We used to really like this restaurant, but the quality has taken a nosedive. We went there for a…read morelate lunch and the club sandwich toast was burnt black. Even after mentioning it to the waitress nothing was done. The quesadilla was pretty fair, nothing special just chicken and cheese, no spices. The restaurant wasn't busy, we were the only patrons. $50 for a very disappointing meal. Since we were staying at the hotel, we went down for breakfast. Greasy food and the refried beans in my taco were dry and crunchy. The waitress didn't pay attention, I had to ask twice for a coffee refill. We won't be back, I can see why there were no other customers.

We had amazing fried tongue and very good "shrimp ala diabla". The annoying part was when we got…read moreback to our room and TWO SECURITY looking guys plus the bartender knocked at our door asking if we had been at the bar because we left the wrong room number on the receipt implying they couldn't charge us since we left a wrong room number. Well the truth was we had not left any room number because WE HAD PAID AT THE BAR INCLUDING A GENEROUS TIP! We had to go to the front desk to fix THEIR ERROR (aka the bartender's error) and it was like pulling teeth to get them to admit that it was a whoops on their part. That incident made me knock off one star. It could have been handled better had the bartender admitted we handed him a credit card and he neglected to charge the card. Sad, because the bartender was actually very attentive... oh well.

This was the absolute best dining experience I have had in Laredo. First, the decor- it's eclectic…read moreand there is something interesting no matter where you look. Second, the food- we had the melted cheese with bread, and it was phenomenal- so much flavor. I would order that again and again. For an entree, I had the Peruvian chicken. OMG was it amazing- so juicy and so much flavor. Even the white meat was yummy. The white beans had such a delicate flavor, and the fries were an herby, delicious, crispy bite. My husband had the 13 oz prime rib, something he's been craving a while, and he said it was perfect and exactly what you want in a prime rib. Next time I come back to Laredo, I'm returning to El Capataz.

A gentleman open the door and warmly greets on the way in and out. Nice touch. Wait staff was professional, personable, and friendly. The menu has something for everyone from hamburger, fish and chips, fish tacos, and more. Please check their menu. We started with a drinks and Elote. Since we've had Mexican food for two days we ordered the Fish and Chips which was delicious. The order comes with four fried fish fillets, fries, and a yummy dipping sauce and Malted vinegar. For dessert, we had the brownie bits with a scope of vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed our meal from beginning to end. Happy Eating! Eat delicious.

Can't beat that price, I also order pineapple pizza thinking it was a slice (we had a language barrier but I didn't mind) came out a whole pizza for $7.89. My total meal was $18.10 including tips and I was so carb up, ready to get to drinking. My friend and I came in around 12am, so they open pretty late and it was empty, the vibes were quite and we were the only ones there with the staff. I hope they will get more customers soon, don't sleep on this place, I'm coming back to try their tacos and menudo. Giving them five stars for services, food, cleanness, atmosphere, and the convenience of opening near bars and opening later. 10/10 side note: are a few places with the same name in California and Florida, not sure if it's a franchise or a trademark name but the menu are slightly different.
