Laredo's Mexican Bar & Grill

Well, I can't believe we waited this long to experience this place.  In Cumming, GA there is no shortage of Mexican restaurants, so to try them all out would be a full time job, slightly kidding.  So a few days ago we drove by and saw a banner hanging out front for $4.99 Lunch with Drink included, that was enough to get us to give it a try.  We were seated and greeted promptly.  Our waitress was helpful though it would have better if she had actually tried one of the items we were asking about.  I had the Burrito Especial and my husband had the Lunch Chimichanga.  You would expect lunch portions to be smaller, but they were quite large servings and I know my husband was finding it hard to finish his meal but he managed.  I told him that is probably the reason in Mexico everyone takes a siesta.  :)  The food was very tasty and we know we will go back.  The table next to us ordered the Taco Salads and we definitely would like to try that sometime though I don't think it is on the lunch menu.  We were talking about how if we went for dinner, that we could probably split a meal and still have plenty to eat.  It looks like they have 2 locations in Cumming, the other one being at exit 13 off GA 400 and the one we went to is on Hwy 306 aka Keith Bridge Road near Hwy 369 aka Brown's Bridge Road in the Publix shopping center.  The take home menu I brought home lists 5 locations in GA including Kennesaw, Marietta and Rome.

Huddle House - Exit 14 in Cumming, GA

The first Huddle House I ever frequented was down near Callaway Gardens since your choices in that area of dining are very limited.  I was glad that I ended up eating there that day.  It was so good that when I got done with my wedding I was working at the Gardens, I returned to Huddle House to eat again when I was finished working.  What I realized is that I was probably overlooking a gem right here in Forsyth County since we drive by the Huddle House all of the time but we had never stopped in or had eaten there.  If you get the sale papers and coupons in the mail, there are sheets of Huddle House coupons which are hard to pass up.  The food is always good and the service is good too.  I highly recommend the omelets.  Their waffles are super tasty too.  I generally opt for the Sweet Potato French Fries in place of the hash browns.  It's normally hard to find places that serve the sweet potato fries, so I always get those when they are available.  Now that I have eaten at Huddle House, I will choose them over Waffle House every time.
