    The food is good enough that we went back. However, the tipping screen here is clearly designed to pressure customers. The highest option (30%) is placed first, followed by 25% and 20%, which uses psychology to nudge people into tipping more than they normally would. That's not transparent or fair and it feels manipulative. Tipping should reflect service, not be driven by a UI designed to maximize payouts. This setup is unacceptable and leaves a bad impression.

    Service was quick! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It wasn't very busy and the TVs were great for watching the sports games on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The margaritas are always strong... you don't need more than 2! We shared fajitas for two and there was more than enough food. Great neighborhood Tex Mex!

    Consistently Wonderful! I go back to Tony's Mexican Restaurant on LN610 every time--and I love it every single time. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and comforting, and the service makes you feel right at home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's one of those rare places where you know exactly what to expect: a great meal, a warm atmosphere, and an experience that keeps you coming back again and again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tony's has become one of my true go-to spots, and I can honestly say it never disappoints. Highly recommended!

    Lunch special, delicious cheese enchilada, taco, guacamole & queso shell

    I'm so glad I went yesterday. It's been a long minute. Sooooo good! The salsa is warm and delicious. I couldn't stop eating it. I ordered the first thing off the lunch menu. I didn't get the name. It came with a crispy taco, puff with queso, cheese enchilada & guacamole. I was a little sad that it didn't come with rice & beans, it was good the way it was & it left me room for dessert. Everything was delicious and fresh. The guacamole was creamy and delicious too. I opted for the tres leches after asking the attentive server and it was good, not the best in my opinion but not the worst. Staff was very attentive. The only thing was the music seemed to be really loud. Or maybe I'm just getting old. Lol Will definitely be back.

    A roach across the bar

    This was my favorite restaurant for twenty years, and one way for me not to come back ever is roaches! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was at the bar, took some friends for the first time they witnessed the roaches moving across the top at bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I told the bartender and he was like okay. The manager comes to say I'm sorry, she wanted to offer me a free dessert. Why would I eat anything from here, we had two margaritas: she didn't even give us a discount. I can handle anything but roaches.

    Skinny Margaritas

    Visited this place during my lunch break with some coworkers. The hostesses were super friendly from the moment we walked in greeting us with a warm welcome. They walked us to our table where immediately a server came over and got our drink order. We ordered skinny margaritas to start off. My margarita was perfect but my coworker said hers was too strong. The waiter noticed her reaction and offered to fix the problem for her. Super nice! They bring complementary chips and salsa but we also ordered queso. I was surprised at how good it was! Super flavorful and came with a side of pickled jalapenos. So good! For my entre I ordered the pechuga poblana stuffed with shrimp. This is a huge dish! This shrimp stuffed chicken breast comes smothered in the most delicious and creamy poblano sauce. It also cames with white rice, homemade tortillas, and some of the best black beans ever. The black beans were the highlight of the entire meal for me. This Mexican spot really nailed the beans!!! I have a small appetite so I ended up taking half of my plate to go. It tasted just as good for lunch the next day. My coworkers also really enjoyed the food here and we have decided to add this to our frequent lunch spots. 10/10 service and food quality so you really cannot ask for more!

    Flautas De Birria

    Does Tony's serve breakfast and if so, on which days?

    So do they have breakfast every day? Menu not on their website for breakfast.

    Had lunch here today, and noticed a difference in menu, price, taste of food. I have been a long time patron, and liked the change but was just wondering if they were under new management?

    New management and ownership. Food and - thank goodness, the margaritas - seem as good as ever to me. But now open on Sunday!

    Do they allow dogs on the patio?

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert.

We will most definitely return.

The bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños were overly greasy and had 0 heat. My birria nachos were decent but still lacked in flavor category. The only thing that saved them from a 1 star was the fun atmosphere. Do better and learn from your mistakes.
