I drive across town for their birria tacos!! The person who said it was too spicy must not be used to most Texas food...it tells you on the menu it comes with habanero pickled onions. I hate onions but I'll pour a jar of these all over my face. I also add their spicy salsa to these tacos AND the spicy red chimichurri sauce...which I could drink it's so good I would fight a homeless guy to get their tacos read more

We wanted to try this place because it had birria tacos and wasn't too far from our house. The birria tacos were decent, though they had very spicy pickled onions in them and it took away from the flavor in my opinion. We also tried their empanadas, which were just ok. Drinks were kind of watered down, though, and we were surprised to find out that the sodas are not free refills! Kind of weird and soured our experience, especially since we found this out after we got the bill. Overall, the place is just ok. There are a lot of other tex mex restaurants around that are a better value for the money. I think they were expensive because they're close to Seven Lakes High School and know people will just pay for the convenience. read more

Chips are a little thicker than I'm used to but still fine. Salsa is quite flavorful & a little spicy. Their margarita flight of 4 drinks are all served frozen: house, watermelon, top shelf & a mojito. No substitutes to get any on the rocks but the server said if I could sub out the mojito for one of the other flavors already in the flight. The flights are definitely something to order & share with at least 1 person. They were tasty & had a nice little hidden kick to them. The food was very good. Had a party of 7 & everyone enjoyed their food. I had fajita beef street tacos. They were flavorful & I really enjoyed the accompanying charro beans. I typically don't eat the beans but these were good. Service was good. The atmosphere is kinda quaint like a "neighborhood spot" vibe. I would definitely return. read more

We had a great time at Tonati for my mother in laws birthday. Our waitress Kelly was amazing and super attentive she made sure my mom had a dessert and we sang Happy Birthday. The drinks were good and not watered down. The casamiento was delicious. The fish and shrimp were bland and the Mexican rice my wife ordered tasted like jasmine rice with oil and a little Tomato paste. The gorditas were good but had a little too much masa. They were a little This for my liking. read more

Beautifully decorated restaurant located in a small retail center. Parking can be limited if very busy but that would never turn me away. The restaurant is relatively small and the staff closely monitors each table. The menu is surprisingly large with many food and drink options for happy hour. The food is simple but so delicious. The fajita beef enchiladas with refried black beans were full of flavor. However, the margaritas were the star of the experience. The margarita flight had four ceramic mugs generously filled flavored options. They seem to only come frozen but you may want help putting them away. Overall, an excellent choice for TexMex dining without the rush often experienced with chain restaurants. read more

My daughter wanted for some reason to try Birria Tacos so I found this restaurant close by our house on Google. I realized quickly as we walked in that this is where Pane Vino used to be. It's a super cute & cozy location. The staff were all amazingly nice but the food was just okay. The Birria tacos were a total no-go. They were way too spicy and the meat didn't really have much flavor, plus the birria sauce was just grease, lots of it. The sopes cubano were really good & the street tacos were also great. The beans were not really good, they tasted like beans with water & a little bit of pico. Overall, I think I would give them another try. read more

Where have I been? This is a little gem right around the corner from my home for nearly the past 20 years. It's a wonderful restaurant absolute delicious food surroundings, and service. Tex-Mex in and around Houston Texas has to be exceptional in order to survive. It is the most ubiquitous cuisine. in this area of Texas and as such must be outstanding in order for a restaurant to survive, and I can assure you this restaurant that has been here for I don't know how many years will survive however many years more the owner and manager wish for it to survive. Salsa and chips are always a good way to predict your mail and in this particular establishment both are truthfully outstanding. Guacamole is another indicator and the guacamole in this particular restaurant is flavorful abundant and quite fresh. Lastly, I had a plantain with chicken and a chimichurri sauce , which was incredible. I've never really had anything like this before in a Mexican restaurant, but it was just wonderful. The bar has quality liquor or mixed drinks, which are an incredible compliment to an already wonderful experience. I would assume I'm the last person in the neighborhood to even know that this establishment exist, but I must tell you it is well worth visiting. read more

If you didn't KNOW...NOW YOU KNOW! The hubby and I was craving Mexican street tacos and we stopped in to try their Happy Hour menu. Our waitress Deana was the BEST and suggested the Sopes Cubanos and they were so delicious. Also, I've tried the Birria tacos and the flavors and consommé is simply amazing. HIGHLY recommend!

