Border, it's a brown, roasted, smokey sauce. Very different and pretty tastey.
I had the Tacos Al Pastor (Four corn tortillas with roasted, cascabel marinated pork), and she made sure to tell me that they were spicy. And were they!! Meat was a little on the dry side, but had plenty of dry, hot spice. I also had the side of refried beans and rice. They also made very sure that my cup of water was never empty. Spent around $12+Tip, so it pretty average price for 'gourmet mexican food'.
Think I'll stick with something a little more mild next time, it's hard to judge their normal food when I order the spiciest thing on the menu first.
Cantina Laredo is okay by me. The food is good. The drinks are good. The atmosphere and decor is alright. But that's just the problem. Everything is just "okay".
The only thing that stood out for me is the chips & guacamole. The make it right at your table, and you are able to omit any ingredients you choose. This is a big deal for me because I HATE onions. So I can get delicious guacamole without having to scoop around the onions.
I eat here occasionally, but I never really crave it.
Though we were initially pretty impressed with the restaurant, our hopes for an enjoyable and filling lunch came crashing down pretty quickly.
I do agree on a few points with some of the previous reviews. The chips and salsas were great. I asked for some extra hot salsa and our server (Adrien?) quickly made up some extra hot salsa that, along with the two other types already served, ended up being pretty much all I ate.
As others have already stated, the service was great, the atmosphere was nice, but we walked out the door looking for somewhere to go eat.
My wife ordered the Enchilada De Espinaca (sauteed spinach, monterey jack cheese and mushroom enchilada) and asked to have chicken added. She ended up with what looked good at first, but turned out to be steamed white-meat chicken and spinach ONLY inside the enchilada. No mushrooms or cheese.
I ordered the Chile Relleno and was expecting to be asked if i wanted cheese or whatever 'Picadillo' was, but since I was just a little busy getting my daughter to not create a new lab experiment with the salsa and her sprite, I pretty much hoped for the best when our server just walked away. I was very suprised to find ground beef (yes hamburger) sliced almonds and a semi-sweet spice mix filling my relleno. Since I enjoy almonds and most other nuts as much as my daughters enjoy sushi, that blew my whole meal. Did I mention the almonds sprinkled on the side dish (some kind of pan-fried potatoes)?
The two stars are only granted for two items...a decent kids menu with enough options to even satisfy my two picky chitlens and the fact the person who appeared to be the head chef came out of the back and personally apologized to us and comped the entire meal (including the corn-dog and chicken fingers my girls scarfed down.)
We may give it one more try because we are always looking for someplace we can get at least decent food while also satisfying our two princesses.
I hope they can get the back of the line in order since i don't know any restaurant that can survive long-term on happy hour, chip and dessert fans.
Wow. The dessert was unbelievable. I will try to do a complete review and not only focus on the dessert, but seriously, that's all I can think about.
We went here for dinner last night. Although the service was friendly, it was quite slow. Slow to get our drinks, and slow to get the table-side guac. Once we did get them however, everything was awesome. Hubby ordered the strawberry mojito which he literally downed in about 3.5 seconds flat. He loved it. I had a dirty martini, and although the waiter forgot the olives, the martini itself was pretty darn good.
The table side guac was tasty and plentiful - easily enough for a group of 4. With just the 2 of us, we left a lot of it uneaten.
I ordered a "new" menu item, the portabella and goat cheese enchiladas, and the husband ordered the carne asada and camarones. We both LOVED our dishes. Although I was disappointed in the fact that I got a mango salad on the side instead of the rice which is what the waiter said I would be getting. Shame on me for not reading the menu more carefully (I hate mango).
Even though we were both delightfully stuffed, we ordered dessert. OMG. No really, OMG. The best dessert I've had in a LONG time. I keep thinking about it. I wish I could have another one today. We had the "Mexican Brownie". In case I didn't already mention it - OMG! SO absolutely delicious. It's a huge brownie filled with LOTS of nuts (I think walnuts, don't remember exactly), served on a hot skillet with vanilla ice cream and a brandy sauce. No really, I think I have to go over there today and get another one. It's so unbelievably tasty.
So, bottom line, when you go, whatever you do, you MUST leave room for this delicious chocolatey sizzling mouthwatering goodness.
p.s. I would give the place 5 stars if it wasn't for the slow service. Oh, also, it's a bit on the pricey side (specialty dishes, like the carne asada and shrimp the hubby had, are over $20).
The staff at this location is excellent. Although I have not eaten here for lunch or dinner (as this is primarily a happy hour destination) the happy hour menu is sure to have something for every one. I have not had a bad dish from this menu.
Another fine point for me is that they serve onion free fire roasted salsa, this is very important as my date is 'onion averse'.
They also make great 'PERFECT PATRÓN MARGARITAS' which is made of Patrón Silver and Patrón Citrónge.
This review is for the Sunday brunch. I actually intended to go there for lunch but when my friend and I read the incredibly tempting brunch menu, we had to go for it. CL serves brunch from 11:00-3:00, so plenty of time to drag your lazy or hungover ass out of bed. The brunch menu ranges from $13-$17 per person and it is worth every penny.
