Mariscos Pacífico — Restaurant in Laredo

The building is unassuming and the casual "mariscos" atmosphere is typical for these type of restaurants in Laredo, but the food is surprisingly very good! My pescado a Las brazas (which was not made over brazas) was tender, plentiful, and covered in a delicious alfredo/Cajun style sauce. The soft yellowish rice was soft and soaked up the sauce nicely and the butter thick piece of bread was a nice compliment to the meal.

Another thing I loved is that while you're waiting for your food to come, they give you a small cup of shrimp broth for free, which was very good too. The service was great, the place was very nice and the...

Food is good. Portions are good. Service is good. Waiters are very polite. Atmosphere? Well we were sitting right under an air duct. It didn't have the proper ventilation gadget so the hole was wide open and air was on high that even the napkins would move. Our food got cold right away. Music can somtimes get too loud. They could use better cut on the veggies especially the iceberg lettuce. It's minor details but overall a...
