I came here for dinner one night. It was highly recommended by my hotel and another place in the area. The food was amazing! I'm from CA, so I was a bit skeptical, but it lived up to the reviews. I would definitely recommended the panchos with chicken tinga! I had the spicy pineapple margarita. They made it to the spice level you wanted, and it was great. The servers were very nice too! read more

The ease of my visit here was I appreciated most. I'm staying in Downtown Seattle for a few days on business training & we had an hour lunch break. I found Laredo on Yelp & with browsing the menu & calculating the walk distance, I was able to order the meal as I walked over & it was ready within that 5 minute time frame. The employees were quick & very polite (always addressed me as ma'am even tho I'm no more than 23) & since I'm from Hawaii - I got a kick out of the fact the Laredo is on Aloha Street. The food was a good amount & packed w/flavor - Mexican food is usually hit or miss with the flavor - & I was happy with my choice of the Chicken Enchilada. I paid a little over $10 & it came with beans & rice. read more

I'm a bit confused as why you would put ice cubes on top of a blended margarita. Seemed to me like it was filler. Also, when I went to give a tip, there was only a %25 and above option. I was sitting at the bar for a while and nobody greeted me while I was in plain sight. Would not go back. I'm not cheep when it comes to tipping but this was really disappointing. The very first person to greet me at the door was great, however. read more

I have been here twice already and had a great experience for both. I love the fun atmosphere indoors and the summer relaxation on the patio outside. Came here with no reservations each time and was seated immediately (only two in the party). For my hubby's birthday they gave us a wonderful on-the-house dessert (you actually got to choose which one you wanted). The Husband chose the churros and it came with candles and all :) The churros were a bit on the chewy side but they were free so no complaints here. I was excited to find queso dip here since I went to college in the South and the queso on the east and west coast just aren't the same. They do put green Chile's inside of it though and the hubby wasn't a fan (he's the one that grew up in the south and used to have Tex Mex three times a week before moving the west coast). The enchiladas were delicious though. The second time I was here, I brought my girlfriend for their generous $5 margaritas (yay they do exist in Seattle!!). You do have to pay for chips and salsa which is my one qualm. This is probably my go-to Tex/Mex place in the city! Glad I found it! read more

We came here for dinner/happy hour before the 7:30PM Nutcracker. My friend made a reservation for 20 people. Surprisingly, I was able to order food from happy hour before it ended. I had a smoked pull beef torta. WOW... it was beyond what I expected. It was good and big with a lot of waffle fries. I had to share my fries with friends. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to finish. Not many drink options off the happy hour menu, which is ok. I got myself a sangria, It was really good. They were really accommodating for 20 of us, not only seating but also paying separately. We really appreciated that! We were able to get out of the door by 7 and walked to Nutcracker. read more

I was visiting Seattle from California for my Birthday and we wanted Mexican food with some margaritas. Our hotel the Hampton Inn, suggested Laredo's, which was walking distance. Our server Luis was awesome. Thank you for your hospitality. The food was great as well as our margaritas. I requested a special song for my birthday but unfortunately the manager would not change his music to accommodate just one song request for my special occasion. That was unfortunate. We decided to go to another restaurant with better ambiance. It's too bad that a Mexican restaurant does not play mexican music. I definitely will not recommend this restaurant for parties. read more

Pretty good Mexican food across the board. I personally come here for the chimichanga, which is really good, however the drinks, chips, salsa, and from what I hear everything other people have ordered are also great! read more

I moved here from Texas a little less than a year ago, and unfortunately I was disappointed. The queso dip was not Tex-Mex Chile Con Queso at all. It was a white creamy powder, and I think it was mostly flour or corn starch. I found nothing special about this food at all, especially for the price. And what is the cabbage pico? I've lived in Houston, Dallas and Corpus Christi and have spent a significant amount of time in Austin and I have never seen anything like that. The quality of the ingredients seemed mediocre as well. There are a few better options I've found since I've been in Seattle , they just don't advertise as Tex-Mex. The people who run this place should visit Texas to re-fresh their menu. read more

