El Quinto Sol was such a pleasant surprise to find in Laredo. As an all-vegetarian restaurant, it…read moreimmediately stood out to me because I don't always expect to find places like this outside of larger metro areas. But this visit reminded me that smaller cities can have really diverse, inclusive, and thoughtful food scenes too. The menu has so much to choose from. There are plenty of classic plant-based American-style dishes, but what I loved most was the large selection of Hispanic-inspired options, including tacos, burrito bowls, and other dishes that felt connected to the region. I ordered the fishless tacos, which came with three tacos filled with soy-based "fish," purple cabbage, avocado, and chipotle sauce, served with a bowl of lentil soup. It was a massive and very filling meal, especially with the protein, avocado, and soup. The space itself was clean, spacious, and inviting without being overdone. It was pretty busy when I went for lunch on a Friday, which was great to see. They also brought out a small complimentary appetizer with chips, nopales, spicy tomato salsa, and a sprinkle of cheese, which was a fun and flavorful start to the meal. Needless to say, I couldn't finish everything. I ate the tacos but had to leave some of the lentil soup because it was just so much food. They also have frozen yogurt and desserts, plus an area with packaged products you can buy to take home. I even noticed advertisements for El Quinto Sol at the airport, so it seems like they're a well-known local staple. I'm really glad a restaurant that caters to vegetarian diets is thriving in the community, and I think it's a huge asset to Laredo.

The yogurt has that perfect level of tartness that pairs so well with the sweet toppings. I chose cajeta, banana, and coconut. It was perfect. My complaint is that it's not served with a lid or anything to keep the goodies from falling all over your lap.

Came in again for lunch on my monthly trip to Laredo. I had the normal sampler platter I always…read moreget however, waitress dropped off my food and tea and never returned. I ran out of tea about halfway through my meal and could not even see her to flag her down. Normally they have pretty good service when I visit. I also noticed the sampler platter was much smaller portions than it ha been in the past. Not sure if this is a trend or just happen to be a bad day for them. Guess I'll find out next month when I come back. However if it's still the same I may have to change this as one of my go to restaurants to somewhere else. Back again for March. New waiter so let's see how it goes. Much faster service this visit. Like the music today as well. Food was excellent and service was as well. Glad they are back on track as I really enjoy lunch here when in Laredo.

Her aguas frescas where so refreshing and were also made with fresh fruit. I recommend doing half limon and cucumber! You won't regret it! The owner gave us free samples of some of her flavors of raspas and they were so fresh and yummy.
