Lovely place for dinner with great service and very good food. The Pepper Steak was excellent. The Beef Fajitas and the Fried fish were very good.

This is a fabulous place to stop for dinner. Tony is super friendly and the food is delicious. I've eaten the chicken liver dinner, they aren't fried but cooked in a brown gravy. I usually go for the chicken or shrimp fajitas. He will accommodate any specific diet needs. My husband really enjoys the chicken parmesan. It's not what you would normally expect, but delicious nonetheless. You get fresh made salsa with a little kick. A simple salad and bread, before the meal. Margaritas are GOOD - get the traditional one. Runs $30-$40 for two of us and four drinks.

First off, there was a line in frot of Tony's Please, the measure of a good restaurant. A family place, it was established in 1978. According to regulars we spoke with in line, the second generation was now in charge.

I'm an American visiting Mexico. I don't know why I would think that just because a dish had an American name that it would taste anything like what I was used to.

My date ordered the Chicken Parmesan. It arrived looking like flat pieces of chicken with something wrapped around it. No pasta, no smothering red sauce.

I ordered chicken livers, thinking I'd get a big old mess of greasy fried livers. What I got was little chunks of liver smothered in a brown gravy.

I took a picture of both dishes to prove to friends back home just how bizarre people here mistakenly cooked these dishes.

Contempt prior to investigation came to mind as we began to taste....

Wowsers!! The chicken parmesan was actually encrusted with melted cheese. It was probably one of the most interesting recipes I've ever tasted. Nothing like the chicken parmesan I'm used to, but far, far better. There was just a little drizzle of a sauce on the side of the plate that tasted like a very light red sauce, maybe like a vodka sauce. It was simply used for dipping. It wasn't smothered like we're used to in the states. ¡delicioso!

Now, the livers. I don't eat them often, but every now and then I get a craving. Our neighbor had them the night before and said they were really good. When I saw them I was very disappointed. One of the reasons I like them back home is because I can cover them with ketchup. I know it's weird, but that's just the way I eat them. And really by themselves, they don't taste so good, that's why I use ketchup. I hesitated, took a bite. SURPRISE!! I didn't need ketchup! They were cooked just right without breading and the brown gravy was light in taste, adding just a bit of cover-up for the livers. Cleaned my plate and felt bad that I'd felt betrayed in the beginning.

Bottom line: if you think you are going into Tony's Please to get an American dish, I'm telling you now that you'd be wrong!

They do take reservations, but no credit cards. With tip, we paid $530 pesos. Very reasonable for the splash of flavors.

Love it, friendly welcoming people, good service and nice food. Price is responsible but not chip for sure. I had frogs leg and i loved it. Shrimp rap in bacon is amazing be careful to not bite your finger. ????

Always good. Enjoyed the enchiladas suizza for maybe the 10th time - excellent. Menu includes a couple of unusual items: frog legs and chicken livers. I am not a connoisseur of either but a friend gave raves to the livers.

Enchiladas Suizas, Shrimp and Chicken Crepes and the Black u0026 White Steak were all amazing. We have walked by here a hundred times and said we needed to eat here. I am so glad we finally did. It was wonderful and we will be coming back soon.
