Bolillos Cafe

This place started out great when it first opened a couple of years back but, like many places in Laredo they began slacking off.
At first, great food and customer service, my family and I would drop by at least 3 – 4 times a month.
On my last visit a bit over a year ago I stopped by for breakfast and ordered their Potato and Chorizo breakfast plate. Our order took a bit longer than usual which is tolerable since it was a busy morning. When my order arrived the potatoes and chorizo were drenched in a pool of oil/​grease. I understand that chorizo is known in part for that characteristic however it was more than the usual. I decided to remove some of the potatoes and chorizo to another side of the plate to try and eat around it and had a taste. Unfortunately, it was so foul that my stomach turned. I asked for the manager and informed her of the situation. She quickly asked if I wanted them to bring me some thing else or if I wanted it redone. Unfortunately, the experience had already upset my stomach and I refused. The item was removed from my ticket but, haven’t been back since.
Will try and stop by once more and give this place another try and hope my experience is a lot more pleasant.

I had their Torta de Ternera, yum! They have an on site pastry shop, fast service and friendly.

I have to say I have been here several times and the food is not bad. For the most part it’s tasty for a Mexican breakfast but the service is SO TERRIBLE that the food can’t even help this review. This time I couldn’t take it and had to write a review! They got our order wrong… TWICE, they brought everyone’s food out at different times or part of the food without napkins/​silverware or the condiments so you had to wait, meaning I had the pleasure to enjoy a partially COLD breakfast! The place was also very very dirty! You can see speckles of filth on the walls. The one thing that’s been consistent at this place is the lack of training for employees which equals terrible service and a dirty restaurant! Get it together Bolillos!!! I wish Lolita’s Bistro next door opened earlier for breakfast on the weekend!

Menu choices are great and delicious. Both breakfast and lunch are good and never disappoint my appetite. I try to bring the family as often as I can since it’s the closest thing to have from a Mexican style restaurant.

Great food… poor service. Don’t expect to see your waitress after you get your food. Same thing every time.

Been to this place several times and the food has always been really good. last night wasn’t the case. the service was not up to speed, had a party of 5 and our drinks went dry several times. I usually like having the poblano chicken but the mini bowl of fideo was really good I thought about getting a bigger bowl.. But that was a huge mistake. the fideo was soft and over cooked. maybe this was one of those nights. I will be back in a few days maybe the service will have improved.

in love with their enchiladas callejeras! This is an authentic mexican food restaurant so don’t expect this tex-​mex deal! They give you some complimentary fideo soup as an appetizer which is pretty unique! They also have cake land right next to them so thats always a plus!

Hoping for a better dish next time. Today I had the trio salad with a wedge. The trio selection included a wedge but salad was actually chopped. Not a wedge at all. I also don’t appreciate the cilantro dressing they replace as opposed to the traditional blue cheese dressing for a wedge salad. Chicken salad was forgettable, tuna salad was about a 2. I also tried the bollio sampler and it was okay. I would’ve enjoyed them a bit more toasted & topping served hot. It was a bit cooled down. Fidel soup was yummy (how can you screw that up). I will add that my friend ordered the tacos callejeros & said they were very good.
I’m hoping to go back again & order the milanesa which they were out of today. Restaurant is clean, great atmosphere and good service.

Delicious food! I had the chicken fried chicken, but what I loved the most is the complimentary fideo soup they give as well as a vanilla latte! Scrumptious! I can’t wait to go back.
I also love the way the place looks– clean and vibrant!

Breakfast is very good at Bolillos. I like their huevos rancheros. They are always prepared fresh and served hot. Lunch is usually packed, so go early. I also like their on site bakery. This allows for coffee and sweets in the evening or an after movies spot.

Very good tortas and enchiladas callejeras. Service is not very consistent though. Think it’s awesome that they allow local artist to hang their paintings for sale. Sucks the bakery is integrated, how do you leave without eating some sweet Mexican bread!

This was my first time here. I got the wedge salad and a couple of cookies. The wedge salad was great! This was the first time I’ve had cilantro dressing. I wasn’t quite sure how it would taste but it was amazing. It was packed full of fresh cilantro flavor that went perfectly with a nice big piece of wedge. The piece of garlic bread that came with it was pretty ordinary but it was nice to use to scoop up sauce. I would have given this restaurant 4 stars had it not been for the poor service. The cashier was very unfriendly and not helpful at all. She couldn’t make it more clearer that I was wasting her time with my order.

Great authentic Mexican food ! Their enchiladas callejeras are just like the ones I would eat in Nuevo laredo Mexico when I was a child :) their the closest form of nostalgic food from my dear Mexico !
