“I love the environment of the place I especially love the waitress that I had her name was Veronica she was so nice the whole experience the best time of my life.🤗”

“We visited for a bachelorette party and had such a lovely experience. Our waitress/bartender/chef was absolutely amazing. she was truly doing it all by herself, and she still made us feel so comfortable and welcomed, like we were walking into a friend’s house for a cozy night in.

Everything did come out at a slower pace, but we completely understood because she was the only one handling everything. Honestly, it made me sad to hear that some people aren’t always understanding of that, because she was working so hard and still gave us such a warm, friendly experience.

The flatbreads were phenomenal, the cheese board was good, the bread was a table favorite, and the wines were pretty good too. The atmosphere was cozy, lovely, and relaxed perfect for a group that wanted to enjoy each other’s company.

Definitely give this place a try, especially if you have patience and appreciate good food, good wine, and hardworking staff. The sweet waitress with the brown hair was wonderful, and I wish I had gotten her name because she deserves all the praise. She made our night feel special. Full five stars from us!”

“Just came back from a week there, weather was perfect, beach was perfect, rooms were clean, cold ac, wonderful!!!”

“We were hard-pressed to find anywhere open for a quick breakfast—just wanted some fresh donuts or breakfast tacos. We stumbled on Laredo Taco Company inside a Stripes convenience store, which I usually skip back home, but I’m glad we gave it a shot. The breakfast tacos were big, tasty, and hit the spot perfectly!”

“My mom, daughter and I drove around for a while because most restaurants were packed. Then we drove by this place and saw it wasn't and decided to try it out. It was so good!!! We both got the mexican plate (taco and enchiladas) and daughter got queso and chips (she's picky). All of it was really good. The host and the waiter were cool. I would definitely come back for food and service!”

“Overall wonderful bar with a great repertoire of beach drinks. My only complaint is I'm at Margaritaville which is themes around beach, bar, and drinks. That being the case please do a better job with keeping the bar clean without old bar back smell.”
