Very good quality food with reasonable prices on a rest stop in Los Banos. Multiple vegetarian options on the menu. Staff is very friendly and explain the menu since I was a little confused (lot of spanish food items). Food was very fresh - salad paired very well with the rice and beans! There were 2-3 roasted onions on the platter and they were just too good. Food is filling, isn't too oily. Restrooms are clean. There was a very flavorful avocado chilli sauce (my guess) on the table which paired well with all the food. Food portions are very generous. Service was also fast. Multiple parking spots in front of the restaurant. read more

Tacos were good, but the burrito fell short. Burrito had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. I felt like I had Covid eating it- I couldn't taste anything! I was super disappointed because I had high expectations. It had avocado in it as well, which is nice for the super burrito, but it was not ripe at all and rice was hard. Tacos el pastor is a must try. I love the yellow corn tortillas and was very happy with that. Meat had good flavor and loved the piña. Staff was friendly and order was ready when quoted for pick up order. Salsas were good and the pickled carrots were a nice edition. Especially that they were not super spicy. Price was a little high but not out of the ordinary. Would I eat here again? Maybe... but it would not be a burrito. read more

The food is off the hook. Found a new place to stop when passing through Los Banos. Asada tacos and torta were so fire that I keep thinking about it read more

Best tacos! Kindest employees! Super clean. We eat here 1x a week. They have amazing taco Tues. I always get carnitas tacos and add a slice of pineapple. The rest of our crew gets the el pastor tacos. Their salsa is all fresh and spicy as heck!! I love the verde salsa. I will always go back here! read more

Tacos and burritos are hella good. Not in the best place but great food. Workers speak English and Spanish. Great spot might be best in town

Food service was fine, I ordered 4 tacos de cabeza with just the meat for my kiddos to go and they added the onion and cilantro and the whole green chili my kids couldn't even eat it my daughter was upset and still hungry I felt bad. I also got a burrito it wasn't the best probably won't be coming back read more

Horrible experience every time i come here the cashier named Angie always has such a horrible attitude for no reason. Especially today i came in a ordered A bunch of food and she only gave me 5 little cups of sauce so i asked for a few extra and she said it's going to be extra i was like okay how much is it going to be it was $1 dollar per little cup i was like it's okay. But i literally see her giving other customers extra without a charge. I just don't get the attitude if you don't like to give good customer service why are you here. i used to come multiple times a week but stopped coming because of her. I don't mind paying but it's the fact that she was only trying to charge me. read more

One of the best spots in town for tacos!! I am a person who loves their carnitas crispy and these did not disappoint. Neither did the grilled chicken. I had to try a few different ones, I had the grilled chicken, carnitas and a chorizo. All were delish! Loved the corn tortillas as well. These came out quickly so there wasn't a long wait, and the other addition was their self serve salsa bar. read more

Tacos El Tono - Chorizo, carnitas and grilled chicken tacos - Tacos Near Me - Los Banos, California

Important note, this is no longer a food truck but a restaurant since they sold their food truck a long time ago. When I first tried this place it had not opened and the street tacos were ok but not the best in town. Service was poor self-service at a counter and then they expected a tip so that upset a lot of customers. The ambiance was spartan and the tables were not very clean, but at least the pickled carrots and salsa bar were good. However since then they have let their food quality slip and health and safety fail: https://apps.co.merced.ca.us/publicapplets/pages/foodinspect/FoodInspectDetail.aspx?id=FA0005173 Yelp seems to have missed this too, so it will require the community to inform people of this now dangerous health hazard until they improve. One of the top five worst food inspections in Los Banos in the last year! I will fairly reevaluate this place if they can survive the Merced Sun-Star and other negative food inspection media over the next month. read more

La comida esta buena pero el cervicio muy malo el sabado abril /11/26 fuimos a cenar con mi esposo en el tiempo que estabamos comiendo, la mesera enpezo a barrer junto à nosotros y debajo de nuestra mesa, se me hace muy antijienico, y falta de respeto, ,,, read more

