Laredo Grill

Just tried to look at website /menu. Took me to a Groupon ad asked me for my email address and phone number. They said we're calling you now to verify your phone number after I press one to verify it's told me that they're charging some astronomical fee to my PayPal account. Jokes on you I close that PayPal account due to something similar in recent days so there's no PayPal account to charge to. I will not be at your restaurant because of this you need to get it fixed.

The first time I came here was to celebrate my birthday with a few co-worker girlfriends. The girls told them it was my birthday and they came out sang to me ,(I can't recall if this is where I got to wear a sombrero while they sang). We had a good time....Since then I have visited a few more times as it is in walking distance for me. It's a great place if you want to sip on a margarita on the patio which has a sort of tiki bar vibe at night with the lights...or come watch a match while eating the tasty Mexican & El Salvadoran cuisines. I've tired and enjoyed the ceviche, fajitas, pupusas and margaritas several times. I did not care for the nachos but it was a to-go order and sometimes that can really make a difference when you get nachos. The staff has always been welcoming and friendly. I recommend stopping by!

Yes, from the pastelitos to the costillas to the Cadillac margaritas, stopping for pupusas with tasty curtido (a cabbage slaw), EVERYTHING on the menu at Laredo Grill is great, but the seafood, particularly the pescado frito, the camerones rellenos, and the oysters on the half shell are standouts, so we tried the Salmon Campeche. It was lovely, and the sauce made their always delicious rice (yes, delicious rice) even tastier, but back to the oysters.OMG! We've been eating Laredo's fresh and perfectly shucked oysters on the half shell since we first found them on the specials board by the bar, and we love the nice job they do frying foods, e.g. the pescado frito and their taquitos rancheros, sooo... I asked if they would fry a dozen for us, knowing they would be freshly shucked and immediately fried. Let's just say they are the best in the county as far as we know, and better than at a lot of fancy downtown DC restaurants. Sad to finish them, but we'll be back. Soon. And maybe we'll bring friends and sit outside again and share a pitcher of those Cadillac margaritas, but they'll have to get their own fried oysters!

I was out and about and needed some delicious food to refuel. I didn't want anything fast, but a place to sit down and recharge. I stumbled upon this delicious spot! I was greeted by warm customer service and seated promptly.My waiter immediately brought out hot chips and salsa. The chips were fried to a delicious golden crisp, and the salsa was done in the style of a traditional pico de gallo, with lots of flavor! I placed an order for chicken enchiladas, and oh boy were they tasty!!! They came with pico, guacamole, sour cream, rice and refried beans! The enchiladas were so flavorful and savory! It reminded me of the enchiladas that I would eat when living out in Arizona (the enchiladas out there are pretty good my friend). I also doused some hot sauce over them, because your guy here loves heat on his food!!! I am really glad that I stopped at this place, and I honestly love the authentic food. I will be back here again to try more foods. Cheers to good eats!

Of all the outdoor dining places in the area that we have tried, I think Laredo Grill has the best set-up. They didn't have to put together some make-shift table and chairs on the sidewalk or parking lot with a few umbrellas. They already have a fantastic patio pre-pandemic. The huge outdoor seating area is under a roof with ceiling fans. Summer is only going to get hotter around here and if you're being careful about Covid and wanting to eat outside, this is the place. As for the food, it was pretty okay but as we all have our own personal favorite tex-mex place, it was hard not to compare. I ordered the mariscada (seafood stew) and it was fine. The menu said it would contain shrimp but mine did not. It had a lot more broth, tomatoes, and green peppers than seafood. We did have one friend who came later. We ordered his meal at least ten minutes before his arrival as the waitress suggested. When he did arrive shortly after, he ended up waiting over 40 minutes for his meal and it was incorrect. We ordered Steak and Chicken fajita but he got Steak and Shrimp. Not a big deal as there wasn't a difference in price but he was looking forward to to Steak and Chicken. Service was good other than having to wait over 40 minutes for one person. I did ask for no plastic straw in my drink and the waitress did remember. I can't tell you how many times people forget that request. And speaking of straws, it would be great if they did away with the use of plastics.

The fresh guacamole is fabulous! I love the chicken fajitas. I also recommend the steak and rib fajitas. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

My family and I came here for Mother's Day because my friends were praising this place and it's in my neighborhood. I was really excited to try this spot because who doesn't love some Mexican food. But, to my disappointment, this place did not reach my expectations: 1. They sat us in a corner on their outdoor patio, near their extra supplies, where no waitresses/waiters come. 2. We are vegetarian so when ordering we wanted to substitute some things with other veggies and they told us that it wasn't possible. 3. When we changed our mind on an entree, the waiter shook his head like he was annoyed - customers always change their mind when ordering and for the waiter to show that he was annoyed or disappointed was really uncalled for. 4. They took over an hour to bring out our food. We noticed that people who were seated after us got their food before us. 5. On top of taking forever to bring our food out, they messed up one order. We ended up just taking it because we were really hungry and we didn't want to wait another hour for them to fix it. 6. It was Mother's Day and we noticed every single customer, before and after us, got a rose except for us. Not sure it was dependent on the waiter serving us or how it was distributed, but we felt that we weren't treated the same as all the other customers. With all the flaws with their service, I was really hoping their food would overcome those flaws, but unfortunately, the food was mediocre. I do understand it was Mother's Day and very busy in such a small space, but they need to work on treating all customers the same and to bring the food in a timely manner. I would like to give this place another try when it's not busy but feeling iffy about that.

I've been here a few times and I really want to love this place but there were a couple of things I was slightly disappointed with. We felt like we were a little invisible while dining here. I don't need to connect or be best friends with the servers, but we felt like I had to grab the attention for a menu, for extra salsa, for another round of drinks, etc.They have indoor and outdoor dining, tons of parking. Food was good and margaritas weren't the best! Unfortunately it's not a place I'm dying to go back to.

Two stars for the super nice customer service and for the salsa. That's pretty much it. The place looks nice but it's actually not crowded on the inside. You actually have Hispanic waiters which is also a plus but the food... The food is TexMex at best! I find that to be awfully weird. My friend feeling very BLAH about the whole dinner. The salsa was great, but not over $65 great. The menu is extremely oversaturated and with many things that all seem to be pretty much the same with the exception of one or two items. A large order of guacamole guarantees you about a cup and a half of blended avacados. That's it. Nothing more. We didn't leave hungry, but if we wanted a ton of refried beans tasteless rice and HandFuls of cheese we could've stayed home. We won't be back.

This is my second time at this particular restaurant and I can say I've been quite happy both times. I'll start with the negatives, since there's so few of them.First and only really, its cold... this is only because of the outdoor dining though otherwise no issue. They try to offset it with heaters but they can really only do so much. The last time we were here was pre pandemic and I can tell you if you're indoors you're fine so this is really just a nitpicky thing. Now on to the positives, There's a really wide selection of cuisine. Things you'd typically expect to find. Your staples. And some interesting things you may not always see which is a relief. I ended up going with my favorite go-to for these places Fajitas. Everything was quite lovely, though my steak was well done I'm not personally a huge fan of that but it was still edible and I was happy with it. The drinks are great, margaritas on the rocks are wonderful. My girlfriend got a frozen one and said it was watery until she got a little ways in so buyer beware, the frozen may take some time to find the tequila. All in all a good experience even in covid, and they seem to be doing good business still so good for them! Cheers all, enjoy your meal!
