    Came here for a work event. The service was phenomenal for hosting 21 people. They have a small private room, but the seating is pretty tight for 21 people. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Food was pretty good. Happy hour specials are available. $7.50 house margaritas were a thumbs up. They can and will sneak up on you. They offer table side guacamole, offer chips and salsa for the table. Even queso. I ordered a small house salad. The cilantro lime vinegar dressing is a must. Fajitas were good (chicken), nothing special. Ordered chocolate brownie and ice cream to go. Both good as well. Average Mexican cuisine. Not incredibly expensive.

    This is considered upscale Mexican food and it WAS upscale in regard to decor, service (Tory was AMAZING!), food (the relleno de camarones had layers of flavors!! and the salsa was on point), and drinks (the cucumber chili marg was crisp & refreshing ). The only un-upscale part of the meal was the fly buzzing around my food.

    I have to start this review by first complementing Luci! First impression speaks volumes and this is $1 million hostess here! Her humor, genuine, smile, and professionalism go beyond reproach! Logan was our server and I have to say he was great! Very patient as the four of us kept talking and he wanted to know if we were ready to order and when we realized we were talking so much he just handled it like a true champ. Gave us our time to catch up and then came back. His knowledge of the menu was outstanding, and his recommendations were spot on. Each of us interestingly enough had tacos. The traditional taco was a bit salty from my taste, but had good flavor. The sirloin taco was outstanding. The restaurant is clean, warm and inviting. What really sets it off though is the outstanding customer service received by Logan and Luci!!! They truly made this a special visit

    I attended a friends birthday party at Cantina Laredo in early March. We had the entire patio to ourselves. Our server Ali was fabulous! We had two tables of folks and she kept up with our food and drink orders like a champ (and with a smile)! I tried the ceviche and it was zesty and delish! The table made guac was fabulous, smooth and creamy. We also had a large variety of tacos which were also tasty. I highly recommend stopping in and giving them a try!

    My 1st visit to Cantina Laredo. It was a friends Birthday. Set up was in a protected side of patio which was perfect on the windy Sunday afternoon. Our server Alli was so awesome. She prepared table side several orders of Guacamole with special.l request. Served a tray full of Margaritas for a Birthday Toast. And then more drinks as we all love to celebrate! Then came an array of Tacos with beans and rice. All was delicious. I can't wait to return!

    We came for a work lunch with about 20 of us. We had the private room off the dining room which had plenty of space for us. The service was quick for a group our size but most of the restaurant was slow since it was a Friday afternoon around 1:30. They had a good selection of different options on the lunch menu and the pricing was good for the portion sizes. A lot of us got enchiladas and tacos and a fair amount got the Chipotle chicken. The waiter was on his A game and got all food and drink orders correct which can be tricky with a large group. Nothing to complain about- we had a really good lunch

    Always a great stop during shopping at town center. The chips and salsa are delicious. The bar tender is always attentive and busy! During the weekday lunch time it's not too busy. Recommend sitting at the bar for fast service!

    Cantina Laredo is one of my favorite places to eat. When we lived in Jacksonville, one of my friends introduced me to this wonderful restaurant and I fell in love with it. I love that you get a warm and cold salsa (warm is my favorite of the two) and my favorite dish is the Enchiladas Suizas. I don't live near here anymore but any time I see one (I spotted one in Dallas airport before) I make it a point to stop in and eat. The service is always good (table side quac!) and the atmosphere is always on point. Truly one of my favorite places! The picture I've added was my birthday brownie from my last visit!

    This is our third try one time every year for the last three years to see if this place has improved. Why? Because we are Texas Tex-Mex fans, and we love their restaurants in Arkansas and in Texas. But the one here in Jacksonville leaves me speechless and not in a good way. I recall writing a Google review over five years ago about how outdated and dirty this restaurant was. Nothing has changed. After five years, nothing has changed. It's still dirty and in need of a desperate renovation. It makes me sad because they are sitting on a gold mine being located in St. John's Town Center with Jacksonville having no higher end Mexican food restaurant. And that's what this restaurant is in other states. They keep the crowd coming in because of its location, but the ambience and the decor and the food are severely lacking. Our waitress was fantastic. And the manager was good because she did address our concerns. However, I only took one picture because I was so exasperated and that is of this dish. I requested the pork Carnitas to be substituted for a fresh grilled chicken breast. Please look at the chicken. Not only is it not a fresh grilled chicken breast, but it's a pressed chicken breast - not a real chicken breast . It's more like a deli meat chicken breast cubed into my dish. All I had to do is look at it and send it back immediately. We also enjoyed the cheese dip and the tableside guacamole. The cheese dip was not true cheese dip, but rather a cheese dip mixture. But I have to give kudos because the tableside guacamole always rocks. It was delicious. Here's to hoping that the restaurant sees my yelp review. Bring back the Cantina Laredo quality that I know from other states. Return to your high dining upscale Mexican experience. Update your decor and cash in on the true Cantina Laredo offering!

