I was in a really bad space (not mentally, just in Laredo) until I found Sweet Loring. I pulled up not expecting much from a frozen yogurt shop but the bar has definately been raised. The menu was a bit confusing but the lovely cashier, Stef, walked me through the menu and assisted me with my disability (vegeterianism). She was patient, delightful and recommended I get the salad. I am accostumed to rabbit food salads but LORDT, they done thrown every and any vegetable and topping on this jit. From the first bite I almost started moaning, hands down thee best salad I eva had! Coulda told me Gordon Ramnsey himself personally flew in from Britland - or whatever his continent is called - and put his whole Ramnussy into it and I woulda believed it. I was too busy VIOLATING that delicacy to take pictures, HOWEVER, it is one of thee cutest, “aesthetic” and coolest local restaurants I have seen. Now… I did jump when CBP officers walked in thinking ‘lord the salad is illegal’ (illegally too good maybe!) but they heard from across the border that this is the spot for the best food. Had to check my blood sugar levels after that meal (not a joke, just a fact) so yall better come down and get one of these. Anybody that has given a negative review is just a verified hater, I stan Sweet Loring and I expect Stef and the resident salad tossers to get...
Read moreDisappointing Experience at Sweet Loring in Laredo, Texas
I visited Sweet Loring with my group on a recent evening, arriving at 8:30 pm. We were looking forward to enjoying their snacks and froyo ice cream. While the food was good, our experience was marred by the staff's decision to close earlier than stated online.
According to their website, Sweet Loring is supposed to close at 10:00 pm. However, the staff started closing up shop at 9:20 pm, despite our group still eating and wanting to refill our drinks. When we asked about the drink fountain, a staff member wearing a hat was rude and dismissive, stating that it was already turned off.
This was particularly frustrating since drinks were supposed to be unlimited, and we were still within the time frame when we should have been able to enjoy them. While we understand that food preparation takes time, it's unreasonable to expect customers to rush through their meal just because the staff wants to leave early.
Overall, our experience at Sweet Loring was disappointing due to the staff's inflexibility and lack of customer service. If you're planning to visit, be aware that they may close earlier than stated, and be prepared for a...
Read moreEveryone seemed to like their food. It looks great, but the taste is only above average. I had the Mexican salad. Lacked flavor despite having roasted tomatoes, roasted corn, avocado, grilled and fresh red onions, jicama, and romaine lettuce. Their ranch dressing was good but watered down. Party of four. Half the orders were ready in about 15 minutes. The other two, two burgers, took more than 30 minutes. There were not too many people in the place so I don't know what the hold up was. The portions were large, but I have to say I was disappointed.
Even the panchos which were ordered as an appetizer looked incredible, but were semi ruined by a burnt piece of meat every few bites.
I snuck a couple of fries off of someone else's plate. They are homemade and are very good. No complaints there.
You also get free refills on your soft drinks from a self-serve machine.
There's an outdoor area with games for kids. Definitely family friendly. I'll go back another time and try one of their hot dogs, which also looked...
