Went to try out laredos bar and grill on exit 13 across from the Avenues. Great service and great food . Who ever the cook is great being unique with the creation and style of taste of food. they have good music playing and service are great and the working are fun to talk to. The drinks are awesome. Deff will make this my weekly spot to come on the weekends to enjoy with my family and friends .
Review Source:Being relatively new to Yelp, I haven't yet had the urge to review everyday places like Subways or Quiktrips, but I kind of feel that way reviewing Laredos. It was okay as far as the usual Mexican place goes. Service there was really good, my waitress and all the employees that passed by were great. The restaurant is clean, music was lively, and overall had  a good feel to it. Prices were okay. I had the Chile Poblano, it missed on spice and flavor, but made up somewhat with an above average amount of good melting cheese. Tortillas did not come with the poblano, and $1.25 was added when i asked for them. Cheese Enchilada was pretty good. The typical rice and beans accompaniments were the biggest misses of the meal. Both completely lacked flavor. Laredos is ok, but definitely not the best in the area. Not great, not bad, slightly "meh" but extra points for service and atmosphere. I left feeling full and my wallet left $13 lighter. I guess after this, I won't feel so bad reviewing Taco Bell.
Review Source:This is low-end Mexican food. The food is bland, not prepared or presented well. The service was good, but everything else was below what you expect from a cliche Mexican food establishment. Even with buy one, get one coupons, I doubt we will return. There are too many good Mexican restaurants less than a 5 minute's drive from here.
Review Source:I took my daughters here for a quick early-ish supper. Â I can't properly express how truly awful the food was. Â My 10 yo described her undercooked tamale as having the consistency of cream cheese; she was being kind, bless her heart. Â The meat sauce would have worked just abut as well on spaghetti. Â In an area filled with "El Something or Other" ho-hum, me too Mexican places, this one is at least memorable.
This place aspires to be as good as Old El Paso, but I suspect that's shooting too high. Â
The server was nice, however.
Had dined here once about a year ago and decided to give it another chance. Â Started with a house Margarita. Â The waitress asked what flavor I wanted but did not tell me there was an additional charge to get a flavored one. Â Not mentioned on the drink menu either. Â It was about a buck more not a big deal but should have been asked. Â
The food took forever to get to our table - it was 7:00pm on a Wednesday night and I think we were 1 of three tables. Â The food was very uneventful. Â There are many restaurants in the area with better food and much better service. Â Once we were ready to leave we had our check and spotted the waitress hanging out at the bar with her boyfriend. Â We had to go ask another server to check us out. Â Needless to say we will not come back. Â Very sad as this is a great location right across from the Avenues.
I think some of the star ratings for this restaurant have been a little low.
No, it's not high end Mexican fare, but for what it is, I think it's pretty darn good. My daughter and I started with Queso with jalenpenos, which was very good. We asked for flour tortillas to go with it, and they came nicely warm. We both had a lunch menu item, Chicken Chimichangas with rice and beans. Â It also was very good, if not a little too large a portion. Â The server was very accomadating to my quirky request of very, very diluted tea(Teawa if you will), and the service in general was first rate. Â I'll be back many more times, and maybe next time it will get 2 or 3 stars...but this time it rated a 4!
ho hum...that's what i felt like when l left Laredo's. Â not really much more to it. Â I ordered the "speedy gonzalez" lunch menu item. Â I came solo - which made the dining experience even more ho-hum. Â Good thing is that I paid $5 for this lunch. Â Speedy Gonzalez (i hate that name!) came with 1 enchilada, 1 chicken or beef taco and rice and beans. Â They did have a nice chipotle salsa that had a kick to it. Â Other plus - waitress was really nice and service was great. Â Would i come back for Monday night karaoke (yes they do have it here)? probably not. Â But i got my quick "cheesy mexican-so-bad-for-you-but-who-cares" meal. Â
ho-hum...
Upon walking in I was truly convinced I had found my new mexican spot complete with a colorful interior and sparkling clean bar to my surprise I was disappointed. Â All started out well when I received my chips and salsa delcious. I had to work so was unable to sample a margarita although I don't think I'll go back even for the margaritas. Â I ordered a cheese quesadilla...how can you screw up a cheese quesadilla you say? Easy. Â The cheese. Â They used the cheese that hardens when you melt it which is unbearable to eat. Â Needless to say I was not impressed. Â On the upside the service was friendly and the restaurant is pretty nice.
Review Source:Stacy G. is correct in calling it samey. Â No surprises here. Â I had an enchilada plate with about a half a head of shredded lettuce spread over the top. Â Who REALLY wants vegetation juice sogging down their enchiladas, honestly? Â Not me. Â They were fine once I de-saladized them, though. Â My mom's nachos were okay by her, but apparently nothing too exciting.
They have Mr. Pibb on tap.
I was not a fan of the salsa.
It'll cost you about $1-2 more than El Porton per entree, I'd estimate.
You know what south Forsyth needs? Another Mexican restaurant! Yeah! We'll put it in a strip mall, cool! We'll create a menu with authentic Mexican cuisine... things like 'Speedy Gonzalez' and 'Special Numero 1'. Perfect! Then we'll offer free chips and salsa when patrons arrive. How could anyone resist this new and unique dining experience?
