Weâve been going to Tonyâs for 24 years and our friends have been going for 40!!Itâs a family-owned, family-run business with very authentic Mexican food in a friendly, family oriented environment.I love their carne asada, best ever, but this time I ordered the anniversary plate with a mini tamale, mini taco, mini chile relleno, and mini enchilada. A bit of everything to celebrate their ..... 60 years in business (I think itâs 60!!)My husband selected a combination of beef Colorado and carnitas.Often there will be mariachis singing table to table.Indoor and outdoor seating are both available.There is a wonderful area of birds that our kids used to love to watch, just off the bar.Plenty of parking, right by the restaurant and across the street.

I joined a couple colleagues at Fidelâs for dinner. It is a large multilevel restaurant with traditional Mexican fare. I was disappointed that they didnât have any mole dishes, so I ordered the Carnitas instead. They were very good and served with flour (or corn) tortillas, chips and pinto beans. I also had the std margarita served in a short glass tumbler. The margarita was acceptable but not exceptional. Prices are high average. I recommend Fidelâs although I will try other places before returning, with so many Mexican options around.

We visited with a large family of 10 this evening and were treated to excellent service. We started with one of their tasty margaritas and selected with some difficulty(many items to choose from) an entree off the extensive menu. Chili Colorado was my choice. I especialy enjoyed the housemade corn tortillas served with dinner. The large portions that were served satisfied our entire group. The old world decor and beautiful patio area as well as a large bar area made for an inviting dining experience.

Hard to beat this place for ambiance, friendly people, food and views. WE had a Flamed Chile Rellanno stuffed with cheese and all the fixins. Plus some Cadillac Margaritas. The bartendar's Matt and Jason are incredible and make the place what it is. Fantastic!!

Hacienda de Vega is located in The Harvest Ranch Market shopping center at Encinitas Boulevard and Rancho Santa Fe Rd. The interior is nicely decorated and there is a large outdoor patio with lots of tables. The drink menu has lots of styles of margaritas and other interesting cocktails as well as draft beers etc. The Mexican food menu is unusual in that there are no combination plates. They have interesting entrees including steaks, carnitas, enchiladas, tacos and burritos mostly served with interesting sauces and rice and beans. The one thing I would like to see added to the menu would be chili rellanos. I was there for lunch and had Enchiladas Haciendas with chicken, cheese, a red sauce along with rice and beans and a margarita de la casa. The food and service was good and I will return for dinner at some time.
