Got a sausage breakfast burrito to go. It hit the spot. But what really put it over the top was the green tomatillo salsa. It has a very smoky flavor to it and it taste I have never had before and it is off the hook good. read more

Tony's Restaurant - Breakfast burritos with green tomatillo salsa - Mexican Near Me - Poncha Springs, Colorado

On a road trip, and the location was perfect for filling up the car and grabbing some brunch. FOOD: Mild, tomato-tasting salsa with the complementary chips. The ladies split the chilaquiles, and declared them excellent. The guys had the chorizo breakfast burrito, which was tasty, but with a bit too much cheese and a bit too much chorizo for the mix (which may be just my taste). The green chili served over the burrito was quite nice. SERVICE: Tony (I presume) was friendly and helpful. Service was a little slow -- he seemed to be juggling a lot -- but we weren't in a great hurry. AMBIANCE: It's not posh. Based on the sign, it's been there for decades. But it's clean and straightforward. NET-NET: Good food, decent surroundings and service. If opportunity presents, we'll definitely be back. read more

This is not a fancy place but the food was generous and delicious and the service was excellent! Thank you all for the wonderful lunch!!

Tony has some great food. And Tony is always fun to be around. Great. His burritos in the morning when he drops off at businesses and construction sites are bomb read more

Terrible Worst experience ever in a restaurant. I ordered the mushroom cheeseburger 9.99, And a glass of ice water. Now I have the runs and was charged over $20 for the meal.. I tried to get Tony to correct the mistake in charge made it correct price. And he refused and true me a couple of dollars. See pictures Of the menu and prices on his website. I suggest you run far away from this restaurant before. You get the runs like I did. read more

Great spot. Food was darn good too. Tony was super nice and cracked a few jokes with the kids.

We were exploring different places to eat In the area and where we wanted to go was closed so we tried Tony's. So glad we ended up here. It was delicious and the service was outstanding. It felt like we were eating with family. We will be back! read more

Stopped for gas and ran in to grab tacos. Best. Decision. Ever. Fast service great food. Highly recommend.

Love Tony!! He's the best guy and has the best food. No better service. Would totally recommend!!

Great food great service Tony and his family are amazing loving and kind and they can cook some delicious authentic Mexican food

Good al pastor tacos and breakfast burritos. Gunsmoke on the TV was an interesting ambiance.

Strategically stopped on our way to Ouray, and it was a treat. Tony served us with a smile, quick wit and obviously loved what he does. We started with the cinnamon role, which was baked perfectly and delicious cream cheese/butter frosting. We had the burritos and pork enchiladas. Both of which were tasty and spiced perfectly (not too hot). We will try to make this our regular stop on our way to telluride or ouray! read more

Solid Mexican food with large portions at a very reasonable price. Service was a bit slow, but the place was packed and I think there were only three people working. I would definitely go back if I'm ever int he area again. read more

If you're ever out this way please check out this place: Tony's Restaurant- fantastic food. You know when someone loves what they do because the end result is wonderful! Lots of love put into all the food, which of course is the best ingredient to ever exist. Tony and good wife run it and they're wonderful. Food is amazing! I had the machaca and egg. Better than I've ever had. Not dry at all. It was served with diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and onions. Makes me hungry just talking about it. David had biscuits and gravy. Huge portions and a great price! read more

An amazing family owned Mexican food restaurant with a at home feel and big flavors in there food. The only was extremely kind and the atmosphere was open and friendly. My boyfriend and I and the every costumer engaged in conversation about the road closure that all brought all together. Tony chatted with us while both being an attentive host and friend. Highly recommend. Try the pastor! read more

Went back this time and they were open. So we had a nice family lunch and were entertained by a local as well as the owner. Got to love places with friendly faces and great food. Everything we had was delicious. Be sure to stop in for your TexMex fix. read more

Went on a Tuesday morning at 8:30. It's closed. Get your hours of operation correctly posted!! Yelp says you serve breakfast, is open and open to 4p. read more

