    Beef fajitas
    Jennifer T.

    Food is AMAZING, decor is cute and kitschy, service is good too. 10 out of 10, recommend! Their salsa is so good and fresh!

    It was good, nice quiet spot for lunch. Plenty of hit sauce varieties. Staff was polite and the food was ok. Was anything wrong with it? No. I have had better.

    Spinach enchiladas

    Standard neighbourhood Tex-Mex spot for West U. I think this spot was another Mexican eatery before that but I can't for the life of me remember what it was (twenty years ago). That place had more of a chain quick eatery feel. There's really only one vegetarian dish here, the Spinach enchiladas, and you have to have the caveat of remembering that only the black beans are vegetarian for the side. The charro beans and refried have meat and lard respectively. The enchiladas are rich due to the cream sauce and the portions are good. I would say this is a better deal than Escalantes but that's about it. Service is friendly the several times I've been here. You get the sense they have a loyal following of gentrified regulars from the neighbourhood. Last time I went was during the ongoing pandemic so they did not have black beans for the side. The staff were all wearing masks.

    Hot salsa & cold water! (Salsa isn't that spicy, it is served warm tho!)

    Driving by this place many times, I finally made the stop for lunch. Walking in @ 1:10, I was surprised to see no other customers. After being promptly seated, two other parties arrived. The chips and warm salsa were served immediately with a cold glass of water (in a real glass). The chips are thin & crispy & not soaked in grease. The salsa is warm with a good flavor. I unwrapped the silverware from a cloth napkin. It was a nice touch that I didn't expect. I ordered the lunch #8, tacos regular. It is two crispy tacos (ground beef or shredded chicken), Spanish rice, charro beans, and pico de gallo. The beans were yummy. The rice was okay. It had the occasional pea, carrot, or corn kernel. The pico was on top of a lettuce pile which was good for adding more veggies to the tacos. I am glad I tried Antonio's Mexican Grille. I look forward to returning for happy hour!

    Haven't been here since I first started my current job like 15 years ago when a few of us came while on lunch break. OMG idk why I haven't been back bcz this evening's welcoming service and scrumptiously delicious meal were perfect. Both waitresses were so warm and friendly, and sitting there, you can tell the community loves them and they love the community. Idk how I read the menu wrong and thought i saw and ordered stuffed avocado, but I guess the positive energy in this place knew exactly what I really needed. I was expecting a stuffed fried avocado but when my dinner arrived looking picture perfect, there was no way I wasn't going to enjoy it. It's not very often that I come across a Mexican food establishment that doesn't need a few shakes of salt to bring out the flavors. Antonio's didn't need any at all! Every item was flavored just right (chef's kiss), and the textures and consistencies were oh so nice. Oh, and they have these different flavors of hot sauce on the tables. LET ME TELL YOU!! The Mango Habenero and Papaya Habenero were the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I can't wait to go back and try more on their menu. Oh, and I was going to see if I could buy a bottle of each hot sauce, but the manager told the waitress to give them to me complimentary. My heart was so surprised and filled with gratitude of such a kind gesture.

    Very clean restaurant with great chips and salsa. The salsa is served warm and the chips are not greasy. I ordered spinach enchiladas with the black beans that are vegetarian. The generous plate includes two enchiladas, beans, rice and grilled veggies. Everything was delicious. I did ask them for little sauce on top of the enchiladas and should have also ordered little cheese. They are boat-loaded with cheese. There's antibacterial gel at the entrance and the waitresses wear masks.

    This place is super close to where we live, so I was optimistic. It's not bad, it's just not really that good. My husband and I went for dinner this past week and ordered: Stuffed Fajita Avocado Dinner Fajita a la Diabla Both were fine. The Stuffed Fajita isn't stuffed with anything, so I don't understand the name. It's chicken with avocado and cheese. I could make something very similar at home, and I can't cook that well, so it definitely was not worth the $15 for me. My husband said his fajita was fine but he said the tortillas tasted more like store-bought than homemade, and nothing was particularly special about his. They also only had a red salsa that was okay to start, and I much prefer a green one and have had many better red ones.

    Ticket, Antonios Appetizer,

    No one was here when we walked in so we were weary, but the food was really good and felt authentic, staff was okay some were very friendly some not so much. Food was plated quite nicely (not pictured) but it was quite expensive for what it was! 3-5 for the cost of food. Great tasting though but definitely a luncheon spot that shouldn't be priced this high

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

Fajitas 3/5- I really wanted to love these. They look great and the cook was perfection but the flavor was super plain. I felt the need to add salt.... My partner agreed too. Not good. I won't be back but I appreciate it for what it is!

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

On one side was a family with three young children playing a loud game involving frequent shouting and slapping on the table. There was intermittent drumming which the parents were oblivious to. On the other side was a large group facing us engaged in very loud ongoing conversation. The result was an atmosphere that made it difficult to enjoy the meal. Service was also inconsistent. Our server offered chips to accompany the Tiradito but she never brought them. Overall, the evening was disappointing. Between the unwelcoming reception from the dour hostess, noisy seating arrangement and lapses in service, the experience was far from enjoyable. Could not wait to leave.