First you get your choice of a complimentary mimosa or bloody mary. They load you up on chips and two varieties of salsa while you wait for your entree. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the brunch menu and even the manager stopped by our table to chat us up and make some suggestions.
I went with the manager's suggested favorite, the Crab Cakes Benedict. Oh my was this incredible! The eggs, they were so perfectly poached. The crab cakes had a ton of crab in them and were very flavorful. The hollandaise sauce was totally sinful and delicious and in just the right amount. The crab cakes themselves were huge. They give you two but with all the other food that comes with the meal I could not finish the second one. I did however inhale that second poached egg. Even typing about it makes me want to drive over there this moment! I love me some runny yolk.
My friend got the Chorizo con Huevos. It was spicy and perfectly cooked. Again the portion was huge. They serve the brunch meals on platters that could hold a Thanksgiving turkey. You could easily get two meals out of one. All of the brunch meals come with bread, fruit salad, and potatoes in the form of home fries. The bread is actually a small, dense bun/roll with some type of honey glaze on it. It was really tasty and the glaze was very light, not gooey or heavy. The fruit salad was extremely fresh and had huge strawberries and chunks of mango and melon. The fruit was served in this deep-fried, cinnamon sugar coated "bowl" with extra cinnamon sprinkled on the fruit, delicious! The potatoes were meh. They were a little too mushy for home fries, not firm enough, but they were seasoned well and served with an ungodly amount of butter.
The decor here is rather nice and everything including the bathroom was impeccably clean. The booths are extremely comfortable and roomy. Sucks that this place is located in BFE, but definitely worth a stop if you are hitting up San Tan for shopping anyway. If I did live in Gilbert I would probably be here every Sunday!
I was looking to take my Mom to a nice Mexican restaurant while she was visiting Phoenix; more specifically the Queen Creek/Gilbert metroplex. She is from nowhere-Kentucky and gets Mexican dining in small buildings where the taco/enchilada combo plate is the house specialty. We were planning on seeing a movie afterwards, so I ventured to San Tan Village and visited Cantina Laredo.
The restaurant had a nice decor and atmosphere. The seating was nice (but I think they found the smallest table for us). The waiter I think was also the bartender, but it was slow at noon on Sunday, so he waited tabled. I think his name was Stuart. Very nice guy. The chips and salsa arrived and I dug in. Three bowls of salsa - two red and typical salsa (very good) and one warm that didn't really blow my skirt up. I passed on that and ordered the table-made guacamole. It is just under $10 for the guacamole, but it was very good and well worth it. Stuart used three full avocados in making the dip. I ordered the Puerto Vallarta, which was a combination platter with two enchiladas and a rolled up soft taco. The meal was very good and very filling - but I didn't stop there...
thanks to my mobile app for Yelp I detected the review indicating if I passed on the sizzling brownie I was selling myself short - so I went for it. It did not disappoint! Stuart brought out the brownie, the butter cream and ice cream separately and prepared the dish. The plate was hot cast iron, the brownie went on, mushed in a spot for the vanilla ice cream and put the sauce on the plate. It started to sizzle and smelled almost of butterscotch. He spooned it on top of the ice cream. My mom said "this is the best dessert I have ever had!"
The good quality was good (the sauce on the chicken enchiada was excellent) and the service was awesome. Stuart kept the drinks filled and prepared the guacamole and brownie well at the table. Very nice guy too. It was a bit pricey - 3 lunches, the guacamole and dessert for $63 ($75 after tip), but it was very good. I will be back - if nothing else, for the guac and brownie!
I can sum up this review with this:
An alcohol-free lunch for two at a Mexican restaurant that costs $45 better have me saying, "Holy crap that was good, I can't wait to go back!"
Not so at Cantina Laredo.
They tout "gourmet Mexican food". Â And while some of the entree's looked interesting, and I suppose "gourmetish", I was basically unimpressed.
The table-side prepared guacamole was very good, though $10 seems a bit pricey. It was nice and chunky, just how I like it (though the onions were TOO chunky for my taste. Unlike a previous reviewer noted, the jalapenos were diced to the perfect size).
Chips were excellent, and the salsas were quite tasty, but had absolutely no fire.
I ordered the Enchiladas de Mole, which were just OK. Not bad, not great. The "Sweet, spicy blend of dried Mexican peppers" made me think there would be some spice/fire to this dish, but again there was none. Flavorful, yes. Spicy, not-so-much. And there was something odd about the taste that we couldn't quite place. One of those dishes that I couldn't quite decide if I liked or not. It was almost as if the cook did something for the sole purpose of making it "gourmet".
My lovely bride ordered a combo plate that was anything but "gourmet". It was standard Mexican fare. Again, OK but not great by any stretch of the imagination (and available for half the price at any mom & pop type place on the planet).
The guy behind me ordered fajitas that smelled delightful. Then again, you can throw a hunk of any form of beef on a sizzling skillet and it'll smell delightful to me.