I don't stop as often as I should as this is a real gem hidden next to a gas station in Poncha Springs. Actually, come to think of it most restaurants in Poncha Springs are next to gas stations. Regardless, ever time I have been in Tony has been my server. He has a loyal local clientele and the food is tasty and reasonably priced. I'm a gringo originally from upstate New York so I don't feel qualified to judge mexican food, but I have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. If you are looking for a friendly atmosphere with good food at a good value you can't go wrong at Tony's! read more

Small little hole in the wall gem!!! Tony is super friendly and fast. The food was amazing and did not taste like some production line food. Highly recommend if you are in this neck of the woods! read more

Tony's is a somewhat lonesome roadhouse style restaurant on the "outskirts" of tiny Poncha Springs. It's a good stop if you're headed west toward Monarch Pass on U.S. 50 or south on U.S. 285, because it's just about the last restaurant for dozens of miles going in those directions. Tony's menu is mostly Mexican, with some American stuff thrown onto the menu for good measure. On the day we were there, Tony himself was the only guy on the floor--his wife was apparently cooking in the back--and he had his hands full with all of the ten or eleven tables in the restaurant. He forgot our drink orders for quite awhile, but when he arrived with them he more than made up for it with his unnecessarily profuse apologies, as well as with his genuine friendliness during the rest of our visit. The al pastor in my quesadillas was succulent and spicy, just the way you want it to be. It was also plentiful. This was very simple Mexican food--no bells and whistles at Tony's--but very satisfying just the same. 3.5 stars, rounded up. N.B. For what it's worth, the wife would disagree with my rating. She thought her plate of vegetarian Mexian food was very mediocre. But she's not writing this review! read more

Good food, great service. Reasonable prices. Always happy when the timing is right to stop in. Tony works really hard and runs a great little Mexican place. Love it!! read more

This place is simply amazing!! Best Carne Asada tacos I've ever had!! Everything is scratch made to order, but still comes out in a timely manner.

Amazing Mexican food, super nice owner and the food came fast and it was a good size portion. Absolutely would stop again if we came through town! read more

Drove from Salida after reading the reviews. This restaurant was CLOSED on a Saturday night. I think it is out of business.

Cute, family-owned, wholesome, low key, and, great Mexican food, Tony, the owner, served us quickly and food was excellent.

When traveling we like to eat local. It's usually a unique experience and excellent food. That's exactly what Tony's is. With about 30 seats to the entire restaurant it's very intimate. We were immediately sat and from the outset the service was phenomenal. I have a family of six and they were accommodating of my children. No issues with special orders and the food came out quickly. Everything we ate tasted great. Would definitely make effort to stop here when passing by again. read more

Stopped in for lunch on our way down to Pagosa Springs. The access ramp is a bit steep, the bathrooms are not accessible, but the food is terrific and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The pork green chili was my fav, but if we're in the neighborhood again, we'll be back read more

Tony is doing it right! This was our first time trying it and this place was fantastic! Tacos Al Pastor were great. Tony is extremely friendly. Will definitely come back when we are in the area. read more

The Chile rellanos rock! The refried beans and dip were superb Tony is so friendly as well. Excellent place to stop.

The food was fantastic, well prepared, everyone's food came together. I had dinner of carne asada with beans, avocados, tomatoes, and rice; which was the best and most tender flank steak dinner , that I had ever eaten. My family ate everything from burritos, tacos, Mexican combos, all with beans, avocados, jalapenos, lettuce, tomatoes, real shredded cheese, and fried Spanish rice. The food was hot, fresh, flavorful and affordable. Six adults ate large portions with tea or sodas each for 81.00. We were all amazed, pleased, and full. read more

We needed a place to eat between long stretches of open road on our way from Leadville to Pagosa Springs in July last year so we stopped at the junction of roads which is Poncha Springs (near Salida). It seemed like the few restaurants in town were all closed but Tony's was open. Good thing for us since it really hit the spot. The place was too busy for our group of 6 to eat inside so we ate on a picnic table outside. Fine with us since it was a great day and a nice breeze and some mountains in the distance that looked like they were getting rained on. Tacos al Pastor were fantastic as well as enchiladas supremas, burritos and everyone loved their food. Service was very good. Fun time. Tony's is a great Mexican food oasis for road travelers, definitely need them on the Yelp map. read more
