    Quesadilla Taco

    Far exceeded my expectations! I've driven by Tony's Tacos dozens of times when visiting Normal but tonight was my first time trying it. I had a "quesadilla taco" (a corn shell with ground beef, chihuahua cheese, and sour cream) and a "Mexican-style" tostado (steak grilled with tomatoes and jalapeños), beans & rice, and chips & salsa. I also sampled several of the homemade salsas from their salsa bar. Everything deserves five stars (for perfect seasoning and great quality ingredients) but my favorite was the tostado. The menu at Tony's is pretty extensive so I look forward to going back soon to try other items like burritos and tamales. The price was pretty good too- especially since I have plenty of chips and salsa left over for another meal.

    Where u order
    Maria T.

    First time here. One side of the restaurant is located within a gas station... So not the best curb appeal. The inside was spacious. Approximately 10 four top tables. 4 two top tables. 4 booths. You order and pay at a counter. They will give you a number and bring your food out to you. We ordered streak, fish and birria tacos. We also ordered a burrito and horchata. All the food was delicious. The tacos consisted of 2 layered corn tortillas, the protein of choice, onions and cilantro. There is salsa and other condiments available in a side bar. This was a plus. Room for improvement: 1. The horchata was grainy. Needs to be blended more? 2. Need to sell bottled water or have a filtered water dispenser accessible to patrons.

    Birria Tacos

    My mom and I came here after my daughter had a performance at the stadium across the street. The food here is excellent! We had the chips and guacamole and the Birria Tacos. This was my first time having birria tacos and they were so flavorful. They were stuffed with meat and came with the pan juices to dip the tacos in. I also have to give the staff some props. The restaurant was packed with parents and they did not skip a beat. We didn't have to wait long at all for our food. Give them a try!

    Steak taco

    It is a busy place during lunch time. This gem offers authentic Mexican food. Price is reasonable. You can order and find a table to sit down and eat. This is my first time eating there. Recommended! Will go

    Whether a snack or a meal, Tony's is quick, inexpensive, fresh, and tasty. This is more a fast casual than fast food place. Everything tastes like it was cooked when you ordered it. Enjoyed the steak and grilled chicken tacos today with chips and a Mexican Coke. Appreciated the eye contact and sincere "Thanks for coming in today" while waiting the credit card to process.

I also ended up ordering the churros for dessert and they were kind enough to give it to me complimentary. I tell you, excellent service brings people back faster than anything else. I'm ok that i didn't love what i ordered. I will try something else next time. The chips and salsa were also tasty- salsa is not spicy but they do have several spicy options on the tables so you can mix your own heat level as desired. I also got a raspberry lime margarita on the rocks and it was great! Solid flavor combo. Can't really go wrong with margs ever. I will tell everyone always to come here when in Bloomington!!

I love that tacos are so de-rigure that they forgot to even add them to the menus (that's been fixed)! Their Pastor is fantastic, the service friendly (they even limp along and tolerate my bad Spanish), and the salsas are bright and flavourful! They have an extensive "pesces" menu (perhaps aimed at ovservant Friday and Lenten Catholics) of seafood offerings--I cannot speak to them further, as I was raised beside the Pacific Ocean and do not eat seafood 2000 miles away from the sea. The ambience is typical of a taco-joint: formica tables and sliding chairs; nothing fancy, but not a place you'd loathe eating. They do a swift business at primary meal times; but I have never had to wait for a table or had food to take too long to arrive. Carry-out is similarly swift whether you order ahead (online pr by phone) or pop in for takeaway. They accept card payments; including tap. There is an offering of beers and traditional "aquas Frescas," like horchata and jamaica, as well as some Jaritos sodas and Coke products. Very handy spot worth a couple visits a month for sure.

    Look, I've been patronizing Mexican joints in Bloomington-Normal since antes de que fuera cool, and…read moreI need to talk about what's happening at Herradura. THE GOOD: The service here operates at quantum speeds. I'm talking food-to-table in approximately 5 minutes. Did they have a DeLorean in the kitchen? Did they start cooking when I pulled into the parking lot? I don't know, but physics was definitely involved. The presentation looked solid--everything arrived hot and reasonably photogenic. THE "WAIT, WHAT?": Friends, we need to discuss the Great Portion Shrinkage of 2026. Herradura has apparently discovered the restaurant industry's worst-kept secret: instead of raising prices a reasonable amount, just slash 10% off the menu and reduce portions by 35%. It's like getting a "discount" on a car, but they removed the back seats and the radio. The chimichangas arrived looking like they'd been on a strict juice cleanse--smaller than expected and committing the cardinal sin of sogginess. These weren't the crispy flavor bombs I remember. They were more like... flavor water balloons? Still edible, but not exactly chimichanga hall-of-fame material. THE CHEESE TAX: Here's where things got personal. I've been a loyal "little extra cheese on the rice" guy for years. Today? Nearly FIVE DOLLARS for what amounts to 4 tablespoons of queso. That's approximately $127 per pound if my mental math is correct (it's not, but you get the point). I've seen cheaper cheese at artisanal farmer's markets run by bearded hipsters in suspenders. The beef tacos were... fine. That's the review. Fine. They existed. They were tacos. Moving on. THE VERDICT: On the Bloomington-Normal Nickel-and-Dime Scale™, Herradura ranks on the lower end, which is actually saying something in this town where inflation is hitting Mexican restaurants like they personally offended the economy. Will I be back? Yes. Will it be soon? No. Next time I'm trying the cheesesteak because apparently I'm a glutton for punishment and also curious if it comes in "fun size" now too. Pro tip: Bring your own cheese. Save $5. Live your best life. Also i turned macro mode on for my camera. Objects look bigger than they appear in person. Atmosphere: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 | Food Quality: 3/5 | Value: 2/5 | Portion Size: 1.5/5

It feels more like a place people come to get drinks than to come to get food though. For sure the drinks are pretty good. The food includes the basics like burritos and tacos slopped with cheese and sauce. A popular place to go for ISU students with it being so close to campus. It won't be a long way to stumble back to dorms or apartments for them. This place may not be as good when sober, so take a lesson and have some tequila and whatever. Best thing is the prices aren't that bad. It's about $7 for a tequila sunrise. Have a few and spew. It's about $12 for the Vegetarian Combos, of which there's a few of these. Among these is the one with two bean burritos. These come with burrito sauce and cheese sauce. I got it a little healthier without the cheese sauce and it was still a sloppy mess. That just makes it more fun though. For sure it's not authentic but that's not the appeal. It's a place to have a fun time with good drinks and okay food. They have a pretty good amount of food options for vegetarians.
