Cantina Laredo

Cantina Laredo is a relatively new upscale Mexican restaurant in the 29th Street shopping center. Rex and I went for happy hour, to see if any good deals were to be had. We were seated in the bar area, with menus promising happy hour deals from 4-7, but no indication was given as to what the deals might be. After waiting 5+ minutes, someone dressed like a manager finally came over (realizing that we had been overlooked) and we asked what the happy hour consisted of. He told us that is was margaritas and wine. That's all he said. We asked for prices, and he had to go ask the bartender. Not off to such a good start. Anyway, we ordered $5 house margaritas (discounted from $8), and some queso (no food discounts for happy hour). Both were pretty good, but the service was not great (not great at all), and the regular menu was quite pricey. I think it will have been our last, as well as our first, visit. We can get far better Mexican at cheaper prices at Casa Alvarez or Efrain's.
