Chips and Salsa-taste like it came from a jar or can with diced onion added to cover that up. Appetizer sampler-beef and bean nachos looked like slop. Ground beef was grayish and tasted tangy?! Egg roll was very doughy, unmelted cheese stick stuck in the middle, and chicken wasn't pleasant. Nacho cheese had film on top and was concession stand cheese sauce. Someone missed the mark on the chipotle ranch. Right idea but terrible execution. Fried jalepenos-bland. You can't even tell what you are eating because it tastes like absolutely nothing. Chicken quesadillas-chicken was okay. It was bland but at least it had a grilled flavor. The cheese was shredded cheese that never melted, at.all. Fish tacos-fish was bland. Piled with so much bland toppings. The saving grace was the green crema it came with. Rice was good, black beans were good. Waitress/bartender never returned after serving my drinks. I will not be returning.

Story time: I placed my order at the speaker box and was told they would give me the price at the window. That's fine, not unusual. I wait for about ten minutes for the cars in front of me to be served. Once I get to the window they start reading out someone else's order. I told them my order and they say it was never put into the computer. They tell me to pull forward and stop at the side door. I do just that. Then when they are done with the customer behind me, that customer starts to lay on the horn. There was clearly enough room for him to go around. Eventually he does. He decides to stop next to me and cuss me out before leaving. I wait for another ten minutes. Finally an employee brings me my order. Or so I thought. They forget half my order. They go back, then they bring me my drink forgetting my straw. Needless to say I was very frustrated at this point and near tears for getting cussed at. So all that to say this particular location needs to work on their service.

Within 10 minutes we were settled in and already getting excellent service. And as if the vibe wasn't good enough, there was a one‑man show crooning jazzy tunes in the background. He was smooth, talented, and added just the right soundtrack for an early dinner. Think "speakeasy energy," but suburban‑friendly. Now, the food.

Food: Tio Tony's Mexican Restaurant is a true gem when it comes to authentic Mexican cuisine. The food is absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with flavor and prepared with the freshest ingredients. From their mouth-watering tacos and burritos to their delectable enchiladas and fajitas, every bite is a delight. I highly recommend trying their signature dish, the Tio Tony's special. It's a true masterpiece! Drinks: Tio Tony's Mexican Restaurant has an extensive drinks menu that features some of the best margaritas in town. They use high-quality tequila and fresh lime juice to create the perfect balance of sweet and sour. Their frozen margaritas are especially refreshing on a hot summer day. I also highly recommend trying their pitcher beer, which is a perfect complement to any meal. Hospitality: The staff at Tio Tony's Mexican Restaurant are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a warm smile and made to feel like family. They go above and beyond to ensure that you have an enjoyable dining experience. I especially appreciate the hospitality provided by Juan Ybarra, who always goes out of his way to make sure that everything is perfect. Service: The service at Tio Tony's Mexican Restaurant is exceptional. The waitstaff is attentive, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you have everything you need. They are quick to respond to any requests and always make sure that you are well taken care of. Juan Ybarra, in particular, provides top-notch service and is a true asset to the restaurant. Value: Tio Tony's Mexican Restaurant offers excellent value for money. The rates are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. You get a lot of bang for your buck, and the quality of the food and drinks is truly outstanding. It's no wonder that my friends and I have made up our minds to visit again and again. Tio Tony's is a must-visit restaurant! read more

This place is very tasty... salsa was spicy and beef relleno tasted fresh. After seeing so many bad reviews I came in expecting to get robbed, dine with roaches and eat a TV dinner; this in no way was my experience. The food was warm but didn't taste fresh out of the oven, It was still very good. The beef was really good inside of a chili that could have been cooked a little less than it was, but not a complaint just an observation. I liked it but will check out other Mexican food on the area before returning. I would recommend for a Tex-Mex restaurant in Midlothian that serves liqueur (not all do) with fair prices. I ate a good portion for $9 read more

Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing. We were there for almost 2 hours and still hadn't even been able to place a food order. The restaurant seemed completely unprepared for such a busy holiday. They ran out of dishes and had to switch to plastic ware, and my husband's drink was served in a red Solo cup. What made the experience even worse was the DJ setup. The speakers were enormous and the music was turned up so loud it felt more like being inside a nightclub than a restaurant. I enjoy music and a fun atmosphere, but not at a volume where you can't relax, talk, or enjoy dinner comfortably. It became so uncomfortable that I actually had to leave and come back later to pick up my husband and friend after they finally received their food. Sadly, I never even got to eat dinner that night. Cinco de Mayo is a major event every year, so there was plenty of time to prepare for the crowd and overall experience. I truly hope management takes customer feedback seriously -- especially about the excessive volume level. A lively atmosphere is great, but customers should still be able to enjoy their meal comfortably

They were out of pork chops, so instead of refunding me my entire order as I requested, they made adjustments to the order and still served me the meal without the pork chops.
