Jonathan was an amazing server ! He was so attentive all the time. Always hustling and bustling

Fun spot when the goal is good drinks, good vibes, and a lively night out. Tony's has a big menu with lots of options, so there's something for everyone. It may not be the most traditional Mexican food in town, but the dishes are flavorful and consistently good. The atmosphere is what really makes the place. It's a great choice for a casual date night or going out with friends. Sitting at the bar is the move the staff is friendly, the energy is upbeat, and splitting one of their margarita towers makes the whole experience even better. Overall, a solid Jacksonville spot when you want tasty food, fun drinks, and a relaxed, social vibe. Perfect for kicking back with friends and enjoying a good margarita. read more

3.5/5. Had a girls night here the other day! The margaritas and food were both great. Two main things that took away from my experience: loud music and slow service. If you have auditory sensitivities, I would bring headphones/Loops because they play the music LOUD. Also, the service was very slow. I'm pretty sure our waiter forgot about it because it took them 30 minutes to take our food order. We saw people leaving after they got seated because no one was taking their order. Hopefully, they're able to prepare better for Friday/weekend crowds in the future. I would only come back to try their soft serve margaritas. read more

We tried this place for dinner for the first time and had a really nice experience. The service was good, and our server David was especially great. He was friendly, attentive, and made excellent recommendations throughout the meal. We started with the sampler and fresh guacamole, which was delicious. David also recommended a margarita that I really enjoyed. The restaurant itself looks beautiful inside--they've done a great job with the decor and the atmosphere is very inviting. For our main dishes, we tried the taco shots, arroz con pollo, and the chicken salad. Everything tasted good. I also ordered the Mexican corn, which was really flavorful. Next time I might order the regular corn since it's a bit easier to eat. The taco shots were very filling--you get four tacos, and I was already full after just two. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back to try more items on the menu. They have so many great options! See photos of the food below. Our bill was $250 for everything. read more

I had this restaurant on my places that I wanted to go and I happen to be in the area one day so I got there right when they were opening. I was the first person in there the young man unlock the door for me. They were very polite very nice. The service was very quick. I ordered the lunch special chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. And a side of the Mexican street corn but off of the cob. The food was good. I feel like the portion of the plate was a little small but I think that was because it was the lunch special I definitely understand that. The side corn dish was very good lots of flavor and the Big which was because it was just a normal appetizer. They started me off with some chips and salsa and then I always ask for a extra spicy sauce that most Mexican restaurants do have that they make on their own you just have to ask. That's why I have two bowls of salsa one of them with extra spicy habanero. I'm a love spicy food I did not get one of the drinks because it was 11:00 AM and I had things to do but I'm definitely going back for one of their drinks they have lots of fun drinks and cups and flavors and I was so tempted to have a few but I'm definitely going back again in the evening and indulge in some of those drinks! I definitely recommend this restaurant. I love how their seats has their name of the restaurant stitched into the seating on the booths. It was nice and quiet when I was there but that was because obviously only a few other group started coming in. But it seems like it could be a very intimate and also a place for groups because there was a big group that came in of like 16 people i'm headed all the pictures a bit drink menu so that if people want to find a place to go for some good food and fun drinks they actually have some very unique options. I'll be back soon! read more

This was my third visit to Tony's and it did not disappoint at all! We were there to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a party of 10 people. Alessio was our server and he did a wonderful job taking care of us. Food arrived in a timely manner and everyone across the table was enjoying their meals. My husband CLEANED his plate of those nachos, and I took half of mine home to finish later. I really enjoy the atmosphere here. Plenty of space for intimate dinner, a solo visit at the bar, or a large party like we had tonight. read more

