Casa Lopez Tapas Bar

If I could give 6 Stars, I would. Tremendously good. Support this great restaurant.

Place is really chill and great for a night out with friends or loved ones... food choices are good and not the same usual types of foods found around town... give it a try!

It was our first time to this establishment. I was under the impression we needed reservations, because we were turned back the last time for not making reservations. They're only open Fri, Sat, & Sun from 7pm to 12 i believe. No 1 answered the phone before to make the reservation nor did I get a call back (I left a message)
ANYWAYS. We decided to just go again and see what happens. Located in a very run down part of the city, as soon as you walk in though the doors, you're in another place. You forget about the outside world. The atmosphere is the best part. I'll go as far as to say "The best in Laredo". The food was great too.
The chicken and shrimp 🍤 sherry/lemon/buttery sauce is to to die for! The Lopez plate, presented in what I think is an oak barrel plate, had a nice blend of cold meats, cheese, and olives. Spicy potatoes could have been a bit spicier, but still inviting. I loved the calamari. All washed down with a pitcher of refreshing 😋 Sangria. We shared a Flan just to try it out. Not a bad way of topping dinner off. The portions were good. Just note that the flan is more of a personal size. Service wasn't as good as the food, but hey it's laredo. We ran low on our water, and took about 30mins to pick up the tab (the card was sticking out and at the edge of the table for that long) There was maybe 5 tables tops, so I don't see what excuse they would use for overseeing this. We didn't mind, again the Live music was welcoming.
As we existed the doors, we were Slapped in the face with the stench of raw sewerage. It basically said "Welcome back to Laredo's downtown" I can't blame them for this. This is a city problem. The Bars on It street, the Tack room, etc they all suffer from this... So if you're looking for a romantic dinner with live entertainment, and excellent food, AND are unfortunate enough to be stuck in Laredo, I highly recommend Casa Lopez. Great Work Guys!!
