What happened????? – We have been going to Tony's for several years but never again. The quality of the food has gotten so bad it is not edible. The margaritas have never been up to par, we quit ordering them a long time ago. Service is horrible. On our last visit, I had to get up and find a waiter, who was then rude, waited a long time for the food and it arrived all at the same time - queso, tacos and enchilladas - and was cold - and had to get up and find my waiter for the check. To top it all off , the owner was wonderin... read more

long time customer – we have been going to Tonys for years. It has declined over the last 1-2 years. The food ok and the service can be real bad at times. They still have, I feel, the best green sauce on the planet. I sure hope they clean up their act or I may not go there anymore.

bad food, excellent margaritas – food is bad, margaritas are the best thing they serve there. I went there for months and spend like 60 dollars on margaritas and food i didn't really eat, I was there mainly for the margaritas, I heard people making gay jokes and i didn't like that, i told my friends not to go either, on fridays gay people made good money for the owner, until the owner apoligizes to gay people we wont go there not even for the excellent margaritas. the place is begining to have that poor getto clientele.

REALLY??? – I live not too far from here, and I eat out A LOT. I do LOVE mexican food, and so I thought I'd try this place. It's always packed and I read great reviews about the place. However, after dining there, I absolutely dont understand the hype about this place. The queso was about as plain as anything else I've tried. The salsa was simple, nothing spectacular. I just do not get it?? The food was way average! I would almost rather eat at Casa Ole..NOT KIDDING! The maragaritas weren't bad. oh well....

Blindingly average, but you sure wouldn't know it by the crammed parking lot.... – I'm a transplant to Houston, and was intrigued by this place, after driving by and reading the enthusiastic reviews posted about it here. I love good Mexican, and I know my stuff. SHOCKED at how enamored people are with it. Big deal, guys. Service was OK, food was OK, didn't have drinks (I know, I know), but definitely not a 5 star rating. From my recollection, to the other reviewer comments, it's not "oilcloth" it's called plastic, and no hom... read more

We have been going to Tony's for over 12 years and think it is great! – We have enjoyed Tony's for many years, sometimes dining there twice a week. They have very good food for a moderately priced family mexican restaurant. My husband thinks the cheese enchiladas are the best in town. Beware---the margaritas are very strong! Friday nights used to be a party scene but it has cleaned up a lot in the last year much to our delight. We have several favorite waiters that we always request and they take extrememly good care of us b... read more

Be wary of any business that uses the labels family and american – Always went there with a large group of friends spent LOTS o money with this group. Always a party atmosphere, drinks are served promptly and quickly. Chips and salsa are awesome. However their entrees leave much to be desired. I ordered fajitas that were not - it was stewed beef sauteed with onions. Definitely have had better. I was expecting slices of marinated steak. The fish tacos while good but they were quite stingy with the portions. Ordered the pork c... read more

Sub-par – I recently moved to this part of town and was excited about having a good mexican food restaurant close. I was excited to go to Tony's because several people had recommended it, but I was really disappointed. The food was just...sub-par. We went on a friday night and the wait was thirty minutes and the bar was packed. The atmosphere was definitely lively, but you couldn't really move. I would be ok with that if the food was good. But that was not the case. I'm not even sure I want to give this place a second chance... read more

One visit was enough! – Last night was my first time at Tony's and will be my last. The margaritas were small and awful, the food was good but not good enough to come back for. I did not like how i was cramed around 5 other tables in the middle of the floor with very loud obnoxious people around me bursting out laughing right in my ear. i think my ear is still ringing. My boyfriend got the wrong order but the waiter was kind about it. Overall not a place me or my friends would come back to.
