Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Never been upset with Loredo's. Resturant is always clean and service is always good. I prefer their new location in Fitchburg.

Very good mexican food. Authentic in taste and atmosphere. The Fajita Guadalajara is our favorite. We share it and there's plenty for both of us.
(5)Mzz. Julia X.
Really bland food, lousy service. tasted like there was MSG in the food, and the portions were WAY too big. Overpriced, too. Will not be returning. If you want good Mexican, try El Pastor on South Park.

Me gusta!!! I love Mexican food and while visiting Madison this past week we actually came here twice in 10 days. The queso dip was delicious as well as our entrees. The price for the food is cheap (we were only here for lunch menu). And they came out in really good time! The only complaint I have is the prices for margaritas - $10 and it didn't taste like a drop of tequila was in it :( other than that we will definitely be coming back, without ordering the margaritas.

Ole? Oh no. I can safely say I tried it, right? They have an extensive menu, reasonably priced lunch specials, and decent salsa, but that's about it. Guacamole that came with my chicken fajitas looked like someone had driven over it with a Mack truck and it didn't taste much better. Chicken was grisly and lacked flavor and the peppers were so over cooked they melted in my mouth. Not in that good melt-in-your-mouth sort of way. In my quest to find the best of the Mex in the Midwest, Laredo's didn't have it. Got a rec? Let me know.

Basic Mexican fare. Service is good. Food is inexpensive. I am a regular. See more info in my review of Pedro's.

Some of the best Mexican food in Madison. Well priced, great food, friendly service, and nice atmosphere.

I have to admit that I was a little bit surprised in that the food was actually pretty good. I'm not sure why I was expecting otherwise. I guess because from the outside it just looks like your standard cookie cutter Mexican restaurant. Hell maybe it is. I had a veggie fajita that came out, as it should, sizzling on a cast iron skillet. The veggies were well prepared and flavorful, as were the beans and rice that came with them. The only complaint I have is with the horchata I drank. It tasted OK, but it was too rich. Like they ran low on rice milk and supplemented with cow milk or something. It also left a slight film in my mouth which is a quick way to get me to dislike anything.

I've been to Laredo's three times now, and it just doesn't do it for me. The food is fine, but nothing to write home about. + pretty cheap + lots of combo platters so you can easily mix it up - chips/salsa not that good - food is only average Tonight I ordered the chimichangas. Instead of one big one, you get two smaller ones. Since you get two and your choice of chicken or beef, I asked for one of each. They brought my platter, and after I took a bite of beans I noticed our waitress hovering over me with another platter. She explained that "this one" had one of each, and that she was going to take the one they gave me and "just throw it away." A waste, because it wasn't really that big of a deal if they'd brought me two of the same; there was no price difference and I wasn't dead set on having one of each. As it turns out, I think they had originally given me what I asked for and took it away, because my replacement plate was two chicken chimis*. Food trashed for no reason, and potentially the correct order (or they plated it incorrectly, twice). *Their idea of chimichangas are really just bigger-than-average flautas; they were open-ended and have no filling aside from the meat. They also offer flautas, I wonder if they're just the same thing. Other blips in service: - served everyone but one person at the table, and took forever to finally bring them their food (soup) - we had three kids with our group, and their parents explained they were going to split a meal between the three of them; the waitress didn't bring any extra plates, so we made "plates" out of napkins So, yeah. The food there is fine, but the atmosphere (dark) and service (lacking) make it pretty low on my list of Mexican places in Madison.
(2)Natalie R.
Food was excellent and our server was exceptional. He was friendly, checked back with us often, and made sure we had a great meal. I would go back for the food, but the server we had put it over the top for me.
(4)Daisy Q.
Every time were here it's great!! They are quite willing to make any dish vegetarian - not just rice and beans. If you ask they will sub in potato, spinach and more cheese. The servers are always friendly and accommodating with our wee one. Careful of the margaritas... They're strong ;)
(5)Mark P.
Excellent food and very fast and courteous wait staff. I always get the chicken burrito made to order with queso on top, its huge and super delicious.

This is your fairly typical gringo Mexican place. I say this as someone who is very much a gringo. To talk about what was good, I sort of have to cover where there's room for improvement first. It'll make more sense that way. * The first cup I received for my drink had a huge crack all the way down the side of it that leaked Coca-Cola all over the table. I really don't know how they missed this one, but it was about one firm grasp from giving a guest an unexpected shower. * The men's room could use some attention. It didn't look like it was dirty, so much as that it needed a bit of maintenance. I have a couple of pictures I plan to upload, but I'm not sure they do the scene justice. The sealant attaching the urinals to the walls has begun to peel and the porcelain itself is discolored. There is a sheet of mirrored stainless steel that has, over the years, become tarnished and hazy by age and presumably some less-than-gentle washings. Covering most of that mirror was a half filled-out world cup bracket (at this point the tournament has been over for more than a month) declaring Mexico the winner (nope). My fiancée reported a similar condition in the women's room. * The service was...Abrupt? Curt? Brusque? You know what I'm trying to say. It's not that either the hostess, the guy who brought chips, or the server were rude--they weren't--but neither were they particularly hospitable. Requests, questions, etc were--whenever possible--met simply with emotionless, quick, monosyllabic affirmations. * The food came out disconcertingly quick. I recognize that this is a weird thing to bring up as a negative, but understand that the time from placing our order to the food arriving was probably less than 10 minutes. Being quick is great, but even Applebee's isn't that quick and they just microwave things. In fairness to the restaurant, Mexican food lends itself well to being put in a pot and kept heated, then served out as necesarry and I'm sure that is what happened. Their menu states that their food is made fresh daily, but I've frozen burrito filling I've made at home and gotten the same exact texture as what I was served here so I would question that bit. The positive, and there is some: * For a quick burrito that I suspect was frozen that morning, it was actually pretty good. The flavors were all well blended and the result was something I was happy to eat. I ordered a burrito that was covered in a delicious cheesy, creamy sauce (the Rio something, I don't remember). That cheese has just the right texture and flavor to complement the burrito and I can't recommend it highly enough. It might be a bit heavy if you're not into cheese though. * The fresh salsa brought to the table had good flavor. It wasn't as hot as I'd like for myself, but when I'm with my better half I'm used to compromising on hotness, so it was okay (even though I'm coming down with a cold and I was hoping to find a food that would clear out my sinuses!). * The prices were outstanding. I would have expected to pay 1.5x the price of what they charge for any of their dishes at most restaurants. With certain lunch specials you can eat for a little over $5, more if you get a drink. That's just wonderful. Ultimately, I'd recommend this place to friends and family who I know aren't ready for a "real" Mexican experience. It is what it is, and the food is tasty enough. 3/5.

