Nice quaint outdoor
Chris J.

This place never disappoints hands down one of the best in Laredo. My waiter tonight remembered me from back in Dec when they made room for ten top on the spear of the moment. The Cesar Side salad is huge and very taste. The ribeye with baked and all the trimmings could be cut with the butter knife. In Laredo it is a must go, Thursdays are prime rib.

Quirky, unique ambiance, good food, poor service Food: While on a business trip to Laredo, a colleague and I decided we wanted a good steak. We heard the Tack Room was the place in Laredo for steak. I had the churrasco steak and my colleague had the ribeye. My churrassco was excellent- very good quality and flavorful. My colleague described the ribeye as very good and flavorful but not exceptional. Sides served with the steaks were all excellent (rice and vegetables). Salad bar was very good too with fresh ingredients. Drinks: We asked about the margaritas, and our waitress said Tack Room had the best in Laredo. We ordered top shelf with an extra shot of tequila on the side. The margaritas were very good but not the best ever. Service: Service started great and then went downhill. By the end, we were frustrated and became impatient after waiting 20 minutes to pay and get our credit cards back. We saw that the young man who took our credit cards, JJ, went downstairs. So we went downstairs and found JJ sitting at the bar. I told him we had been waiting for our credit cards. He said he was waiting on the bartender to complete some additional tabs., Our tabs were complete and JJ simply hadn't given us our cards. We were not pleased at all. JJ needs to be trained in the basics of customer service or find another job. Ambiance: quirky equine theme and décor. Definitely unique and intimate. Overall a very small restaurant. Overall cleanliness: average

Hubby took me here for my birthday and the food was great! Atmosphere was so calm & relaxing. Our waitress was so sweet! The Tack Room is definitely a must while in Laredo!

Preakness: $34.

This review is for a dinner for two in the upstairs dining room on Friday night, Mexican Independence Day. Two drinks + two entrees = $73.00 (or $100 with tip). Service: Earlier in the afternoon, we stopped-in for a drink and to look at the menu. Service at the bar was fine. Attentive without being intrusive. While we were finishing our beers, the hostess received a pizza delivery from Pizza Hut! Not exactly sure what the means? When we returned for dinner upstairs, Hector was our waiter. He was absolutely fine. Professional and helpful. Could have checked once or twice after food was served. Our steak needed some more time on the grill and I could have used a glass of wine. Am thinking they were just busy. bar Two positives and two negatives. On the upside, beer is relatively cheap at $4 a bottle and the Champagnerita (margarita on the rocks) was pretty good. On the downside, the beer selection is limited to Mexican imports or American mega-brews and the mark-up on wine is about 50%, which is a bit much for this restaurant. We didn't see a single glass of wine poured or served during all our time there. food The appetizers are relatively unique. Escargot, crab cakes and tenderloin panchos. Note, their Angels on Horseback are shrimp, not oysters. Never seen Angels on Horseback rendered as shrimp? Next, it's a walk-up salad bar with a big bowl of greens, a dozen toppings - including artichoke hearts, cheese cubes, and anchovies - plus four choices of dressing. I remember bright red French, ranch and something akin to Green Goddess. I had the salmon, which was pretty good. Nicely charred and not overcooked. My wife had the Preakness, which was billed as a 7 oz. filet. Since the Tack Room fancies itself a steakhouse, I'll spend some time here. It's an interesting filet. Definitely not a center cut. Maybe from the butt end with the wing still attached? At $34, we assumed it would be a center cut Prime. It is not. The menu says Black Angus, which should have been an early indicator. My wife requested Medium to Medium Rare, just not bloody. We asked Hector's advice and he thought Medium Rare would achieve that effect. My wife reiterated, no blood. You can see where this is going, can't you? Yes, yes, undercooked. We didn't get a chance to have it put back on, so I ate what she could not. Steaks do not come with sauces, those are all a la carte? House made bread is amazing. I'll say it again, amazing. Veg on the side was fine, if oversalted. The baked potato that came with the steak was actually pretty darned good. We are devotees of James Beard who loved an overcooked potato. The baked potato came with one of those silver serving dishes containing three suspended bowls - one for sour cream, one for bacon bits and one for chives. It was at this moment that I finally recognized this restaurant. The limited cocktail choices, the DIY salad, the unique cuts of beef without sauce, the DIY baked potato - this is the upscale steakhouse of the '80s! I remember these places! I thought Ruth's Chris, Myron's and Capital Grille had eliminated all these places? details As we entered the downstairs, the hostess told us to sit anywhere, including upstairs. Once upstairs, the wait staff told us to sit anywhere, including the veranda. Since the Mexican Independence Day celebration was taking place in the square overlooked by the veranda, we sat outside. Then the waiter told us we could not sit there. We returned inside and sat at a booth. Once seated the waiter asked us if we would like him to carry one of the two-top tables outside so we could sit on the veranda. While this was very considerate, we were afraid to move anymore! The upstairs space is small. The booths are fine, but I would avoid taking the tables between the booths and the exhibition cooking area. The building is charming. Very old, with a horse racing theme. Parts of the dining area could use some upgrades. For example, the doors to the veranda are in need of care. A few thousand too many entries and exits, I would suspect. On the upside the ceiling is fantastic, perhaps recently renovated? And the air conditioning was strong enough to keep up with the comings-and-goings of wait staff to the veranda AND an open grill. While we stayed at the La Posada, parking could be challenging if you're just dropping in for a meal. Perhaps you could use the La Posada valet?