So you have a promotion of $1.85 tacos for Tacos Tuesday that say $1.85 Tacos of Asada, pollo, el pastor. But you say Asada aint on promotion. Excuse me what? Okaayyyy. I pay $10 for 3 tacos of asada. The smell of the old grease tortillas, the bland meat, a thin dry slice of lemon. NASTY. BUT I will not be going bk wasting my money on that! Fast service on nasty tacos was probably the only thing that earned them 1 star. read more

Ordered 2 tacos w rice and beans. Meat tasted old and wasn't seasoned and wasn't cooked right in my opinion. Carne asada means grilled... no way... tasted like boiled meat. Got a super burrito of asada and it was a good size but again the meat was gross... only ate half. I got super sick today from eating this food and I'll never go back. Cashier was stand by offish because my son spilled the $5 agua fresca that I ordered and she had to clean it. My son is 2 and it was an accident. I could have bought another but I just wanted to eat my food and get out of there. What happened to good customer service? read more

Stopped here to try their widely recommended tacos Al pastor on a tronpo and they did not disappoint. Very delicious and staff were very friendly. Clean little taco shop. I am also a fan of the outside eating area. I do wish they would offer a more spicer salsa. read more

Been looking for a taco place for quite a while in town. Most carne asada is dry and this restaurant was no exception but their chicken is very good so we will stick to that. For us the beans are runny and the rice was ok but we will only get the tacos. Overall not bad for a taco Tuesday. read more

The food is always so bomb and so is the service the workers are always super nice the ambiance of the place is very welcoming I recommend.

Today I had a craving for tacos. I went by and ate at the new Tacos El Tono which is at Biggin's Texas BBQ's old location at G and 9th. My goal was to find the rightly broiled Al Pastor taco and they didn't let me down. Now the impressive part of these tacos is the crispiness of the meat and the thin, sliced pineapple pieces on each taco. The quail and wine bistro sign inside will be covered up with a new sign once made. read more

TI decided to order sopes because i was craving them . I am glad i did . They were absolutely delicious full of flavor and generously portioned. I was pleasantly surprised by how filling they were! . I also tried the tacos and carne asada, and both were really good. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and satisfying. Highly recommend this place if you're craving authentic, tasty food! read more

Mexican food is not new to me, but trying some new things here. Suadero is beef, and I was told it's brisket. The tacos de suadero are excellent. Also tried a chavindeca, a dish from Michoacán. It's a quesadilla with meat. We tried it with birria, so, very similar to a quesabirria. My SIL had a torta, and although I didn't taste it, it looked delicious. We'll be back to try more. read more

I love bean and cheese burritos so I decided to stop in and give them a try. Upon entering the restaurant, the first thing that grabbed my attention was how clean and tidy everything was inside. That was positive. After checking the menu, I went to the counter and asked if they had a bean and cheese burrito, since it wasn't listed on the visible menu. The employee said they did and proceeded to take my order. For less than $7, the burrito I received was huge! The beans are very tasty and did not taste burnt as they often do at some restaurants. All in all, I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I will be going back soon to try other things from their menu. read more

The food is cheap and delicious. The quantity is really good too. This taco spot is highly underrated.

This is a must try for LB. I was pleasantly impressed with the quality of food and the portions. The location is a little off the beaten but path but I do hope they stick around. It will help once the new police building opens up. Everyone's a little pretentious when it comes to their tacos including myself. My go to place is Tacos Ameca in gilroy or a hand full of spots in Turlock. I couldn't find a taco I liked in LB until now. I'll definitely be a returning customer. Al Pastor and asada are both delicious. They have a little salsa bar as well. Check it out. If you enjoyed it, gimme a thumbs up. read more

I ordered Tacos El Tono tonight on Doordash and was really impressed. I tried a Quesadilla de suadero (brisket), some tacos de asada and al pastor. The quesadilla was off the charts good. From the meat that was melt in your mouth good to the tortilla that was thick and fluffy, this was an awesome quesadilla. The tacos al pastor I really enjoyed. Their pastor has a unique flavor that I really enjoyed. The chicken tacos were also good, but the pastor was more of a standout to me. I highly recommend trying this place out. It's a great addition to LB. read more

