Raul's BBQ Laredo Reviews
Every time we come into town to visit my grandma, we HAVE to get barbacoa. And every time we get its, its from Raul’s. Great taste, good pricing and friendly service.
Great barbacoa. Favorite place since I was a kid. Prices are high, but it is what it is. Parking is tight. Good idea to place an order before arriving . The pico de gallo is perfect, just acidic enough to cut the richness of the barbacoa. Make sure to double bag your order to prevent the manteca from permiating.
Great staff friendly and fast. Always good never disappoints barbacoa.
If you ever find a better taco joint let me know. No frills but good food. Order and move along. Amo los tacos

Pretty good Val Cohen must say I must try if you’re in the neighborhood

Was years since my last visit until this past weekend. Still just as good as I remembered it. Try the Lengua or Cachete. The Barbacoa was good but too greasy to enjoy.
Very good food and nice service. Best barbacoa in town. This place could do well as a morning restaurant.

Tacos are ok, salsa is the worst, it's just tomatoes from a blender ...tacos could be better . I go here once every other month maybe less ...it's good if there is nothing else better around
Its ok, but USED to be better. Better prices, better food, better / faster service. The one in Lafatte, used to have their doors open so you could buy inside, and three or four people used to serve you. Now, you stand on the sidewalk to an open window and one elderly person serves one at a time. Prices have gone to the sky.

Raul's BBQ – Honest Review I gave Raul’s BBQ a fair shot, stopping by four days in a row hoping to catch them on a good day. Unfortunately, while the food itself is decent (I’d give it a 3 out of 5), the overall experience leaves a lot to be desired. First, be aware that there is no parking, which makes getting there a hassle. On top of that, their card machine is constantly down, so it’s cash only—something they assured me would be fixed “tomorrow” each day I visited, but never was. Another major issue is the language barrier. The staff only speak Spanish, which I usually don’t mind, but in this case, they’re unwilling to work with anyone unless you speak it fluently. This made ordering and resolving any questions pretty frustrating. Service? 2 out of 5. Atmosphere? 1 out of 5—there's not much to say there other than it feels unwelcoming. Bottom line: The food might be okay, but it’s just not worth the hassle. Good luck to anyone trying it for themselves—you’ll need it.

High prices greasy greasy food terrible unfriendly staff. They act like they don't care for your business. Used to be the best in Laredo now the absolute worst. You get better food anywhere else.
Overpriced and greasy! This used to be one of the best place to get barbacoa years ago but nowadays you have to stand outside in a line to order & pick you food. I bought 1.5 pounds of barbacoa & it was over $27, that didn’t even include any tortillas or cabbages. If anyone want better tasting barbacoa for the value, I suggest getting from Lira’s & Taco Palenque instead.
I went to order food for a friend at work, im not good at speaking Spanish, but I understand it really well. I went to place my order and the cashier didn't understand English which is okay, she asked what I assume is the owner of the restaurant to come over and he started making fun of me cause I don't speak much Spanish. He turned it into a joke with the rest of the employees too and they was making fun of me to in Spanish too. I guess they didn't realize I can understand them.. Well last time I order from them.
