Editorial Review for Nuevo Laredo Cantina – by Michael Longshore
The Scene
This worth-a-trip cantina is tucked away in the never-never land beyond the mattress outlets of Chattahoochee Avenue. Inside are low ceilings, a small bar, funky religious icons, would-be celebrity photos and neon beer signs. Service is fast and efficient, but be prepared to wait for a table.
The Food
In rejuvenated form, this is the food you'd find in any of the one million "Mexican" restaurants crowding the roadside from here to old El Paso. From top to bottom, though, ingredients here are fresher, flavors are bolder, and the use of chilies a bit sharper. At the same time, there's enough familiarity not to scare anyone off. The enchiladas and tacos are more consistent than the carne tampiquena or the "especiales de la casa" such as chicken in red-chili sauce. The red table salsa is addictive.

Insider Tips
ParkingThere's a small lot, but you may park in the lot next door or at the Pepsi plant across the street; avoid spots marked "Pepsi Employee Only."
Know Before You GoArrive before 6:45pm to avoid a long wait. Only groups of six or more can make a reservation, Monday through Thursday.
The ExtrasBelly up to the bar for a strong margarita and be sure to ask for chips and salsa--they're free while you wait.

Brought my mother in the other day for lunch, shes never been. I had been once before and really enjoied it and knew she would too. Mexican is her favorite and she was glad we went. We had a great time. Dont go when you are in a hurry. Youll find that because they are so busy all the time it takes a while for the wait staff to get around to you. I love it and now moms a fan too!
Pros: Very good food
Cons: Parking can be a pain and pepsi will have you towed, dont go when youre in a hurry
