    Chorizo and egg. A breakfast must-try.
    Perry M.

    This humble little taco stand inside a gas station convenience store ranks high on my list of must-stops anytime I'm in the Memphis area. I always get an egg and chorizo breakfast taco or two. And lots of napkins. Tony crafts his tacos with skill and affection and I always leave full and with a smile on my face.

    Tamales to go!

    Don't know knock Gas Station restaurants until you've tried them! We read so many reviews and knew we had to visit Tony's Tacos for lunch. It was a Saturday and they were pretty busy. We dined in and split the Asada plate with beans and WOW! It blew me away. For dessert we had the churros and while I'm not a churro expert - it was the best I've ever had. It was crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. We had a long chat with Tony and learned his history. He graduated from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary College. He works along side his wife of over 30 years. They are adorable. Looks can be deceiving when you drive up to a gas station and that is where the restaurant is nestled. The chips, queso with chorizo - phenomenal and the "Diablo salsa" I wish I could buy by the gallon. Flavorful with a warm habenero burn on the back end. You cannot go wrong here with anything you get. I was told their breakfast was to die for but we arrived too late and they are closed on Sunday. Thank you, Tony, for taking time to speak with us and for the fantastic food! So savory and delicious! Definitely worth a visit and if you live locally, I imagine you will be a regular after your first meal. Enjoy!

    So the chips aren't free actually. They're $6. I guess if Tony's there you may get a free order. Ring the cowbell if nobody is there. Usually they're in the back and on the phone so ring it loud and proud. The burritos have no beans and rice which is great for us. That means more meat. And I think there's more meat in his burritos than other places. Bring cash and pay at their counter as there's no tax added. Otherwise you gotta go to the convenience store side to pay. And there's tax. Tacos are small. Like two bites small. At least the corn tortillas ones are like that. I recall the flour ones are slightly bigger but also cost about a buck more. Tamales were ok. Not the best I've ever had though. But ok. Burrito and quesadillas were good. I like how they put the sear on the tortillas. Staff isn't really engaging other than Tony. I think there's a language barrier. There's a Filipino girl there who's like second in command behind Tony, who comes off as a bit gruff. But actually when you get to shooting the sh*t with her she's ok. The hot sauces are 2 per order. Then it's $0.25 per container after that. And the containers are pretty darn small. On top of that, they are only half way filled too. I don't get the pricing for those. Usually it's free at other places. Maybe a lot of wasters in Collierville so they had to implement the charge. The price is what keeps me from coming here more often. I mean, I'd easily take a $5 craving box at Taco Bell (contains taco, chalupa, 7 layer burrito, cinnamon sticks and soda) for almost the same price of just one pretty small taco here. It's nice for a change of pace and taste. But I can't justify coming here more often unfortunately. Tony don't get greedy. Keep it real and we'll keep loving you.

    Tony's Tacos is LEGIT! Yelp Don't Lie! Thank You Yelpers! Without you, I would have never known that inside this gas station (Collierville Express Mart) is an authentic Mexican restaurant (albeit very tiny) that serves food so flavorful -it can easily compete with the best in town! I can confirm: + Food is GOOOOOD! + Nice Menu Selection/Variety (appetizers, street tacos, medudo, lots of meat choices -including BIRRIA!) + Service is fast! + They call out your name when it's done (good time to give my alias -LOL!) + Cash saves time (or you have to take ticket to gas station attendant) + Clean appearance + More drinks available from gas station convivence store + Very friendly workers/cooks & Spanish speaking + Handwritten menu -marker/poster style + A few tables set up in this gas station + RESERVATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED! Note: * The red salsa was not my favorite, but won't stop me from coming back * Cashier at Collierville Express Mart was also pleasant I'LL BE BACK ! ! !

    This was my first time visiting Tony's tacos. How this has been here so long and I've never tried it, is beyond me. Y'all - Tony us a jewel! If you don't want to come here for the food, come here for the company. When Tony has the time, he loves to come out and visit with his guest. He was full of joy and knowledge, we loved talking with him and learning about his eatery. They make everything from scratch every day. His spot is family owned and operated. They have genuine real Hispanic food - and for my Hispanic heart - this was like a taste from home. The salsa and guacamole was so spot on, the chilaquiles were amazing... great flavor and the tortillas are delicious! Phenomenal job!!! I can't wait to get some tamales.... My friend got the street tacos. She gobbled them right up, too. Tony also brought us out some churros too... they were PERFECT! Crunchy cinnamon on the outside and soft filling on the inside... I was blown away! You have to come early, they don't have a lot of seating. This is attached to a gas station. So it is also loud inside. Know what you're getting with the environment, but I promise the atmosphere is like being at home. Tony is one of the Memphis Treasures! I will be back soon.

