Food very good. Never ate inside but to go orders always correct. My new favorite place.

The food is good enough that we went back. However, the tipping screen here is clearly designed to pressure customers. The highest option (30%) is placed first, followed by 25% and 20%, which uses psychology to nudge people into tipping more than they normally would. That's not transparent or fair and it feels manipulative. Tipping should reflect service, not be driven by a UI designed to maximize payouts. This setup is unacceptable and leaves a bad impression. read more

Quick and decently cheap for very good food! This restaurant was across from where we stayed and was a hidden gem as their burrito, fries, and sauces were all bomb! read more

Consistently Wonderful! I go back to Tony's Mexican Restaurant on LN610 every time--and I love it every single time. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and comforting, and the service makes you feel right at home. It's one of those rare places where you know exactly what to expect: a great meal, a warm atmosphere, and an experience that keeps you coming back again and again. Tony's has become one of my true go-to spots, and I can honestly say it never disappoints. Highly recommended! read more

Service was great! They are always so busy so it's great their service is good. Margaritas are good and strong, frozen is pretty sweet though but I'm sensitive to sweet drinks. The food is pretty average. Queso is decent, good enough to keep eating it when you're hungry. Salsa was not good. Chips weren't the best. Quesadillas were ok. For the price the food isn't terrible. It's a very casual place. read more

The best rice and beans!! Cheese enchiladas on point and always great service! Heights institution!

I'm so glad I went yesterday. It's been a long minute. Sooooo good! The salsa is warm and delicious. I couldn't stop eating it. I ordered the first thing off the lunch menu. I didn't get the name. It came with a crispy taco, puff with queso, cheese enchilada & guacamole. I was a little sad that it didn't come with rice & beans, it was good the way it was & it left me room for dessert. Everything was delicious and fresh. The guacamole was creamy and delicious too. I opted for the tres leches after asking the attentive server and it was good, not the best in my opinion but not the worst. Staff was very attentive. The only thing was the music seemed to be really loud. Or maybe I'm just getting old. Lol Will definitely be back. read more

Love this place. Flies under the radar but good lord is it good. The food: started off with a chile con queso. Solid. Different. (Ask for extra jalapeños). Usually go for one of the combos, but today went with the Tony's Parrilla (with side of taquero sauce), cheese enchiladas, and an "El Coerver" for the table (kids cheese burger with chile con carne, grilled onions & jalapeños- do not miss this!). Finished with the churros. The flour tortillas are also great, corn could use improvement, but not enough to dock points (I prefer flour). Service: great. Glasses never empty, margaritas were flowing, prompt. Efficient. Ambiance: a classic tex-mex joint, through and through. Highly recommend. read more

This was my favorite restaurant for twenty years, and one way for me not to come back ever is roaches! I was at the bar, took some friends for the first time they witnessed the roaches moving across the top at bar. I told the bartender and he was like okay. The manager comes to say I'm sorry, she wanted to offer me a free dessert. Why would I eat anything from here, we had two margaritas: she didn't even give us a discount. I can handle anything but roaches. read more

Tony's Mexican Restaurant - A roach across the bar - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is one of my favorite TexMex restaurants. The food is always spot on and plentiful. I don't have children, but I think that kids eat free or cheaply on certain nights. Very family friendly place. The kind of place that says Welcome Home when you enter. Now for the important stuff! Margaritas! The only thing that would make them better is to bring back the old Happy Hour times. Some of my favorite things are the Fajitas, crispy tacos, fish tacos and the chile con queso. Yum! The staff offers great service! They aim to please. If they know you, they will stop by your table to say hello. Doesn't matter their position at the restaurant. Also you will find many regular customers there, every night. They also play sports on big screen tv. If you're into that. read more

Great Tex Mex food and service. Really enjoyed the experience. Prices were reasonable.

Visited this place during my lunch break with some coworkers. The hostesses were super friendly from the moment we walked in greeting us with a warm welcome. They walked us to our table where immediately a server came over and got our drink order. We ordered skinny margaritas to start off. My margarita was perfect but my coworker said hers was too strong. The waiter noticed her reaction and offered to fix the problem for her. Super nice! They bring complementary chips and salsa but we also ordered queso. I was surprised at how good it was! Super flavorful and came with a side of pickled jalapenos. So good! For my entre I ordered the pechuga poblana stuffed with shrimp. This is a huge dish! This shrimp stuffed chicken breast comes smothered in the most delicious and creamy poblano sauce. It also cames with white rice, homemade tortillas, and some of the best black beans ever. The black beans were the highlight of the entire meal for me. This Mexican spot really nailed the beans!!! I have a small appetite so I ended up taking half of my plate to go. It tasted just as good for lunch the next day. My coworkers also really enjoyed the food here and we have decided to add this to our frequent lunch spots. 10/10 service and food quality so you really cannot ask for more! read more

I like their Shirley Temple with cherries and i like their chicken nachos and I like it with jalapeños it was so good

