"My partner and I recently moved to the area, and we were skeptical about this local Mexican joint being that small, 'seasonal tourist town ' food often leaves much to be desired. We also haven 't heard many folks talk about Tony 's for some reason, so we overlooked it. After having lunch there yesterday, we are gonna have a hard time staying away! The place was slammed when we walked in around 1:30pm every table was sat with just 2 recently vacated. We knew it was gonna be good from this sign alone. We picked a slightly dirty table, but a lovely woman (I believe the granddaughter of the original owner) came over to clean it off promptly and bring us a cold glass of water. It was cramped but cozy and we knew it would be worth the squeeze at the tiniest table in the joint. We ordered the Mexican platter with an enchilada, tamale, and chilé relleno, as well as the carne asada taco plate on fresh corn tortillas. The enchilada was one of the best I 've ever had. I can 't really explain why it was so good, being that it 's a relatively basic food item most of the time, but I could 've easily eaten 30. I stole half the relleno off my partners plate as well it was definitely one of the best I 've had and we were delighted with every bite. We wished we ordered a pile of rellenos and enchiladas. The rice and beans could stand alone, that 's how flavorful and delicious they were. A bit on the salty side, but the rice is probably the best Mexican rice I 've ever had. I have no idea what they do to that rice, but it doesn 't taste like any Mexican rice I 've ever had before (in the absolute best way). I 'm writing this as I eat my leftovers and it 's somehow even better on day 2. I would eat it dry. The carne asada tacos were loaded with fresh pico de Gallo and guacamole all the fresh onions, cilantro, and lime a girl could ever dream of. The carne was light, juicy, and delicious. No gristle. Perfectly grilled and tender. It isn 't the best carne I 've *ever* eaten flavor wise, but the fixings on top and the handmade FRESH corn tortillas were enough to take it to the next level. I would order it again. The free chips and salsa were gone in 20 seconds between the two of us. Nice and spicy, not watery, and very flavorful without being too hot. One of my favorite restaurant salsas in a long time. We chatted with several friendly servers once things calmed down (in true T or C style). Our service was fabulous and quick, our food came out fast, hot, and fresh and was excellent and AFFORDABLE. Coming from Montana, this is a 10/10. My only complaint was that these guys need a bigger restaurant with more tables! If you are just passing through and looking for truly authentic new Mexican cuisine at an amazing price point with great service and turn around, do not overlook this spot like we did. It will not disappoint!"

"The best pork tacos I've ever had! We were just passing through town and initially thought this place was a wine bistro. It had a different name in the past, which was a bit confusing, but it turns out they've revamped and improved the menu. I was pleasantly surprised to discover such amazing tacos and cocktails on a Tuesday, which is usually a quiet day here. The pizza was excellent as well, but for me, the pork tacos (el rojo) were definitely the highlight. I’d rate both the service and the food a perfect 10/10!"

"I give this restaurant five stars because of its location and quality of food. but only I stood in the entrance area and looked for a place to sit and it looks like it was quite full with several tables dirty. it took 10 minutes until someone asked me what I wanted, and I just asked if it was an open seating and if so, where I would sit. as new in this restaurant I didn't know where to sit now as all the tables were dirty, maybe they were left dirty due to the kovid and the 75% capacity restrictions with a turquoise code. After enough people finally came in, one of the servers came up and told me where I could sit. I sat down on the dirty table cleaned it in a proper baptism to be removed for them think I would be helpful. it took 10 minutes until my menu arrived after asking a waitress and finally enjoying a wonderful dinner. from what I belonged to other guests and a waitress close to, is that this was extremely crowded than usual. or maybe the day was just too nice to stay. I knew it could take a long time to get from there, I asked for a to-go box immediately after ordering my meal, as I told them I would know that I would take it with me and thought that this would be helpful and she said she would bring it directly with the meal. this did not happen for another 10 or 15 minutes. Now, everyone said and did they finally come back with the box and I quickly put my rest of the food in them asking for my review that I quickly got and checked on the switch after buying one of their neat looking cookies. good sale. I know they were very busy, but that's not an excuse to keep her eye on the door and see if someone needs help. I was a little excited, but I know that this is probably a fuke, as many of the people who knew the waiters and I suspect that they were mozen for a long time. love eating and I'm sure that the help would be more polite and polite if they don't probably get out and in a hurry try to bring us all. I will not come back any problem in the future."

"Consistently hearty and delicious! We've already gone twice for breakfast and once for lunch just 3 days into our 5 day stay. Everything is so flavorful! The breakfast eggs, bacon, potatoes, and corn tortillas are all top notch. The pancakes are fluffy and the French toast was great. Their carne asada burrito was also delicious and the guacamole was tasty, too! You sit down at any clean table and they bring out chips and salsa--the salsa has a good amount of kick and at first I wasn't sure about the flavor but it really grows on you. The food takes a bit of time to prepare but it's well worth the wait."
