I have been in Laredo for 8 years. As a foodie, Laredo has been generally disappointing for me.
This restaurant was beyond incredible. The food was incredibly balanced, complex, and the flavors were a punch in every bite.
The way the salsas were layered in my chilaquilles prevented the tasting from becoming normalized. Every bite was different as the sauces were in different composition in every bite.
The coffee was wonderful and fresh. Good serving, and was flavorful without being syrupy or too sweet.
The Almond crossaints, Dear God. Best Almond Crossaints I've ever had. Perfect jam, almonds plentiful and the pastry was crispy on the outside, with a perfect buttery bite on the inside. My wife and I ordered two croissants with our coffee as we waited for the food. Immediately ordered two to go, as we were eating the first two.
I couldn't finish my Chilaquilles because the flavor was so strong and satisfying. I had my fill and, as I write this 30 minutes after, the taste of the chipoltle sauce lingers.
This is not just a great experience, its the single BEST experience I've had in Laredo. Absolute Grade marks.
The service was incredibly well timed, not too pressing, and very knowledgeable about the menu and staff. Respectful and mannered beyond the norm in Laredo.
The price was excellent. At La Finca, I have spent more, receivced less, and never felt compelled to write a review.
This was a pleasure. If the manager or owner ever reads this, thank you. This was an experience beyond any in Laredo. And on a random Friday, no special events. Absolute Grade. read more