    BEST TAMALES Still loving the authentic Mexican place in Collierville. They also do catering! Cash is faster but you can pay with card. You just have to pay up front and bring the receipt back to the restaurant. It's a quick process and since you may need to wait a bit for your food it's not much of an inconvenience. I was surprised by the fact that I liked their chicken taco. They've added some delightful seasoning to it that makes it delish! The al pastor taco was good but I've had better. I really loved the salsa verde! The Mexican Rice has that wonderful made-from-scratch look that I love so I had to try that too. The tamal was legit but it wasn't the kind I liked so I'll skip it next time and try the cheese one next time. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of the tamales de puerco because usually I'm not a big salsa roja fan but MAN was I wrong. The tamales here are PHENOMENAL. Like I think I want to try all their tamales now because of this one. It was just the best. To Try: Tamal de Rajas con Queso Quesadilla de Pollo Torta Rice Bowl al Pastor Loved: - Mexican Rice - Salsa Verde de Aguacate - Taco: Chicken - Tamal: Puerco (mixed with more salsa rojo) (FAV) Liked: - Quesadilla: del Pastor - Taco: Carnitas Ok: - Drink: Horchata - Quesadilla del Pastor - Taco: Pastor - Tamale: Chicken

    I thought I would give this place a try since they had a rare 5 star rating. It didn't look promising when I arrived. A Mexican restaurant in a gas station? The clerk was a bit surly when I paid for my to go meal. I said to myself, this is going to have to be really good for me to go back again. Then I got home and tried it. The verdict? Perhaps the best taco I have ever had. The beef has a wonderful full flavor that pleasantly surprised me. A complex elevated experience. This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

    Burrito and taco
    Mark H.

    First off let me say that I live in Memphis and for me to drive 30 mins to eat here really is all I need to say. I ordered a burrito and a taco and I have to say the hospitality and food were out standing but what really made me make a whole yelp account and write a review is the presentation in which Tony delivered it. I have never seen anything like this before. This is really the best of both worlds. Authenticity and quality. Well done Tony keep up the great work and food.

    I had a taste for tacos, so decided to give Tonny's Tacos based on previous reviews. Thankfully, there wasn't a line when I arrived and I was able to easily place my order. I ordered the shrimp tacos and decided to give their guacamole a try. The guacamole came out first. The chips were good and had an amazing crunch to them. The guacamole on the other hand was just basic...nothing to write home about. There was no flavor whatsoever and needed salt. The shrimp tacos were okay. They lacked flavor, so I had to rely on the spicy sauce. I'm glad I got the chance to give them a try. However, I must confess - this was definitely not ranked high on the list for me.

    They had a limited (but still yummy) selection. I ordered a steak taco & a tamale for breakfast. I'll post a pic.

Avocado Toast Let's start with what should be one of the easiest breakfast items on any menu. Avocado toast doesn't need much--fresh avocado, a squeeze of lemon or lime, cracked pepper, sea salt, roasted tomatoes, cilantro, and a little love. Unfortunately, mine arrived with chunky raw onions, a few tomatoes, and not much else. The bright flavors that make avocado toast shine were missing. The sourdough bread, however, was perfectly toasted and had a great texture. Eggs Both dishes were ordered with eggs cooked over hard. Both arrived over easy. That's a simple request that should have been easy to execute. Salmon Benedict Presentation was nice, but the seasoning department apparently took the morning off. Salmon naturally has great flavor, but it still needs something. A squeeze of lemon, a touch of cracked pepper, sea salt, fresh herbs--anything. The salmon was bland, and the hash brown casserole followed the same theme. Breakfast Potatoes We ordered potatoes with grilled onions and received potatoes topped with the same chunky raw onions that appeared on the avocado toast. Not exactly what was expected. Now for the stars of the show... the drinks. The Mimosa was delicious, refreshing, and exactly what brunch should be. The Sidecar deserves special recognition. When the bartender admitted they had to Google how to make it, I became a little nervous. Turns out I had no reason to be. That Sidecar was fantastic and easily the best thing that hit our table all morning. Whoever made it absolutely knocked it out of the park. Final Verdict The Toasted Yolk has potential, but the kitchen needs to become friends with seasoning. The ingredients were there; the flavor was not. A few simple additions--lemon, pepper, salt, herbs, and attention to cooking eggs correctly--would have dramatically improved the experience. Will I return? Yes. The drinks were excellent, the atmosphere was pleasant, and there's enough on the menu to give it another chance. Next visit, I'll be ordering something different and hoping the kitchen brings a little more flavor to the table.