Good margaritas, queso and all around good Mexican joint. Been here about half a dozen times in the past year and they are solid. Only trouble is on game nights they can get overwhelmed and you end up waiting a bit between drinks. But overall they do a great job. read more

The short brown bartender the other night was not nice or attentive and much was more interested in flirting with and catering to his blond girlfriend then anyone else in the place. Drinks were weak and we wont be back. Too bad it has a good vibe. read more

Ate here yesterday before a big event at Seattle Center. The bartender was a great dude and I got to watch the 3rd round of the US Open before things started to get busy. The chips/salsa and guac was great. The happy hour started at 4:00pm and my ground and I enjoyed a couple of rounds of $5.00 house margaritas. Great experience and will be back. read more

Very fun and popular on a Friday night, atmosphere is a bit loud for conversations since it's so popular, not a bad thing. Had the shrimp enchiladas, wasn't expecting much but was surprised as how good the shrimp was! Go for the house marg and not the avocado. Overall great place for a Friday night and some solid but pricey Mexican! read more

Hey- get your bar servers to care about people who don't have a penis. SERIOUS?! The first time in it was great service.. but three other services over the past month.. this long haired gal seemed to not give a shit unless I was a man or wanting to drink myself blind.. read more

This place has the perfect happy hour nachos and margaritas. I love the atmosphere. It's super clean and well-maintained. The server gave me just the right amount of attention. I look forward to working my way through the whole menu! read more

While we were coming back from an event on Lake Union, we got a bite to eat at Laredos. I really like the atmosphere in here and the menu offers lots of choices. The avocado margarita was awesome and the food selections were solid, offering choices for the vegetarian diet as well as many for the meat lovers. The service was on the slow side and this is why they received a 3 instead of a 4. Could be that we just were there on an off night, but quicker service would have bumped the rating right up. Good food and drinks...nice servers, just a bit faster would have been amazing. read more

Oh, Laredos. You have tasty veggie tacos for lunch and you (+ co-worker Hanna) introduced me to the wonderful beverage called a Shandy. Thank you so much for making that drink oh so delicious and handling our crazy work tables so well each time we visit for lunch and happy hour. I'm a little sad that I can't usually find something I desire from the food section of your happy hour menu (chips and salsa don't count!), but I trust that I can find a $2 can of Tecate and a $4 Margarita... and, well, that's good enough for me on most days! (Plus I can always go for the dinner menu.) Also, I don't think I'll ever stop being amused by the green and red salsa squirt bottles that we usually get when we have a big table and will obviously need lots of salsa bowl refills. I haven't found your staff to ever be especially engaging, but I've always gone in big groups and they do a great job getting us all taken care of and make it extremely easy for us to pay separately. The only mishap that I've seen was when two people ordered the same item (one cheese, one chicken) and they planned to share so they'd get to have both. When they traded, however, they found that both had gotten the chicken and nobody else at the table received the cheese. That was no big deal, however, and I'm still very glad to have Laredos so close to work! read more

While visiting Seattle we came upon this great neighborhood spot. The flavors were complex and delicious, among the best mexican food I've tasted. The quesadillas and enchiladas were to die for. Only complaint is the typical watering down of margaritas. No tequila was apparent. A big negative... to save money I guess... read more

The team at Laredo's deserves an A+ for their preparedness to reopen during phase 2 of the COVID19 lockdown. Rather than using single-use menus and wasting paper, they had QR codes taped to each table that you scan to get drink and food menus. Food and drinks are great, as always, and the service was fast and friendly. I wish them success as Seattle reopens. read more

The food was good here but not fantastic. Although we got the food very fast it wasn't flavorful enough for me. The service was great though. I will try it again to see if it was just my item I got as my friends seemed to enjoy their food. read more

