New Laredo's Location

[betts]

Laredos on 63rd was a great alternative to Ted's. It was almost never crowded, was far more attractive, at least on the outside, and the food was good. I'm looking forward to it opening, but think it's time they started moving things along.

Ted's? Laredo's was not the alternative. In my opinion, it was better tasting as well as vastly less expensive.

The Laredo's owners are descendants one of Oklahoma City's longest restaurant families. The original El Charro restaurant in Paseo, which became an El Chico later, was opened by them -- and was delicious.

I loved Laredo's; best Tex-Mex in town, IMO. Now, I'm excited by the prospect of a more continental Mexicano approach to their menu.

Heyyyyyyyy.... Was driving to drop off my wife's Valentines goodies and noticed from the Belle Isle bridge that there was tons of scaffolding (sp?) and workers working on the Laredo's building again. Hopefully 3rd time is a charm and it will get finished.

I've always wondered why it's taken so long for them to complete the construction on that site. It looks like they finally dried the building in at least...

I saw a few guys working on it last week at the upper windows. Assuming they finally do get it open, once you've ordered I wonder how long it will take to get your food.

I hear order estimates will be 3 weeks if prepaid, and allow 4-6 weeks for delivery on takeout!

But parking will be free!

As most of you may know, construction finally and hopefully started for the last time a few weeks ago. The exterior work is nearing completion and for the most part only lacks a little paint. They've been painting the building over the last week or so and it's starting to come together. I took pics today since I was in the area and will try to post tonight.

The bright colors look really good. It's amazing how much progress they made in a month once they got going again.

Hey,

I'm new here. I sadly moved away from OKC in 2002 and when I recently returned to find Laredos closed I was really shocked. On my last trip, in March of this year, I drove by the new location. Any news on how soon the restaurant will open?


Thanks,

Dan

Looks like they've leveled the parking lot area.

The outside is looking good. I don't know why they haven't poured asphalt for the parking lot.
