Laredo's Grill

A really fun spot to watch UT football games -- I'm not even an alum, but had a great time with friends who are. They worked with the UT Austin alumni group, Puget Sound Tex Exes, to open the space extra early for the big UT-OU rivalry game. With kickoff at 9AM, they had a line out the door at 8AM. It's a real gathering hub and they even have Shiner on tap for a true taste of Texas! The food here is pretty solid Tex-Mex as well, the chips and salsa were delicious and the staff even gave us a guac on the house. The breakfast tacos were delicious and the chile con queso was DELICIOUS. A great gameday atmosphere, I'd go back for the food too!

I am not sure if the restaurant had an off night but we didn't have a great experience.One positive was the queso was amazing. Super spicy and homemade. We ordered three margaritas and I am not sure if there was actually any tequila in them. They were pre mixed in bar as they were not on the rocks. So maybe it was the bottom or something? The food with the exception of the queso came out cold and didn't taste very good. The service was marginal. I had empathy for the server as they were understaffed.

I was waiting for the hockey game to start so I ventured over here to get some Mexican food. I really wish I didn't go here I ordered nachos and they Bailey warmed the cheese which didn't melt.

More like 3.5 but rounding up! Me and my friends went for cinco de mayo and the ambiance was great. Not sure if it is always this lively or if the holiday brought everyone in, but there were so many people in there drinking and having a good time. The nachos were really good! Definitely add the carne asada onto it, it was really well seasoned and super tender. Also, I love how they layered their refried beans on the bottom layer of the nachos. The service was good. It was super busy and loud in there for Cinco de mayo so I think mistakes are bound to happen. First, one of our drink orders was wrong. But, our server corrected it immediately and we were able to keep the wrong drink. Then, we didn't get our chips and queso dip. And the server didn't come over until we were done eating the nachos so, there was no time really to request the chips and queso be brought over. Our server was super nice about it once we were able to let her know and offered them to us free of charge. Based on this, I think the service is pretty good and they seem like they care about customer satisfaction. Again, I think it was just busy and loud so mistakes happen.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday around 5 pm and it was pretty crowded, but no wait. There was a UT football game on. The ambiance was loud and it was hard to talk. We ordered chips and salsa, nachos, and a fajita quesadilla. Everything was just ok. Most of the chips were broken into small pieces. Green salsa was good though. Service was fine. Street parking.

Food was pretty good! Our poor waitress, Shannon, was horrible. I don't know if she was having a bad day or just had a chip on her shoulder but she was awful. Took forever to get her attention, seemed forced to try and smile and I swear I saw her roll her eyes at us. Had to try to get her attention to get our needs met and she seemed annoyed. Also, we had to PAY for chips and salsa?? Maybe it's a Seattle thing but but just wow.

This was our first time here. I ordered the house margarita which was perfect, I ordered the steak deluxe enchilada. It was very flavorful. It came with the sour cream and gauc and picco. I checked into yelp and got a conplamentary chili con queso. It was delicious. My son ordered a cheese quesadilla and it was huge. He enjoyed it and it came with pickled jalapeños. My other son got shrimp tacos. The herb butter paired very well with the red sauce and crème on the top. The truck stop dinner was pure Tex mex - tasty brisket chili on cheese enchilada. Shannon was our server and was very friendly. The ambience provided a great setting for the restaurant.

We came on Cinco De Mayo and of course there was live music blaring so loudly you could not hear a thing, lol. Chill Vibes inside. The Skinny Jalapeño Margarita ($10) was light and refreshing with a kick, and the steak enchilada plate ($18.50) was nice - BF noted the sauce on top being very marinara - like.Cool staff.

I made a reservation ahead of time and we got right in (even after calling to let them know we'd be a little late). Service was quick and delicious.

We are 2 diners of the 6 people in the restaurant. The service was absolutely indifferent. The food was flavorful but not enough to make you feel like coming back. I can get ignored and legit $4.00 street tacos in other places. You sit down to no chips or salsa or even a hello. Why bother?