I saw a bunch of posts on social media so went to check it out for myself. First, it was crazy packed so service was slow as expected but we were there 3 hours. The soft serve margaritas were ok but not much alcohol. I do see the hype with their flights, they look fun and you have to do it once but it wasn't anything I would have to go back and try again. The desserts were mostly whipped cream. The fajitas were tasty and a lot of food. Overall, a nice place to try but nothing craveable for me to want to go again and it was really loud but maybe cause it was a Saturday night but our server was really slow and couldn't answer our questions about the menu, she had to get someone to help her and would disappear for really long periods of time. read more

I went here for one thing and one thing only lol.... The soft serve margaritas! And when I say they deliver.... I mean it. I really enjoyed the flavors strawberry and pineapple. The flight was 16.99 which was deceiving because online they advertised it for 14.99 that would be my only complaint. But the drinks are flavorful, creamy and delicious. (the perfect amount of alcohol) I will definitely be back for another flight and tacos. read more

Let's first off by saying how fantastic this restaurant is!!!!! I'm not even exaggerating when i say the food is just that amazing. The selection choice you have to decide on to the wide variety of drink menu. Our service was nothing but spectacular and i couldn't have had it any other way.. the ambiance of this place is absolutely amazing. The decor on the walls to the lighting in the bathrooms. Just fabulous all together. The street corn is soo bomb, and the taco tower is soo delicious.. you won't be disappointed. read more

Ok the name is deceiving- Tony's is mexican NOT italian. At least once you step inside there's no doubt it's a mexican restaurant. The decor is intense- I love it! Lots of colors and artwork. Floors and tables appear marble, chairs are plush velvet, and ceiling hangings are blown glass. The decor, playings, and drinks are meant for social media. My coworkers and I enjoyed ourselves here one friday night. We split the marg tower - which was just an average house margarita. Next time I'll try a specialty marg. I loved the fresh guac- huge portion, and the bean and cheese eggroll app was great- never had that before. I'll visit again and try more of their menu read more

Good food! Great cocktails. They also have mashed potatoes as a side, wicked I liked.

Not gonna lie... when I saw the tacos, I immediately thought that I just wasted $17, however they were delicious. The picadillo was a little burned, but still very tasty, and the chicken was moist and also tasty. I do like refried beans, but not these so much. The rice was the same rice as everywhere else. I was told that the tostada was delicious and although it was the same chicken tinga that I had, I was told that it was a little dry. Overall the food was very good. The service was great and the style of the restaurant was bright. It's well lit and the mural was beautiful. I'm knocking a star off due to price, which I feel was excessive. read more

This place blew us away. I would rate it 6 stars if I could. You walk in this place and the vibes are instantly through the roof. The music is bumping! They did have a wait but we always sit at the bar. María was the best and ONLY bartender working very hard. They have a HUGE drink and food menu. Some things they have on the menu I have never seen or heard of before. We ordered a drink and then gave our food order. Before we even had our first drink gone our food order was out. We were absolutely shocked. All the food we ordered tasted out of this world for quick Mexican food. We had to stay for a few more drinks afterwards because this place was so good. Highly recommend to anyone wanting good mexican food with an even better atmosphere and service. Sit at the bar, María is great! read more

We wanted to informally celebrating Cinco de Mayo on the weekend and decided to take the drive across town to Tony's Cantina as we felt this was one of the best Mexican restaurants in Jacksonville from previous experience. Parking was easy in the plaza parking lot. We were properly seated and received attention. The menu was quite extensive with many options that I have not seen at other comparable establishments . We ordered the pork, Al Pastor, which was displayed for table sharing . I decided to be a little adventurous and order a combination of an enchilada as well as a chicken stuffed poblano pepper. They have extensive drink menu, but we went with a nonalcoholic piña colada, and some sweet tea which was served in large cups. I was very pleased with the bill that came up under $60 for three people. The restaurant was decorated with a typical Mexican theming with Mexican music in the background. It's definitely worth a visit. read more

