The event said no reservations needed, so we showed up not realizing how popular it would be. The place was PACKED with a line out the door! Even so, we only waited about 25 minutes for a table on Valentine's Day, which honestly wasn't bad at all considering the crowd. We went specifically for their Valentine's special: 2 margaritas, fajitas for two, and dessert, such a great deal! The margaritas were delicious. We ordered the Rita sampler and the blueberry margarita tasted like blueberry pie, so fresh, organic, and absolutely yummy. We also ordered homemade guacamole, which was delectable, paired with fresh, crispy homemade chips. Our fajitas included steak, pork, chicken, and shrimp, and everything was cooked to perfection. The flavors were incredible!!! And can we talk about the restaurant itself? It's HUGE! It felt like one of those multi-level Times Square NYC restaurants, with multiple floors and even outside patio seating. It was like a magic trick walking through it! Our waitress, Lia, was fantastic, attentive, helpful, and so sweet despite how busy it was. The staff worked incredibly hard all night and it showed. Plentiful parking, amazing food, great atmosphere. We will definitely be back to this hidden gem we didn't even know existed in town. Thank you for making our Valentine's Day special after a long day of yard work

The chips were hot and the salsa decent. Guacamole was gross. Rice was bland and not at all traditional Mexican rice. And once again, American cheese in the quesadilla! Grateful it was mainly on the edge, so we could still eat the chicken untouched by a poor excuse for cheese, especially in a quesadilla. Normally, the cheese not being evenly melted throughout the quesadilla would upset me, but I was happy this time so I could actually eat something that didn't taste like American cheese. The chicken was actually halfway decent and the tortilla was warm and nice and crispy on the outside. Did I mention there was AMERICAN CHEESE in the quesadilla? You guys. I can't.

We were pleasantly surprised by the prompt service and delicious food. It is a simple restaurant with simply good food plus the owners/wait staff were welcoming. The salsa and chips were really good. So good we ate it all.... Typically we eat a few then stop but not here. I ordered the #13 which consisted of two enchiladas, rice, and beans. My partner ordered the plate of four enchiladas. According to him it was really really good. I was amazed how huge the cups for water are. Very smart and highly efficient. No waiting for someone to refill your water. Never saw that before. Will I stop by again? I sure will when I am driving in the area. Gringos and gringas will find this place welcoming. The food is worth it. I highly recommend.

Laredo was just minutes away from us, open for dining in or takeout, and based on reviews we went in. Place was not busy, we got a table as soon as we walked in. They brought us water, the menu and their chips with salsa. They also brought a spicier salsa upon request. The menu has everything you expect from a Mexican restaurant: quesadillas, tacos, fajita, enchiladas... Something for everyone. We were going to order to go but when I saw they had queso fundido I had to order it and of course eat there as this is always best when immediately out of the oven. Well, that was disappointing and why I had to take away one star. The chorizo tasted and looked like it was from a can, and the queso, definitely not "real" cheese. We had to send it back, and thankfully our server was very gracious about it and took it off our check. Not only that, his friendly and attentive service did not change toward us. He kept checking up on us, recommended certain dishes and made sure drinks were to our liking and offering to change them if not. For dinner I got one of his recommendations, the shrimp fajitas and that was really good! Lots of roasted vegies, which I always love. On the side all the condiments: sour cream, lettuce, pico de gallo, chease and guace. Plus a side of delicious rice and refried beans. And, of course, warm tortillas. I was very happy with this and the portion. Enough I was full and shared with my boyfriend. He got the Burrito Frito with steak and the meat was cooked perfectly. Not dry or tough and good flavor. Good option in Lake Butler, with excellent service!

This was our first visit as we traveled through town. FOOD - Highly Recommended: Burrito Frito was spot on delicious. I might order this every time if we lived nearby. It is crave-worthy. It is a burrito that is deep fried, but yet is different than a typical chimichanga (which is another menu item). It was filled with chicken (you can opt for steak) cheese and mushrooms, which was not a normal ingredient for Mexican burritos. I don't know how authentic it was, but it was super delicious! It's also not something you can find many places. - Carnitas Tacos were good too. It's hard for a Mexican restaurant to screw up such a classic but I have seen some that do. Laredo gets it right, with a generous portion on soft corn tortillas. - Kids Chicken Tenders were great. Like most kids, our daughter's go-to is chicken tenders. It's not a Mexican specialty but these were delicious, and would stand up to common fast food chicken tenders. They looked to have real meat grain, indicating they were not reconstructed chicken paste (thankfully). The breading was seasoned and delicious. - Rice and beans: the rice was good but we didn't care for the beans. They had a funk to them. DRINKS - The Coronarita was huge. I ordered it frozen, and it is served with an upside down miniature bottle of corona. It's a perfect Margarita for me. They made too much to fill the big glass so also delivered the leftover portion in a second small glass. They don't skimp! My only complaint would be the plastic margarita glass, but I am getting picky at that point. If you are looking for Mexican in this area, then I'd recommend Laredo.

I drowned myself in their margarita. The atmosphere was vibrant but not overwhelming. Lots of people watching with great energy, a beautiful space, and just an overall vibe.

A huge shoutout to Kaylie behind the bar--she was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and clearly knows her craft. Every drink she made was spot-on and she really elevated our whole experience. I did have a less positive interaction with another bartender (Jeremy) who came across as a bit dismissive and not very welcoming. I saw him roll his eyes at a coworker when she turned her back. It stood in stark contrast to the otherwise great service we received. That said, Kaylie absolutely made the afternoon amazing for us, and I'd highly recommend stopping by--especially if you get the chance to sit at her bar!

Unfortunately it went downhill from there. And we were patient, super patient. It was a Friday, but it was not overly crowded, like I said - seated immediately around 7:40. Drinks, took over 30 minutes for a pineapple one and three skinny- we joked the food would arrive first, but we were very wrong. Then, the waitress waited for us to try- I think it was a newer person at the bar. We tried to like it, but somehow it tasted like flat sprite.our server took them away and made us them herself. Now, those were great. Small side of guac was brought after that- meant to go with the meal, but we were so hungry we just ate with the chips. It was very good- fresh tasting. Then we waited. And waited some more. Asked about the food, then waited some more. Finally, we cut our losses and asked for the check minus the food that never came. The band was starting next door and we wanted to celebrate the bday girl. Pic 1, text just after 8pm- shows me joking that I was going to eat my friends food since she was headed over from next door and taking a bit and we had ordered 10 minutes prior. Pic 2, text shows us giving up- 9pm. So over an hour wait on food that never arrived - even if busy that would be a deal breaker. We were excited to try it too- disappointed.
