  After receiving numerous recommendations about this place (even from a relative who lives in London), we decided to finally check it out for ourselves. Our first visit resulted in us not going in, as the lineups were out the door...but that was a Sunday. We ventured back in the following week on a Tuesday at around 3:30pm and the place was fairly quiet.
  
  We were greeted at the door, passed two menus and were told to seat ourselves.
  
  Decor is non-descript....it reminded of several places I've dined at in Mexico...tv blaring in the back, basic tables, next to nothing on the tables (just napkins), a few authentic piece on the walls. Fancy it ain't.
  
  After reviewing their menu, we each decided on each getting a small chicken burrito (at $6.00) and share a large nachos ($7.00).
  
  Our waitress, once done cleaning tables, brought over a plate of homemade nacho chips and took our order. We were advised to go to the front of the restaurant to grab our own drinks from the fridge. I opted for a pineapple drink and my dining companion got Mandarin orange....they're authentic Mexican sodas (Jarritos) with lower sugar levels than pop.
  
  Our burritos came out first.....Fairly decent sizes considering we ordered a small. Stuffed with flavorful shredded chicken, corn, rice, fried beans and topped with cheese (Mexican), lettuce, tomatoes and onions. They were fantastic.
  
  Halfway through our meal, our nachos arrived. They were the same nacho chips we got earlier, sitting on a bed of refried beans and shredded beef, covered with lettuce and sour cream.
  
  All in all our meal was excellent and we left stuffed (and only finished half the nachos). Portion size, for the quality and quantity is excellent. We both will definitely go back.
  
  Just a quick reminder.....this is authentic Mexican fare...not tex-Mex....so the food isn't too spicy at all. You can kick it up using sauces.

  We were not impressed with our dinner visit. The flooring was broken in places (I understand that dilemma), but the food on the floor was not nice, the ripped chairs were unfortunate. My son said "this place is scuffed." But we came for the food - so I got a Mexican beef taco and an Al pastor and they were good. My son got the quesidilla and it came with crema on it (our mistake, but he won't eat it), so I shared and it just wasn't very good. My hubby was just fine with his cows tongue tacos, but my daughter was pretty weirded out by the peas and beans in the burrito, so she ate just the meat out of it.
  We will try somewhere else if we come back in town.

  This is probably the most authentic Mexican food you can find and a good casual spot for lunch. Felt like I was in Mexico. Everything is made in house, including the chips and sauce. The portions are all really large and they are able to make almost everything vegetarian. They also had Jarritos. Don't come here if you're looking for tex-mex food (no salsa here), come here if you're looking for an authentic experience. The food could use some more flavor/spice but the green sauce does the job. The place itself is small but the staff is exceptionally friendly and I would definitely come back here.

  Pretty decent Mexican food. Price is cheap. The desk surface is a bit dirty but people are nice.

  We came here upon numerous recommendations.  Tacos Tony does the basics right.  Nothing fancy, and it's not trying to be.  The ambience feels like a diner.  It is authentic Mexican food.  Then again, I doubt any unauthentic Mexican joints can survive in Leamington.
  
  We had a short lunch.  From favourite to least: chicken (pollo) taco ($2.50 tax in), nacho ($5.50 tax in), cow tongue (lengua) taco ($3.00 tax in).  Pulled chicken was fresh, lightly flavoured and not spicy.  Nacho was average until we hit the beef and re-fried beans at the bottom.  The beans+beef combo was awesome.  I regretted not having ordered a beef burrito.  Cow tongue taco was a letdown.  It was, oddly, wet.  And maybe the water diluted the flavour as the cow tongue didn't taste, as in not just bland but completely tasteless.
  
  Everything seemed to be made in house.  The portion were generous.  Two tacos can make a meal.  Tacos came in double soft tortillas, which TBH were a bit rough in quality.  The meat to tortilla ratio was outstanding (see picture).  The Mexican style comes with onion and cilantro as toppings.  The Supreme style comes with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and cheese as toppings.  The green salsa was too watery.  Tony's prices were the lowest among the three Latin American restaurants we had visited.  
  
  Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the visit.  The authenticity, portion, pricing can't be beat.  The cow tongue, tortilla and salsa, however, pulled down the rating.  Overall 3.5 stars.
