    Our family ate here on our last night on vacation. So much better than all the other places we have been this week! We wish we found it earlier because we would be back. I wish more Mexican restaurants served their food so authentically. Queso and special smash burger sauce are delish. Smash burger looked awesome and my son loved it. If we come back to Destin we will be back! Wonderfully family owned spot.

    A true authentic taste of Mexico while also feeling like apart of the family. This family run local spot also features an epic Strawberry Lemonade bucket cup, Mexican Coke, and dine in table's. Good luck not falling in love with the owner's and hoping they adopt you into their family. Enjoy!

    Awesome!

    We came here all the way from Birmingham, AL and had the BEST smash burgers and horchata in our lives! We wish we had this place in Birmingham. The staff was super friendly!

    Too good to stop to take photos!

    Amazing food. We tried this place for dinner and liked it so much that went back the following morning for breakfast! Dinner: Had the beef street tacos and the chicken enchiladas with the salsa verde and both tasted great. The salsa verde was delicious and had some spice but didn't kill you. Breakfast: we tried the Huevos Rancheros and the Chilaquiles. Both spectacular!! This is a family owned restaurant and everything is made fresh. Owners are very friendly. I highly recommend. We ate everything so fast that didn't think about taking pictures until we had already finished!

    Excellent Mexican food operated by a sweet family from Austin, TX. I ordered the carne guisada. It was delicious as was the beans and rice. My husband ordered the street tacos. They were perfectly seasoned and I ate one and enjoyed the fresh cilantro and onions. My husband also ordered a horchata. I took a sip and it was heavenly. The sweet lady who took our order was friendly and helpful. I love how she even had her children helping. Forget the chain restaurants and give Papi's a try!

    Horchata was legit The crispy tacos and chicken burrito were delicious! The venue is small yet all the tables full.

    Crispy taco, Papi's Burrito, Green and red salsa and fresh made tortilla chips!

    Boy, I tell you what, it is great to have a family run Tex-Mex place here in Destin! The food has fabulous flavors, especially the green and red salsa and the tacos and burritos were amazingly fresh and zesty Susan was absolutely terrific and the entire staff there gives you a neighborhood "Cheers" atmosphere. Every day they have a different special and Fridays it is smash burgers I went with the Papi's burrito and crispy taco... Excellent! Furthermore, they don't waste time on delivering your food!

    4 street taco special (with pork and all offered toppings)

    When i entered this restaurant i was immediately greeted and given a menu! They have a classic mexican style menu that has a good handful of tasty options. They gave me this super good green salsa that was to die for. i ordered the 4 street taco entree and they did not disappoint! The restaurant was very clean and put together, you can tell that it is new but i definitely wouldn't consider that a bad thing! The staff were wonderful, my waiter was excellent and very personable. i did see that they offer "fiesta meals" which i see as a catering option so i will definitely be coming back and ordering for any big events!

    Now I understand why this restaurant has such great reviews. We were on the hunt for something good…read moreto eat and happened to stumble upon this spot, so glad we did. We chose to sit outside, and while the service was great, the food was even better. For starters, I had the orange margarita (recommended by our waiter), and wow, it was delicious. I've never had one quite like it. For my entrée, I ordered a mix of three tacos, and each one was packed with flavor. The only downside was the number of tiny flies outside, they kept finding their way into my drink. Not sure if that's typical, but I'd probably opt to sit inside next time because of it. That said, the food and overall experience were really great, and I'd definitely recommend checking this place out!

We stood there for a while trying to figure out if we needed to seat ourselves or if we should wait on somebody. We were finally noticed and directed to a table. After being seated they brought us chips and salsa. For the most part, I love chips at a Mexican restaurant! They're always so thin and crispy and taste fresh. I guess you can go wrong in some instances, but these were PERFECT! Thin, crisp, and salted. And the salsa was just right. It wasn't too spicy. I ended up ordering the quesadilla and my partner ordered a combination plate. Her combination plate had a tamale that she didn't want so I took it. I can say that the tamale tasted like it came out of a can. It was not authentic at all. I can't go wrong with the quesadilla that's pretty much my go-to. She really enjoys her tacos and she said they were pretty good. Overall the food was okay.

    We were in Destin, FL on a family vacation and decided to visit Cantina Laredo with a party of 14…read more I had called ahead hoping to make a reservation, but was told they don't take reservations, so we expected a pretty long wait when we arrived. To our surprise, the staff was incredibly accommodating. The patio was full, but they were able to seat our entire group in a private dining room. It ended up being even better than we expected--quiet, comfortable, and perfect for a large family gathering. Our server did an outstanding job throughout the evening. Managing a table of 14 people is no easy task, but he was attentive, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly from start to finish. We started with three orders of the tableside guacamole, and it was a huge hit. Watching the server prepare it fresh right at our table made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was excellent all around. I ordered the Brisket tacos, which were flavorful and delicious. Our son had the chicken enchiladas, and they looked amazing and tasted just as good. My husband ordered the carne asada plate, and the steak was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. For dessert, we ordered four of the apple pies with a scoop of vinalla ice cream served on sizzling skillets, and they were absolutely outstanding. The sizzling presentation was fun, and the warm apple pie was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. From the attentive service to the delicious food and the unexpected private dining room, Cantina Laredo made dining with a large group easy and enjoyable. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back the next time we're vacationing in the Sandestin area. Highly recommend! Excellent service, great food, and a wonderful experience for a large group. We would definitely be back next year!

On this occasion the quality and quantity didn't fit the price and was very insulting! I ordered Mahi Mahi with the asparagus and rice. It was the size of a child's meal for starters. The Mahi Mahi was VERY dry. I did tell my server but nothing was done, only an apology. I was also surprised at the tiny size of the asparagus and small portion of rice. I didn't push it because my husband gets embarrassed and will eat a disappointing meal and never complain. This was ridiculous however. His meal was also pretty small for the cost. Maybe it's changed since Covid rocked our lives in so many negative ways that restaurants are cutting back, but to be dried out fish isn't acceptable. I wish our server would have at least offered to replace it. I was just as mad at myself for not asking for a new dish or my money back. Our server was nice. But that didn't make anything better with my meal! Next time I won't be swayed by my dining partners desire to not complain. He also gave the server a VERY generous tip. He's just a really good guy that way but also gets taken advantage of in these type situations! I feel Cantina Laredo should give us a do-over.
