Cantina Laredo (Covent Garden)

• Being Mexican food people may think its really spicy however Cantina Laredo (Covent Garden) is not that bad
• The service is good and presentation of food on plate brilliant too
• We have already recommend Cantina Laredo (Covent Garden) to our friends who are visiting London and we recommend you do too
• I believe the Cantina Laredo is over priced and over rated
• The place looks great but the food is too expensive and the quantities very small
• It is a nice experience and the staff is very skilled
• The drinks are delicious but also very expensive
• I personally had a salad and there was nothing special to it
• The atmosphere was also very quiet when we were there
• The food is not bed but the portion are really small and for a big price
• If you have with u a baby is not the right place
• The people is looking you like an alien
• I really enjoyed the top shelf guacamole with tortillas chips
• Really goes well with margaritas
• Cantina Laredo is a Mexican offering something a little different
• Round dish and is basically a warm and more flavoursome/authentic sour cream
• Any coeliac can dine with peace of mind
• As gluten free dishes are considered a totally different entity
• It is possible to find something that is not dairy laced
• Torn chicken and topped with a chocolatey
• Smooth poblano sauce was small but very satisfying
• We ordered some guac and nachos to chomp on while we perused the rest of the menu and much to everyone's delight our waiter arrived with a trolley complete with bowls
• The food we had was uninspiring and lacking anything in the way of interesting seasoning
• We shared a mixed grill and some frijoles and agreed a 2.5 was about fair
• He claims puts the place in second best Mexican in London for him
• After declining numerous attempts by our waiter to line up tequila slammers we were served the bill
• This restaurant is ok but there's plenty of great Mexican restaurants in London
• With a wahaca around the corner which is a fraction of the price for better flavours
• Catina Laredo is one of the gourmet Mexican restaurants located in London
• The atmosphere is quite warm and the staff is pleasant as well
• My recommended here are the Quesadillas and the chicken and beef Fajitas
• The Rib eye is also quite nice
• The show stealer at Cantina Laredo (Covent Garden) is the Freshly made guacamole
• It is by far the best and the most fresh guacamole I have ever had
• The waitress comes with a tray full of ingredients and prepares the guacamole right in front of you
• Mexican is usually filling anyway so we were sure to have a decent meal out of it
• I like me a good tortilla chip and I'm glad these were served warm
• They were on the thin and crunchy side which is definitely a plus
• The salsas dela casa were a bit bland
• The roasted tomatillo salsa wasn't served warm as stated on the menu and was a bit underwhelming
• The server said this was meant to be spicy
• Enchiladas were served with 'a portion of rice' and salad
• Each plate glistened with respective sauces and garnish
• Scallops and fish tasted quite nice so it was a bit of a shame that there wasn't much of it
• I wasn't hungry when we started the meal but after having our enchiladas and stuffing ourselves silly with some tortilla chips I was left wanting more
• Topped with tomatillo salsa verde with marinated veracruz vegetables &
• The chicken was marinated very well
• Tortilla chips Freshly mashed avacado right in front of you with chopped tomatoes &
• Onions makes a perfect dip with the tortilla chips
• Chicken Fajitas The idea was to capture all these delicacies in one frame &
• 'Chicken Fajitas' is a make your own taco dish
• These chicken fajitas were really awesome &
• Burrito Vegetarianos Burrito Vegetarianos is a vegetarian food flavor explosion
• It is made of flour tortilla with courgettes
• Famous mexican black beans and topped with lots of beautiful chile de arbol sauce
• Their Casa Rita Margaritas are oh so fabulous
• Perfect place to catch up with your friends or family over good food &
• These were okay like the food but I feel that it was a bit pricey and I probably for this reason wouldn't go back
• The tortillas are freshly made and very filling careful on that
• The margaritas are amazing and highly recommend
• The ribs were literally finger licking good and the brownie was absolute heaven
• The chocolate brownie is definitely worth trying as their brownie is served on top of hot sizzling pan with caramelised sauce
• Overall the food was a little bland and expensive for what it is
• We didn't have any as it was a bank holiday and fishermen were off
• We started with guacamole that was prepared at our table
• Meat skewers were spicy and hot
• The mushroom quesadillas came with a spicy sauce and the blend was perfection
• Grilled baby chicken was our main course
• Black beans are my favorite and they made a perfect side for the chicken
• We left the restaurant full but were searching for the closest fire hydrant
• The chicken quesadillas were a bit of a let down but the tortilla chips
• They ordered again and both Sonia and Amanda were incredibly patient with us
• It's safe to say that the replaced meals were fantastic options
• The cocktails are still fantastic too
• They've also got great incentives for you to return with weekend offers and theatre menus
• The atmosphere is welcoming and not pretentious as well
• A little bird told me that a refurbishment is starting in September
• Get ready for a succulent food experience with Cantina Laredo
• The first dish to try out is was what Cantina is known for their guacamole
• Awakens the taste buds with traditional guacamole and unusual twists of the loved dish
• This is great as it is both vegetarian and gluten free
• If you're not daring with your taste buds then stick to the Guacamole Clá
• Sico which is made with Avocado
• Prepared at your table with a selection of salsa molcajetes and is both vegetarian and gluten free
• This is just a classic version of guacamole but is still big on flavour
• Are small dishes to start with and are perfect for sharing
• What I love about Cantina Laredo is that the dishes are suitable for different diets
• Whether you are vegetarian
• My favourite Entradas dishes were the Camarones Rebozados
• Are Tiger prawn tempura with chile and lime
• The prawns are crunchy and full of flavour and are a great way to start your meal
• The pulled pork is dewy and automatically melts into the mouth
• My favourite Brochetas to share are Mexican soy and chile de á
• Tacos are also a highlight of Cantina as there is a variety of tacos for both meat and vegetarian lovers
• My favourite tacos would have to be Tacos de Pork Belly which is Pork belly
• Salsa verde with coriander and onion salsa
• The pork belly is soft and salty
• By this time I was getting quite full
• My final taco was something different
• Tacos de Pato con Mole which is Duck with Nutella mole
• Plum and duck is quite unusual but seemed to work well together in taste
• The Nutella was a bit overwhelming and sickly
• These dishes are not served with sides
• I chose the Rib Eye con Mantequilla de Habanero Which is the 28 days aged ribeye (270g) with yellow habanero butter
• I added Arroz Rojo which is Mexican red rice
• The steak is well marinated but is very spicy
• Whilst the Arroz Rojo is very similar in taste to my native country (Nigeria) rice
• The presentation of this cocktail alone is aesthetically pleasing
• This cocktail is strong and is definitely a signature cocktail to try out
• I also tried the Juan That Got Away which is Del Maguey Crema De Mezcal
• The basil made the cocktail sweet but with a spicy aftertaste
• I chose the Berry ride not to which is Strawberries
• Even if you are drinking I would recommend getting this mocktail as it is so sweet and refreshing and aids in keeping your palate refreshed
• The kitchen was kind enough to do so
• The churros are delicate and tasted so good dipped in the chocolate sauce
• (Although the cocktails are quite pricey)
• To be honest it is the same as a street Mexican food but with more expensive prices
• The guacamole was ok but the quesadillas
• Fajitas and enchilada were regular food
• The mexican food is so rich and amazing