    I came here for happy hour with my husband and a friend on a Friday evening. It was not too crowded. Their happy hour is mon- Friday 4-7 PM. They serve happy hour food and drinks at the bar and happy hour drinks anywhere else around the restaurant. You get free chips and salsa. The atmosphere was nice and service was quick. Not a bad place for fun happy hour experience!

    Hey, guess what? Cantina Laredo has an awesome patio! A bunch of my friends went there this month and loved it. We were tucked away in a quiet corner, tons of room, and didn't bother anyone else. They treated us great, starting with margaritas for a toast. Then, fresh guacamole at our table, amazing ceviche and tacos with all sorts of various meats and gorgeous garden toppings plus rice and beans. Seriously, they were fantastic, and I'd totally go back. They even offer $2 Mimosas and $2 Great Bloody Marys!

We were immediately impressed when we went in; lots of dark wood and a long bar with shelves and shelves of spirits. There were mostly bourbons and whiskeys. They even had a rolling ladder so bartenders could reach top-shelf bottles. We had about a 10 minute wait for a table on a Saturday for lunch. The time went by quickly and we were seated at a small wooden table. Our server, Erin, approached us quickly and took our drink orders. I ordered a Blue Moon and my husband had the WC Old-Fashioned. It was made with Evan Williams 1783 Bourbon and he said it was quite good. ($13). For food; I had the Rooster Royale which was a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and hot honey BBQ sauce. It was $16.50, and one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Even the bun was delicious! I'd planned on only eating half; but I ended up eating it all because it was so good. I also had the homemade chips which were yummy too. My husband had the Reuben which was $19. He said it was really tasty and full of meat. He commented that it didn't get "mushy" or fall apart. He had the crispy potatoes as his side and he raved about those too. We really enjoyed our meal at Whiskey Cake and would definitely return. The only drawback I can think of is that they don't seem to have very many healthy lo-cal options.

First I have to commend Christina, who was our server. A table of eight, she managed us with such grace, professionalism, and outstanding service! With a constant smile on her face, she asked us open questions and was very attentive. Not once did I have to ask for an iced tea refill because she was staying on top of it! The menu, though short with options did have a creative variety. We all tried the cinnamon roll, which I have to say was beyond, and I do mean beyond outstanding. In fact, it was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had with the toasted pecans and the sauce. WOW!! I ended up with the pancakes and eggs, and the eggs were cooked perfectly! The pancakes were were thick and had good flavor. It was a little overcooked for what I prefer, but overall, it was very good. Looking at the other options of what friends were having the food looked amazing. I am not a bacon eater, but one of our table mates had a bacon dish that she said was phenomenal. I will definitely be back

While reservations are required, Laura the owner , was gracious enough to let us get transported to this wonderful place you see here. First off, this place is everything! The details from ceiling to wall to all the fixtures, it's very immersive, you are in the islands sir or ma'am! Goodbye Jacksonville! We were seated up front where performer Kalani Rose set the mood and infused the air with her lovely voice. The tempo was upbeat, the volume was just right, allowing for intimate conversation and lively chatter alike. Great for date nights and group outings. We ordered food including Aloha Sliders, Huli Huli Wings , and Furikake Fries. Food was good, would've loved more of the glaze on the mini burgers tho! The drinks we ordered included Mai Tai (rum based w/ orange ) and Halekulani (bourbon with pineapple orange and lemon) , these were delicious. A bit on pricey side but strong!

Just some information to know it is primarily a bar, they only have about 6 appetizers to order from. The appetizers were good and came out very quickly. The first thing that caught my attention was the amount of times they put food down at our table we did not order after about the 3rd or 4th time of this happening it seemed to be something they do to up the bill in hopes you don't notice. The second thing that thoroughly surprised and bothered me was after ordering another round of drinks, the second the drink was put at our table the waitress came over to check us out. No one had asked for the bill so we were all confused as to why we were being told we needed to close out, especially since we had just ordered more drinks. The waitress tells our party they have another reservation coming and they need our table... We all scramble quickly to leave so there's no issue and once we were outside that's when we realized there was no time limit on our table nor did anyone ask to close out the tab. Thankfully the hula dancers and our own group made the experience great however this place is very clearly a money grab and should not be accepting more reservations than can be handled as it completely ruined the end of our experience.
