Driving up Balboa Boulevard at about 3 p.m. today, I realized I hadn't had lunch, so I pulled into this familiar strip mall. I saw Tony's Mexican restaurants storefront, so I decided to give it a try. It wasn't very busy and there was no one at the counter so I walked up to the counter to place a an order for a dinner plate. I must have waited about five minutes while the counter person was clearly doing things in front of me without even glancing at me, I tried to get her attention but to no avail. She eventually came to the counter with a pad and pencil and I smiled at her and said are you having a good day? And she looked at me with a scowl, I then said are you happy? She took a deep breath and exclaimed harshly to me "what?" At that point I decided I should not eat in such a hostile environment turned around and walked out.

   Read moreCame here to get something for my wife to eat. She got the steak sandwich with fries and a Medium Horchata. The Horchata wasn't cold, borderline room temperature and the taste was a little off putting. From what she said about the steak sandwich it is juicy and flavorful. There were some parts of the steak that were a bit tough to chew but overall it was good. The fries were well done and tasted good. The salsa and chips were decent. The salsa was a bit watery for my taste but it did pass the spicy test. Overall it was good, she does say she wouldn't order the same thing again, probably try something else and see how that turns out. All in all it was $14.38.
