I ordered brisket tacos from a food truck at an event. They were friendly and quick with service…read more Almost too quick since they literally handed me the tacos seconds after paying! I got 4 tacos for $13, which is reasonable given that it's brisket and they include avocado, onion, salsa. The brisket for me was lacking a bit in flavor, and was a bit dry. I'd probably try a different item in the future, or perhaps their brick and mortar is better quality. Overall though the taste was good and I'd go back to try what else they have!

The ambiance was the only thing keeping the atmosphere afloat. As far as the service... very lackluster. It took +15min to get our drink order, an additional +30min to get our appetizer order, and almost an hour later to take our order for dinner. To add the cherry on top, my medium-rare 10oz ribeye looked like a horrible salisbury steak. Gordon Ramsey would've sent that back to the kitchen, despicable!! I don't mind paying an exuberant amount for an amazing dinner but this was not the case. Totally overpriced for such an underwhelming experience, don't recommend.

The manager came off a little rude but then apologized after we stepped out of the restaurant. I would go back if it's a party of 3 or less people. It seems as if they had the food just sitting there until the last plate was ready. 2 of the 10 plates were cold to the touch. Most of our plates were missing items. I ordered the chilaquiles Los del patron with the chipotle sauce, eggs over medium and ribeye. They forgot to give me the eggs but brought them out after I made them aware. The food was definitely on point in flavor. The chilaquiles were stuffed with cheese and I loved it. I ordered a cafe de olla but it was just coffee with cinnamon. They could've told me they didn't serve it there. I then ordered a Paloma. Definitely one of the best I've had in Laredo. Overall the service was mediocre, the quality of the food was okay, and the flavor was on point. I might give it a second chance just because of the chilaquiles and Paloma.

Second, the food- we had the melted cheese with bread, and it was phenomenal- so much flavor. I would order that again and again. For an entree, I had the Peruvian chicken. OMG was it amazing- so juicy and so much flavor. Even the white meat was yummy. The white beans had such a delicate flavor, and the fries were an herby, delicious, crispy bite. My husband had the 13 oz prime rib, something he's been craving a while, and he said it was perfect and exactly what you want in a prime rib. Next time I come back to Laredo, I'm returning to El Capataz.

A gentleman open the door and warmly greets on the way in and out. Nice touch. Wait staff was professional, personable, and friendly. The menu has something for everyone from hamburger, fish and chips, fish tacos, and more. Please check their menu. We started with a drinks and Elote. Since we've had Mexican food for two days we ordered the Fish and Chips which was delicious. The order comes with four fried fish fillets, fries, and a yummy dipping sauce and Malted vinegar. For dessert, we had the brownie bits with a scope of vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed our meal from beginning to end. Happy Eating! Eat delicious.

This is great for dinner and has a nicely decorated space for all size groups. Highly recommend this place if you want something different and delicious. Next time i'm in town i'm sure i'll be back to try the main course items. Thank you for a lovely experience and dinner.

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.