We were promptly greeted and seated by our fabulous server Monica who also immediately brought out warm chips and salsa. The interior is fun, vibrant and always clean & well kept. For lunch today we tried something different and without discussing what we'd order, it was almost the same. I had the Pollo Con Crema with rice and guacamole salad. My dining partner had Enchiladas Con Crema with beans and mashed potatoes. Both the grilled and shredded chicken were deliciously moist and flavorful. The sides were perfect. The desserts are not to be overlooked and I had to get the ultimate chocolate cake to go. This is one of the few restaurants in the area that offers a lunch menu on weekends as well as a wonderful brunch selection. The feel is more upscale than other Mexican restaurants in the area, but prices are very reasonable. read more

Really great spot. We went there to celebrate birthdays with a family dinner for 12! The first thing you notice is the decor, it's bright, festive and clean! Really remarkably clean! They have these cute chairs set up for photo opportunities and the whole place is just darling, including the bathrooms! The menu is packed, like most Mexican restaurants, but Tony's has some really standouts like the ceviche flight, the esquite, and the celebration churros! They also make birthdays really special, it feels like a production. You hear the music first and then the team comes over to sing! It's a lot of fun and seems to be something the whole restaurant gets into! Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I dined with my brother and family. I chose the Pollo Ranchero largely due to my desire for bacon. However, the dish arrived with an excessive amount of oil on the plate, necessitating the use of multiple napkins to absorb the oil out. Also, the bacon was not cooked to my liking as it was undercooked and contained uncooked fat. Would have been nice if they were crispy. I had specifically chosen this dish for the bacon, expecting a crispy texture. This experience was disappointing and I regret not selecting one of the sampler options. Our second visit was much better. We decided to try the Sampler Tijuana, and while my wife and I can usually eat a lot, we couldn't quite finish it! The espresso beverage was smooth and enjoyable, and the service was excellent--definitely a big improvement from our first visit. read more

Tony's Cantina Mexican Grill - Birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

First impression when entering 5 Service: 3 Our waiter was making us feel "rushed" with having to place our order and they weren't busy so that wasn't a problem. When we asked give us a minute to order he'll come back, ready to order? Then when we were placing order, rather than to let us finish, he'll say that's it? That's it? It was three of us so we couldn't even complete an order without him saying that. Then when we needed refills we had to try and grab him when we could , rip someone else had to help us. Overall: Food was okay. Steak & shrimp queso: Runny, cheese is not thick so don't look to dip chips in. It's more to put over rice. Alcoholic Drink was great! read more

What a nice looking restaurant with comfy chairs! We decided to try this place on a Tuesday where they had a special for 3 tacos (ground beef or shredded chicken) for $6.99. What a great price! This place has an extensive menu that even offers a couple of pasta entrees and a seafood boil along with other Mexican dishes. They also serve brunch. The menu has pictures which is appreciated. Although some of the entrees we ordered could use a little more seasoning (the beef & chicken) the presentation was incredible. The flights of margaritas and samplers that other customers ordered made our heads turn. Our waitress was friendly but the service was a little slow. We will visit again to give them another try. read more

We took friends there last night , after having an amazing experience the week before.. Let me tell you this trip was a nightmare , the young guy that served us acted like he was on something the whole time, couldn't remember 90% of our order , kept coming back asking us to point at the menu, then our friends orders were completely wrong , they were so upset, cause the kid acted like it was no big deal and you could hardly understand what he was even saying most the time. I'm surprised that a restaurant of this caliber was out of certain liquors , he completely forgot my bar drink , then told me they were out of the liquors needed for my drink, then brought my food and the wife had to remind him " where's my husbands drink ??" He looked clueless... then 10 min later after eating 1/2 my food , here comes my drink‍... no water glasses were ever offered or brought , my steak burrito the meat was so hard to chew , my wife's nachos were cold and not crispy at all, we tried to explain to the guy some these things , but got frustrated and gave up , now on to our guest ... one ordered fajitas , he got brought a quesadilla‍, The other ordered a burrito and got brought two what it looked like was quesadillas also, they were so frustrated, and disappointed , they had seen our efforts to rectify our own mixups by the waiter and just decided to eat it , but I'm severely disappointed, made me and my wife look like fools , we had bragged to all our friends the amazing dinner we had prior ... presentation of the plates were sloppy and not pretty like the last meal also ... not sure what's going on , but our friends will never be back , and I'm not sure if we should waste our money either... so so surprised and disappointed read more

