Casa Lopez Tapas Bar

Exquisite Spanish food. Absolutely the best!The best entertainment musicians on stage and the best romantic setting anywhere!I truly love this place! Fantastic service too.Very reasonable pricing! A must experience to enjoy!If ever possible 6 out of 5 stars!

This place is a hidden gem. Its a hole in the wall tapas bar in the rough side of town. Great place to have a drink, but bad place to have a meal. Ive been there 6-8 times but have only ordered food twice. The first was a big disappointment, but I gave it another chance recently since the first time I ordered they had recently opened. Well, let me tell you what, the second time was a big disappointment, too. We ordered the jamón serrano and cheese tapa plate first. The portion was minuscule paper thin slice of jamon and manchego. Barely enough for a one, but no way for a couple. Next the paella showed up. It was lackluster and flavorless with them having no clue of what the national dish of Spain should consist of. The rice was bland without a hint of saffron color or smoked paprika, garlic, parsley etc. The dish was missing lots of flavor along with lots of missing seafood, pork and chicken. I didn't get a picture because of the dim lighting but it didnt merit a picture. Also, the waiter didnt give us bread to go with the paella. What kind of Spanish restaurant doent give bread with the paella. The sangria is good and the atmosphere is decent for being Laredo. I'll be back for sangria but I'll have dinner before going there again. Salud!

Can't get over how chill and relaxing this place is. An old warehouse from the 1800's turned into an amazing rustic true Spanish Vibe. Live music all evening long.

Just discovered this hidden gem. Reasonable prices, good food and wine, interesting decor. Only negative, it is in a sketchy neighborhood in the historic district. My friend is from Laredo, so she knew the area well, but it looked very scary to me. Usually they have someone monitoring the blocks around the restaurant.They are only open a few days a week. Live entertainment starts around 8:30. Give it a try!

Amazing atmosphere! The live music and entertainment are just exquisite. There is an authentic Spanish feel to the restaurant, as well as the food. The tapas and entrees are delicious. The sangria is amazing, I highly recommend the pitcher because it's just delicious!

Wow. Mix bag here. We showed up here for Vday and place didn't look like much from outside. You'd mistake it as an abandoned warehouse. Luckily they realize this and they had security guards with flash lights that direct you to parking and let you know your in the right place. When you get to door and open you are wowed in a very positive way. When you walk it's very authentic. I'd give decor a 1,000,000 out of 10. Ive been to Spain and this place has that feel. Aside from decor it allWent down hill. I'll warn you for what seemed like a well staffed place the speed here was slow. Our appetizer was literally four slices of cheese and two slices of cured ham. It took literally 45 minutes to come out. Our dinner total of 4 courses with Paella with seafood, chicken and pork was highlight. It was good but everything was okay. Nothing was bad which is why I gave 3 stars plus decor and ambience. (Great live music) if you want a 5 experience? Honestly. Eat a good meal and come and have nothing else to do and enjoy live dancing or music and have low expectations on service but when I compare this against Tabernilla locally in Jacman and Loop 20 Tabernilla is 1,000 times better. What makes it better is service and also mainly filling tapas. I get tapas is tapas--I've had it in Spain, California and NYC but Tabernilla does it right. Anyways. This place can be so much more. Crowd here has the typical Border Foundry crowd. Waiter never asked how we were and filled our drinks...just sad.Edit: wow management makes fake accounts to lift their rating. Sad. As somebody that's done hundreds of reviews across the country that's sad to see. What you see above is reality of the experience.

First time here and we fell in love. Great live music and the decor is outstanding. The theme is bullfighting. Great Spanish food. This is not Mexican or Tex-Mex this is Authentic Spanish food.

The coolest spot - it looks quaint on the outside then you walk inside and it's a whole different world music, service, food and the owner Juan was amazing and gave us a personal tour ! Totally impressed from a traveling foodie - You have to go Check it out !!!!

Visiting Laredo - Wow, what a terrific place hidden in Laredo, TX. I felt transported to Madrid, Spain. Great selection of adult beverages, Tapas menu was excellent, and just the vibe was something that will have me coming back for sure. Highly recommended this place which I hardly recommend any place.

Great location and setting.Service was exceptional and meals were terrific.We will return and it had a production company from Monterey the night we visited and felt special.
