| - I came here recently with my mother, sister and brother-in-law the day before Mother's Day. We had originally intended to eat lunch at a different restaurant inside Tivoli, but the wait was too long and we found this place instead, mostly just by following our noses to the amazing grilled chicken smell.
When we entered, the hostess station was empty, so we stood at the front for about five minutes before someone came in to greet and seat us. The only reason that seemed a bit odd to me was because we did come here during lunch and during lunch there wasn't anybody at the front to seat peope.
When we finally got seated, the waitress took our drink orders while we looked over the menu. In the additional five minutes it took the waitress to bring our simple drinks to our table (two waters and two iced teas) we had already decided on our meals and ordered.
The food is AMAZING! The service is subpar. That's the best way that I can summarize my experience at Cantina Laredo. The service wasn't horrible, I'll definitely come back, but it also wasn't the sort of thing you expect when you're equally paying for a nicely cooked meal and amazing customer service. At one point, our waitress hadn't returned and we were ready to leave. So, we flagged down another waiter and requested a takeout box and extra tortillas from him. Our waitress DID NOT like that. She corrected us and then ran down to find the waiter and fulfill our request herself.
To repeat, if you come to this place, you're only really coming for the fantastic food and even knowing that, I completely recommend Cantina Laredo. Here's hoping in my future visits that the service improves.