We eat at Tonati pretty regularly... Anytime I want something more than the common "Tex-Mex", a higher quality meal and a more diverse menu! The drinks are great, the salsa is a little spicy, so many tacos, amazing apps, variety of meats and sauces, and even the Sopa Verde hit the spot when I had a cold & a sore throat. It's also great for groups, celebrating an event. One of our favorite spots! read more

I'm not sure how or why this spot was NOT crowded on a Saturday night but they need more customers! The service was great (our servers name was Ian I believe), the food was a TEN all around (except for the charro style beans, those didn't have as much flavor as we're used to), and the drinks were amazing! We had a party of 5 adults and 2 kids so they sat us in the room that had doors they could close and we asked them to close them since we were loud so we really appreciated that! It is a smaller restaurant but it's really cute and colorful and filled with so much history. Inside the room we were seated, the ceiling was covered in upside down corn on the cobs which in my opinion was a nice touch! We were served chips and salsa and OH MY GOSH the salsa was so different but SO good! I ordered the spicy cucumber mezcal margarita and it was just the right amount of spice, my husband ordered the guava margarita and I ended up ordering that one as well because it tasted so fresh! I ordered the pozole verde and it came served in a silver pot which made it feel more authentic, it also came with a side of rice and beans. This soup did not disappoint! Anytime I'm feeling under the weather, my husband will be stopping by to grab an order for sure! My husband ordered a taco plate and it had so much flavor, I was honestly surprised! My brother in law ordered tacos as well but these corn tortillas came blue which was really cool and he ate all of them! My sister in law ordered something else, I can't remember since she was sitting on the opposite side at the end but I'm sure she enjoyed her food. And same thing for my mother in law! The other thing I forgot about, the kids ordered chicken tenders but when I took a bite, there really was no flavor at all and when we reheated them the next day, they were way too hard to even try to eat so that was a disappointment. All in all, we will be back to try other options on the menu! read more

Love this restaurant! Tonati's is not your average Tex Mex and frankly think that it's more Mex than Tex. However you categorize this place, you will enjoy great dishes, excellent service, fun cocktails all wrapped in a beautiful restaurant Save room for dessert! read more

Reached out about 10 days prior to an event for catering for 30. Quote was professional, delivery and setup was efficient and cordial, and food was fantastic. Only thing was some of the meat on top of container wasn't hot but it heated up quickly once sternos were on for a bit and I stirred. We have some vegetarians so they provided a lovely tray of grilled veggies along with the beef and chicken fajitas. The food was presented beautifully and it was delicious and plentiful. Will definitely recommend! read more

10/10 every time I visit! The tacos gobe are by far my favorite item on the menu! They are shrimp tacos in a garlic sauce & they are so flavorful. The tortillas are so good and the texture is amazing! We also got the Tonati chicken & it was delicious as well! I got a watermelon agua fresca and it was very flavorful! The owner is also such a kind person and remembers me each time I go, which is so sweet! read more

Tonati Mexican Grill wasn't our first choice initially (we were considering a different cuisine with some rough reviews), but I'm so glad we decided to give it a shot! The food was delicious and flavorful, the decor was fantastic, the staff were friendly, and the bathrooms were clean. My only minor complaint is that our server forgot my drink and the side I ordered, and the parking fills up quickly. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to coming back the next time I'm in town (I'm from California). read more

I love this restaurant. I discovered it just a few months ago. Their drinks are very good. They have a nice selection of margaritas, both classic and unique. Their chips appeared to be homemade. And their salsa is very good. It has some bite to it. The food is also extremely good. The beef street tacos are excellent. The atmosphere is so nice. And the bartender was able to make me a Mexican martini off the menu. I will definitely be coming back to this place. read more

Where do I begin... the guacamole was good, I heard queso was good, I heard michelada was good, carne asada was good. Now...the chips had no salt, the charro beans had no flavor, cheese enchiladas were bland and no flavor, and then they forgot my chicken tostados and when they brought them, the CHICKEN WAS NOT COOKED! Well thought we had a new place to go eat but then we ate there. Don't recommend! read more

All I can do is plan on coming back and back and back again. There are so many great things to try. I've been waiting for the place to open and I am absolutely blown away! They've been open for a week so it's still in soft open phase. But if it gets better from here. Just wow! If you like Mexican cocktails gotta come here. Food is awesome too. But they are serious about thier drinks. They didn't have the right ice cube so they wouldn't sell me a old fashioned. Really? Who does that? People who care about quality and doing things right. This family owned business (3 brothers and the wives) is worth dropping by for a good bite and relaxing cocktail. Did I mention that I can't wait to come back?? read more

We got there and waited 2 hour for food and then gave us uncooked chicken they should change the name to tonasty

I'd comeback just for the Sopapillas! I tried coming here last week but they are closed on Monday so that was a bummer. I'm glad we made another visit! The service was super quick and constantly checking on us. I got the fajitas and they were good! I will say the beef was much better than the chicken. It was a little dry and flavorless. My kids also tried the watermelon juice and had to get refills they drank so much! Now the best part, definitely the Sopapillas! They are served as nachos with ice cream to dip in. The chips themselves were light and fluffy. Great, fun way to do Sopapillas! We could have eaten two orders of them between two adults and 2 young kids even after I thought I was stuffed from dinner. read more

For a Tuesday night out it their all day happy hour. So we started with amazing margarita in lil clay jug too cute and perfect start to our evening. The menu has wonderful choices. Spirits and wine menu also a full adventure. I had the chicken pozole and husband had the shrimp tacos. The Pozole was aubuela level of amazing chicken broth. I had a side of fresh house made corn tortillas omg wonderful. The menu is not just standard Mexican fare there's some solid traditional items like mole which I will try on next visit. The ambiance is warm and inviting great simple date night. A family and friends or work group place. There's a decent size artful cultural rich semi private room with doors. The staff is gracious and friendly. You can come casual or dressed. Please go have a drink and a meal. read more

