Ambigu Laredo Reviews
Place has great energy, very welcoming. Mole con pollo very, very good. On par with mole I have had in Guadalajara. Incredible handmade soft corn tortillas. Rice and beans have great flavor. Juego de Pepino very refreshing. Very rich salsas with chips. Very impressive menu. The albondigas in chipotle sauce was fantastic. The salsa verde could be the best in the city. Wait staff dressed in Mexico Independence day théme for the 16th. Very friendly. Classic ranchero music on speaker to entertain. For the quality of the food here the prices here are more than reasonable.
Delicious food! Great customer service. We stopped here as we where traveling through, and this place was recommended by a local. We really enjoyed the food. We had breakfast tacos, menudo soup, pancakes with scramble eggs and bacon and their Hot Mexican Chocolate is the BEST!!! If you are looking for authentic Mexican food and a comfortable place, this is the place you want to come.
I was impress with this place. I have next door so many times but this time I came here and man am I happy I did. Food was perfect. The salsas taste just like when I go to mexico. I was very happy that I stopped here.
Went for lunch, great service, great food, ordered caldo de res, it was very delicious, I highly recommend it, the tortillas are hand made and very delicious as well.
I have been recomending this restaurant for years, and still is one of the best restaurants in Laredo. Villa Antigua has real great taste on every dish, polite service, good prices and the back ground music is just ok, not too loud.
Very impressed a must family dinner at its finest

Is the BEST Restaurant in Laredo, ALL the Food is Delicious, & the Price is Really good, the Salsas are Excellent!! Is a True Mexican Restaurant 🫶🙌👍
Try the Chicken Cordon Bleu with the green pasta. Super good and excellent portions. The service is prompt. The prices are reasonable for fresh made food. Have taken many of our out-of-town and out-of-state friends there for authentic Laredo cuisine.
Quick, efficient staff, Great quality of food, fresh lemonade, good prices
The best place on the area of Laredo to have real Mexican food. Enchiladas Suisas at breakfast are a thrill and always a fresh orange juice with unlimited coffee.

Half of the bowl was just menudo soup (no meat/hominy. For $15? This is expensive for what is served.
Overall, it's not a restaurant for me, and it's trying too hard. I had chicken cordon bleu with green pasta and mashed potatoes. The only thing i had taken with me to go was the chicken cordon bleu. Multiple things here I didn't like about the place. The first problem is that everything here is spicy. I'm someone who doesn't like spicy; I'm a savory person. Burning my mouth and tasting only hotness only aggravates me. The second problem was the green paste. What the hell is wrong with people. You don't put hot seasoning onto pasta. By far, this has been the most disgusting thing I have stated. I prefer burning my mouth and then tasting this pasta again. The third problem is BOX mashed potatoes. If you are trying to be a nicer restaurant, make them fresh. They did a good job of trying to mask the taste; however, someone like me who loves any form of potatoes. I'll spot it. No, big no no for that. The fourth problem is plastic silverware. Like I state, nicer restaurant, why? Also, it is bad for the environment. They do have clean bathrooms. Staff only spoke very little English. I went there for something on their menu I didn't buy due to it being spicy.

If you like reheated food, bad service, and stale chips this is the place for you. I ordered my drink and food at the same time they got me fairly quick but that's because they didn't microwave it correctly my beans were still cold just the plate was hot. Not 1 server came to check up on us once the food was delivered to our table. It was bad enough the food was cold and bland but they didn't even refill my soda. This place is near my are so I had high hopes for it, was even thinking about bringing friends over if it was slightly good. But it's turns out it's was more than slight bad would not recommend and will not be coming back. Give the workers a course in customer service thanks
My husband picked up a caldo de res for me , The caldo tasted like it was 2 days old , not to mention there was NO meat in the caldo!! There was only a big bone and vegetables! I was so upset 😡 ! I mean for 12 for a caldo you would expect for them to put meat inside!! Horrible !
We would have LOVED to try this place out, but we were hung up on the phone twice. We wanted to place a to-go order, but they said they closed at 4. When we were inquiring if they were still open to come sit down and eat, they hung up. The first person didn’t speak English and she hung up when I asked if she spoke English. The second man did speak English, but just hung up.
Went with a friend, and they charged 15% large party..... 2 persons, and they charge 15% extra... they said it was their register... they should warn people that more than one person is considered a large party, and they'll charge you 15% extra 😡😡😡
Im pretty sure there food is delicious but sadly walked out because they didn’t attend me since I was going to order to go they attended the customers after me first since they got tables ! Bad customer service.
