This is the first time eating here at Tony’s Mexican Grill. I can’t find anything redeeming to say about this restaurant. The service was subpar and the food was awful. I grew up in Pilsen and moved out to the suburbia this past year. We read the reviews about this place so we were sure we were going to have some pretty good Mexican food. My Bistec a la Mexicana was so greasy I couldn’t enjoy it at all. No flavor, I had to add salt and lime to give it some flavor and cut the oil. My wife had her usual when we eat Mexican ( Carne Asada a la Tampequena) the enchiladas were so dry. The worse she’s ever had. The carne asada was so greasy it left an after taste in your mouth and no flavor. I don’t know who was in the kitchen tonight but they need to stay out of the kitchen. When they asked if we wanted to take our leftovers home we said no thank you. They didn’t notice that our plates were still full. Yes the quantity of food given is a lot. It is such a waste if the quality is so bad. So much for having leftovers for lunch. There were 3 of us tonight, no appetizers, 3 beers, 2 Diet RC’s in a serve yourself styrofoam cup. This was a $70 lesson learned. Maybe we should have just had a taco. So disappointed. Next time I will just stop at El Milagro in Pilsen on the way home to the...
Read moreWhen I tell you this restaurant has seriously disappointed me I can speak from the truth. This restaurant receives zero stars from me if google allowed it. Every time I come there my order is either wrong or I’m charged extra for things that come with the dinner and today was the icing on the cake. How do you advertise what comes with a dinner but say that it only comes with select dinners but you have it listed on your menu? I’ve lived in Lyons for 10 years and always frequent Zacotaco but gave them a try because zacotaco was always busy. If you’re in the Lyons area don’t bother eating here. There’s always new staff, inconsistency with the flavor of the food, and very unorganized. Take your business else where. You will not regret it. There are other taco spots in the area that care more for their customers. You’ll find yourself having more of a headache each and every time. Oh and I went over to Tony’s restaurant to voice my complaint since they own the establishment but guess what, the owner was too busy to...
Read moreI ordered the big and nasty also known as the chicken burrito. The rice, beans, lettuce, guacamole, and burrito all tasted the same... Bland and terrible. The meat in the burrito tasted like it was stewed in hot dog water. I've never had such a bad burrito. We paid for our food and told the staff that is was terrible and they apologized but I don't understand how this place has a 4.5 rating. Do that good cooks leave early? Do they cook the food in the morning and just keep reheating it all day? That would explain the terrible rice and beans. My wife ordered tacos. The shells were wrong. She tried the meat in my burrito and spit it back out. They did have 2 good things that we ate-the chips and salsa. Also their water was very tasty compared to the food. I wish that I had just stuck with the water and the chips with salsa. Pitiful food. I didn't realize that you could serve people slop but hey if you want to try some, go to Rikys and order their chicken...
