The food was delicious! My husband had pastor tacos and I had a deluxe torta. Both of us were happy with our meals. The salsa bar is nice and has a few different options, including a cactus salad that I thought was especially good. Staff was friendly and service was good. I wish we lived closer, we'll definitely have to come back next time we're nearby. read more

Yes it's in a gas station- but this food is legit. The options for different tacos is huge. First time visiting can be overwhelming to order. Glad I chose the chili releno- so good! read more

Expectation: hole in the wall taco spot next to a gas station Reality: best hole in the wall taco spot I love Tony's tacos and always crave the carne asada and al pastor tacos as I don't live near Tony's. They are always great. Service isn't always consistent but I still always try to find a way to hit Tony's when I'm in Bloomington-Normal read more

Best tacos in normal. Very reminiscent of authentic Tex mex. Definitely the go to spot

Came here today for the first ( and last ) time ( 11/22/ 25. I ordered the enchilada meal.... When I took a bite of the enchilada, it was COLD, and the exact same thing with the refried beans. To say that I was disgusted is an understatement. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, they enquired if I wanted another meal, to which I refused. I then asked for a refund, to which they flatly declined. I now have some sort of stomach virus, and will most likely miss work tomorrow. I also spoke with another patron, and they reported the same exact issue. When I informed them that I was going to file a complaint with the health department, they literally stated that they did not care. Well, we'll see how "much they don't care " when a health inspector gives them a THOROUGH inspection !!! read more

Great food, great service! Love their salsa and lime bar too, I always like to get more limes!

I will go out of way to eat here. The staff is very friendly and the service is excellent. I feel like the prices are reasonable. The best Chili relleno I ever had was here! read more

Love this spot. If you are looking for delicious staples this is the place. Good food, no frills. The salsa bar is my favorite. Quick service. I have been here few times and did not have trouble finding seating, but place does get busy. read more

Far exceeded my expectations! I've driven by Tony's Tacos dozens of times when visiting Normal but tonight was my first time trying it. I had a "quesadilla taco" (a corn shell with ground beef, chihuahua cheese, and sour cream) and a "Mexican-style" tostado (steak grilled with tomatoes and jalapeños), beans & rice, and chips & salsa. I also sampled several of the homemade salsas from their salsa bar. Everything deserves five stars (for perfect seasoning and great quality ingredients) but my favorite was the tostado. The menu at Tony's is pretty extensive so I look forward to going back soon to try other items like burritos and tamales. The price was pretty good too- especially since I have plenty of chips and salsa left over for another meal. read more

Tony's Taco's "Steak V's Keto Salad" with tomatillo salsa as the dressing, is my new healthy favorite meal! Less than 400 calories, 32g protein, 7 carbs and only $9! I've had it twice in the last week! read more

First time here. One side of the restaurant is located within a gas station... So not the best curb appeal. The inside was spacious. Approximately 10 four top tables. 4 two top tables. 4 booths. You order and pay at a counter. They will give you a number and bring your food out to you. We ordered streak, fish and birria tacos. We also ordered a burrito and horchata. All the food was delicious. The tacos consisted of 2 layered corn tortillas, the protein of choice, onions and cilantro. There is salsa and other condiments available in a side bar. This was a plus. Room for improvement: 1. The horchata was grainy. Needs to be blended more? 2. Need to sell bottled water or have a filtered water dispenser accessible to patrons. read more

It took them 40 minutes to take out 3 tacos and the horchata was pasty and tasted like straight rice. I do like the atmosphere and tony taco's watchful eye. GIVE ME MY FOOD TONY read more

So the recommended tacos were great, the steak on corn tortillas, onions and cilantro of course topped with fresh tomatillo salsa and the fish taco in flour tortilla with just a squeeze of lime! What I am reviewing is the service, when I asked to add an extra tip so I could 2.00 in quarters for emergency night laundry during a business trip, the cashier was nice enough to take 2.00 from her own person and convert to quarters. Rosa was my cashier but the young lady really stepped up and shared what makes us human is compassion. Any time I'm in Normal, IL I'll do business at such a place! read more

I know im 5'7 but the dude at the counter looked right over my head and asked the people behind me what they needed. Besides him though the food is always great and comes out fast. read more

Yeah this place is gross. Wanting tips BEFORE food is ordered. Dirty tables, workers don't deliver food to table. AVOID!

Nice place. We did a taco take out. Food and the sauce was authentic and service fast. Recommended

Delicious! We were in the mood for tacos, just tacos. These were nice traditional Mexican tacos. They had a lot to choose from. I went for the steak and chicken tinga, with sour cream and queso fresco on the side. 2 tacos is plenty of food, I thought they were good sized and had a lot of meat. They have a salsa bar so don't leave without grabbing some for your tacos. The guacamole was really good! I would definitely go back and try some more. read more

My mom and I came here after my daughter had a performance at the stadium across the street. The food here is excellent! We had the chips and guacamole and the Birria Tacos. This was my first time having birria tacos and they were so flavorful. They were stuffed with meat and came with the pan juices to dip the tacos in. I also have to give the staff some props. The restaurant was packed with parents and they did not skip a beat. We didn't have to wait long at all for our food. Give them a try! read more

