Tony's = Best lunch in town  5 Star Rating - World class

Tony's has great food for a great price.
The lines are long at lunch, but worth the wait!
I highly reccommend Tony's to take you clients, bosses
or support staff. Of course, take the family.

No so good!  2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I was told by a few of my co-worker that this place is great. I have to admit the food was really good, however the service was horrible. I had a big party that consist of 14 people and service was not good. They got our order wrong. Then when it came to closing out the checks. They double charged several of us. It just was not a pleasant experience. I would not go back.

long time customer 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

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 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

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.

Pros: goo margaritas
Cons: nasty food, not a gay friendly retaurant

REALLY??? 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

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....

Pros: Its popular...for some reason
Cons: AVERAGE food

Blindingly average, but you sure wouldn't know it by the crammed parking lot.... 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

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 homemade tortillas = no good rating from this dude. Wake up people.

We have been going to Tony's for over 12 years and think it is great! 5 Star Rating - World class

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 by providing excellent service. The restaurant is always packed so they must be doing something right!!!

Pros: Quality Service, Friendly Staff
Cons: Wait time at peak hours
