Cantina Laredo - Shreveport

Great TexMex restaurant! With a tasty variety of Mexican/TexMez good and a delightful atmosphere.. ???

I just happened to be in the area and decided to check out this spot. When I walked in, it was a little awkward. The hostess and manager just looked at me. No greeting or anything, so I proceeded to ask for a table. When the waitress came up…again…no greeting…no name, so I went on with my order. She came back and sat my drink down way on the other side of the table without a straw, so I flagged her down to get a straw. Then one of the servers brought out the chips…nothing said. I ordered the skirt beef fajitas. They were mediocre…the char grilled beef kind of tasted burned. The service was quick! The environment was somber. This place could use a little customer service and etiquette. I thought it would be up to par since it was in the little Beverly Hills square of Shreveport. The mirror behind the bar is enormous, but could use a little cleaning. It serves as the focal point of the restaurant, so the last thing you want it to be is dirty.

The last time we ate there, the meat in the steak burrito had a lot of gristle in it.

This place used to be great, should have known when walked in and they don’t have liquor anymore. Gave them a chance with food and it was trash. The rice was hard and dry. The quacamole came out brown. The fajitas was tough and dry. The quality would be better at Taco Bell. What a horrible slide in quality and service. Avoid.

We have always enjoyed the food and drinks. This last time 1-8-24) not so much. We arrived about 2:30pm. Hostess was very friendly and seated us immediately… only 1 other table seated. Waiter came over after a few minutes to take drink orders…. This is when we found out “Bar Closed” due to liquor license expired.. wish we would have been told before we were seated. We stayed anyway because food has always been good and it was this time as well… only service was lacking… again only 1 table besides us and we were party of 2 just like the other table. Drinks coke tea) never were refilled. we ate and left. I dont see us going back.