Great great food and very rude phone and in-person service. I go there about once a week or more since it is literally three blocks from my house. Service on the telephone is always rude with the servers never seeming to recognize the order even though there are only a few things on the simple menu. IF it wasnt for the fact that it is a few steps from my house the service would be enough to keep me away. On the other hand, drinks are good and strong and there is always an interesting group of locals inside at the bar. I recently asked one of my Bellevue friends to walk down and grab the food while I got ready. He came back so pissed off telling me , that "the waitress and hostess were so rude he almost walked out". Dont expect to get happy hour pricing on to- go food even if you are a regular that eats here several times a week. Much better food than Pesos a few blocks up and its location is ideal. Thank God the food is great and prices are more than fair. It's almost as if this place succeeds despite itself. read more

Great place for lunch. The staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable. The food is very delicious and tasteful. A must try if your in the area and need a place to enjoy good food and atmosphere. The steak tacos!! Yum. We will definitely be back here again. read more

Great food, great environment and strong drinks. Servers were welcoming and fast paced.

Laredos is one of my go to favorite spots for brunch. It is a Mexican restaurant so the brunch is also Mexican themed but more breakfast style entrees. For the first few months I always had great service but our waitress no longer works here and now the waitresses I have been getting are not quite as good but this place is still worth going. The food is amazing and they have one of my favorite margaritas, the Pink Margarita! read more

The BEST server, she was great (her name was Jane ::) Really good drinks. Fun, loud, great cozy atmosphere. The food was good, not the top, but good. The Carne Asada plate was really good. The house specialty of Al Pastor street tacos were really greasy, a little bit salty and I didn't taste the pineapple in it so I'd skip them. The chicken quesadilla was really good. read more

We just had our dinner... THAT WAS AMAZING!! I've not had anything or anywhere to compare. As far as we're concerned, we we'll continue to order from you. So Delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. read more

The food is pretty good (although I'll have to agree with another reviewer that it's supposed to have two tortillas not just one so it can support the goods) and the drinks are strong but still tasty (and when I say it's strong, it's pretty damn strong). Happy hour menu is good, service is friendly, and they have a bit of outdoor seating (though it can get windy). Overall a good place with good food, large portions, and decent prices. Having lived in Cali, I have to say it's not super authentic Mexican food (but close), but it's supposed to be Tex-Mex so I guess that's the reason why. I'll have to come back to try a few more items. read more

4 Words: BLENDED RITAS... AWESOME FAJITAS!!!!!!! YES, TEX-MEX lovers, this is definitely the place for you. Great vibe and decor, call it Hipster Mexican. The best blended Ritas in town and fantastic Tex-Mex food. We have been there 4 times now and have loved our food every single time and what's best, every one we brought along has loved it as well. Great prices. Only reason two reasons I am not making this a 5 star is that service in our last visit was not the best, but also because I am not a huge fan of the beans, they are a little dry and a little on the sweet side for me. When I go to Tex-Mex I expect great Charo beans... and have not yet been able to find them in Seattle. It would be great if they started to offer Charo beans as an option. read more

SO DELICIOUS. We were looking for Tex-Mex (chili con queso to be exact) and Laredo's came up on yelp. I love the online reservations, so easy. The place smells great even a block away. My husband is from Houston and he said, "Oh yeah, this smells right,". We had a reservation and were seated right away. We got sat by the door but it had good view of the kitchen and the bar. The chili con queso was awesome. I don't know exactly what was in it but it was chunky? Perhaps with onion and garlic? Who cares, we could've had two bowls of it. My husband had steak fajitas. Cooked perfectly and a generous portion. I had the chile Relleno. It was so freaking good! Finally, a chili relleno that wasn't greasy or soggy! It was full of fresh veggies and topped with queso, which I loved. I would have liked a protein option like the fajitas: beef, chicken or shrimp. I would've added shrimp. Maybe I can request it next time. Several things said over dinner: "Ooh they have brunch" "When can we come back? Is tomorrow too soon?" "This is the best Mexican I've had in Seattle" "Can this be our Friday night place?" "Look, Brisket Tacos!" Good eats, Laredo's! See y'all soon. read more

