gringal Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 After the original Tony left, and after we found that the prices went up while the quality went down, we stopped going there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexy Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 After not going to the Original Tony's for quite a while I was shocked to see the wonderful menu of mexican dishes was no more. And worse, the menu focused entirely on high priced beef in various forms, including three beef tacos at 200 pesos! The big place that used to be packed was just about empty. Now I'm watching the very spruced up renovations going on. Somebody with no feel for what works is icharge, is my guess.

Mostlylost Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 The vast majority of the menu was definitely not high priced beef. While there is an excellent selection of imported cuts I found: The 3 taco or quesadilla plate includes 100gr of ribeye in each taco (300gr total) $190 350 gr rib eye or a 400gr T bone for $279 Vacio $299 Sundays Lamb Chops $229 Mustard Salmon $279 Mexican food? Sopa Azteca $65 Tamarind chicken breast $179 Burito Tony 2.0 with 300gr of rib eye $209 Tuetanos (bone marrow) $199 Tripa $155 Camarones Zarandeados $189 Fajitas de res $209 Tamarind shrimp $204 3 Quesadillas $79 Fried Beans and Cheese Tacos (3 pieces) $42 Sundays Chamorro $199 Check for yourself https://en.eloriginal.com.mx/menu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisy2013 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Expect smaller portion of arrachera, it was one half the size it used to be, yes prices have gone up. Baked potato was not that hot. We were disappointed. It use to be so great. We were there at lunchtime and only one couple there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Thanks for that current menu, Mostly Lost. High prices, maybe worth it for the quality-beef lovers. But even with the few less expensive items added--they weren't there the day I stopped in thinking it was the old Tony's-- I can't see it as a place that will draw a crowd, especially not a lunch crowd.

ibarra Posted August 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Three of us met there Tuesday at noon for lunch. The main dining area had construction material on all the tables and a man was using a drill on the ceiling. I asked if they were open and was told, yes at 12:00. I pointed out that it was after 12. A waiter came from the other room and told us they would open in 3 minutes. We waited until 20 after and nothing had changed. Needless to say, we left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, why waste your time, right? Just don't go back if you are unhappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy2013 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Right we will not go back. 2 out of 3 had arrachera. I looked at it and asked both what they ordered. Will not go back. Too many other great places to eat. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvsdawgs Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Tony gave the restaurant to his daughter who did very well with it. Then her obnoxious and arrogant husband who has illusions of grandeur started taking over and that is when it started to go down the tubes. Once she was pregnant with the second child she seemed to be out of the picture. He has been aggressive towards some of the customers, verbally and almost physically attacked a woman walking by. Many will not go there any longer due to him. He definitely is in the wrong business, Tony wouldn't recognize anything about the great restaurant he created. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Tony's has been on Traitte's delivery for a few weeks. I've ordered once. The ribs were wonderful. Falling off the bone and lots of sauce. Azteca soup was carefully prepared with fresh, slivered tortillas in a separate container. YMMV. Consistency is a huge problem around here. I've had inedible wings and lousy ribs from Smoke House, for instance. It's listed under El Original Tony's. Good luck, brave adventurers!

artsnob Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 I had the worst ribs at Smoke House, best at newly remodeled Brunos, And Membrillo in Ajijic Centro, and great ones delivered from Adelitas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
