Lauriol Plaza

I don’t know anyone who goes to Lauriol for the food. It’s a place that best for sipping frozen margaritas on the roof deck. Or snag a table on the patio in the summer and bring your pooch along to hang out.

Way too crowded, food overrated, a little too fratty… but I always have a great time and meal here. First place I think of for happy hour when the weather’s nice. The rooftop is always good. Fun atmosphere. Always go home stuffed and sort of drunk. The shrimp enchiladas are very good.

I finally made to Lauriol Plaza on Saturday. The GF and I split a double order of combo fajitas – after drinking some reasonably tasty margaritas in the packed crowd, waiting for about 30-45 minutes for a table outside. The fajitas were good; the steak came with garlic butter, and the chicken was grilled with the skin on. Despite that, the chicken was somewhat dry, although quite tasty. The garlic butter and excellent guac made up for it, though. All in all, it was a good to spend a night out in the nice Spring air, before it gets too muggy.