Service was very good. We were seated swiftly (the place was basically empty at noon, which doesn't bode well for their future) and the food came quickly. Our soda / tea / chips were never empty. Very attentive service, though not particularly friendly. Clearly not rude, just sort of "there".
This place looks like it might be fun to hang out and have drinks. A large (and apparently well stocked) bar is front and center. With margaritas pushing $12 a pop though, be sure to check your credit limit before leaving home.
In short, you can slap "gourmet" on the facade and on the menu. You can charge "gourmet" prices. But if you don't serve gourmet food, you wind up with a two star restaurant that I can't recommend....
How did he know? I guess we looked liked tired shoppers who needed a few margaritas, and they were damn good margaritas at that. The bartender was attentive, and so was the wait staff (chips and salsa as soon as we hit the seats). We had a couple margs and shared the brisket tacos, which were pretty deelish. The salsas are also nice.
Only four stars cause, the decor is lacking any interest and it's a corporate franchise, it's hard for me to give five stars to a place that's a little too expensive and lacks soul.
I'll give a thumbs up for their mango margherita, but that's it. From the moment we arrived (a party of 4) there were issues as the hostess tried to figure out where she could seat us among the many open tables, several of which were apparently reserved. But the clodk was ticking till happy hour would end, so we just wanted a seat. The table service was very slow, and the food was not good. The description of their chile relleno (stuffed with raisins and other goodies) sounded mouth watering, but when it arrived it was mainly breading covering a small chile, stuffed only with plain cheese. For that price??? Â
If all you want is a drink, sure, go here. I won't be back.
Meh. Well...worse than meh.
Here's the thing. The food isn't very good and the prices are insanely high. Actually, the food was almost bad and the prices were out of control, BUT the service was pretty good and the chips and salsa were amazing, so there are your 3 stars.
When you first walk in you will notice bowls of avocados sitting on your table.
"OMG! I bet they make table side guacamole!" I exclaimed.
Well they sure do. For $10. Fuck that. $10 is too much for a tiny mini bowl of 2 avocados mixed with chili seasoning and onions. Unless I'm drunk or really hungry, which means I will buy anything. But I wasn't, so I didn't. No table side gauc for me.
Next, the main course. Everything on the menu is beef, pork, chicken or beef, pork, chicken and cream. What if you aren't a huge fatty and CARE about your health? What if you want fresh fish or veggies or if you want your beef/chicken/pork without cream. I guess I shouldn't have eaten that second bowl of tortilla chips, huh? Now I am on a fat rant.
So I order enchiladas - but for the love of god HOLD THE CREAM. The enchiladas were disappointing. I'd give them a C+ or maaaaaaybe a B- because they came on a bed of spinach. (interesting). Maybe the cream would have saved them but I don't think it is necessary to add cream to make a good enchilada, and neither do most Mexican restaurants with much better  ones. The enchiladas were at most bland and blah and not worth $14. I don't mind paying a lot for good Mexican Food, but this wasn't very good.
I was eating with fellow yelper Scott S. He had the chili relleno. He said is was below average.
By the way, their cheese enchiladas had CHUNKS of beef in the enchilada sauce. Mind you, these are a separate menu items from the beef enchiladas. So your choices are:
Enchiladas with beef
Enchiladas with cheese and secret beef, of which you become aware of after you bite in
Enchiladas with cheese, secret beef and cream
Blech. Die.
At least the iced tea was flowing and the chips and salsa were seiously kick ass.
Hmm... if I wasn't in a generous mood I might be tempted to take away another star. But I won't. Just like I probably won't be back.
So I have been lured back several times......
It's such a scam they suck you in with the fancy menu and these Fab chips and salsa, trust me after eating those you'd expect to the food to be pretty damn good, but NO ,to Quote Jenn H.  it is  "Blech. Die."
If and when I come back I'll stick to the chips and salsa, I also would usually order the table side gauc , but have found that they put such large chunks of onion and jalapeno it really takes away from it.......take your time chef and finely chop that shit!!
I'll give 5 stars for the chips and salsa
and 1.5 for the food, but you can't have both!
An upscale, 'Gourmet Mexican' restaurant with a very comfortable atmosphere - dressy but not 'snooty'.
For the Tequila drinker, they have a very well stocked bar with many premium Tequilas.
We found service to be very personable, our server was very friendly taking the time to make sure we understood the menu items and made good conversation while making some  of their 'top shelf' guacamole table side.
Gourmet Mexican is a good description, if your looking for an overstuffed burrito soaking in a bowl of melted cheese and refried beans, go somewhere else. Our dishes were very flavorful and nicely presented. My wife enjoyed her Carnitas so much she never bothered with the accompanying tortillas. Â Prices were reasonable for this level of cuisine.
Having moved down South several years ago, our favorite Mexican restaurant, Rancho Tia Rosas, in Mesa is a bit of a drive now, so we were glad to find Cantina Loredo so close to home. Will it replace Tia Rosas as our favorite, no, but it is a worthy alternative close by.
