Description

Contemporary and clean without a serape or sombrero in the house, the Arkansas outlet of a Texas-based chain with locations in nine states looks like it could serve any kind of cuisine in its chic, spacious dining room of cozy booths and sleek chairs with the lighting - if not the noise level - for romance. (OK, so the larger than normal tequila selection at the bar might be a tip-off.)
And one would never guess Cantina Laredo was a Mexican restaurant by looking at the prices. There is not a dinner entree below $10. In fact, most of the lunch entrees are more than $10.
Tequila aficionados can spend $46 on a shot of Herradura Seleccion Suprema. Less particular sippers can settle for a house Casa Rita ($8), made with Sauza Silver tequila, Cointreau orange liqueur and fresh squeezed lemon and lime juice. We got no buzz, just a lot of lime flavor in our salted, on-the-rocks concoctions. (Perhaps we could have two of them on a Thursday when Ladies' Night makes margaritas and glasses of wine half price.) The sangria ($5) was nothing special but looked pretty in a tall glass, garnished with a cherry and orange slice.
