But damn they are doing it right. I don't even like honey an the honey hot sauce is awesome! Green is sweeter then I like. The red with the honey tho is ??????

The barbacoa stole the show. Asada and carnitas were good tho!“

“So good! Really enjoyed the tacos!“

“This place is rare, a true gem. My favorite salsa and tacos. Had one problem with this place, the price went up awhile back on my favorite tacos. I went somewhere else to compare and was terribly disappointed. Their salsa yuck. Service bad. Tacos? Not only tasted worse but they cost more! Taquitos is the best in the area and I took it for granted. I really don't want this place to blow up because, well it's special. The food is perfect I can't complain. The people are humble and kind. The worst thing about this place is that it's real and in time people will find it. A lot of places try so hard to stand out and catch your eye, yet here their love for the craft, for family, and customers says so much more. I'm from California personally, this place just feels.. right. Go ahead and stop by, they would be honored to serve you. And for how long I have been coming here I haven't a single bad experience. Not saying you will have the same experience, but for over a year and nothing but love from them. I can't honestly say these things about any other restaurants here.“

“Yesterday I stopped in after doing a major clean, I was hesitant because my experience a few weeks prior while down working in the area, wasn’t the best. But 2nd chances are a must because the food was incredible the first time. Yesterday I decided to sit at the bar because this was a solo trip. After a long day, a margarita was just what I needed. The bartender, I believe her name was brandy, is the reason I will always come back when doing work in the area. My margarita was amazing, she took the time to chat with me and told me some good choices to order off the menu that I hadn’t tried the first time I dined in. She was a natural. Thank you Mrs Brandy! 10/10“

“Wife and I checking out Mexican restaurants, I chose this place as most traditional Mexican. The cerviche was spot on, plus the burrito with Verde sauce. Wide had steak taco salad and could not finish nice crospy shell,,241 margaritas a big plus. Service was good and we enjoyed not spending a fortune for a meal, very reasonable. It's about 4 miles but quick drive from Indian shores“

“absolutely delicious we had it in Ohio..... we need Laredo Taco Company in Buffalo, NY asap!!!“

“If you’re looking for authentic Mexican traditional food and ingredients you’ll find it here. Everything from tortillas, meat, chile, canned goods, salsas, produce, candy, corn husks, juice, sodas, bread, mole, canned jalapeños, posole, pork rinds and more!“
