Well Tony's Taco's is expanding operations. I usually stop at there location at the Standish exit off 75. Unfortunately they are closed on Mondays and that made me sad. I thought I had stewed up my going north Tony's taco stop. Yelp to the rescue! The Yelp app pointed out they had a Tawas location. I got the Macho Taco with beans and rice. WOW! Delicious and filling. Tony always makes the ingredients at his establishments fresh every day. He a nice man and very kind as well. This Tawas location has a classy log built design that sits in the Tawas park and just off the Tawas Pier. Everyone is welcome and you'll love the food and take out experience. read more

So let's manage expectations, it's a taco stand on the beach. Perfect for a quick bite while enjoying the day. Plastic cutlery, paper bowls, and low grade paper napkins, got it? Ok. So the food is solid, and I would recommend the elote above anything else there. However, the prices really aren't a single "$" any more. Over $6 for an ear of corn is silly, so I didn't get it this time. And having to stand around for no less than 20 minutes waiting for your tacos is just frustrating. So yes, it's good, but bring patience, because you will be waiting!! read more

Perhaps some of the worst "Mexican" food I've ever had. The salsa was basically ketchup, the corn tortillas were served cold, no self respecting street taco has lettuce on it and the barbacoa was unseasoned beef roast. The gulls didn't even want it. I had so many people suggesting I go here and I have no idea why. Ugh. Just awful. Avoid at all costs. My kids school serves better tacos! Heck, Taco Bell would be better because at least that has flavor! read more

Awesome little shop on the beach. Outdoor seating on the beach. Been a staple for years. read more

very disappointed!! tony is working alone and its complete chaos!! beware or youll be their for the afternoon waiting and getting skipped over in place for your order. read more

Favorite Tawas spot! Barbacoa is crunchy and flavorful. Elotes are on point. Always friendly, even on busy holidays.

Great to see a restaurant like this on the beach. We're from downstate and we enjoyed the outdoor seating, view and the nice folks working here. Barbacoa was tender and not salty (the salsas are delicious if you want to flavor it up). Tamale had a good flavor too. Would definitely recommend for a good stop with young kiddos. Public restrooms nearby too read more

Tostadas are out of this world! Highly recommend! Prices are good food is authentic! They are on top Of social distancing too! read more

We were riding the bike trail and happened to find this little place. Right on the water and near a pavilion. It's quaint and the food is good! We had the pulled pork taco, a beef taco, and the sweet corn with cheese. Everything was delicious. Customer service is top notch! read more

Delicious taco stand on the beach! Everything is fresh and delicious. The salsa and guacamole is some of the best I've ever had.

We make the 2 1/2 hour trip twice every summer at least. It's a little chaotic at times but honestly I think it's just part of this place's charm. The food is amazing! There's a reason we make the drive, and we literally make the drive just for this place. It's got a great setting so you can enjoy a beach day and walk up to the taco stand for dinner. I can't begin to describe how good the food is, we always get meat to take home. read more

So many Amazing flavors! The ingredients were all fresh! We have a cottage in Greenbush and will drive down special just to enjoy Tony's! Best part of today's visit was meeting the man himself....TONY! Very friendly and accommodating! read more

Vegan Tacos!!!! 3 street style, fresh, perfect vegan tacos. The beans, the salsa, the rice.... These tacos were better than any they had in Mexican Town in the D. The mayflies are bad, but you can sit in the open air and it's better. The hot salsa is fresh and awesome. You must try this adorable stand! read more

Great authentic Mexican food! They have the best Guacamole around! Stop in and see for yourself! read more

Well deserved high rating. I try to includes this place in every trip. The corn cob - The tacos - The tamales - The location. read more

Very very good! Workers are nice too! Location on beautiful Tawas Bay can't be beat!

Great food and authentic. Takes a super long time to get it. It's confusing because the meat is pre cooked read more

Tonys Tacos - a corn on the cob and a taco - Mexican Near Me - Tawas City, Michigan

Amazing food! Servers there were very nice and practically no wait time. Quesadillas are a must-try.

The place was better in standish. A taco, nacho and side of guacamole was $15. Chips directly out of the Sams Club bag - not even toasty warm. The nacho was (as someone mentioned) stadium style with a glop of liquid "cheese". Yuck. Taco was tasty. Guac lacked flavor. The process made me super thirsty but pops were $2.25. read more

What a treat! Best tacos hands down! Loved the Street Tacos with carne asada. Amazing Elote and guac. What more could you want? How about eating them beach side!! Loved the food and location. read more

The tacos were great some of the best I've ever had. If I could change one thing it would be they need to put them in something other than styrofoam plating as they get very soggy. The Mexican street corn was off the charts and I would recommend anybody try that. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was their rice. It lacked flavor and it was a bit under cooked. They are kind of expensive but the tacos are worth it and so is the corn. read more

Tonys Tacos - Great tacos! A beachside treat! - Mexican Near Me - Tawas City, Michigan

