Tommy's Restaurant

1st visit to this location, Unfortunately it was not as good as the other two I've visited. The flour tortilla was tough around the edges, there wasn't a lot of cheese, and the carne guisada was kinda dry when you bit into the chunks. My wife loved her chilaquiles and beans, but the potatoes, which looked great, were leathery and dry inside. She did say her corn tortillas were homemade and delicious! All in all, it was a mixed bag. Our server was friendly and somewhat attentive after disappearing for a bit. I'll be back to another Tommy's, just not this one. 🤷‍♂️

This place has the mom and pops dinner vibe/experience locked in. Despite it’s always busy your greeted with a kind smile and a “sit where you like”. The service is top notch and feels like you’re watching a professional football team execute precision plays as they quickly deliver food and fill coffee without fail. (Unlike the cowboys) The food comes in shockingly large portions but unlike most places the large portions don’t come at the cost of quality. You have to try the breakfast tacos as the home made tortillas will have you tearing up with memories of your abuela. The best part of the experience is it doesn’t cost you an arm n a leg, it’s all very affordable so you can enjoy your meal while being surrounded by some down to earth old timers and beautiful families.

Visit the Medical District monthly so I decided to stop for breakfast. Got the Migas and asked for it to be prepared à la mexicana with cheese. Ordered a barbacoa taco on the side. Plate came with fried potatoes and refried beans. The barbacoa didn’t come with cilantro or onions so I had to ask for some. The “à la mexicana” was $1.59, the cheese was an extra $2.29 and the little cup of cilantro and onion was $.79. I couldn’t believe how much of an up charge for the extras. Cheese I understand but $2.29 for maybe less than 1/4 cup of shredded cheese? $1.59 for diced onion tomato and jalapeno? The cilantro was maybe a teaspoon worth. The onion not much more. Pretty disappointed to say the least. The whole meal with coffee was $20.93. Won’t be returning.

Tommy’s always has the best barbacoa and overall great quality Mexican food. Their potatoes are always a bit under seasoned but cooked to perfection otherwise. There isn’t a barbacoa plate on the menu but ask for it as it is worth it!!! The only thing they need is a bigger dining room! And a waitlist on yelp or their website.

Great tasting Mexican food in a relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel like home. The portions are generous and most importantly of all, the flower tortillas are top notch. Tortillas are make or break for me they definitely didn't disappoint. Highly recommended 👍
