For you Lake Highlands dwellers, the closest Cantina Larendo location is at 6025 Royal, a few miles west of I-75, or, if you live closer to the East Dallas end of LH, 2031 Abrams.

Cantina Laredo has, in my opinion, the best guacamole around. It’s made tableside, so you can tell them how easy to go on the chopped onion. I’m also a huge fan of the chevice here because it’s peppered with capers — not traditional, but it works well with the scallops and lime juice.
