While in Laredo Texas on business, I found this restaurant and decided to give it a shot. WOW,…read moreabsolutely DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The service, food and atmosphere were excellent. It was busy at the time I entered (10:15 am on a Wednesday) but I was seated immediately. My server Ivan was excellent and brought me coffee and my food order quickly. I ordered the "El Gringo" which was delicious (photo attached). Without asking , it came with two kinds of salsa (red and green). Red was spicy made with habaneros. Pancakes were great and Ivan even asked me if I wanted strawberry or blueberry topping on them. Of course I took the strawberries which put the pancakes over the top. Eggs, bacon and hash browns were delicious. I always enjoy supporting local restaurants and this place was loud, festive and enjoyable. I will 100% return if or when my business travels bring me back to Laredo Texas

El Quinto Sol was such a pleasant surprise to find in Laredo. As an all-vegetarian restaurant, it…read moreimmediately stood out to me because I don't always expect to find places like this outside of larger metro areas. But this visit reminded me that smaller cities can have really diverse, inclusive, and thoughtful food scenes too. The menu has so much to choose from. There are plenty of classic plant-based American-style dishes, but what I loved most was the large selection of Hispanic-inspired options, including tacos, burrito bowls, and other dishes that felt connected to the region. I ordered the fishless tacos, which came with three tacos filled with soy-based "fish," purple cabbage, avocado, and chipotle sauce, served with a bowl of lentil soup. It was a massive and very filling meal, especially with the protein, avocado, and soup. The space itself was clean, spacious, and inviting without being overdone. It was pretty busy when I went for lunch on a Friday, which was great to see. They also brought out a small complimentary appetizer with chips, nopales, spicy tomato salsa, and a sprinkle of cheese, which was a fun and flavorful start to the meal. Needless to say, I couldn't finish everything. I ate the tacos but had to leave some of the lentil soup because it was just so much food. They also have frozen yogurt and desserts, plus an area with packaged products you can buy to take home. I even noticed advertisements for El Quinto Sol at the airport, so it seems like they're a well-known local staple. I'm really glad a restaurant that caters to vegetarian diets is thriving in the community, and I think it's a huge asset to Laredo.

The yogurt has that perfect level of tartness that pairs so well with the sweet toppings. I chose cajeta, banana, and coconut. It was perfect. My complaint is that it's not served with a lid or anything to keep the goodies from falling all over your lap.

Came in again for lunch on my monthly trip to Laredo. I had the normal sampler platter I always…read moreget however, waitress dropped off my food and tea and never returned. I ran out of tea about halfway through my meal and could not even see her to flag her down. Normally they have pretty good service when I visit. I also noticed the sampler platter was much smaller portions than it ha been in the past. Not sure if this is a trend or just happen to be a bad day for them. Guess I'll find out next month when I come back. However if it's still the same I may have to change this as one of my go to restaurants to somewhere else. Back again for March. New waiter so let's see how it goes. Much faster service this visit. Like the music today as well. Food was excellent and service was as well. Glad they are back on track as I really enjoy lunch here when in Laredo.

I really want to give it three stars but personally it wasn't a good experience…read more I went early with a friend so there was no one else, I had hoped to sit anywhere I'd like or at least be given an option to (or explained why I couldn't) but they only offered two seating options which were small tables that were in the middle of the room with minimal area for our personal stuff. ( i know the area is small but I still think that there's room for improvement). The place was hot and the drinks were warm, again small area.. it's understandable since the kitchen was right behind us but still, if its a fact that the place gets warm because of the kitchen then some extra air or offer of ice/water would be nice.. then the food; I must say that for my whole order being 35$ it was not good... my order was the spicy chicken biscuit and the biscuit crumbled as soon as I picked it up. It tasted dry and clumpy as if it was reheated several times. The cheese on the chicken was hard and chewy and rubbery? The fried chicken had so much hard fried edges that biting it hurt. The potatoes were the only good ones.. the VERY limited space calls for control which was given but not communicated. As we were the firsts other people came by and they were treated the same as us until a larger group came and mentioned that they needed a seating of 6 which she then commented about having a reservation on hold for a group and needing to see how to seat them (not sure if that was the group or not) but the fact still stands that it should be communicated to others that seating is limited due to a reservation, not just simply giving limited options and not explaining. If I had known I would have gone back another time or even made a reservation for the future. Not sure if I would go back, having different menu options between weekdays/weekends was a real bummer. I really wanted a montecristo but they only offered it on weekends from 8-10? I believe is what she said... I hope others have a better experience but I thought I should comment in hopes of change for the next time I give it another shot

I just wanted tacos, I thought they were small double tortilla ones, here they are like medium size tortillas and filled with or might I say overfilled with tons of meat, so delicious. I had choriqueso, deshebrada, brisket. All were tasty and super fresh hot cooked, burn your mouth if you don't wait a minute. Chef Juan and Christina spoke to me in Spanish as I said I love learning and need to practice. They were both ever sweet and checked on me more times than a Michelin star restaurant. Extremely fresh, and extremely good value for the execution. I'm back to Laredo for work next month and definitely coming back to try the full page of breakfast platos and see Chef Juan and Christina! Super awesome and recommend 100%!