I usually love Tony's. We go there often and everyone we introduce to it has great things to say. However, it feels like they've been falling apart recently. The wait for a table of 3 people was over 20 minutes at 3PM (and several open tables) last time we at there with two large parties who came in after us giving up and leaving before being sat. The food was outstanding though, so we decided to try take out this week. We called 20 minutes ahead and still waited almost 30 minutes once we arrived for two meals. We had each ordered Hawaiian quesadillas (the same thing I order every time we go) with rice and beans. My husband was excited to try his meal because he hears me rave about the quesadilla every time. I took one bite and gave up. All the ingredients (chicken, peppers, onions and pineapple) were beyond charred. Everything inside was black snd tasted just as burned. Even worse, the QUESADILLA had NO cheese (the best part). I've never been so disappointed in a meal. What is happening at Tony's?! read more

The ambiance I will say is OUTSTANDING love the decor and how colorful and culturally attributing it is!!! Our service was ok - small hiccup because she forgot what I said I didn't want but handled it ok. Her facial gesture was displeased at first but came around and smiled. The food was just average. The burrito was not too bad but had hoped the chicken would have more traditional flavors rather than the bland flavor it was. The cheese quesadilla was very skimpy with the cheese I must say but the salsa was the true highlight. Overall it was ok. If u r looking for great ambiance this the place but if you want the food to match maybe not so. read more

Well this place started out with promise! We decided to go there because of a review we saw on tic tock, and boy were we disappointed!!!! The decor was cute ABs I loved the vibe! However the customer service and cleanliness left something to be desired! They sat us at a table with food (lettuce) still stuck to a wet table. Grease stained seats! So I had to ask for the table to be wiped off. When the server brought over our salsa her thumb was in it. She didn't bring us a be one. Then e kept feeling stiff under our feet and we looked under the table and there was tons ( no exaggeration) a food underneath our feet literal chicken tenders rice you name it it was under the table. So I asked if we could be moved to a new table and she went to the manager to see if we could be moved. He told us no, so she said she could sweep up the food. Which she did but she did didn't get all the fruit up so at this point, I was just so disgusted that along with the rest of our party we just decided to leave. This is the first and last time I will ever go to this place and we were so excited to eat there because of the TikTok we had seen. But I would never go back to this place again. The customer service is terrible and the health department needs to come in there and check this place out! I gave this place a 0/10 read more

I made a reservation by phone a week in advance for a party of 10. When we arrived, the hostess seemed confused and didn't acknowledge the reservation. Without saying a word to us, staff pushed two tables together and placed menus down. A few minutes later we were simply told we could sit--still with no explanation or communication. It then took nearly 45 minutes just to receive drinks, and overall the service was extremely poor. On top of that, my mother had an accident in the restaurant. The manager initially refused to complete an accident report, and it took almost three hours of back-and-forth before anything was documented or signed. Although management eventually admitted the situation was handled poorly and offered to comp our meals, we declined and paid. The service, communication, and management were unacceptable from start to finish. I would never return. read more

The inside is beautiful! I love all of the decorations! The Margarita flight were some of the best margaritas I've had! I don't typically like Margaritas because they're so sweet/tart. These were perfect! Just the right amount of sweet and I could still taste the tequila. The bartenders were great! Friendly and the right amount of attention. The chipotle shrimp were delicious. And that corn! Amazing! The chicken chipotle enchiladas were ok. The chipotle sauce was sweet with no heat. I would've liked more spice. read more
