Anise Kitchen

This establishment is pretty good. From the service to the food your expectations will be met with class. I took my family for dinner. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos and they were to die for. Pricey at 5 bucks a taco but if you want to indulge yourself worth it. Places like this one are what Laredo needs. I highly recommend this place.

I have to give this place three stars and not five, not because it's not good, but one: portions are tiny for, two: the price! My husband and I huge foodies and we love to travel and we don't mind spending on food AT ALL. We understand there are several factors to take into consideration when paying for quality. In this particular instance, we love ❤️ their vegan avocado ceasar salad, their raw vegan cheesecake and their veggie bowl... but paying $10 (or $12, can't remember), $5 and $12 respectively is insane for the small portions, and they get smaller if you grab them to-go. You can go to Casa De Luz in Austin and pay $12 for unlimited servings of vegan AND organic soup, salad, entree and drink! It's a shame I can't get over the fact that we spend a minimum of $35 for a "quick bite" (no drinks) kind of restaurant for both of us. Aside from that, food is delicious, the restaurant is clean, the ambiance and location is great for us! We have not tried their drinks at the bar since we seem to have visited while we were on our work break. Many times I agree with "pricy but worth it", but not this time. 😔

Good food, decent beer selection on draft and in bottles. Kids menu items are really small, but if you get a side salad, it should be enough if you don't want a full meal. I went to listen to a band they have on regularly (Bucket of Six) and ordered a kids grilled cheese since I wasn't very hungry. It was good and the salad was good and generous portion. The restaurant is small and cozy with great service.
