    Beet carpaccio
    Brianna T.

    I really enjoyed the food for lunch here today, but the reviews about poor service shouldn't be overlooked. Ordered the beet carpaccio, the tomato soup, and the chicken paillard from their 10th anniversary menu. The soup is killer - absolutely exceeded expectations. The salad was huge for eleven bucks and super fresh! I wasn't sold on the paillard - it's a special with corn, peaches, parm, and apparently chimichurri, though I didn't notice much. The sweetness of the corn and the peaches didn't totally go with the breading, but I was hungry and ate it all anyway. What really bummed me out was the service. I was a solo diner for a late lunch and was the only patron in the restaurant for most of my meal. After I finished my entree, I sat for about 45 minutes without being asked if I wanted anything else or being provided the check. Not for a lack of serving staff - there were at least four or five people laughing and chatting as they set up for dinner service. When my server noticed my card on the table and came over, I asked for a scoop of gelato and the check. I got my receipt shortly... and then waited seventeen minutes for dessert that never came before I crossed it off the check and walked out. I looked around for my server for several minutes before leaving, and he must have been in the back somewhere because I didn't see him again between having my check dropped at the table (and acknowledging my gelato should be on the way) and walking out. I've worked in fine dining and my partner has owned a few restaurants so I generally consider myself more tolerant than most when it comes to service blunders, and I overlooked the comments about poor service here for that reason. Unfortunate, because this was just not acceptable. I was finishing my chicken a few minutes after 3pm and walked out at 4:13. I'd order takeout but not dine in again.

    Found this place on Yelp when visiting my hubby who is stationed here. I live in Austin so my expectations are pretty darn high! The gals at our hotel also recommended this place too.. so we drive over, lots of parking and fun lights outside that gave me a good vibe! Loved the little details! We were greeted by a lovely gal and she told us we could sit anywhere we liked.. we chose a little 2 seater... loved the ambiance and the dim lighting... not good for my pictures you see but set the mood! We ordered their bottle of organic Pinot Noir and and we both enjoyed it! Also had a couple glasses of Prosecco and that was great too! We started off with the goat cheese stuffed jalapeño poppers, so good! Loved the hint of rosemary... the tuna cappacio was next with fresh greens, capers and parmesan.... the lobster taco!! the best! We shared it, so filling and good!!! That recommendation came from the manager .. he was so helpful, stopping by and checking on us. Christian was our server and he got busy... he was super helpful as well! Knew the menu and gave us recommendations .. he was super nice! We also had the ribeye chicharron with fresh guacamole, radish, sprouts... the fresh blue corn tortillas came out warm and they were great!! This restaurant has a mix of everything! Apparently the chef studied in Mexico and in New York...Great combination of flavors! We were celebrating my birthday since the hubby missed it due to work so we ordered dessert... we ordered the chocolate cake but they were out of it, bummer! But they recommended the lemon blueberry cheesecake and it did not disappoint. The manager gave us free ice cream :) This place was packed. They were busy! Great crowd.. we got there around 6ish and stayed til about 8pm... the hostess was super sweet... She came over to clean up and I asked her if we should leave to give our table and she was like no... just cleaning up... we didn't want to overstay to be fair... We truly enjoyed the people, the service and the food... The only thing I wish was that they ditch the masks... it takes away from the personal touch and it's hard to understand everyone when we are talking.... I know this goes against the majority but I think it's time... wearing masks while hustling and bustling.. working, talking... seems like they do more harm than good in the service industry.... That doesn't change anything... we loved it all and will be back! They have lots of organic choices.... I'm eyeing the pesto pasta salmon for next time and will definitely get another lobster taco!

    Excellent food, drinks, service, & ambiance. Highly recommend the tuna carpaccio fresh, light, filling. The menu has great variety.

