    Chimichanga with rice beans & salad
    Whitney B.

    This was my second time coming to this location. I know that it was cinco de mayo so of course I knew the restaurant was going to be packed and I expected an extensive wait time. Overall, the customer service was terrible and the food was terrible. We got on the waitlist and waited approximately 30-40 minutes for a table which was fine and to be expected. Upon being seated we got our menus right away and received our beverages. Upon putting our food orders in it took about 15 minutes to revive our food which was bad considering that it was cinco de mayo and the restaurant was packed. The quantity of the food is good for the price but the quality of the food is terrible. My friend ordered a steak and the first one was cooked so well to the point she could not cut it. When sending it back to the kitchen the waiter brought out another one and it was still raw. It is clear that the food is terrible the beans taste as if they were poured right out of the can. Overall the food was tasteless and I am surprised that this restaurant is still in business. After putting our margarita drink orders in they arrived to the table in a stirofoam cup meanwhile all the other tables had actual margarita glasses. The margaritas tasted like straight alcohol and crushed ice and could not even taste the mango or strawberry flavor. Our waiter was Luis and he rushed us with everything , our food order, drink order, and everything else that we asked for. Overall we received terrible customer service and a terrible experience. I do not recommend this location.

    Yes, there's a Burritos Deluxe ($8.25) up under all that lettuce. Lettuce Deluxe is more like it!

    Laredo is an Auburn institution, existing for somewhere between 2-3 decades. The old guard will remember its much cozier/tighter location a little down Opelika Road, closer to the mall. Their Tex-Mex grub is not a revelation but it's not bad and the prices are way reasonable. My standby is the burritos deluxe ($8.25), namely since you get a chicken and a beef burrito. Perfect for me who wants it all. The chicken can be a tad dry but the "gravy" and sour cream and cheese help remedy that issue. Frankly, I don't think you can go wrong with any entree that involves cheese in some manner. Speaking of, get the cheese dip for your table to accompany the complimentary chips and salsa. The service is fine. Most folks are pretty polite and attentive, though some lean aloof. Roomy parking lot.

    Strawberry margarita and mango margarita really good with adequate amount of alcohol in order to get you a little buzz. Really laid-back and sociable environment. Social distancing implemented. Staff kept you up to date on wait time!

    Texas Nachos minus tomato

    I am extremely pleased with our visit to Laredo. Fresh hot chips and amazing blended salsa (great for my family since they prefer the blended thin salsa versus the thick chunky salsa) were brought out to our table upon being sat. The salsa had tons of flavor, fresh cilantro, and it was perfect consistency for our taste. The cheese dip was the perfect thick creamy consistency that coated the chips amazingly. When you place your order, request the spicy/hot salsa. It is absolutely amazing. So spicy and absolutely perfect addition to anything on your plate. The meat served at Laredo is different but delicious, on the Texas Nachos the chicken was grilled fajita type chicken, however almost like it is cooked in some sauce, the steak was a great flavor and extremely tender, and the shrimp were fresh and had great flavor. The beans and rice are homemade, and the beans had great flavor and you can definitely tell they are homemade. Overall the service was amazing, the food was amazing, and we will definitely be back every time we go visit.

    Service - above average, very friendly Food - pretty good for Mexican food in Auburn. I would highly recommend the chimichanga!! I had enough leftover for lunch the next day. Try the queso since there are unlimited chips for the table; you will not be disappointed. Drinks - I forgot which day we went but margaritas were half off so my drink was less than $5. Not watered down by any means which I appreciated.

    After driving all day, I just wanted a drink and some comfort food. This was close to the hotel and…read morehad better ratings than the other two Hispanic food places in town. I ordered the house marg (always a good barometer of a place), and they brought out a nice chalice and some chips and salsa while I looked over the menu. Chips were warm, salsa was spicy and cool - perfect temperatures! The dining room is mostly multi-top tables scattered in rows. Families, couples, and other groups were scattered around. There was a sports team of 9-12 year-old boys and their families eating at one long double table which was a bit rowdy, but not overly so for that age. Didn't really bother me, but I have lived through that age, and had kids that I'd take out as well. I've been to louder fast food joints on a late Spring Saturday night. The bar service person was friendly and answered my questions about different food combos. I eventually selected the birria tacos, and they came out in maybe five minutes, hot, and accompanied by a nice bowl of soup/sauce for dipping. I dove in and forgot to take pictures, it was so good. If you've not had birria before, it's a meat cooked in broth. Then the meat is placed in a partially cooked tostada, folded and grilled. Think a taco with warm ingredients, instead for cold items put into a cooked shell. You dip them in the liquid the meat was cooked in, kinda like an au jus sandwich. It's great! Birria is originally from Jalisco, MX, (home of ranchero music and tequila, so they know something!) and was made from goat, because the Spanish gave the peasants goats. Stewing made the tough meat better. But now it's usually beef. I'd definitely return if I were back in the area. I was here to celebrate a family birthday. It was a nice way to end a tiring day.

The description read like a burrito supreme, but it was a gummy concoction of rice with very few beans and pieces of steak and a tiny little bit of cheese. I cut it open and just ate a little bit of steak. The guacamole and sour cream that came with it were in a thimble size containers. The guacamole was tasteless and so thin it was almost a soup, the sour cream was OK. The cheese dip was very thin and tasteless. The salsa was OK, but the chips were stale. I ordered a virgin margarita which also appeared to be watered down and I was charged $7.25 like it contained alcohol. I spent $40 and was so incredibly disappointed. If I had not been with a friend, I would have sent the meal back and I should have. I just didn't want to cause a scene.

As I was paying the cashier he told me my total was $23 and some change. The cashier handed me my receipt to sign, and I saw that the total was $35. When I asked why, I was told there was a car charge. I looked at the receipt and sure enough, there was the car charge x'3 for two orders and I guess the third order was the chips and salsa that came with the meal. I told the cashier Why am I being charged almost $11 for a car charge for using my gas to come and pick up my own order? No answer. I got the food home and it was COLD. I will not be going back. Watch your receipts people!
