Visited when it first open. It was bad then and it's the same now. Maybe it's ok if you're a tourist or you've just stumbled out of one of Leicester Square's less glamorous bars, BUT if you like food, and especially if you've ever had real Mexican food, you will be disappointed. The prices are too high for food that struggles even to reach the standards of Wahaca, which is also underwhelming. The guac made at the table is the best example of this rip off. Service was friendly and they have a good range of tequila BUT I wish the food was better and the prices were actually in line with the quality. Not recommended. Hundreds of better options nearby.

What a fantastic restaurant! This is by far the best the mexican in london. The guacamole is delightful and when washed down with a frozen margarita or a cheeky tequila is a winning combination!

The owners are often there to chat to you which is a nice touch and rare for a quality restaurant in london. I've been here with friends, family and for business and it's been suitable for all occasions - I can't recommend it enough.

This isn't the cheapest of restaurants but you pay for quality and that's what you get at this restaurant.The service was excellent, very attentive and the staff knowledgable. The top shelf guacamole is amazing - the waitress/waiters make it at the table....a must! Probably one of the best mexican meals we've ever had. The place was really busy, always a good sign! I would definitely recommend this restaurant and no doubt we'll return.

I love this restaurant! From the smily welcome on arrival to the friendly and fast service to the wonderful food and the buzzy ambiance.Very friendly waitress Kareena done a great job .We also met an owner and had chat with. I can't fault the place. Have dined here with friends on a number of occasions now, and it has been impressive every time. Definitely one to recommend.

I don’t usually write reviews but I feel compelled after dining at Cantina Laredo. I’m from New York City and have been to my fair share of Mexican restaurants – some low end, some high and everything in between, and I have to say that my only regret is that as I live in NYC, I’m unable to frequent Cantina as I choose. From the minute you walk in you are greeted in such a gracious way, you can feel yourself unwind. The ambience is right on and the waitstaff are attentive but never make you feel as though they are on top of you. We were seated and immediately given salsa and chips – perfect margaritas were not far behind. The guacamole – made at your table – was outstanding and a great way to start off. Everything on the menu sounded so delicious, I had a hard time choosing, but finally went with the chicken breast stuffed with tiger prawns – it was truly fantastic. After our meal we didn’t have much room for dessert but refused to leave without sharing the Churros and they were well worth it!! Cantina is a very enjoyable restaurant run by people who clearly got it right - cannot recommend this place enough, and it will definitely be on my schedule when I return.

Despite reading some highly negative reviews, I still went with two friends, one a serious gormet. And I have to say either I went to a different Cantina Laredo or the other reviewers are competing restaurant owners. We had a wonderful time, the service was friendly and very helpful. They clearly explained things on the menu and made helpful suggestions especially regarding serving sizes (the apple pie is large enough for two person), what is spicy vs down right hot. We all chose lunch salads, Honey Tiger prawn, chicken and peanuts, if there was one complaint it was that the honey prawn was too lightly dressed. The virgin drinks, apple mojito, where outstanding and beautifully presented. The natilla dessert was so light and tasty it rivalled my mother's. And that is saying a lot.

Some of the positive reviews of this place are hilarious! It may well be that a few are by people who have never eaten Mexican (or indeed half decent) food before, but the majority are clearly part of a PR campaign.

My meal at Cantina Laredo has to go down as one of the least enjoyable dining experiences I've had in London. Not because anything went wrong; there were no tell-tale signs of an 'off night'. It's just that the food is pretty awful, and the prices crazily high. The place also feels like a soulless hotel lobby.

As others have said, Wahaca is a short walk away if you fancy Mexican food - it's cheaper and substantially better. Failing that, dig out some West End gems like Yalla Yalla who provide real value for money. Just don't go here!