If I could give 6 stars, I would. Do yourself a favor and get the corn! You shouldn't go through life without having tasted that. The salsa is light and fresh and the tacos are yummy. Can't beat some good eats along the beach read more

It's the best Mexican restaurant I've had in the entire state of Michigan. I would say it's the best restaurant within 100 miles. I strongly recommend Tonys Tacos to anyone in town. read more

My family and I concur with the reviewer who said it was eh. That about sums it up, the 4/5 star ratings are very generous or perhaps their experience with Mexican food is limited. The flavors of the meats were all rather bland. We had chicken, pork and chorizo on the street tacos, chicken on a quesadilla. All the tacos came out cold. We opted to get the corn, again not sure what other people's experiences are but that was not right and it was also cold. Salsa was bland, no spice or heat even on the "hot" one. The chorizo in our tacos also had no spice. We tried the beans and rice. Tasted like a can of refried beans and the rice had minimal flavor. The prices are higher than what is listed online, I do understand the need to raise prices, the new prices were listed at the stand though not very clear. $50 for the amount of food and the quality/flavor was high. I do not think we will be going back. read more

great food and plenty of it. some would say its pricey. But its worth it. lots of love in that food. read more

Great Food! The menu is pretty extensive for such a small place giving you plenty of options for authentic Mexican. Prices are more than fair with generous portions. The best part is the outdoor seating on the beach with it's amazing view of Tawas Bay. Cannot recommend it enough! read more

Drove by and stopped on a whim. Ordered some street tacos. It was very tasty and very reasonably priced. I could have ordered another three tacos. My wife ordered a Macho Taco which was also very good and they had a good assortment of Jarittos. We will be camping in Tawas this summer and look forward to trying more of the items on their menu. read more

The best taco salad that I've had in a long time! The meat was not greasy, chips actually tasted like real corn and the tomatoes were fresh. Because of my food allergies I always order taco salads without cheese so I notice the flavors of everything else all the more. The guacamole was excellent with nice chunks of avocados and cilantro just big enough to enjoy yet small enough to look pretty. The service was friendly and the view of Tawas Bay from the outdoor picnic tables can't be beat! read more

Ordered 3 Asada street tacos and waited over 45 minutes for them. Everytime i asked when they would be done, I was told any minute. Not sure why it takes so long to make them. As far as the tacos, they were mediocre at best. Unfortunately, was not worth the wait. read more

"Eh" is all I really felt about this place. I'm surprised it's rated so well. Maybe we went on an off day, but we had four people and everyone was a little disappointed. The elote was very good but really that's it. The tostada was more iceberg than anything. The cheese in our quesadilla wasn't even melted. Macho taco was pretty lackluster. Everything was served lukewarm. Someone working there was wearing his gloves to do just about everything, leaving the building, touching door knobs, money, etc and then back to the food. The location is great and the outdoor seating is nice when you come off the beach covered in sand and you aren't really looking to go in anywhere and sit down. read more

Good food. Terrible service 50 minutes for our food.. The workers acted like the didn't care, no since of urgency to get customers orders out read more

Tony's is basically a taco stand in a park by the water. I was very pleasantly surprised that they serve authentic Mexican food. I wasn't expecting that in this area. I stopped in with friends for a snack, and then just pretty much ended up having dinner. I had a spicy shredded pork taco (in 12" tortilla), corn on the cob, and a Jarrito's lime soda. The taco hit the spot. It was made with fresh ingredients (including awesome hot pico de gallo) and had excellent flavor. The corn on the cob was coated in Mexican spices (chili powder, cayenne?) and cheese (I believe it was queso fresco). You must try the corn! My friends also enjoyed their food. The gordita looked very tasty, as did the shrimp ceviche. I'll be sure to stop at Tony's the next time I'm passing through. read more

Really good Mexican street food. Located at the stand in front of the earthen pier. This was a great stop as we rode bikes from Tawas Point out through town. Chorizo tacos were dynamite. Corn on the cob was really good but we had to wipe off a little of the mayo and spice. The kids nachos were just stadium style chips with cheese goop. Overall good food served fairly quickly. Sit in the pavilion next to the stand. read more

Super Beach joint with authentic Mexican food. Street corn,tamales, tacos. Had chicken tacos and guacamole. Both fabulous. Very friendly staff. Beautiful scenery of lake Huron. A great place for good food. read more

This place is in a little, unassuming beach-side shack. We drove by it one day and decided to stop in the next afternoon to try it out. I will now be a regular there. Both times I've been there I ordered the three tacos de maiz (barbacoa) and it was delicious!! They were fresh and as authentic as it gets in Michigan. My friend ordered taquitos (I think?) and another the quesadilla and both said that their meal was really good! The next time I went I ordered a corn on the cob to go with my tacos. Oh my goodness! I never knew corn could be so tasty. This will be a regular addition to my diet. The only downside is that I'm not quite sure of their hours, or if they even have regular hours. I think it is open if the weather is nice and the foot traffic in that area is good? I went down yesterday and they were closed :( BUT - went back today and loved every bite! read more
