"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!"

"Today, my family and I ordered takeout pizza from Sidekixx, and it was absolutely delicious. The crust was cooked to perfection, and I loved that I could customize it with all my favorite toppings. However, I didn’t give a higher rating because the ranch dressing portion was disappointingly small, and its texture was a bit too thick for my taste. During my last visit, I tried the Robin Burger, which had a unique blend of spices on the patty that didn’t quite appeal to me. On a positive note, the fries were fantastic! Despite this, I would definitely come back; the rest of the menu looks incredible, and I’m sure everything else will be just as great."

"5 stars breakfast! we stopped on our road trip and were worried because we saw a Dennys and mcdonalds as early piece options, but found this place right above the road on google. what a great sound. how many places post pandemic they seem to be with what seems to be a person serving the entire restaurant. Although this was the case that we were served quickly, our food was out in no time and we wanted nothing. breakfast is all in the details because we all know that it is quite hard to screw. here are some things that make a 5-star breakfast in my book. 1. Egg cooked perfectly and served hot. 2. thick speck, which is crisp and was patched dry. 3. light and fluffy pancakes can cut them with a fork. 4. a bottle warm sirup no small packings or a small stingy cup. 5. The biggest cookie I've ever seen, tasty, butter in the teig, delicious."

"I love eating here. 9/10. (only because it doesn't make me full, are a little bit small, but overall delicious and worth it) my only real question is when I go there, I'm not greeted. always. I'm just saying where you want, and someone will help you soon. and wait for about 15 minutes until they ask me what I want, one of the young waiters will come to me and it seems that they are so busy that they forget to have a good job! but they simply take their order quickly and they see them running around, but they never check on them. I saw a young man sitting over an hour without even getting a drink. Finally, a cook I had belive came and offered him a drink. eating is amazing. I think the personal needs a little dc and customer service training. how the atmosphere feels rushed and not really pleasant."

"We were in truth or Consequences on a Sunday night and not much was open. We ended up at the local tap room where an employee from Grapevine popped in handing our menus, stating they were not open for seating but open for carryout. We ordered a burger, salad and tortilla chips/salsa. The server was working very hard walking back and forth to the restaurant and the food was fine...but definitely not 5 star. The salad was generous, the hamburger average and the chips were the bottom of the bag (crumbled pieces). Kudos to the restaurant for making it work with the brewery. Good...just not 4 or 5 star"
