Taquitos Ravi Restaurant: Authentic Mexican Flavors in Laredo

The tacos were very good! The Charro beans work excellent. Mom & Pops Taco spot! Home cooking Mexican food.

We literally just finished eating our takeout from this restaurant and I will say it's some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. The parillada I ordered was delicious. The al pastor was so authentic and good. I definitely recommend coming here. It is small and busy but the food is worth it.

Google says this is one of "top rated" restaurants in town, so I decided to patronize as I was in the mood for good, hole-in-the-wall Tex Mex. 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.

It's been a while since I've had tacos this good. This place came highly recommended and it didn't disappoint. The pictures don't do it justice, but I will be returning!

Fantastic authentic food 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.

This was a very small look to be family ran business. Service with a smile and amazing tasting food. My only disappointment was I didn’t get some tacos to go to eat later. I would recommend this spot to any one wanting some authentic Mexican food.

I ordered a pair of brisket with cheese tacos on flour tortillas and 1 trompo meat taco andfood coma. The service was fast even though it was lunch time. The food was delicious it makes up for the lack of space.

I was told by my taxi driver, and my customs agent that this was the best place to eat. They were not wrong. If you want authentic mexican food, go here.
