Cosmos Bar & Grill - Laredo

Cosmos is famous for its night scene and shaking up hips and taste buds. Duck wings, fajita & pico de gallo pizza and cheesecake chimichangas sated my appetite. The wings do not come wet but with sauces on the side, and while that may jar one’s expectations, I must say this new take on serving wings is refreshing and superior to what we’re all accustomed to. I had traditional buffalo and mango habanero. The wings are quite ample so alternating dips pleasantly harmonizes one’s tastebuds with contrasting indulgences. In layman’s terms, mix and match to your tongue’s delight. On the Texas border, fajita is everything. Sunday skies are aerated with the aroma of carne asada while smoke stack brush strokes graze the horizon. Daniel Windle has blended American and Mexican culture perfectly with his fajita & pico de gallo pizzas. The zing of the pico de gallo and spice of the meat are right at home nestled in the bed of cheese and tomato sauce. America is no stranger to unorthodox pizza toppings. Goodbye pineapple and ham, hello “faja pizza” (for my non-regional readers faja is a border colloquialism for fajita). Got a sweet tooth? Look no further than their cheesecake infused chimichangas. This guilty pleasure rounds out the spectrum of flavor, complementing the savory entrees without the heaviness that comes with traditional offerings like cake. Over the years I’ve delighted in all of Cosmos’ offerings. The place lives up to its motto you “go home feeling great.”