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. We had drinks at the bar to begin with and even ordered a few appetizers that were fantastic!! The frog legs and the charbroiled oysters! I could have ended my night right there but elected to remain at the bar and ordered the Tomahawk for 2. In all the excitement I only took pictures on Snapchat and have none to share here! I guess I have to return!

Good location for this steakhouse behind border foundry. Plenty of parking…read more Atmosphere is nice, decor of the place was really good. Servers are friendly and well dressed, this is a high end spot. Table bread was good, came with chimmichurri and butter, it was good. So good in fact that they asked me if I wanted another bread, and I said of course. What they failed to mention is that they charged $5 for the bread, wasn't expecting that at all. No one advised me of that but alright. We ordered a shrimp with oil dish, cooked in a cast iron, this was outstanding! Great flavor, came with 6 pieces of shrimp and came out on a hot cast iron pan. Highly recommend. I ordered a 15 oz picahna and my wife ordered 12 oz American ribeye. The ribeye was thin, but cooked well. However they failed to season the steak. The picahna was cooked okay, also poorly seasoned. When you think of picahna , you think of the fat cap, tell me why my picahna did not have any fat cap on it? They carved out the fat! I mean cmon man, you're an Argentinian steakhouse and you do that, that is blasphemy. Then they cut my steak, let it bleed out on the plate. Is this their first time or what? Leave the steak whole, like my wife's ribeye. The second saddest steak I've eaten. The worst one was a ribeye I had at Otillias. Steak came with steak fries and they were okay. My wife's baked potato wasn't fully cooked either Overall this place missed the mark and for paying $115 for two people before tip, you're better off grilling your own steaks for a lot less. I paid $40 for the picahna and $39 for my wife's steak. I wanted to give this place 3 stars but that bs bread move left me upset. I honestly think if you're looking for a decent steak, save yourself some money and go to Texas or Longhorns steakhouse.

This is a classy restaurant in the north part of town, but it is also located near my client's…read moresite. It made for an easy choice when it came to a lunch option. The prices here are reasonable compared to Houston or Dallas, for example, but most everything is a la carte, so you can spend a lot quickly if not careful. My eyes were set on the seabass ceviche, so I know I had to have that. I also wanted a cocktail, but I remembered I had a long drive ahead of me, so I just opted for more food instead. I ordered the corn flake fried chicken sandwich. Ceviche - a nicely sized portion that comes with 2 crispy tortillas. Inside the ceviche are finely diced carrots, red onions and cucumbers, cilantro, sliced avocado, and numerous pieces of diced fish and lime juice at the bottom. 5/5 Chicken sandwich - served on a plate with 2 sliced yellow cherry tomatoes sitting face down. This has a large breast, with pickles and cole slaw. 3/5 This is my kinda place, and it seems fairly unusual to find a restaurant like this in Laredo of all places. I would definitely come back on my next visit to Laredo.
