Tony's Tacos is a landmark taco destination on Morones Prieto Blvd in between Garza Sada and Revolución in Monterrey. It is tuck away behind a 7 Eleven store and gas station, but unmistakable for their Coca Cola paraphernalia and memorabilia. It's almost like walking into a Coca Cola museum, with some Mexican pop culture decor (think Cantinflas and El Chavo del Ocho). But the star of the show is the food!
I've had many barbacoa tacos, but the one I had here (I was brought by local friends) was among the best I've eaten. I also had the chile relleno (cheese filled jalapeño) taco which was also delicious.
The restaurant is truly a sight worth seeing, with Coca Cola trinkets and paraphernalia filling the walls, shelves, and counters. The back patio is nice with a shaded dining area as well.
It's one of those places easy to miss because it is located behind a 7 Eleven store and gas station. There is a Tony's Tacos food truck outside and a dine-in restaurant inside. So, you can quickly order something to go, or stay a while and be amazed at the decorations fillingnevery nook and cranny.
While the decorations are extravagant, the food is exceptional. We stopped here to fill with gasoline and food before driving to the border. No question about it, it is a worthwhile stop for amazing food at excellent prices, as well as a trip down a Coca Cola memory lane.
I will definitely return when I have the chance. read more
