A city can never have too many Mexican/Tex-Mex places. |

I remember the place but not the name and they were truly awful. I went there because they were open really late like 4 am or something like that. Awful. |

I have never heard of Casa Laredo, nor eaten their food that I can recall. Is it anything like Speedy's at 23rd and Sheridan with real cheese melted sauces, or do they use that concession stand nacho cheese out of a can as some folks who commented on the news article link mentioned? Address for this restaurant? Someone in those comments also asked for a Map of Downtown showing the attractions, restaurants etc. Here are some comments regarding the news account on the new opening. http://www.topix.com/forum/tulsa/TMU678M47BDFJUV5J |

I didn't eat much. I had a margarita and tequila makes me even odder than normal.
You know the saying...computers allow you to make more mistakes faster than anything else except tequila...
I ate chips with queso...queso was bland but the salsa they brought was just right. My wife got some guacamole. They were giving out free food as an opening promotion. Each plate had some fajita beef, an empanada, and a soft cheese taco covered in ranchero sauce.
I don't know if I could give an adequate review of the food based on that night. I promise to eat there again in the next week (maybe today) and get back to you.

When the one at the Farm first opened, my family was regulars. We went there for years...then it seemed the when the one on Peoria closed the command changed, because prices started rising, portions were smaller, and they put that awful raffia crap on the ceiling. Last time we went there, "Edith" gave us a horrible dirty highchair and said it was all they had, which was bull, because there was a whole row in the hallway. When we got up to leave, a waitress ran over with a highchair that was clean begging us not to go. It was just too weird and I won't go back.[xx(]

Oh I remember the place on 41st street east of peoria now. Stupid Statin drugs scramble my memory at times. I ate there a lot. Cheesey enchiladas, great chips and salsa. Yummy...
They published an Hispanic newspaper as I recall in an office in the next building.
Have to try it out again, in moderation of course, at their new location, sounds tempting, but my cardiologist may advise otherwise. LOL

Ate there for lunch yesterday...it was ok. The service was pretty bad, although it's to be expected as I believe it was their first day open. The hostess was very apologetic as we paid and certainly we forgave her  The chips were pretty good, queso was fairly generic but the hot sauce, as someone else pointed out was very good. Only the lunch portion of the menu was available to order from, so I had the enchilada lunch. Overall impression of the food was pretty salty. It wasn't terrible, but not great either. The Tequila Bar was very nice I must say. I can see many folks hanging out here before and after BOK Center events. |
