    Panchos Bistec

    Always go to Pancho's when we're in Nuevo Progreso. Great food, drinks and entertainment.

    Enchiladas

    Food was great! Ambiance was great! Server was a little inattentive, not busy just chatting with friends and watching the music, but the food made up for it!

    Mmmmm the best Mexican food I have had in a while!!! I'm from the valley but since COVID and the danger zones I hadn't been back in a while. Coming here brought back so many childhood memories and a sweet taste of home. We walked in perfect timing to see and hear the mariachis. We were taken care of quickly and the food was the absolute best part. I brought my boyfriend and it was also his first time in Mexico. Couldn't have gotten a better quick trip to Mexico. We shopped for souvenirs and the restaurant was exactly in the store too. Easy access, great food, great music and felt safe from danger and COVID.

    Where do I start? Let me start with great customer service. They cater to the customer. Food is delicious and very inexpensive. Clean restaurant and very clean restrooms. Let me finish with great drinks and most importantly is that they don't water down their alcohol here. Oh and I forgot to mention the great music. Don't forget to tip the band and your waiter.

    Never been to Mexico so while'll on the edge of Texas why not- we crossed the bridge and pancho bar had the highest rate ( we didn't wanna venture too deep into Mexico!) the streets are filled with venues wanting to sell you dental plans and tees... we entered a mini-mart that was HUGE with gift and things and a little grocery attached to it, the restaurant was inside this store- as soon as we entered you can hear the music and people clapping and dancing... I'm vegan so not a lot of options but I did get the veggie lancho ( bread and guacamole basically) nothing too special- I ordered a piña colada ( at first I didn't think there was any Alcohol in it, until I ordered my second glass...) I was tipsy on the walk back over the bridge... be prepared to show proof of your US citizenship along with some questions ( my questions were more intense than my hubby maybe be cause she knew I was a little tipsy, I was expecting them to check my purse but they never did...) I didn't buy anything just food! Lol here's some snaps!

    You are missing out if you don't come here. Seafood soup was amazing! Honestly it reminded me of a mexican gumbo. The flavor is outstanding!! Flan was also great. Can not recommend this place more. Did I mention strong drinks and great music!

    Chips and Salsa

    South Padre Island Beach Trip Day 3: Spent the day in Nuevo Progreso Centro!! This restaurant is upstairs above a local market. They have live music and a dance floor as well as a huge wrap around balcony! The food was good, especially the chips and salsa. The nachos on the other hand were not much to brag about. Very friendly and clean place to eat while visiting!!

    We travel to visit family in Texas and always cross the border to do some shopping and eating…read more Because of the pandemic, we wanted to eat outdoors and preferably not on the street. That's what led us to try Tony's. We had to enter through the Canada store and go up the escalator. It's spacious and well decorated. The staff was quick to greet us and lead us out onto the balcony. The adults ordered margaritas and the kids ordered sodas. I was not a fan of the margarita. It had no sweetness or taste of lime. I drank one and had no interest in another. The other adults in our party seemed to like them well enough and ordered more. They gave me the olives from their margaritas so I was happy enough. I ordered the enchiladas with chicken. They were good but not amazing. We got a dish of jalapenos and taking small slices of those with each bite made them even better. The meal came with rice and beans. Everything was just OK. Our party also ordered tamales, Panchos, and the Mexican plate. Everyone seemed to agree with my assessment. The food was average. The Mexican plate came with a small slice of cake at the end. I have no idea what it was but it was delicious. I took one bite and promptly ordered more for the table. We loved that cake! The service was a little on the slow side but the views and the attention to detail made up for it. It wasn't my favorite restaurant in Nuevo Progresso but it certainly wasn't the worst either. For outdoor eating during pandemic times, it was great. If our next visit is during non-pandemic times, I'll probably go back to another restaurant that I liked a little better.

    The view from Tony's can't be beat: second floor overlooking the main street. The atmosphere, as…read morewell as the facilities (restrooms), were very nice. There is ample indoor seating and there was even a live guitarist while we were there. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes at our table. I thought all of it was quite tasty. My only complaint might be that it seemed salty. But other than that, very good.
