LOL I agree Ruthies looks dirty.
It used to look worse but the owner fixed it up a bit..
Eddies Taco House Is what it is.. Tacos there at Eddies are not as big as Ruthies.
Ruthies Sells Huge Made From Scratch Breakfast Tacos Monday-Saturday... From Open Till Close!! (I think they close on Sundays)
Tortillas are thick and soft as too!
LJS is a crap fast food spot...
But their Chicken is by far better than any other chicken place.
I just ate at the new-ish Liberty Bar in that former convent last Friday. It was fun. Fusiony mix of food. Goat cheese appetizer. Decently y tenderloin and bacon taco plate. Date's lamb sausage was a little dry, but lamb was never my thing anyway. First floor was much quieter than the second where the bar and main kitchen are located, so choose accordingly if you go.
I like La Gloria at the Pearl. Just tried it for the first time last weekend and was surprised by the cost too (I would have thought for such a trendy spot that it would be expensive).
Will try that next time I come down.
"traditional central mexican street food"
We two plates of street tacos (3 each), a mocajete of seasoned strip steak, a plate of shishkabob (unskewered and on corn tortillas), and one bacon-wrapped hotdog with fries, a tea, a margarita, a mandarin orange soda, and a sprite. Our tab came out to 47 bucks. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the shishkabob.
we parked at the pearl, walked the river toward downtown (to see the lights), turned around once we got to downtown, walked back and ate at La Gloria. It was a pretty good time for the family.

I did this thread the wrong way.
I'm going to steal a le from another thread and start a new one.
sorry for inconvenience
best mexican food is taco palenque here in laredo. you all had one that burned down on 35 awhile back.
taco tote is good too...
I'd go with Eddies over Ruthies. Ruthies tortillas are too thick. It's like having a taco on flat-bread.
Steakhouse - Agree with Salt-Grass. Place is money. Worst would be Texas Land and Cattle
Best seafood- Upperscale would be Pappadeaux hands down. Hole in the wall is Rudy's seafood on the southside. Nothin but money.
For Casual Mexican I like Saritas. Grew up on it so I love it.
Only eat at three fast food places- Chick Fil A, Bill Miller or Whataburger.
