August 10, 2021 Natalie Tallman

Located on the border between Mexico and the U.S., on U.S. I-35 and Mexican Federal Highway 85, Laredo is America's largest inland port and one of the oldest border crossing points. Once capital of the briefly held independent Republic of the Rio Grande, the city has survived a long history of conflict and friendship between the U.S. and Mexico. Its legacy is a rich community boasting unique shopping, lively entertainment and festivals, including the month-long Washington's Birthday Celebration.

The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo

Reviewed By Melly956

Most of the stores always have a percentage off and they still accept coupons. So much savings and great deals all at one place. I parked in the 3 hours free parking in the surface lot near the river. Went up a 2 story escalator and fell in love with the environment. The decorations are cute. Great music selection. I bought some confortable shoes and walked around to see all the different brand stores. I ate my Chinese food at the food hall patio and enjoyed the beautiful view of the Rio Grande River and Mexico. The weather has also been great these months. I want to go back tomorrow to finish up my holiday shopping.
