    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.

    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.

    My husband and I have eaten at Tony's Please four times now and everytime was an excellent experience. The food is wonderful ( in particular the enchilada suiza and the soups). I love the small salad so I don't get filled up in them and the hot bread is delicious. Everyone is always so relaxed and friendly there, too. It really is like eating with family (but no bickering... lol). And the bonus is we can bring our little dog. They seat us out of the way but never make us feel like having our little boy there is a problem. Oh! The enchilada suizas is not the usual creamy kind. It has a more tomato base with just the right spice but you can always put sour cream on it if you want it a little creamy. It is so delicious even for leftovers the next day. Enjoy!

    Fantastic assortment of dishes. 11 of us had dinner and not a complaint from anyone. Great soups and pasta dishes but everything on the menu is good.

    Tony's is a wonderful place to eat! We have shared many dinners here with family and friends. Everything is cooked fresh and the staff is so friendly! Eating at Tony's makes you feel at home. Always looking forward to coming back on our trips to Puerto Vallarta!

    Had an amazing dinner! The atmosphere was warm and friendly, small yet not not too crowded. The only thing I would critique is that The lighting was very dim.. As a visually impaired person I found it very difficult to see and appreciate my meal. Please note that it will not prevent me from returning for another great meal! Waiters were very attentive and prompt. We ordered a sangria and it was delicious. I had two! My mother ordered the shrimp crêpe, superb. Crêpe was delicate; bechamel sauce was delicious; and the shrimp were plentiful. I ordered the chicken parmesiano. Totally totally amazing! Lightly breaded and and full of parmesan cheese! Incredibly light and fantastic tasting. The accompanying pasta was fresh Perfectly cooked in a garlic and Olive oil. There was no overpowering tomato sauce loose off. I devoured it! One final bit of information. The tablecloths were actuall cloth as were the napkins, folded like a fan. Been a while since ce I've had t h T type of tables setting . Bravo! Came back to where we were staying and raved about our meal! Will definitely be returning.

    The staff were run off their feet from a very busy Monday but the service great and genuinely friendly. Food and drinks are also very good and reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Paul L. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

    Cozy, family run spot with very good service. Enchilada suiza was fantastic and the drinks were good. Reasonable prices.

  • 5/5 Tom G. 4 years ago on Google
    Enchiladas Suizas, Shrimp and Chicken Crepes and the Black & 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.

    Simple and small family-run eatery. Limited menu but something for everyone. The best filet mignon I've had in some time! Lots of nice touches including an honest-to-God (wait for it) linen napkin. Personal and friendly attention from the owners themselves. Be aware that credit cards are a no-go.

    Everything at Tony's is unbelievable from the peppered steak to frog legs & the garlic soup is to die for Have been going for years & never seems to disappoint don't forget to make a reservation $$

    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. 👍