Went here for the first time tonight. Because I heard a lot of things about this place. Way overpriced. And when we came home my husband opened up his food. And as he took a bite he found a a hair in his food. Disappointed read more

I just want to start off by saying the customer service was excellent when I came in. The cashier was very attentive and took my order, informed me that there were salsas at the counter and to help myself. She also offered me free chips while I waited for my food. I came in for their taco Tuesday special and expected skimpier tacos like many places do on taco Tuesday's. I was pleasantly surprised when I got my tacos and they were loaded with meat and all of the fixings like radish, grilled onions, cucumber, limes, and a roasted chili pepper. Nowadays, a lot of restaurants or food trucks don't include those in order to save on costs. As for the food the chicken and pork were super soft and the pork was sliced super thin right off of the trompo where they cook the meat and slice as it cooks. Some places I've gone to have al pastor meat in chunks and often it has pieces of gristle or fat but this meat was very tender. The only thing I did notice was that the meat had almost no flavor at all. I even ate the meat from one taco by itself to confirm and it didn't really have much flavor just color to it. I would suggest they add more salt and spices to their marinade for the al pastor and more seasoning to the chicken as well. What saved the tacos were all of the other ingredients and salsas so even though the meat wasn't flavorful the tacos were still decent. As to the cost around $1.56 isn't bad for tacos loaded with meat and with all of the fixings. The only thing I was disappointed with was the price of the Jarrito I bought for $3.12. I know drinks are more expensive at restaurants but I honestly wasn't expecting it to be 3x the cost of in store. It's a small detail but if I knew the price I wouldn't have bought it. They also don't have the prices listed anywhere on the menu which would be nice to be able to see beforehand. Overall I would come back here for their Taco Tuesday and give them another try to see if their meat has more flavor in case I went on an off day. read more

I order some tacos an horchata water, I asked for chips as they are free, when paid I did not tip as I thought it was not necessary, well the cashier immediately noticed that and her face changed, well typical I get my horchata right away even when there's people behind me, this time she took her time to served me the horchata, and the chips never showed up, when it was time to get my tacos she would not even bring it to my table the taquero hand it to her and she denied it, forcing him to do her job, I was the only costumer for at least 10 min. This should not happen, her name Silvia so that you all know, They lost a good costumer and I will spread the word as I felt denied of service, I paid what else was she expecting... read more

Best Al pastor tacos by far in Los Banos!! You can tell by how the meat is right off the trompo. Juicy and flavorful, they add the pineapple slices, cooked onions, and cooked jalapeño. The service is excellent, very friendly people. The place is nice and clean, traditional Mexican restaurant decor, I can't wait to eat outside in the summer And I can't wait to try out the rest of the menu read more

The tacos are amazing! My favorite ones are Al pastor and the quesabirriias are so big yummy and fulfilling. Another thing is the customer service is amazing! I will be returning !! read more

Way OVER priced for just okay food. My sister and I split the quesa birria tacos $19 plus tax! The tacos were huge, they should charge less and give you smaller tacos. Also tried asada / al pastor tacos. The best out of everything was asada and still needed some seasoning. Birria / consome needed way more seasoning. Los banos needs better Mexican food read more

so we ordered tacos, quesadillas & bean & cheese burrito. it was quick & filled our stomachs. the spanish rice didn't taste like spanish rice, i think they mixed too much bone broth? the location has it's own private parking & is located in a small industrial/construction area. it wasn't busy when we came in, probably because it wasn't lunch hour yet.. very convenient & friendly service. read more

This was a second visit to El Toño, driving from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. Again, impressed with the food (delicious!), the friendly service, and super-clean restroom. I had a "lengua" burrito, and my wife had a chicken burrito. The "Agua de Jamaica" (Iced Hibiscus Tea) was perfect. As you know, one burrito is often huge, and can easily be lunch, with the second half, as dinner. We traveled with our Cocker Spaniel, and happily ate outside the covered patio (99 degree weather was not that bad, when you're hungry). Definitely will visit El Toño again on our next trip through the Valley. read more