Only been here a few times, the food can be hit or miss. Atmosphere is much more relaxed than pedros. Lots of choices and combos. I really likes the quesadilla, almost like a texmex grilled cheese!

This is about the one near Hilldale. Awful. No stars. I guess we should have taken our clues form the emptiness of the restaurant and the fact happy our lasted until closing.... The margarita was a sickly peach color and was solid in the pitcher. The plates were served with the thumb of a dirty oven mitt in the food (I'm guessing they came out of the microwave). The enchiladas were slimy and water-logged covered in a dilute, flavorless "mole" (i wouldn't call it that. The rice was instant and without any seasoning, not even salt, with a couple bits of also favor less corn. The waiter did one of those disinterested "howseverythinggoingeverythingokay" before we flagged him back to say it was inedible. We declined his offer to make it again and just received a bill for the margaritas that we also left. On the way, when we commented on how gross the food looked as well as tasted, another dinner confirmed she would never go there again. So we went across the road to Pascals and had real margaritas and excellent enchiladas with Mole. Stay away!

I didn't think the meal was spectacular but it was fast. I love the salsa and chips they put out and the at atmosphere is casual/enjoyable. I think in the evening, it sounds like a fun place but we came for lunch.
(4)dan g.
Pretty good. Nice chips, good burrito. Haven't found any Wonderful mexican in Madison so far, but this is not bad.
(3)Jane M.
I think Laredo's has the best Mexican food in Madison. I really like their salsa and guacamole. They have great cheese enchiladas too. Their margaritas are really tasty too:-) I recommend going to eat here.
(4)Marshall S.
Laredos has a very extensive menu everyone can enjoy. They have all the typical entrees we have come to expect, but also a few less common and delicious spins on the classics with a variety of authentic flavors. What's also great is the extremely reasonable prices. The decor has that fun cheese factor and quick, friendly staff.
(4)Bryan V.
It's not the best or most authentic, but I love it. The service is great and combo #1 is a home run.
(3)Shawn S.
Used to be a fabulously affordable restaurant with good food, too (and a nice vegetarian plate selection). Then in they suddenly printed new, fancy menus (minus the vegetarian listing), jacked up the prices, and decorated the place up a little more. After that the food didn't taste as good and the service became lackluster -perhaps forgiveable if not for the price increases. Our little group of Laredo's fans was heartbroken.
(3)Tony M.
This is a great place for couples and families. The prices were very reasonable, the food was delicious (and tasted authentic), and the setting was aesthetically pleasing. The staff was exceptional, as was the services. Our server always made us feel welcome and did a great job suggestive selling. The drinks could have been a little stronger, but you can never go wrong with beer, which they had a great selection of. I recommend for either a night out for dinner or lunch date with a pal.

Great Mexican restaurant. My wife and I have been to this establishment a number of times and it is always good. Last night was no exception. Chips and salsa arrive to our table shortly after we are seated, followed by an attentive waiter that took our drink order. On a couple of occasions, we have taken advantage of the 2-for-1 house margaritas, but opted for fountain Coke products for this visit. My wife always gets the combination plate No. 2 where I typically attempt trying something new. On this particular visit, I went for an old standby that was on special: the seafood burrito. The best way I can describe my burrito is that it is always consistently good, yet frequently inconsistent. I have had the seafood burrito on a number of occasions and it's always delicious. The seafood is never overdone and never fishy but there is always a little difference in the execution. On this most recent occasion, I was given the option to have beans and rice on the side as opposed to inside the burrito, but I don't think I have ever had the burrito with rice and beans. It was also stuffed with a decent amount of spicy yet almost fruity jalapenos which I have never noticed before. I have also ordered the same burrito and it has come to the table smothered with queso. Please don't mistake that I am complaining. The food is great. My wife always gets the combination plate No. 2 because the beef is always tender and flavorful as well as the chicken. We have never had a bad meal at this location. Burritos, tacos, the chimichanga verde, the fajitas jalisco; they are all great. You don't walk into the place expecting 5-star gourmet but it tastes delicious and it is reasonably priced.

This is where you go to get wrecked............ by cheese. If you like cheese A LOT, you can order any of their delicious combos smothered in ooey, gooey, creamy, warm cheese. Is there actually any real food underneath the gigantic blobs of cheese? Strap on a portable oxygen tank and dive in to find out! In the 1988 film "The Blob," an evil life form goes around eating people, only at Laredo's you can finally get yer revenge and eat the blob...............if you dare! *blurp *blurp*
