Cantina Laredo

Eating there on a Sunday evening made me wonder if the food was as fresh as it’s made out to be. We were presented with a very poor example of ceviche which was served in very old, tough, stale corn tortilla shells and dull tasting quesadillas. The main courses, enchiladas, were covered in what appeared to be an MSG based sauce and again the tortillas were stale in taste and texture. With all the atmosphere of a mid-market business hotel it was hard to find anything to like about this restaurant except the friendly and attentive staff who asked for our opinion on the food and offered to fetch the manger. However, the manager refused to come out from the kitchen to talk to us.

GOT STOLEN INSIDE CANTINA LAREDO AND THE STAFF DID NOTHING ABOUT IT! two people looking suspicious entered the restaurant, the doorman didnt even ask questions, they came to our table, started shouting at us and stole my friends phone! the staff didnt do a thing! They didnt even offer me a phone to call the police, had to use my friends phone! Mind you, this is quite a pricy restaurant (30£+/person),they dont even control who is coming in (why do you need a doorman/concierge then??) and my friend is stolen INSIDE the restaurant and no one cares? The least they could do is offer free meal or something, but NOTHING! Never going back!

I visited the resturant last weekend and could not fault the food, servie or the overall experienace. I thought the food was delicious and the staff were super sweet and helpfull. It is clear that the other negative reviews are written by those who should not dien out in London. I thought the price reflected the quality of the food and if I wanted a cheap sloppy meal in a greasy spoon I would do so. However the atmosphere at Cantina Laredo was worth every penny and I will be making my visits regular to the beautifully decorated resturant. A must for those who enjoy true yummy Mexican

I went hear with my family of four for dinner before a theatre visit. I can't agree with the Negative views expressed as we had a great time! The free totilla chips went down well with everyone and our steak and chicken Fajitas were spot on - our two children 7 and 9 ate everything and had never been to a proper Mexican before. The service was attentive without being obtrusive, it was lively without being too noisy and had a chilled Vibe. The two Magauritas I had were absolutely yummy. Decor was subtle and modern. All in all I can not fault this restaurant, they found us a table when we didn't have reservations on a busy Friday evening and nothing was too much trouble. Along with the Theatre trip this was one of the highlights of our stay in London.

Visited with wife and kid. Food pretty good; not overly spicy. Portions sizes reasonable, not US size. Guacamole starter excellent. Service was efficient and friendly. We arrived early so did not need to wait, but busy later.

I agree with the timeout review. The overall experience I had was bland and dull. Considering the price, there are far better restaurants you could be eating in.

Reviews of this place on the web left me concerned that it may not be good enough for our 21st anniversary. Our experince was very different.We were welcomed and offered a drink in the bar,shown promptly to our table and throughout,service was noticably good.Our server Katrina smiley such a nice person with good knowledge.She offered us a great wine.Whilst I have had better food, I have not had better very often,and not at this price. Some courses, especially dessert,(I am not a dessert lover) were exceptional.Buzzy and fun atmosphere.

Delightful service and atmosphere, smiley waitors in a soft lit environment. Quite expensive but totally worth!

Our party of four all thought it was good food, good service (attentive without being intrusive) + great cocktails at the bar (although these turned out to be expensive with the additional 12.5% service charge at the bar which we were not expecting). The no reservation policy puts us off and stops us giving it a higher rating.