Complimentary chips and salsa? Check. Margarita specials? Check. Good service? Check. I've passed by this place before but haven't been able to try until recently. It's a great place to burn off some steam over drinks with good people. I enjoyed my 1/2 and 1/2 margarita and the chips and dip are on point. I also enjoyed my Heights Combo, it has birria flautas, chicken quesadilla, and a cheese enchilada. It was all delicious. I'll be back for more drinks and good food. read more

Not really out vibe... food was okay but expensive vs the quality / flavors. The restaurant reminded me of the family style restaurants I'd go to as a child in the 90's, meaning it's a good spot if you have a young child / or family. Service was pretty good. read more

On May 7 I took my son to Tony's for dinner. He was in town for medical follow up appointments and had requested to go to Tony's for dinner. We arrived and my son had a small apple juice bottle with about an inch of apple juice in the bottle which was his cancer medication that he needs to take at dinner time. He was told by the manager that he could not take the bottle in with him. My son said "it is my medicine", the manager said "well I can't allow you to take it in". I looked at the manager and said "he has cancer and it is his medicine". His reply was "I can't allow you to take it in". Needless to say we will not be returning to this restaurant. Horrible customer service!!! read more

Tony's is always a great place to dine. Thank you Mynor for excellent service!! We love Tony's and will be back very soon.

We visited Tony's Saturday, 10/18. When we entered, we were met by the most friendliest staff who thanks us for coming back and called us "family". That set the stage. Service by Brian was on point. He was attentive to our wants at every stage of the meal. We always get the Brisket queso (10/10), we didn't "big back" and get our usual portion of nachos but we ordered our usual Beef enchiladas with rice and refried beans (YUM X 10,000). I also ordered a brisket enchilada (heavenly)! We met one of the managers and spoke with him and he was really appreciative of our visiting that day and our continued patronize for the last 20+ years. Tony's hits the spot for Tex-Mex for us every time! 10/10. read more

I ordered beef fajita enchiladas and was very disappointed. First, the meat was NOT recognizable as fajita meat; more like cubed round steak. Second, the enchiladas were drenched in cheese sauce nullifying any chance of tasting the alleged fajita meat. Third, the refried beans were runny and tasteless. Lastly, the chips were stale and tasted awful. On top of it all, I've never eaten in such a depressing restaurant environment in my life!!! Sorry for all the negativity but that was my experience. I wish them well but I'm amazed that they have stayed in business as long as they have, read more

Food was great but the people who works there they judge you for everything I feel very unwelcome, I feel that they need to teach them manners. Very nice place but people like that make it ugly. read more

servers are very attentive and friendly. food is always fresh and hot! I come here every week and never a negative experience! 5/5

I am updating Tony's and giving it 2 stars. The food is the same, but the owner, who used to make the ambience like going to church, now has added 70+ inch TV screens EVERYWHERE. You cannot escape it. We will NOT be going back. What the heck, dude??? read more

The food I get there is very flavorful and delicious. The prices could be lowered a little bit. It's a little pricey, but overall good.

Wait staff is always friendly and welcoming. I love their queso dip. Well, I used to. Not the same consistency as it used to be. Now it's just a lump of melted velveeta. Disappointing as I had been craving their queso for 2 days! read more

My husband and I came here on a Friday night without a rez and we were told it would be 25 mins, but it was only 5 mins before we were seated!! They have plenty of parking and there was a band outside to keep you entertained while you wait. Ambiance It is loud. We could barely hear each other and sounds seemed to echo. Service Very fast service and friendly staff. Food/Drink The drinks came out quick and were tasty. The skinny marg was strong. The brisket enchiladas were no bueno like we couldn't eat a second bite. It was burnt and dry and just funky. The fajitas were yummy though!! Enjoyed the beef and the flour tortillas. We ordered the churros and they absolutely made up for the gross enchiladas. So good!! Overall, I would come back for the fajitas and the churros. Maybe just order out to avoid the noisiness. read more

Tony's Mexican Restaurant - Combo Fajitas Skinny Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came to this place with some co workers that live around the area and they recommended it so I decided to check it out. When I walked in, I expected it to be an older place and not so well kept but it looked good on the inside. I requested a table for five and I was shown to my table right away. They were having happy hour until 6pm, $5 margaritas. I had a half mango, half strawberry with a chamoy rim. It was strong! It wasn't the best but best bang for your buck for sure. I also ordered a model after that and they served me the beer with a nice frosted mug, I liked that. The chips and house salsas were good and the chili con queso was great as well. Didn't take a pic of it. For my meal I ordered the nachos, half beef and half chicken. The cheese was a generous amount and tasted good! It came with jalapeños and sour cream and Guacamole. Over all the food and drinks weren't bad, it's not expensive either and service was very good. If you're in the area, stop by! read more

