This place has the best Mexican food restaurant in San Diego. I travel from East County to eat here. Their fish tacos are amazing with huge servings in each taco. They also give a 4% cash discount now which is nice. My favorite Tony's is the one near Rosecrans. It's very pretty with outdoor seating and a big salea bar. The staff there are also extra nice. The Tony's off of Washington Street is also good. I always recommend this place. Just perfection

During my recent visit to Tony's Fresh Mexican Food, I had the pleasure of experiencing their fajitas, and I must say, they did not disappoint. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, capturing the essence of authentic Mexican culture. The fajitas arrived beautifully presented on a plate, a delightful mix of colorful bell peppers, onions, and perfectly seasoned strips of chicken, beef, and succulent shrimp. The aroma was intoxicating, hinting at the rich, smoky flavors to come. Each bite was a harmonious blend of tender meat, juicy shrimp, and crisp vegetables, wrapped in soft, warm tortillas. The accompanying guacamole, sour cream, and salsa were fresh and added the perfect balance of creamy and tangy notes. What truly elevated my dining experience was the exceptional customer service provided by Danna. From the outset, she greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm, making me feel right at home. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she offered insightful recommendations. Danna was attentive without being intrusive, and that I had everything I needed to enjoy my meal to the fullest. Danna's professionalism and friendly demeanor made a significant difference, transforming a great meal into a memorable dining experience. If you're looking for delicious fajitas and outstanding service, Tony's Fresh Mexican Food is the place to go. Kudos to Danna and the entire team for their dedication to excellent customer service and high-quality food. I can't wait to return!

One of the top Mexican food places in San Diego. Their food is really clean and has that Whole Foods taste. We ate breakfast here and recommend you come try the breakfast burritos they are amazing. The vibe inside the restaurant is more of a fast food kinda vibe, but if you can see past that the food is amazing!!!

12.5.22 Monday morning 7am drove by the place. Turned around and glad I did because I had the pleasure of enjoying the BEST breakfast burrito I've had in my life. We were the only ones in line at the drive through. Service was prompt. We shared one breakfast burrito supreme for $10.49: Supreme Breakfast Burrito Served with eggs, bacon, ham, chorizo, potatoes, cheese, and sour cream. This thing was big, tasty, fresh, cheesy, meaty, and I added a tad bit of the spicy salsa. Wow! It had so many great elements and filled up two hungry adults with a few bites left over. Highly recommend this meal anytime (breakfast served all day too)!
