Welcome to Casa Lopez Tapas Bar

“ Hidden gem in Laredo, Texas. If you want to visit Spain without having to leave your town, this is the place. A reduced but well planned menu which offers a variety of Spanish food, including paella, charcuterie, wine and some beer. Family friendly but at the same time can be used for a romantic date. Sometimes they play live music (bohemian mainly but have seen they sometimes bring Flamenco shows too). Something different from the rest of bars where the same music plays over and over. It's worth mentioning that the entrance was not very easy to find, since they keep the door closed, but once you open it, you're transported to the other side of the world. ”

“ We had such an amazing evening here on our first visit. Had Serrano ham manchengo cheese and olive appetizer. I had a variety of red wines and my husband tried different beers. For our entrees we had the paella and the steak both dishes were beyond delicious. We were planning on just stopping in for dinner and a glass of wine but ended up staying for the live music. The food and service were spectacular but the ambiance was unmatched especially in Laredo. ”

“ It was our first time to this establishment. I was under the impression we needed reservations, because we were turned back the last time for not making reservations. They're only open Fri, Sat, & Sun from 7pm to 12 i believe. No 1 answered the phone before to make the reservation nor did I get a call back (I left a message) ANYWAYS. We decided to just go again and see what happens. Located in a very run down part of the city, as soon as you walk in though the doors, you're in another place. You forget about the outside world. The atmosphere is the best part. I'll go as far as to say "The best in Laredo". The food was great too. The chicken and shrimp sherry/lemon/buttery sauce is to to die for! The Lopez plate, presented in what I think is an oak barrel plate, had a nice blend of cold meats, cheese, and olives. Spicy potatoes could have been a bit spicier, but still inviting. I loved the calamari. All washed down with a pitcher of refreshing Sangria. We shared a Flan just to try it out. Not a bad way of topping dinner off. The portions were good. Just note that the flan is more of a personal size. Service wasn't as good as the food, but hey it's laredo. We ran low on our water, and took about 30mins to pick up the tab (the card was sticking out and at the edge of the table for that long) There was maybe 5 tables tops, so I don't see what excuse they would use for overseeing this. We didn't mind, again the Live music was welcoming. As we existed the doors, we were Slapped in the face with the stench of raw sewerage. It basically said "Welcome back to Laredo's downtown" I can't blame them for this. This is a city problem. The Bars on It street, the Tack room, etc they all suffer from this... So if you're looking for a romantic dinner with live entertainment, and excellent food, AND are unfortunate enough to be stuck in Laredo, I highly recommend Casa Lopez. Great Work Guys!! ”

“ A Jazz band was playing tonight. Great ambiance! Really enjoyed it. They were out of select menu items. Over priced bottles of wine. Small portions. Mashed potatoes had no flavor. ”

“ Everything was amazing. Thanks to the Juan Montoya Manager for extending the kitchen hours for us. ”

“ Every Thursday, we eagerly anticipate our visits to enjoy the lively atmosphere filled with captivating live music. It's become a cherished tradition for us, as we've been to this place countless times—I’ve honestly lost count of our visits! One of my personal favorites is the pollo a la vasca; its rich flavors and perfectly cooked chicken never fail to impress. Additionally, the sangria is absolutely delightful, striking the perfect balance of sweetness and refreshment. The ambience truly enhances the experience, with its vibrant decor and welcoming vibe making it an ideal spot for relaxation and enjoyment. ”
