Tono’s Bar and Grill

Yum Yum. Some friends took us here a while back for the first time and we can’t get enough — we keep coming back for more. Poblano soup is delicious (I do wish that they would shred the cheese instead of cube it though– just a side note) I have yet to have anything on the menu that wasn’t good. My favorite would be the Tacos al Carbon as the meat has a lot of flavor! The enchiladas suzios is also really good. I definitely recommend this place. The staff has been predominantly the same since we started going a few years ago and that always says a lot about a place.

Great service. Food is usually brought out quickly. I recommend this place if you want authentic interior Mexican food. Some plates are pricey but worth it! I highly recommend the caldo loco, especially in the winter.

The service and the food was very good. they did not have much of a wine selection or a cocktail selection. I would definitely go back

I have yet to eat a meal here that I didn’t like. I don’t eat here very often but do enjoy the food, atmosphere and prices. The service tends to vary. Staff always friendly but not always as fast as I would like, especially when they are busy.

Definitely need a better cook, the steaks leave a lot to be desired and for the $ 35 + price Texas roadhouse can serve you a way better steak!

Wow, this place is still open? I just lost a bet, I thought this poop soup would be closed down by now. We’ll that just goes to show the sense of humor in Laredo.
Been there twice once to check it out, the other by invite, both times were terrible, food, service, price. parking.
Don’t believe me, then come on by and you’ll see

Probably the best Mexican restaurant in Laredo.
Authentic interior Mexican food, with a menu that varies from luch to dinner. Small sitting place, with good waiting staff, uniformed and well trained. The decoration is folksy, but elegant. Full bar.
They have a magnificent poblano soup, wich is green and served with bit of cheese that starts melting right away. The menu dances from tortas, to some stews, mostly served with white rice and corn, and of course some beans. The dinner menu varies form top meat cuts in generous sauces to fish and chicken plates.
Again, there is nothing like it in Laredo… but those tiny beers, come on !!!

I only rated this 5 stars, because it does not get any better than this in Laredo. In any other city, I’d probably give it 4 stars. The quality of the food is outstanding. The menu is brief, but you’ll find an assortment of beef, chicken, and seafood. A food snob may notice the plating/​garnish is underwhelming. My chilean sea bass was garnished with a flower and a lime split in two. Note: Laredo restaurants seem to serve a bowl of limes for every dish, so the limes on this entrée had to be more for garnish. But we dine for food quality, right? I’ve eaten here about 4 times over the past 8 years and have never had a disappointing meal.
A word of caution to those who may choose to eat here based on price. I see Unilocal has graded this with $$. The steaks are priced $ 30 and up. There are more entrees priced at or above $ 30 than there are dishes priced below. So I’m not seeing a justification for only a $$ price representation. It should be higher. My margarita was $ 14, but I did specify top shelf booze.
The poblano soup is darn good. It’s a cream based soup. I think it would be more flavorful if it would have a roasted poblano flavor. Perhaps they tried, but I wasn’t picking up on it.
Good luck finding a better restaurant in Laredo. I’d wager you won’t

Used Unilocal for the first and decided to go to Tonos bar and grill based on the reviews. It didn’t disappoint. The Poblano soup was very tasty and the enchiladas suiza were very good. I always like when a restaurant uses all white chicken meat in their enchiladas. The chips and salsas before the meal were great. There were two types of chips (which appeared to be homemade). One type was a little puffy and the other thin and charred (so yummy!). Would definitely recommend!

Horrible service needed to ask for chips and salsa multiple times. Drinks were never refilled. Food was ok but I would not come back ridiculous !! You have to pay for extra chips and the saga continues

True– nice ambiance, but beware, very expensive!!!

My absolute favorite place for breakfast or lunch. Their food portions are very generous and prices are competitive. Perfect place to take a date or have a business meeting. Try the red sauce that is supplied at every table. Abdolutly delicious.

Setting: Nice mix of Texan and Mexican décor. Darkly lit, good for dates. Very nice, very clean bathrooms.
Food: Delish! Had the rib steak lunch special… very good! Basically it’s rib steak with salsa. Can’t beat that! The complimentary chips and salsa are very good too. You must be careful not to eat so many, although it’s very tempting. You’ll get full easily. Very decent price… this meal with beer cost ~$ 20.
Service: Top notch! Very helpful with all the questions we had. For someone not from there, that’s a big plus! Kudos to the folks at Tonos!