We wanted to try something new so we tried this place for a work lunch. When you walk in it smells like garlic and not surprising, either the beans, the rice, or maybe the enchilada sauce is extremely garlic forward. The atmosphere is upbeat and there's some cool textures and colors around the place. It has a bar area which is nice because it is a small location. Plenty of options on the menu with a separate lunch menu. Our server was really quiet but was knowledgeable enough to answer basic questions about the menu. Will I be back? Not likely, only because there's so many other Mexican or Tex-mex options that I like better. read more

This place serves incredibly fresh, flavorful food that keeps me coming back. I'm especially obsessed with their nopal tacos, such a good mix of flavors and unique. The appetizers are fantastic too. Both the veggie quesadillas and elotes are packed with flavor. But the real star for me is the Paloma margarita, easily one of the best I've had. Hands-down one of the top Mexican spots on this side of town read more

We were back in that corner of Katy and Mexican food sounded great. Service- fast, friendly, sweet natured Watermelon margarita- small but MIGHTY, nothing artificial (and I urge everyone to get one this summer). Grilled pineapple salad- perfect in every possible way! read more

A good local Mexican restaurant with some great lunch deals. The tacos were especially delicious. I'll be back because it's so convenient and good, but I'll also be trying other Mexican places -- I didn't see fajitas on the menu (I saw beef fajita tacos, but not proper fajitas). read more

Happened to stop in randomly while looking for some tacos in the Katy/Fry Road area. Extremely happy with the food and service and will definitely be back soon. Great menu with so many different things to try. We dont usually order appetizers but don't think we will be able to skip the Sopas Cubano again. We barely got a picture of it, as we were so excited to try them. Great marinade on the chicken and nice sweetness with the plantain. The fish and birria tacos hit the spot. They really know how to manage the blue corn tortillas. We literally can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu. P.S. my wife said the Paloma was the best she's had yet. read more

There is a new location in Memorial - what a cool little place. Tacos are super inventive and margaritas are so strong and super fun.

Still recovering after a Tonsillectomy and trying to find something other than potatoes LOL. Saw the great reviews other customers gave and my Sis and I decided to give it a try. What was even better it was Happy Hour time! OMG!!! Everything was AMAZING! I order the Sopes Cubanos! It was soooo good I ordered it for my main course too! LOL My sister ordered the Empanadas...she said they filling was delicious but the dough was to thick and under cooked! She also had 2 Watermelon Margaritas and they were Excellent! Perfect spot for any occasion. Can't wait to come back again. I will read more

We went last night for the first time. I can say that the margaritas were the best I've ever had. And I thought I had found the best already! We got the sampler, so we tried 3 of them. The food was also excellent. We had queso, chicken mole and plantains with ice cream for desert. We can't wait to go back and try more. The service was fantastic and the ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. Tomato will become a regular place for us now! read more

This place is just across the street from us and love all their dishes. Their staff is friendly and love their salsas.

We ate here tonight and it was a nice change, a cute little neighborhood restaurant, the service is friendly and fast.

We would definitely return. read more

5pm Saturday in August Parking is shared with the strip center. It can be limited. The ambiance is welcoming, friendly, and picturesque. We were greeted and immediately sat. It was not busy inside the restaurant. The space is deceptively spacious. Our server Ismael was awesome. He was knowledgeable about the menu, he made recommendations, and was extremely patient (I'll explain later). My girl & I both had an order of tacos. I had street tacos. I can't remember her tank order. Both dishes were delectable. The kind of tortilla was different from what I'm used to. It was flavorful and added to the overall experience. The meat was well seasoned. There are added harbor garnishes that were surprisingly tasty. Pineapples are one of the additions. That was a great touch. I don't drink so everything you see alcoholic wise is being rated from my girl. All drinks were good. The top shelf option in the flight was "strong." We called in reinforcements to help finish all the drinks posted. This is where our server's patience came into play. We arrived around 5pm and left the restaurant after 10pm. I know, I know, we were that couple. My only complaint was that every batch of chips were stale. I'm not sure if that's the new norm in restaurants or if my mouth and standards to judge staleness is changing. This isn't the 1st restaurant with multiple batches of stale chips. I mean all 3 batches brought to the table were STALE! Hopefully they take care of that. If I'm ever in the area again, I will come back read more

This place is amazing! 10/10 would recommend. The service is always top notch! They have daily specials and happy hour. Also, they play such good music. Makes me feel like I'm back at moms house for a family party! This spot has a super authentic feel and the inside is well maintained and modern. The fajitas are delicious and always come out sizzling! The street tacos are all amazing. And you have to try the dorado tacos. Crispy cheesy goodness all around! I forget who the name of the girl that's always behind the bar but she is super sweet and always remembers my drink orders. Lorena is also a really great server. Everyone is so charming and I'm pretty sure it's locally owned. You should definitely eat here -- Support your local businesses! read more
