I had a great time and a great meal experience here, highly recommend for a more elegant dinner. They are very open at brining in outside decor, even allowed me to bring the equivalent to a cake and they held it in the back for me during dinner. Our waiter was great, attentive and even gave us great recommendations. We truly enjoyed our steaks, i consider it one of my top meat experiences and even for the price i would say it is completely worth it. The atmosphere has a modern, simple and elegant feel, with perfect music background, nice warm lighting and good seating options. For any special occasion, or wanting a special higher-end dinner in Laredo, i would highly recommend.

Food is presented and served. Tastes amazing. The setting for the establishment was Speak Easy meets High-class City. Will be going again. The only thing difficult was service, waiting staff seamed to have tunnel vision. Will be going again to get a 2nd impression.

Good location for this steakhouse behind border foundry. Plenty of parking. Atmosphere is nice, decor of the place was really good. Servers are friendly and well dressed, this is a high end spot. Table bread was good, came with chimmichurri and butter, it was good. So good in fact that they asked me if I wanted another bread, and I said of course. What they failed to mention is that they charged $5 for the bread, wasn’t expecting that at all. No one advised me of that but alright. We ordered a shrimp with oil dish, cooked in a cast iron, this was outstanding! Great flavor, came with 6 pieces of shrimp and came out on a hot cast iron pan. Highly recommend. I ordered a 15 oz picahna and my wife ordered 12 oz American ribeye. The ribeye was thin, but cooked well. However they failed to season the steak. The picahna was cooked okay, also poorly seasoned. When you think of picahna , you think of the fat cap, tell me why my picahna did not have any fat cap on it? They carved out the fat! I mean cmon man, you’re an Argentinian steakhouse and you do that, that is blasphemy. Then they cut my steak, let it bleed out on the plate. Is this their first time or what? Leave the steak whole, like my wife’s ribeye. The second saddest steak I’ve eaten. The worst one was a ribeye I had at Otillias. Steak came with steak fries and they were okay. My wife’s baked potato wasn’t fully cooked either Overall this place missed the mark and for paying $115 for two people before tip, you’re better off grilling your own steaks for a lot less. I paid $40 for the picahna and $39 for my wife’s steak. I wanted to give this place 3 stars but that bs bread move left me upset. I honestly think if you’re looking for a decent steak, save yourself some money and go to Texas or Longhorns steakhouse.

San Telmo is by far the best fine dining experience in Laredo, TX. It is my family’s personal favorite. We have been loyal fans of San Telmo for 3 years now and they never disappoint us with their service and food quality. You will not be disappointed.

Ordered Rib eye steak. MED. Came out raw. Not sure how that happens when they sliced it up before it came out. For 120 for Steak and Potato. Wish they would learn to cook a steak!
