Reviews
Before visiting Laredo, I was told I had to try Taquitos Ravi at all costs. With only two hours left in the city, I had to choose: the Laredo City Museum or Ravi. I chose the tacos, leaving the museum for a future visit(!).
I came specifically for the intestine (tripas) tacos, a flavor I love from Turkey. Since beef and chicken are everywhere, I thought an intestine taco would be a memorable specialty. Unfortunately, they were out of both the intestine tacos and the BBQ ribs.
Despite that disappointment, the chicken, beef, and steak tacos were excellent—well-chopped, tender, and with a great charcoal flavor. Loved the salsas come with my meal, though the chips tasted old, like the ones you throw away at home when left outside of a bag? At any rate, at under $4 a taco, the meal (including rice and guacamole for an extra charge) was wonderful and worth the trip. The atmosphere is very “old-school Mexican.” The building looks 50 years old, from the floors to the walls, and I actually loved the shabby, mid-century vibe.
However, the experience was nearly ruined by a billing issue. When the waitress asked what tip I’d like to leave, I said the customary 20%. When the check came back, I noticed the tip was actually around 45%!! If I hadn’t asked for a printed receipt, I never would have known. They eventually refunded the overcharge in cash and wrote the correction on my receipt in pen.
I have huge respect for servers, but this felt unacceptable. The food is still 5 stars, though.
Upon entering, we noticed the establishment was full of local families (replete with screaming children) so we took a seat under the television playing las noticias at a comfortable level.
Service was prompt, friendly and patient.
The menu was simple and effective.
The prices vs portions were excellent.
I really enjoyed eating here…
However
It IS rundown per the hole-in-the-wall aesthetic.
Parking is challenging.
The Charro beans work excellent. Mom & Pops