Been coming here for 2 years. Really good food. I recommend the Mariachi burrito! Its a good wet burrito in Seattle. They always get our to-go order correct. Also they have to-go margaritas which are pretty bomb. The interior is a little meh but the food is awesome and worth it. read more

The staff here were excellent. Shannon immediately greeted us and sat us when we entered on a busy New Years Eve. She sat us at a table with a genuine and welcoming server, Jane. Jane was kind, funny, and kept us laughing while being honest about what she loved about the menu. The food was great when you take it for what it is -- a Tex-Mex place in the PNW. The crunchy tacos were spot on and the skirt steak was cooked extremely well. Thanks to the great food and even better staff, we chose to try out brunch the next day (where we got their names). Thanks again to these two and providing excellent service. Cheers. read more

I love this place for a late happy hour. I just wish it was earlier. The pulled port torta on happy hour is delicious, I've tried one of their non happy hour tortas and this was better. Also try the tacos al pastor they're very good. The service is usually very friendly but not always attentive. This would be a good spot to meet for drinks with an on-line date. Or to just meet up with friends. I've been here many times and I'll be back. read more

First time in Seattle from Southern Cali and let me tell you, I found out about this place from my hotel. 20min walking distance made it a nice stroll to work up an appetite. The alcoholic drink were so delicious (Texas Tea and Peachalada). Appetizer was the Fiesta Dip... the beans were soo tasty and perfect. I ordered the Brisket Torta and omg it was yumm!!! I definitely recommend this place for your texmex/ Mexican food. read more

I live near Laredo's and grab dinner every couple of weeks - it's one of my absolute favorite restaurants!! My usual pick is the shrimp taco plate which is always delicious and fresh. They've been open for takeout the last couple weeks and I've really been loving the cocktails to-go. read more

I love this place. Simple as that. Food is delicious. Homemade sauces and salsas. Great drinks. Friendly staff. It's a local favorite. As good as Tacos Chukis but an actual restaurant. read more

Great if you're looking for drinks and nachos. If you're looking for authentic Tex-Mex, this will disappoint. We had nachos(good); however also had carne guisado, pollo Laredo, grilled fish tacos which were all bad. I lived close to Laredo, TX and I know the difference. Food came out quickly and had obviously been reheated...chicken was cooked to the point of being inedible and the beef in my carne guisado was just as bad...and tasted of chili...not what this recipe is supposed to be. As I said before...it's a good spot for drinks and nachos. read more

I've been to this place many times over the course of many years and the last two times, have had an interesting experience. The food is good, servers are usually great, my only complaint is you leave smelling like you've just returned from a 3 day camping trip. You'll have wash your hair and all of your clothes because you will smell like a bonfire. It never used to be this way. I'm not quite sure if they changed the way they cook or if it's something different with the fire table in the dining area, or if their ventilation stopped working, but it's the only reason I won't go back again. read more

Pros: Happy hour food is great with the deal! As a Texan, I love their carnitas toquitos and tacos al pastor! Cons: not happy with fish tacos thought since the cod is kinda dry and blend read more

I go to Laredos often because it's close to my place and has a good open restaurant/bar for a nice happy hour. Overall I say the food is average. I like the Flavors in the tacos (particularly the carne Asada and marinated well) but the tortilla is thicker than most and over powers the flavors on the inside. To me, a good taco is not just the filling, but also the authentic corn tortilla. A fave snack of mine are the panchos - individual tortilla chips each stacked with the perfect amount of nachos toppings. It's great because each chip is perfect and you don't feel as guilty as when you eat a whole mountain of nachos! I love tortilla chips and guacamole/salsa. These chips are good to munch on with a drink, typically served a little warm... Yum! Guacamole and salsa are decent. Great place to gather with a group of friends for a nice drink, happy hour and/or average Americanized Mexican food... I guess it's called Tex mex (may explain the different tortillas!) read more
