We wanted Mexican food and margaritas. They did not have a liquor license. They did have beer and wine. The food was ok, but no better. The service was slow.

Like much in TorC, this burger joint seems caught in a time warp. Although that's part of the town's charm, the food didn't live up to our retro hopes. Hankering for New Mexican food, we split the combination plate -- a couple of enchiladas, a skinny chile relleno, a bit of lettuce and tomato, a small scoop of refried beans and Spanish rice that came swimming in liquid. The tostado on the side was crisp and not bad. The best thing about our meal was the green chile salsa. A spot of dried ketchup on our tabletop made us wonder about the overall cleanliness of the place -- and we were charged 50 cents each for tap water.

I had the combo plate #3. Taco was excellent, Chile Renello was different, but tasty.Wish the red pork burrito was better, just average. The cheese enchilada had heat and was good. Place is a nice family place, nothing fancy. Service was a little slow, but your in T or C, not Chicago; embrace it. Plenty of parking in lot or one the one way street. No far from hotels. Cheap eats, under $20.

Nothing exciting or spicy about the food here...just decent food to fill your belly. We were hoping for an outstanding mom-and-pop and were sorely disappointed. The beans were good, and creamy on the Frito pie. I'd never seen it made with cream of mushroom soup before. The green chile stew was chunky, with meat and vegetables...not your typical New Mexican green chile stew. Flavor of all was "meh" but the servings were sizeable, service was friendly and quick, and the price was right. People seem to like it, so I hope they succeed.

While spending the weekend in Truth of Consequences recently, We tried Tony's for dinner. It appeared that the customers were primarily locals (a good sign). We were not disappointed with the food. it was delicious, plenty of it and not expensive. The staff were very attentive and friendly. This will definitely be at the top of our places to eat whenever we are in the area.
