If there is one thing I would tell EVERY Laredo restaurant is "Lower the volume of the music"! We couldnt talk across the table and hear ourselves. I dont know what the deal is with the owner/manager that they dont have the common sense to lower the music. Very annoying.

Oh, and the prices are reasonable, and the Rocks Margaritas are very good too. I will be back.

There are bars on every window and a bit rundown down but the parking lot had a ton of cars. That speaks volumes! We were greeted and told we could sit anywhere, other than reserved spots since there was a band starting at 8pm. The band was a huge plus. They brought chips and salsa and we ordered some margaritas. Just a note, they don't do Cadillac. The were good, not great. Same with the Pina Colada. My husband ordered the crispy tacos and I the tres enchiladas with a salad. The salad was all iceberg lettuce with an interesting dressing with a tangy flair. The enchiladas were good but the beans dried out. My husband wasn't crazy about the tacos. We stayed for the band which consisted of one guy. Regardless, he was fun and did all genres of music. Overall, it was a great first night experience. Thanks Charlie! We enjoyed metting you too!

Mind you, I had originally looked at the menu online and was going to order a chile relleno with shrimp, but once I got there and had the menu at hand I ended up ordering three things: the ceviche Casazul, guacamole tradicional, and the tuna tostada callejera. The ceviche came with blue corn tortadas and was very fresh and citrusy, with the lime really shining through while still balancing nicely with the other flavors. It was my first time seeing ceviche with carrots and corn, it also had cucumber and red onion, and it worked really well. The guacamole was simple and classic. A good portion, lightly seasoned with salt accompanied by warm blue corn tortillas, and honestly, what else do you really need from a traditional guacamole? The tuna tostada callejera was the star of the show. The flavors were bright and fresh, with morita mayo, a generous amount of avocado, and crispy leeks that brought everything together into such a delicious combination. They also brought out chips made from toasted blue and regular corn tortillas with two salsas. The salsa macha was flavorful and had a good amount of spice. The tomatillo salsa tasted more citrusy and salty to me than spicy. It was not bad, just not really my preference. The blue exterior makes the building hard to miss, and the inside is quite lovely, a Modern Mexican aesthetic. There is plenty of seating at the bar and at tables both inside and outside, although of course I chose inside because of the AC. Service was fast and efficient. Shoutout to Amador, who patiently explained to my incredulous self that the dishes on the "Mordidas & Probaditas" side of the menu were half off because of the time I walked in. They also have a full bar, so there are plenty of options if you want to stay for drinks as well. Overall, the food was high quality, fresh, and really tasty. I would definitely recommend Casazul if you are looking for a good meal in Laredo.

An average size restaurant with an outdoor patio for additional seating and possibly for a small party or group outing.

I ordered agua fresca de pepino (cucumber lemonade), and they brought it to me with a side of thin tostadas, warm green salsa, garlic mayo, lime and a side of drinking consommé. For a starter I got the shrimp ceviche with tostadas, and filet of tilapia a la Veracruz. Everything was very tasty! I loved the ceviche which had mango in it! Also, the agua fresca came in a huge glass, much more than I could drink during a meal so I got a to-go container for that in addition to my more-than-enough meal.
