Decent little place in downtown Leamington. The service was terrible. We had to get up ask for menus and for drinks and to order. Not once did our server come to us. She may be the owner. As for being authentic, it may be for Canada but I lived in California for 20 yrs so that is my gauge on its authenticity. The chips are good but the salsa may be too spicy for some. I had a beef burrito which was tasty but definitely nothing special. Prices are above average for what you get.

Got the 3 taco combo and the food was amazing! I decided to try all three out of the options for the assorted taco combo Mexican style and I cannot pick a favourite. Environment was fun as well!

Authentic. Sopa de ress (beef soup) supposed to be made with oxtail as well. Great soup though. Had carne asada (marinated grilled steak)... and the beef wasn’t very marinated. Was hard, tasty nonetheless. Only other downside was the rice. Too salty. Atmosphere was good, watching some World Cup while eating some supper. Highly recommended

UPDATE WAS The Best Tacos EVER NOT ANYMORE !!!!! Years later and I still love ❤️ Tacos Tony 🌮 ❤️ I drive almost 2 hours for these, Great prices , service, and did I say the BEST DAM tacos ever. UPDATE I have been going here for years driving almost 2 hours and I have to say I won't be back prices have gone up and tacos are smaller meaning less meat and toppings, shame they where great, not any more I won't be back. Before and after picks below sad so sad. Dear owner, it's not the tray you put them on its the fact that there is way less meat and toppings look at the photos I posted. Update 06-08-2024 Was back in to see if anything change and it was worse had 4 tacos one was ok the other 3 had little to no meat, served on a little white plate now as seen in photo, so sad they used to be good With so many other good places in town they really need to make some changes and get the 2 brothers back working there !!!

I wrongly assumed that the vegetarian tacos would have veggies (peppers, maybe?) in them. My mistake. They re just regular tacos at the same price but without the meat. In other words, a bit of refried beans with lettuce. Will have to try some other places in Leamington to see what other vegetarian options might be available.

The service and food is one of the best I had experienced here. The owner is absolutely a kind soul as the manager is too. Both are amazing and the food is just absolutely delicious. The chicken flautus and, believe it or not, their chicken burger is addicting......i know right? You have to tryvit to understand..soo good. Thank you for always being soo kind while making one of the most delicious foods. Amazing staff , amazing authentic food. Cant stress enough.

The enchilada plate is poorly served, they give you a pile of beans and they want to spread the rice over the entire plate so that it can be seen a lot and the truth is that its laughable, its better to keep your rice and beans and for the 14 dollars that They charge for that dish, not even to return, thank you

I dont get it.. I bought a few beef burritos for me and every one of my family ( 2 each) and nobody liked it..including me.. Very bland. Literally all I tasted was corn.. then when I put the salsa on it all we tasted was hot corn.. .. thats it... Very disappointed........Saw ur response.. the whole corn comment is actually irrelevant.. the bottom line is ...none of us liked your food. It was disgusting.

I am a long haul truck driver and spend a lot of time in Texas where there is a lot of tex/mex food and hands down Tonys is still the best Mexican food I have ever had. They have an incredible staff, cooks, the food is always perfect and we re always treated like gold when we come in. You won t find a better more authentic Mexican restaurant in Canada.

As one of my Leamington Top 3s, Im highly fond of Tacos Tony. There is some indisputable charm about the modesty and ambiance of this little establishment. While it may garner some criticism, its far beyond my concerns in terms of having a good time when out and about the town of Leamington. Yes, Ive had my meal screwed up once or twice, only to accidentally receive and equally tasty dish. For picky dieters, you may be dismayed that your chicken tacos came up beef, or you may be judgy when you receive straight fries one day but wavy fries the next on essentially the same dish, feeling as if this was some amateur establishment - but the taste doesnt lie, the charm doesnt falter and the wallet seldom burns afterwards. I dont believe in the myth of perfection - in fact, imperfections sometimes add to the bigger picture. As far as Im concerned, the paramount issue for any food establishment is safety, and here, the food is edible and the quality is credible. I get a laugh out of the occasional whoopsie in my servings, as I walk out with two delicious taco supremes for less than 5 bucks no matter what animal, chicken or beef, finds its way into that tortilla shell. The fries supreme, even in the poquito size, are daunting to say the least. Bring your stomach, and bring it downright vacuous. And I mean room to spare. You will fill yourself up for a single purple bill, you have my word. If I remember correctly, an order of tacos supreme and fries supreme together was priced at around 8 or 9 dollars. You bet your paycheck I walked out of there whistling, then sat on a bench for 45 minutes digesting the small serving size that made me wonder if either they are too generous or I have the stomach of a child. In either case, for a cheap and charming meal, I absolutely adore Tacos Tony, and on the days that I get to sit down and watch colorful Spanish programming on their TV next to a large mural of a quaint Mexican vibe, I feel like Im enjoying the most relaxed ambiance that Canadas sun parlour can offer. I am a big fan of this place.
