El Venado Restaurant -Food CA (Near Laredo)

shelby paniagua Great vibes, great drinks, and even better service. The atmosphere at Black Whale Bar is always fun and welcoming, whether you’re out with friends or just grabbing a drink. Shilo the owner is absolutely amazing. Super friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of the whole time. You can tell they care about the customers and the energy of the place. Definitely one of my go-to bars and I’ll keep coming back.

Alyssa Murray The service was incredible! We had never been here and Rhonda was so kind and helpful! She explained the menu, offered to use a coupon for us, and kept refilling our drinks throughout (its not a sit down restaurant with waiters/waitresses, so this was above and beyond)! The food was so good! The creamed corn, ribs, cornbread, and pulled pork were our favorite! Also it was SO FAST! Definitely will come back again!

Steve Johnson Today we dined in at this Italian restaurant, and since we love gnocchi, we knew exactly what to order. I had the gnocchi with garlic butter and grilled chicken, and my wife ordered the baked gnocchi with pink sauce. We both truly enjoyed our meals everything was flavorful and perfectly prepared. We travel a lot and are always searching for good Italian food across Texas, and we’re very glad we chose this restaurant. The food was excellent, and the ambiance was warm and cozy, just like an old-style Italian restaurant. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions for authentic Italian combinations. They also serve homemade rolls which are very fluffy and delicious. Overall, our experience was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area looking for authentic Italian food.

John Luebano Menudo is outstanding. Probably the best in the county. However, I recommend ordering a small bowl because the serving size is the same as the large bowl. Atmosphere is very inviting. Bathrooms are clean and George Strait was playing on the radio.

Jessica De Luna I was standing at the BBQ area at the Pleasanton HEB. An employee named Krissy told me how great the food was. After she prepared the food, she told me to leave a review and to let them know how I liked it. She was right, this BBQ is very good. Affordable for the amount of food you get. Some of the best BBQ I have ever had. Im impressed. I would have added photos but I ate too quickly.

Jacob Gibson As far as early season crawfish goes, I have had some horror stories. However, in the last 5 years of being back in Texas I have never eaten this quality, taste, and ease of peel this early in a season! Full equal mix of sizes with 7 or 8 monsters I got to the second claw nuckle on! Shout out to the fantastic cook Maria, the girl that took my order on the phone, the fantastic bartender, and whoever trusted their distributor this early in the season!
