Lauriol Plaza - Calumet-Norvelt

Restaurant with delicious Mexican options. I recommend the Mexican soup with chicken, what a delight!

We went on a Saturday at 7 and it was packed. It took a few minutes to get sat with a reservation, but once we were at our table our server was pretty quick getting drinks and orders in. Highly recommend the frozen swirl margarita and single spinach enchilada as those were incredibly tasty. The small plate cheese quesadilla is definitely true to its name, though, so be sure you really don’t want much food before ordering (it was so small for its whopping $13.95 price tag that we forgot to take a picture of it). It was more expensive than my single spinach enchilada and still somehow a lot less food. Overall, I still had an enjoyable time. The service was quick and friendly for how incredibly packed they were, and the restaurant itself is really nice when it gets dark out. However, I would not recommend this place for larger parties. We had 7 and it was at times extremely difficult to hear each other over all of the other guests. If you have a smaller group and are closer to each other, it’s probably a lot better experience. It may also have just been where we were sat—the middle of the second floor. I will probably go back sometime with just my partner to try the enchiladas and margaritas again! Vegetarian options: There are cheese and spinach dishes that are vegetarian friendly, except you may have to make sure with the staff whether the rice and/or beans and other sides that come with the regular size entrees are vegetarian. One of them specifically says bacon comes with it, so I avoided it to be safe but I’m sure they could sub that for something else.

We had a great time grabbing drinks (Margaritas) and some great food! The service was great, had reservations and was seated immediately after arriving! The pitcher of margaritas are well worth it if you are dining with more than just yourself we all enjoyed our meals of choice everything came out quickly and it was hot and very delicious! Very busy but huge establishment to host any party of reasonable size!

Decent standard Mexican spot. Chips good. Margs were good. Large place. Good for large parties.

The food here is so bland. I needed salt and pepper on everything. We payed $16.50 for guacamole and it was just smashed avocado nothing else . The alcohol drinks was so weak. I don’t even drink and I didn’t feel a buzz. I do not recommend at all. From a scale 1 to 10 they get a 5. We left our food on the table. I never had Mexican food that had no flavor. Save your self a trip and look for another Mexican restaurant this is not it.
