“ Great spot with great food. The service here is amazing, and the restaurant itself has a nice ambience. Try the queso laredo if you’re a cheese lover!!! Also their white sauce is to die for I was addicted to eating it with the chips Last but surely not least, the blood orange sangria was extremely refreshing especially on a hot summer day. ”
“ Wow oh wow, did we enjoy the food here. The chimichanga was out of this world. I ordered a chicken one. My husband loved what he ordered too. This has to be one of the best chimichangas I’ve had in Virginia Beach. The spicy margaritas were also on point! We will be back. ”
“ Best Mexican food in Virginia Beach!! Service, food, atmosphere, and vibe were perfect! Highly recommend for your next night out on the town! ”
“ The food was very good and the portions are generous! I was surprised by the made from scratch tortillas. My drink was top-notch as well. I'll definitely be back. ”
“ Very Good Modern Mexican! We were greeted cheerfully at the door and taken directly to a table with a street view. Our server, Angie P was prompt, courteous, and very knowledgeable of the menu. She made several great recommendations. The salsa is some of the best that I’ve ever had. The chips are served warm and fresh. I ordered off of the vegetarian menu and had the Impossible Bowl. Nice flavor and very good portion. We finished the meal with Mexican Apple Pie. AMAZING! It sizzles, it steams, it smells delicious. You have to try it. I applaud Cantina Laredo for having a separate vegetarian menu. Many times when I eat in a Mexican restaurant, I’m stuck with vegetable fajitas or I have to ask them to alter the dish. ”
“ Had some dinner with a friend who lives in the Cosmopolitan near by and the entire experience was great. From the welcoming hostess to the seating to the service and of course the food, it was top-tier dining. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Free parking in the garage and a small walk to the entrance. ”
“ I just walked in and was able to sit at the bar. I chose the bar for faster service as I was short on time. However, that was an unfortunate detriment. Took almost 10 mins to be greeted by one of two bartenders. Bar half full. Once I got my drink order, it took another 15 mins before I was checked on again for food. Glass was empty. One was engaged to only the other side while the bar tender helping me was running back and forth to the kitchen (which is on the other side of the restaurant) to deliver food to others at the bar. Since time was running, I chose something easy like the Nachos. To my surprise, they took about 25 mins to reach me and the restaurant was about half full. Once the tacos came out, I was surprised again to not receive nachos, but 9 very small tortillas with one piece of meat and a dash of herb. All toppings in the center. First time I had to construct my Nachos for $20. Thankfully, the food was okay. Overcooked steak, but everything else was good (picture provided). Too much time for the money. With this atmosphere, this place has potential to be one of THE hottest spots in the area, but management needs to step it up. A lot. ”