This review is mainly for Uber eats. Loyal customer usually go once a week but when I'm sick or busy we Uber eats... All 3 times they keep forgetting my margarita & they usually try to blame the driver. This time we specifically told the driver 2 drinks and once he showed up he said nope they said you only ordered a Dr Pepper. Talked to the manager and he said once your husband gets there let's see what I can do for him..I guess what he did was leave my margarita in front cause the front hostess had no clue & said the manager told her nothing. Geeez not even throw in some free chips (that are usually free) anyways lost 2 customers that tip pretty awesome. read more

Really, really good Tex-Mex. Guess I've gotten lucky every time here because I'm pretty baffled by some of the bad reviews. The tacos Al carbon are tender and flavorful. The cheese enchiladas had a nice scald on the cheese and the chili con carne was serviceable. The chips are standard and the salsa is served warm so no issues there. The rice and beans were good as well. My daughter got a chicken enchilada with a verde sauce that was delicious as well. The extra tortillas were good. The service has been consistently good without being smothering. They are also very accommodating with allowing to order pretty much what you want a La carte. Just a very good experience all around every time I have been. read more

Ive been going to Tony's since it opened in 1992. Its my fav! We love Tony's! We always go for our families birthdays!

Sometimes I reflect on my past behavior and I'm so ashamed. My name is Tom and I'm addicted to chile con queso and tortilla chips. I can't stop. I attacked the chips and queso with the ferocity of a crackhead. Salsa was ok. Beef and chicken fajitas were on pernt. Everything from the bar was good. Service was good. We had a fun time here. Fantastic concert on the patio. I'll be honest with you, I had too much to drink. I remember it being a really good restaurant. Four star level. read more

Very busy place and can get quite loud. The service is very good. Margaritas are strong 4/5 We ordered the Chile con queso 3/5, guacamole Mexicano 4.5/5, brisket enchiladas 3.5/5, chicken fajitas 4/5, flautas de birria 4/5, and carnitas street tacos 4/5. read more

Best staff and food! I have been going to Tony's for many years and they never cease to amaze me with their great food and excellent staff. I really like the fajitas and the Margaritas are the best.

Food just ok. Nothing special. Drinks very watered down seemingly cheap tequila. Not sure I would need to go here again.

Ok so who doesn't love a Tony's margarita?? Exactly everyone comes here for the margs but the food is great too! Love the staff & how fun it is here however I will say I do tend to stay away during holidays it is too much! Other than that nothing bad to say about Tony's read more

Always friendly; courteous and happy staff! Food is excellent as are the unlimited chips and salsa; guacamole and cheese dip are wonderful as are their margaritas! Come before 6:00 on Fridays as the restaurant fills up really quickly. read more

service was good. we asked not to be bothered until we called him!!!! we like to take our time. He was good for this part We ordered the number 1 and the number 4 combos The ground beef tacos were horrible. The ground beef was dry and unflavored.....very bland. The bean tortilla had almost no beans on it!!!!! I couldnt believe it! I scraped the beans off the tortilla and got less than a half teaspoon. The queso chip,was 95% chip and 5% cheese. What a waste of our money!!!!!! we went without a refill of water the entire time,,,,,, And they want a 20% tip?????? read more

I have now been here 3 times with a group of friends, and I don't understand why they like this place - or did. The first time I had the flautas and it seems like the grease was old and/or they left them sitting if not hot enough grease. When served they were sitting in a pool of grease. Ok, no biggie; one time I could forgive especially since they were extremely busy on the Sunday I went. The next time I went in the group's regular Tuesday dinner there, and I tried the Chicken Fajita tacos al carbon. The chicken was dry and there wasn't much flavor to it. For the price I was expecting a really good tasty dinner but that wasn't the case. This week I joined the group for Tuesday dinner and tried the shredded chicken enchiladas on corn tortillas, and this time they nailed it. Unfortunately I was the only one happy with how things were going. All were complaining about their margaritas and the two major differences than how they used to be (the reason they had decided to make their Tuesday group dinners at Tony's). First and foremost was the taste: they complained that the margaritas no longer taste great. The second change is the alcohol content in the frozen margaritas was such that the drink tasted only of too sweet mix and no alcohol. Then, for a group having come almost every week for years, they couldn't get a white wine - and when one was found it wasn't chilled (and even after being told they still wanted it, it was never put on ice). With so many options for Tex Mex restaurants in Houston, customer service is the one thing that can make a difference - and evidently the margaritas and customer service used to be spectacular. Listening to the group members, they made comments about another place that they preferred the food and margaritas, but the customer service here used to be so great the group preferred here over other places. Our server was amazing! She was able to delicately take care of the table even with all the grumblings, but the ownership management has definitely changed in the loss of quality customer service compared to the older generation of ownership that used to own the restaurant. As one group member said as we were leaving: this just isn't the same Tony's we used to enjoy coming to. Since I drive an hour to come join them - I have to say other than seeing my friends, Tony's isn't worth the drive. read more

Pros: plain cheese queso, staff, margaritas, green salsa, vibes, fajita chicken, kid friendly Cons: flour tortillas (too thick of dough), fajita steak tougher than preferred. read more
