    Live music - I didn't get his name but he was great & said he's there most Fridays and Saturdays.

    Food was FANTASTIC. We also lucked out with some live music! Cool little spot. We got: Brisket quesadilla, chicken taco, carna asada taco And Brisket taco, chicken taco, and the vegetarian taco (can't remember the name) They were all soooo yummy, hand made & fried corn tortillas. 10/10 highly recommend!

    Brisket tacos, rice, pinto beans and green chili!

    Me and my hubby are doing a weekend in T or C and on the way back to T or C from Bosque Del Apache we wanted lunch and a stop at Elephant Butte. Reviews led us to Casa Taco! Yum!! We had the Casa Taco lager brewed by a local brewery, very nice. Then I had 3 brisket tacos with rice and pinto beans and a side of green chili. All so so yummy. My hubby had 3 tacos, a brisket, tilapia and a shrimp. All so very good. We will come back on our way back home to Albuquerque and any time we are in the area! Super nice guy at the register too. Come by here. This place is packed.

    I've been here off and on over the years and it's ok. I think the prices are just a bit expensive for me and this is my opinion. The tacos are large and a little greasy but I like them like that. The chips are fresh and delicious. I had beef enchiladas and to my surprise they came rolled, full of beef and cheese. The chile cheese fries were shoestring fries which is fine. The beans were good but I didn't like the rice. Free refill fountain drinks is a good deal. Service was good and friendly. The tables were sticky but there was only one waitress and it was busy so she was doing all she could. Overall ok.

    Dips trio!

    If you're looking for outdoor seating because you're traveling with a dog, don't stop here. I have…read morenever heard so many bizarre reasons as to why a dog cannot even be on the premises; first one was because of a "code," second one was because there is a bad dog next door that might hurt or kill my dog and the third one was their liability insurance. Not sure if I believed any of those reasons but I ordered food to go because of the Yelp. After looking into the New Mexico restaurant liability insurance explanation, I now know that this place just flat out doesn't like dogs anywhere. I feel like "dog friendly" should be another option on Yelp since so many people now travel with their pets. I should have left because it was very hot and windy and the owners were extremely rude but, against my husbands wishes, I ordered to go based on the food reviews and also based on nostalgia (because the location was the exact location for great Mexican food in the 1980's. Now to the food: I ordered the large combo. It was good but not the best New Mexico Mexican food. The cheese enchiladas were okay. The taco was not crispy, probably because it was squeezed into a styrofoam container, and was made with hamburger meat. I was hoping for shredded beef. Oh well. The chile relleno was good, not the best. Overall, the food was good but I've had better. The green chile sauce was better than good. I honestly think that if we had been allowed to dine outdoors on the premises, the food would have been served on a bigger plate and I would have been able to distinguish what I was eating better. Would I eat here again...that's a big fat nope. Nor would they want me to, probably. The owner(s) were rude. The food was mediocre at best. I loved raising my girls and living in T or C back in the 80's, but I will never stop there again to eat because the people at Tony's.

Last summer under the new management I also had the Ahi Tuna (yes, in the desert) and it was fabulous. Salads I've had were wonderful and today I had a quick bowl of chili. The chili was a good temperature. Not too hot, it wasn't nuked. The seasoning is great and thick, the way chili should be. I've spent time on the deck, in the dining room and in the tap room. The service has been excellent. The staff is pleasant, attentive and know the menu as well as their jobs. The decor is continuing to be updated and there are new tables, new paint and new decor. I really hope the word get out about this great dining, snacking, golfing experience. I'll follow up again this coming summer. I can't wait to see you again.

The salsa wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing. We ended up getting the Grilled Chicken Quesadillas appetizer and a Sopaipilla. The quesadillas came with way more food than we expected and they were cooked nicely, but a bit bland. The lettuce was also very wilted and old. The sopaipilla was huge! We were surprised it wasn't crispier, but it was still super tasty! I would definitely get that again. Besides the sopaipilla, it seems like a pretty average food place. I would come again, but it's not a must for me.