This place is LEGIT. The tacos were fantastic and as authentic as abuela's kitchen. They were super accommodating when we arrived at closing time (probably annoying customers lol), the cashier was adorable, the place was clean, the prices are really reasonable for the quality & quantity and our large order was prepared so quickly. Gracias!! read more

Had this place the other day for carry-out. Let's do a review. Service. Good, at least for how busy they were. 15 minute wait. Food. I had the chorizo and birria tacos. The chorizo taco tasted kind of... Bland? It was just this kind of nondescript crumbly meat; not the hot, punchy, bold flavor I'm accustomed to from chorizo. The birria tacos were decent though - the outer tacos had a nice kind of chewy crisp to them. The beef also wasn't particularly well-seasoned, but the consommé made up for it. Texture-wise the meat was a little too tough for my taste but it wasn't too offensive. Now for the score. Most people are giving Tony's 4 & 5 star reviews. But I can't say the same for what I ate - the spicy, hearty flavor I expect from Mexican food just wasn't there. Maybe I just ordered the wrong items on the menu, or stopped by on too busy of a night. I don't know. 5.5/10 read more

It is a busy place during lunch time. This gem offers authentic Mexican food. Price is reasonable. You can order and find a table to sit down and eat. This is my first time eating there. Recommended! Will go read more

Whether a snack or a meal, Tony's is quick, inexpensive, fresh, and tasty. This is more a fast casual than fast food place. Everything tastes like it was cooked when you ordered it. Enjoyed the steak and grilled chicken tacos today with chips and a Mexican Coke. Appreciated the eye contact and sincere "Thanks for coming in today" while waiting the credit card to process. read more

Sooo good!! Our favorite place in town! The steak is great and the burritos are big. read more

I have been all over the country as a prior military veteran. Tacos are my favorite cuisine and when I try something new especially tacos my attentiveness to quality is very high. When you see this building on the side of a gas station do not let it fool you! This is top 5 for me tacos all time. I've had them everywhere. The freshness, the quality the tortillas the cashiers and cooks were kind and the fresh salsa bar caps it all off. Do yourself a favor and make a trip. It won't be your last. read more

i just got some loaded nachos and they were fucking DISGUSTING!!! greasy and dry. terrible food. i've nevr had an issue here. mexican food is usually good but this was terrible. i tried to get a refund and they refused. please stop putting money into their pockets. food isn't good, restaurant is dirty, and the customer service sucks ass. i hate that i even have to give them one good star. let's boycott tony's tacos! read more

Deliciously authentic Mex. if you like Fiesta Ranchera and/or Moe's please don't come here. Leave this place for those of us who don't care for Americanized Mexican food that's slathered in cheese and/or ranchero sauce. Although it's a tad small, Tony has been there taking the orders every time I've visited - he has a passion for serving quality food and the patience to help you select something new if your willing to reach out a beyond tacos and burritos. To that end, try the tortas, hurraches and chillaquiles...doubt you will be disappointed! Just keep in mind that word is getting out and especially when the students are back, it will likely be crowded during prime eating hours. read more

Pretty decent place. I got a steak burrito it was filled with sour cream and all the standard fixings. If you're looking an affordable taco place near campus this is your spot read more

Nachos were not good at all. I came here and tried the Nachos. They were not good. It was a large portion but they were smothered in fake cheese sauce and just slightly warm. I guess for about $13 I was expecting something hot with real melted cheese. The carne asada was not very good either. My stomach was upset all night and all the next day after eating here. read more

food is so good!!! good service!!! clean space!!! 10/10 coming back here. gotta try this place! read more

Been to each of their locations a handful of times, their food and service never disappoint.

May have been a rare experience that i endured. I ordered steak tacos, they were down right unedible. The steak was a thin gray thin slab of uncut fatty steak with no seasoning. I was given half a tomato and onion, neither of which were cut up. I ate my side of rice and threw it all away. read more

Delicious tacos. My daughter attends ISU and said I needed to come with her and try this amazing Mexican place. Its just down the road from her apartment. Tasty, tasty tacos and delicious sauces. We make it a point to have tacos there whenever I'm in town. They are active on social media and always appreciate the input about their food and service. If you are in the Bloomington-Normal area I highly recommend you seek them out and have some delicious freshly made street tacos. They have a full menu and two locations but we always visit the Main street location and order half a dozen steak tacos to share. Delish. read more

First timer here and it was amazing! I ordered the Birria, fish, and carne asada for myself and chicken tacos for my boyfriend. All were fantastic! Got a side of salsa, guac, and queso - all were great. The salsa was on the spicy side (I thought it was great, my boyfriend on the other hand can't so spicy). Will definitely return to try again! Authentic flavor profiles. read more

Tacos were very tasty & actually surprisingly filling. Go check it out if you are craving quality tacos

The meat tasted like it belonged in a Chinese food dish. I am from Texas and have not found the Tex-Mex that fits my taste expectation.

There is a reason this little place is rated more than 4.5 on major review sites. Fast, fresh, yummy, cheap, easy access, great location, awesome service. I tried the no. 1 torta, and it's pretty good. Although the pork is a little salty and I bearly tasted any pineapple. read more
