About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals

Created by the founders of El Tiempo Cantina, Houston’s First Family of Tex Mex, Laurenzo’s Restaurant features the other side of their family’s Italian, Mexican and American Culinary Heritage. The menu, one of the largest in the city, is packed with recipes dating back generations, and includes fresh Gulf Seafood, Prime Rib, and home-made pasta. If you’re in the mood for good ‘old home-style cooking’ made from scratch daily with the freshest of ingredients, then Laurenzo’s is your place. The family has been cooking with love in Houston for over three generations, just the way their matriarch Mama Ninfa Laurenzo taught them.

    First time visiting Laurenzos. Service started out a little shaky and didn't improve. However the coconut shrimp and steak Ala mexicana were good. The steak with mushroom gravy left something to be desired as the gravy was thinner than expected. The menu was extensive so I may return to try something else.

    It was amazing. I got a ribeye and it was cooked to perfection (medium just as requested). They topped it with a garlic butter, which made taste even better. The baked potato was scrumptious. My fiancé got the pork chops and he said his was even good. Everything from the food to the service was good. This recommended to me by a friend and I recommend it be a “must try.”

    My favorite neighborhood restaurant delivering consistent great food at reasonable prices which is remarkable given the breadth of the menu.I know that whatever i order it's going to be the same as last time.Unlike many restaurants the wait staff have been there for years so they know their customers well and provide cheerful service.

    Milton was great! He was attentive and respectful to me and my group of colleagues. The rest of the team that assisted him were great as well.

    I love taking friends because the menu is so broad that there is something enjoyable for everyone. But it’s also good for a night out, when we know what will hit the spot - prime rib and a green salad. I still smile when I see bambelino on the pizza menu.
