    We travel to visit family in Texas and always cross the border to do some shopping and eating…read more Because of the pandemic, we wanted to eat outdoors and preferably not on the street. That's what led us to try Tony's. We had to enter through the Canada store and go up the escalator. It's spacious and well decorated. The staff was quick to greet us and lead us out onto the balcony. The adults ordered margaritas and the kids ordered sodas. I was not a fan of the margarita. It had no sweetness or taste of lime. I drank one and had no interest in another. The other adults in our party seemed to like them well enough and ordered more. They gave me the olives from their margaritas so I was happy enough. I ordered the enchiladas with chicken. They were good but not amazing. We got a dish of jalapenos and taking small slices of those with each bite made them even better. The meal came with rice and beans. Everything was just OK. Our party also ordered tamales, Panchos, and the Mexican plate. Everyone seemed to agree with my assessment. The food was average. The Mexican plate came with a small slice of cake at the end. I have no idea what it was but it was delicious. I took one bite and promptly ordered more for the table. We loved that cake! The service was a little on the slow side but the views and the attention to detail made up for it. It wasn't my favorite restaurant in Nuevo Progresso but it certainly wasn't the worst either. For outdoor eating during pandemic times, it was great. If our next visit is during non-pandemic times, I'll probably go back to another restaurant that I liked a little better.

    The view from Tony's can't be beat: second floor overlooking the main street. The atmosphere, as…read morewell as the facilities (restrooms), were very nice. There is ample indoor seating and there was even a live guitarist while we were there. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes at our table. I thought all of it was quite tasty. My only complaint might be that it seemed salty. But other than that, very good.

    Wanted some authentic Mexican food while on vacation and found this awesome place. The food was…read moreabsolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. We enjoyed watching the FIFA championship while sipping on refreshing aguas frescas, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with a great atmosphere and friendly service, I highly recommend this place!

    Stopped in to order food to go. While waiting the woman manager or owner decides to meet with all…read morethe wait and kitchen staff about ten feet away from me. I am on my phone watching Facebook reels. She started to talk loudly to them about things she was not happy about and got louder and louder and got more and more descriptive of things she was not happy about. She spoke Spanish to them and I think she assumed I did not understand Spanish. It got to the point that I felt embarrassed for the employees and I raised the volume on my phone so that I did not have to hear what was being said. It did not work! That made me very upset and I began to get a tight knot in my stomach. She was very loud and talked to them in a very condescending and mean manner. I lost my appetite!!! I could only take so much. I got up from my chair, walked over, interrupted the meeting to motion my waiter to me and told him to please cancel my order because I did not like what was happening in front of customers. I said it was not right. And, I made sure to look at her when I said that. I also said I will never return and walked out. I feel sorry for the employees. I really hope she did not take it out on them. But, I had to say something. This happened exactly as I have written it. The woman did not respond to me in any way. I think she was shocked.