    The food was 10/10. Hubby and I decided to share appetizers and I'm sorry we didn't take pics but we were so hungry that by the time I remembered to take pics the food was half way gone. We were greeted as soon as we walked, it's a small place but has a great atmosphere. Immediately the waiter came by and took my drink order. The Cumvertini was my 1st choice because I love cucumbers. It was refreshing and not overpowered with alcohol taste 10/10. The sea bass ceviche was so delicious too, served well with avocado and tostadas; great lemon taste and not fishy tasting at all. Next I ordered the Mexican Hipster, this one did have a stronger alcohol taste and gets a 7/10, still great but a little on the stronger side for me. Hubby got a Paloma and it was great for those that don't like sweet drinks 9/10. Next week ordered Ribeye Chicharron and I was not disappointed, it came on a bed of guacamole and topped with pico and side of lime and salsa. WOW! 10/10. Overall service was great, prices were reasonable and we were out in about 1 hour. Would definitely recommend.

    So very disappointed with service, marketing, and meal. I came from California and wanted to have…read moresomething nice and unique. The menu online looks spectacular and had a lot of interesting dishes. I was super excited. I saw that they were open late and I was also very happy about this because my meal was after work. I arrived at 9:30 walked in the side entrance and saw a post hunched over and squatted down, looking at her iPhone. I also saw another employee leaning on the host stand talking to her. He didn't greet me neither did she until I walked to the front of the house stand. She got up from her crouch position and said can I help you? I was surprised to see what she was wearing, an oversized hoodie with some type of logo on it, which was not an appropriate thing to wear, and it did not match the other employee that were more crisp. I said dining for one and grabbed a menu and slid it across the host stand out of pure laziness. She slumped her way over with the menu hanging on her left side and sat me at a table. Wow what a lousy first impression for a restaurant that I was so excited to visit. A server came over gave me a menu and brought me water. Disappointed to see that the menu was completely different from the menu that I saw online. No unique dishes and the variety was not great. However, I was there and felt I'd give it a chance. A server that was at the bar entering tickets or something, kept looking over at my table, but no one ever acknowledged me after I was seated. I waited for about 10 minutes until someone realized I need assistance. The server finally came over. He was polite to check my order served my meal left me to be on my own to check on me one time, but it certainly wasn't a two minute check when he should to see if my meal was to my satisfaction. My plates were not cleared and I had to ask for the check.. the food was OK. I had the salmon. Nothing spectacular. risotto was uneventful. Got my check and left. No goodbye, no thank you for coming in no stand out service. As a restaurant professional in California, I can't figure out if it's just a Texas thing or they rate everything high or this restaurant truly is deserving of its accolades..

    Just walking into the restaurant you feel an eclectic vibe of excitement and joy. Fast paced but…read morerelaxed, busy but not loud.

I guess I have to return!

    If you find yourself in the city of Laredo, Texas and hungry for delicious Mexican style seafood…read moreand sushi, you are in the right place. Being a border city to Mexico, Laredo has it's share of great seafood restaurants and La Laguna Mariscos sure has a spotlight on them. Not too long ago I came with a friend for ceviche de camarones (Shrimp Ceviche) and boy were we in for a surprise. The ceviche was well served combined with spicy prepared cucumber slices and of course tasty. The quality on this dish is great and recommend two people sharing this because of the portion size. Unless you are very hungry then go ahead.. Lol, I on the other hand ordered their Avocado Sushi roll and enjoyed this dish. The roll had a yummy fresh taste to it and had just the right amount of avocado on the roll. This avocado roll came with a side of crab salad, Tampico and fried rice. Just great. Price was decent and overall satisfied with the food. What I liked about the restaurant is that the ambiance is so vibrant and full of life. I believe they have live music on the weekends and let me tell you, salsa music at La Laguna is spicy! ay ay ay! Therefore, I would also like to suggest to the owner that management should be on top of their servers at all times. In fact, management should be on top of their servers and customers. That Saturday I went to dine at La Laguna took almost 26 minutes for us to get our orders in to our server. I understand that businesses can be very busy, specially on a Saturday night, but these small details make a big difference. The restaurant is very neat and clean. Servers are friendly and love that they even suggest good dishes from the menu. Thanks guys!
