I'll be in Laredo for a couple days soon. I'm looking for a good Mexican restaurant down there. Also interested in any sightseeing I should do as well.

Taco Palenque

Moved back to Dallas recently and I miss Taco Palenque for sure

Really? It is ok in a pinch, but I think it is heavily overrated. They don't do fideo right y ninguna de las salsas pican.

Well when you live in Austin and you go home and crave fideo, and you mom moved to New Hampshire, it works

Well you do have a point there. Your mom left the valley and went to NH? ADM, talk about a culture change.

Don't get me wrong, lots of people love Taco Palenque, a couple that we are very close to absolutely love it, they swear by it. I live about 500 yards from the one on south 10th, but their food just just doesn't move the needle for me all that much.

I wonder with the Covid if they will still have the chip and salsa bar? I did like the pepinos and radishes on there.

Palenque Grill for fancy. Good Aggie friend of mine owns Casa Lopez, Spanish tapas. Over by my grandmas house.

Danny's for diner quality Mexican food. I like Taco Palenque, it's like the Whataburger of Mexican good.

I miss going to NL and eating at Cadillac/El Dorado, Restaurante Tipico, Paseo Colon, and Al Rincon del Viejo.

Their breakfast is the bomb. I do remember eating their chips and salsa waiting on the order then having to scrape the grease off the roof of my mouth. I haven't eaten there in 10 years at least. I like the Tampiquea but I think I'd try the Corral plate because I remember the mollejas being good.

Rincn del Viejo was good, enjoyed El Rancho and La Palapa before they came to Laredo. Hell, I miss Firenzi's and Vivant's. Got picked up once at Las Cascadas.

El Rincon del Viejo was a great place, I think the second best cabrito I have ever had in my life was there circa 1992 or 1993. That was the one place I really liked in Nuevo Laredo. Their tortillas were special too. I loved sitting outside at that place. I haven't spent too much time in either Laredo, but I always remember that place.

Te dejaron regresar cabron?

Es que en esos tiempos tenia lana y la podia gastar de a madre....y aparte andaba con una princesita de Monclova en esas fechas. Para verla tenia que ir para los Laredo's, ella no venia pal' Valle

Che mandilon!
La ma en esos tiempos era Srta Nvo Laredo.

Fajitas at Las Palmas on Saunders
Enchilads or a mexican plate at Glass Kitchen
Tacos at Tacolare
A lonche de ternera at Loncheria El Popo
El Meson downtown is good


Drive down to Zapata (home sweet home) for a chicken fried steak at El Paraiso and fried chicken at either Dianas (if still there) or Hawks Landing

Laredo has solid Mexican food, some of the best I have ever had.
